Obviously Budda Baker didn't use that technique and it cost him a concussion, and possibly more health issues later in life. Coaches bench receivers for dropping passes, do they not? Coaches bench lineman for missing blocks, do they not? Should coaches bench players who don't follow the properly taught tackling techniques? And if the answer is yes, do they? Really?

At least Bears games are good for something: gambling. https://deadspin.com/want-to-know-who-s-going-to-win-this-weekend-just-look-1848393811

https://www.jconline.com/story/news/2022/01/20/family-center-eminent-domain-push-sees-dream-dying/6571009001/ Hmm, it does not state that the TSC even looked for an alternative parcel of land that was for sale. Instead they just happened to luck out with an adjoining parcel of farmland and decided to take it by force. Tyranny.

Good point.

Wow, truly a rock icon and legend. He will be missed.

Thank you. I wonder how many of these transgender applications have been filed with the IHSAA so far.

Can you please point me to those rules in their by-laws regarding transgender "girls" participating in sports? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen for the IHSAA.

So what's the use of teaching this technique if the players are not going to embrace it and use it?

Go Redskins!

Report me then. I view it as akin to purchasing a newspaper, reading it, then leaving it on the table after I leave so others can read it. What's the real difference?

https://greenwald.substack.com/p/congresss-16-committee-claims-absolute The committee did not deny that it failed to meet these requirements. Obviously, they could not argue that, given that the plan they created with JPMorgan and its lawyer, Loretta Lynch, was designed to ensure that Budowich have no time to obtain a judicial ruling before his bank records were handed over. Instead, the committee's response is they do not have to comply with this law. “The Act restricts only agencies and departments of the United States, and the Select Committee is neither,” the committee's lawyer contended. In fact, they explicitly argued that these safeguards were meant to be imposed only on the FBI and other law enforcement agencies, but were intended to exempt Congress even when, as here, they are clearly engaged in investigating private citizens for potential crimes. “Multiple provisions of the statute underscore that Congress intended 'Government authority' to mean an executive branch agency or department,” the committee's lawyers wrote in an assertion of power breathtaking in its scope and limitlessness. All of the other committee's arguments are similarly designed to bestow on itself absolute and unlimited power in how it investigates private citizens, and to insist that the judiciary is without power to impose limits on it. The committee insists, for instance, that it can investigate anyone it wants in connection with 1/6 even if its motive is not to enact new laws and even if the documents it seeks (Budowich's financial records) have no relationship to any proposed new laws. That is because, it says, “Congressional committees are not required to identify a specific piece of legislation in advance of conducting an investigation of the pertinent facts. It is sufficient that a committee’s investigation concerns a subject on which legislation 'could be had.'" Such a principle, if accepted, would destroy any limits on Congress’s ability to investigate citizens (clearly, it was possible for the McCarthy-era Congressional investigations to lead to new laws even though, as the Supreme Court twice ruled when striking them down, that was clearly not its primary purpose). But Judge Boasberg nonetheless accepted the committee's argument on the ground that an appellate court had already ruled that the 1/6 Committee had a valid legislative purpose and he was therefore bound by that decision. The committee's other arguments are even more extreme: namely, that “the Constitution’s Speech or Debate Clause provides absolute immunity to Members and committees when performing legislative acts" and that “sovereign immunity prohibits litigation against Congress to which it has not consented, and no such consent has been.” That would mean that the 1/6 Committee could literally do whatever it wanted to citizens, and no court would have the right even to review the legality or constitutionality of what it is doing let alone put a stop to it. What happened during the first War on Terror — and so many other events that were perceived as traumatic — is instructive here. So many Americans were so horrified by the carnage of that day that, for years, many did not care or want to hear about legal niceties, constitutional limits or civil liberties regarding the government's actions. Anything the government did in the name of responding to or retaliating for 9/11 became inherently justified, and anyone who objected — no matter the principles cited — was deemed to be on the side of the terrorists. The same dynamic is prevailing here. There are serious constitutional limits on the ability of Congress to investigate private citizens. It is blatantly abusive to scheme with JPMorgan and its counsel Loretta Lynch to ensure that a citizen has no time to seek judicial relief regarding the committee's attempt to obtain mounds of his personal and financial records. And, in general, the committee has been on a rampage targeting not only Trump officials or people who engaged in criminal behavior at the Capitol on January 6 but a wide group of citizens whose only crime appears to be their political beliefs and associations — exactly what the Supreme Court cited when striking down the excesses of Congress’s McCarthy-era probes of citizens. But with the media overwhelmingly cheering anything done in the name of stopping the Trump movement and those who supported 1/6 in any way, all of these civil liberties concerns and constitutional protections are run roughshod over in the name of safety. The latest arguments from the Congressional 1/6 Committee amount to little more than an assertion of unfettered power for Adam Schiff, Liz Cheney and the rest of the committee members to dig into the lives of anyone they want without limits. Yep. McCarthy-era type terrorism of United State citizens is still happening today, courtesy of this out of control 1/6 Committee. Chilling.

https://jalopnik.com/this-tiny-alabama-town-of-1-200-has-been-overrun-by-pol-1848389331 It’s a rampant display of for-profit overpolicing from law enforcement in a tiny town with a population whose median income is well below state average — a town that survives in large part due to tax revenue from the local Dollar General. It’s not a town known for violence, though it already brought in a pretty high percentage of its local revenue from fines and forfeitures, even before the policing crisis started. A town with just 6.3 miles of roads saw officers patrol 114,438 miles in 2020. And those patrols resulted in stops that residents have often found problematic. There’s the grandmother who’s suing the city alleging that she was stopped after officers claimed she flashed her headlights to warn other cars that they were nearby. Or there’s another resident who was one of 75 people that were given a ticket for simply using the left lane on the interstate. The city is in the business of screwing over its residents. And the mayor doesn’t seem to care that people are complaining: Residents are hoping something can be done about the situation soon. The sheriff for Brookside’s Jefferson Count, Mark Pettway, thinks everything that’s going on will eventually attract the attention of the federal government: Hmm, somebody in the Brookside government is making some $ over this.

Good point. They want to keep up the fiction of marijuana as the 'wacky weed'.

I guess we now need separate conferences for those schools/communities who choose to "invest" enough in extracurricular athletics and those schools/communities who choose not to "invest". Why Western Boone and not Frankfort? From a geographical standpoint the Hot Dogs make better sense. Oh, it's that "invest" in sports thing.

I guess Budda Baker wasn't taught rugby style tackling. How many current players on NFL rosters did not play youth football, when the foundation of their skills coaching was lain? Probably few to none.

But it was in Obi-Wan's plan. Was not talking to you, Chief.

Frankfort to Eastbrook would be quite the haul. 70+ miles.

Never said I didn't like dogs. https://letterpile.com/humor/best-bumper-stickers-for-your-subaru Not residential growth. But warehouse and light industrial growth is almost a certainty. It is still urban sprawl.

As do I.

I drive through western Boone county and the Dover area quite frequently (in my sticker free 2005 Dodge Caravan, btw) The sprawl is coming. Every day Lebanon becomes more and more just a bedroom community for the Indy metro urban sprawl. How is your Outback with the "wag more, bark less", "life is good", and "Feel the Bern" stickers doing?

Has Lilly made public comments that they wish to get into the legal marijuana distribution business?
