The Colts lost because Wentz and Reich conveniently forgot the Colts have the current leading rusher in the NFL. Instead they run something like 25+ consecutive pass plays. Run the damn ball.

No, had a wonderful sleep. Just have any issue with adults/authority figures not letting young people who have been put in a leadership role you know, actually lead and maybe make a mistake in doing so. Ahh, so it's to protect the referee, not actually let the young man in a leadership role learn from his mistake. Got it. Perhaps the team or coach chose the wrong captain? Again, why are adults in positions of authority so risk adverse about letting these youth leaders actually make a mistake like this during a game?

Wow, nice way to treat a team Captain as just a dumb jock, and strip away a key part of his leadership role. Part of being a team "Captain" is now just a sham.

When men were men.

Muncie, Ball State volleyball coaching legend Don Shondell dies at 92 https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/2021/11/24/muncie-ball-state-volleyball-coaching-legend-don-shondell-dies/8748396002/ Yes, truly an Indiana and national legend. He will be missed.

And if Nagy given the boot it shouldn't stop with him. The 'hermit of Halas Hall' needs to go as well: https://dawindycity.com/2021/11/23/chicago-bears-ryan-pace-hiding-halas-hall/

Agreed. Like a victory over the winless Lions is going to make any difference. And that victory if far, far from a done deal. Nobody will be surprised if the Lions win given how craptastic the Bears have been playing.

Elizabeth Warren Is Trying To Blame Inflation on 'Price Gouging.' Don't Buy It. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45985554/installing-jar-file-via-nssm Warren is probably right that successful multinational corporations like oil companies do respond to shifts in the economy by finding ways to turn a profit. Because, well, that's what they have to do to keep being successful multinational companies. There's hardly anything shadowy or suspicious about that. You can put gas in your car this morning because oil companies are making a profit, whether Warren approves or not. The price-gouging claim, however, is just wildly off base and smacks of political desperation. For months, Democrats claimed that dumping trillions of dollars into the economy during the COVID-19 pandemic—in the form of direct payments, expanded unemployment benefits, and other spending—would not trigger inflation. Then they claimed inflation was transitory. Months later, it now looks like significant inflation will continue well into next year, so a scapegoat must be found. But Warren's claim that oil companies are jacking up prices to turn a bigger profit doesn't stand up to even the slightest scrutiny. By their very nature, high prices nudge consumers to buy less than they otherwise would. This is somehow good for the companies that make money by selling things? That's a shortsighted view that only a politician could embrace. Any business operating under the idea that the key to success is screwing over its customers by arbitrarily doubling prices won't be around very long. In Warren's view, Walmart would be more successful if it suddenly doubled the price of everything it sells because that would mean more profit. It would be helpful to her argument if Warren could point to any evidence of this ever happening, but of course she can't. There's a less theoretical way to test her claim, too. If Exxon and Chevron had indeed "doubled their profits," as Warren claims, that should translate into a huge boost for their shareholders. You'd expect such a sudden surge in corporate profits to be reflected in their stock prices, right? But Exxon's stock was trading at about $62 per share on Monday morning. Six months ago, it was trading at…$59.61, according to Google Finance. Chevron stock is up a bit more over the past six months, but it is still underperforming the market as a whole (the S&P 500 is up more than 12 percent in the past six months): Screenshot from Google Finance; November 22, 2021 Where are all those extra profits going? I'm sure Warren would answer by claiming that billionaires are hiding the cash under their gold-encrusted mattresses in the Cayman Islands and that's why the IRS needs the authority to snoop on the bank accounts of Americans earning $600 a year on Etsy—and all that makes about as much sense as blaming inflation on price gouging. When it comes to assigning blame for any of life's unpleasantries, Warren is like a broken record. Billionaires and corporations, in Warren's view, are responsible for everything from high college costs to the lack of affordable housing to the current supply chain problems. Just as reliably, she ignores the role that government has played in creating or worsening those problems—by subsidizing student loans, imposing restrictive zoning laws, and implementing trade-limiting rules like tariffs and the Jones Act, for example. The same is true when it comes to gas prices, by the way. Government policies are contributing to inflation already, but Warren was one of several Democrats who backed a carbon tax during the 2020 presidential primaries. Regardless of what merits a carbon tax might have as a way to curb climate change, it is undeniable that it would mean higher prices at the pump. With inflation suddenly taking center stage in the political discourse, Warren is trotting out the same tired arguments blaming successful businesses for the consequences of failed government policy. There's no reason to believe her. Yep, here progressive liberal rhetoric/lies are old and tired. Nobody listens to her anymore.

Rule of thumb: Never pick against a P/P. If the contest is against two P/P then who really cares?

Ahh yes, Toyota. Well-paid factory workers and management buying up land in southern Gibson county? With enrollment growth being what was previously describe one hope housing growth can keep up with. Wonder if there also others fleeing the liberal hell called Illinois?

Evansville flight?

Kyle Rittenhouse Deserves More Than Acquittal https://www.theamericanconservative.com/articles/the-rittenhouse-verdict-is-good-but-kenosha-needs-more/ Given these instructions, there was never any ambiguity about Rittenhouse’s actions, and the mere fact that charges were brought by the state to begin with is a miscarriage of justice. But. I hesitate to continue at all, given the vitriol invited from corners of the right by anything but praise for Rittenhouse. But. The standard line from sympathetic but critical liberals like Atlantic columnist David French is that he never should have been there. This is true, actually. Kyle Rittenhouse should not have been there, because other people should have. The city’s police force should have been capable of maintaining peace on the streets. If that failed, the elected governor should have sent in the National Guard. As the last resort, private citizens should be capable of stepping up. When the maintenance of order demands the use of force, public spaces should be protected by men with guns, who know how to use them and how not to. Kyle Rittenhouse is not that—though his actions and apparent instincts suggest he is the kind of man who, given better formative circumstances, would be. As it is, he’s a naive kid who fell in with some LARPers, who really were (in perhaps the one characterization Thomas Binger managed to get right) mostly just “wannabe soldiers acting tough.” In the Week, Samuel Goldman wrote about them at length, “marginal men to whom flames and bullets are more appealing than their chances for a quiet life … the lonely, damaged men our educational, economic, and political institutions seem to generate in large numbers.” Nobody who watches the videos of that night or has followed the progression of testimony in court can conclude in good faith that, along with these other would-be protectors, Kyle—who, for instance, made the initial, basic blunder of getting himself left alone in a hostile environment—knew what he was doing. This points to another big-picture concern. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the same system that left Kyle Rittenhouse feeling like he had to defend his streets with a rifle also failed to prepare him to do so very competently. When society collapses because the men are all too soft to maintain order, neither those men nor the sons they’ve raised can really be expected to put it back together again. Some are inclined to lionize Rittenhouse because he felt a noble instinct to defend his community. He tried, and he did it when others would not. This impulse is certainly laudable. But the hard truth of the matter is: If the only thing standing between you and anarchy is a lone Kyle Rittenhouse, your best option is to reach for your rosary. He got lucky once; we will not get lucky every time. The great tragedy of Kenosha is that, in a matter of days, civilization collapsed so fully that the only people willing to stand against chaos were teenagers and twenty-somethings who barely knew how to shoot, much less how to fight, and not at all how to establish or maintain control. That is the reason people died, and the reason Kyle Rittenhouse will spend the rest of his life with the weight of having killed them: the wholesale dereliction of basic duty by an ineffectual government, and the inability of the whole society to form men as capable as they are willing to step into the breach. Once the regime finally crawled out of its bunker, with whole sections of the city turned to ash, the best it could manage was to send some effeminate mediocrity to prosecute the youngest of the LARPers for killing a pedophile and another violent criminal in ham-fisted self-defense. Binger’s failure is deserved, and it is just. It saves Kyle Rittenhouse from a life of wrongful imprisonment. But it does not save him from what brought him here in the first place: absolute failure all the way down. The decline of Kenosha into an anarchic wasteland. The degradation of citizens to a status almost as debased as their government. Even with the smoke cleared, even with Rittenhouse acquitted, that remains. No order. No victory. No heroes. Barely men.

Yep. See yesterday's Colt/Bills game for an impressive offensive performance played more like old school football. Just run the damn ball.

OMG! Athletes need only apply.

Who are the defensive OMG! Athletes available in the next draft?

Agreed. Glad you finally see things in the correct perspective.

It appears the Indianapolis urban sprawl hegemony is virtually assured in 5 of the 6 classes.

Good story illustrating the madness of all this. And more evidence that masks are worthless, they are just virtue signalling.
