I believe NFHS gets data from NCCSIR and or RIO.

My wife likes to order shoes/clothes, etc. from Macy's online. She'll order stuff, and return what doesn't fit or she doesn't like. So, since I'm in the city a lot more than her, it falls upon me to return what she doesn't want. A couple of weeks ago, I return a couple of pairs of heels. The woman at the counter opens them up, has a bit of a smirk on her face and asks "they didn't fit?" To which I replied, keeping a straight face and without batting an eye, "I was looking for something a little sexier for dancing". Eff it man, may as well have a little fun with it.

Hence my sarcastic comment about him speaking for all conservatives. Because every time some id1ot makes a stupid comment like this, we all get stuck with it. Conversely Crazy Uncle Joe says "I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy. I mean, that's a storybook, man." and everyone laughs it off, ohhhh, that's just Crazy Uncle Joe.

The NCCSIR report spells out the issues with reporting, it's still not exactly a science. No word from the Boston Globe. Your gut.....now with get to the crux of it.

And they're cheap right now.

I realize we're getting off in the weeds, but since your article seems to focus on deaths, NCCSIR seem to disagree, I don't see any discernible trend. I'm not going to knock the Boston Globe's effort to shock and awe, but NCCSIR and RIO by all accounts I've been privy to is the gold standard when it comes to sport related injury statistics. Wear non-cleated shoes. It did happen on grass as well, though probably not with as much frequency, my ankle is still jank, but it beats the having knee surgery!

How the hell would I know? I've never heard of the guy or the Op/Ed until you posted it. More to the point of my original post that you quoted. I was being sarcastic, he DOESN'T speak for all conservatives. I know, semantics. According to Google, their phone number is (334) 813-5444

YOU INTIMATED THAT HE SOMEHOW GOT SPECIAL TREATMENT WITH NO EVIDENCE WHATSOEVER. NOT READING BETWEEN BETWEEN LINES. YOUR BIAS IS PLAIN AS DAY. Slow down, use your words. I was speaking of all members of congress at the airport, not the train station. As it turns out....some do receive preferential treatment.....https://www.cheatsheet.com/culture/not-everybody-has-to-go-through-airport-security.html/ And now, as a former VP, he's exempt for life from TSA line. SEMANTICS, AND YES I HAVE WORN THEM A FEW TIMES. CRAZY JOE PROBABLY HAS MORE OCCASION TO WEAR THEM THEN I. I would argue this isn't semantics, words mean things: Own: /ōn/ adjective & pronoun 1. used with a possessive to emphasize that someone or something belongs or relates to the person mentioned. "they can't handle their own children" verb 1. have (something) as one's own; possess. "his father owns a restaurant" synonyms: be the owner of, possess, be the (proud) possessor of, have in one's possession, have to one's name, count among one's possessions, have, keep, retain, maintain, hold, be blessed with, enjoy, boast "I own this house" Wear: /wer/ verb 1. have on one's body or a part of one's body as clothing, decoration, protection, or for some other purpose. "he was wearing a dark suit" synonyms: be dressed in, be clothed in, have on, sport; More Congrats on wearing them, I'm too tight to buy the shirt with the cuffs, and would have VERY few occasions to wear. I bet you looked really cool. When I get inducted into the GID Hall of Fame, can you loan me a shirt and your cuff links, it would be epic. THE NEW NORMAL IS TO CALL THEM "ALTERNATIVE FACTS". HE APPEARS TO HAVE DONE HIS JOB AND NOT EXPLOITED IT. SHOCKING, I KNOW. I never said he didn't do his job, he's worked in government for essentially his entire adult life, that's the definition of eating at the public trough. When he campaigns he talks about all that is wrong with the country, for the last 42 years, he's been one of the dudes creating that. He's in Germany right now shoveling that crap. I've never used the term "alternative facts", I'm not sure how you perceive anything I've typed as "alternative facts". You keep bringing up my bias, R's, D's, they're two sides of the same coin. Look I get it, Biden's your guy, my only point in all of this is it really seems odd to me that he's an anomaly when it comes to career politicians and their finances. I had a local rep that did two stints short stints and fared much better financially. He was taken very good care of following the Obamacare vote based on the fact that everyone knew a Yea vote meant the end of his time as District 9 rep.

Any data to back this up, or is this just based on all the football you watch?

I know I’m going to ragret (sic) this! TAKING A TRAIN INSTEAD OF AIR TRAVEL SPUN AS A NEGATIVE. PRETZEL LOGIC. How did I spin anything, he took the train, I offered some possible reasons why. There’s nothing between the lines to read. THIS AVERAGE JOE HAS HIS GRANDPA'S GOLD CUFFLINKS. SHOOTING A SHOTGUN IN THE AIR SEEMS EXACTLY WHAT AN AVERAGE JOE WOULD DO. You might have missed the part where I said “wears”, which means you actually have them physically on their person, or in this case their clothes. Congrats on your inheritance, do you “wear” them? I think they look cool as hell, but since I don’t have any shirts with French cuffs, or cuff links, I’m pretty much out. I’ve never fired a firearm into the air, as Foxy pointed out those projectiles will eventually come down. I’ve never seen it done either. IF YOU'VE GOT THE MONIKER "CRAZY UNCLE JOE", YOU'VE, BY DEFINITION, NOT GOTTEN A PASS. OR MAYBE HE IS JUST STUPID I’m sorry, I got nothing. NO ONE SAID HE WAS BROKE, JUST HASN'T FED AT THE TROUGH. OR MAYBE HE IS JUST STUPID. POOR SPIN ATTEMPT. Busted, I took some creative license, he’s not broke. Hasn’t fed at the public trough? HE WAS A US SENATOR FOR 36 YEARS! FOLLOWED BY EIGHT YEARS AS VP! He has a pretty sweet pension package, I’d say he’s got his face buried in the trough.

I’m sure his contact info is available since he OWNS the paper, why don’t you contact him and ask him?

And he speaks for all conservatives;)

Congress members are typically on the hook for their travel to and from the district to work. Perhaps he's thrifty, I'm sure it's cheaper to take the train. Possibly faster, when you factor in to and from the airport, security, etc., though I'm sure these guys are fast-tracked thru the PITA's that us regular folks have to deal with. I may be in the minority here, but most of the average Joes I know, don't wear gold cuff links and fire shotguns in the air. He is a slick and polished politician, he says some incredibly stupid stuff, and somehow gets a pass on it. Hence the moniker Crazy Uncle Joe. Just seems odd to me, a guy who was in the senate for that long, took multiple stabs at the White House, and the poor guy is broke.....just like the rest of us.

There are six classes....state law!

It's going to be fun to watch. One question, since most people who've spent their basically their entire adult life in Washington as a career politician seem to leave with a fair amount of wealth, why is Joe so poor?

lol, I watch this play out daily on Jim Lucas's FB page. For a no name representative in BFE southern Indiana, Jim certainly garners a LOT of attention, and even bot attacks.

One of the heavyweights has showed up for the weigh in.

Hold it men, he's not bluffing Listen men, he's just crazy enough to do it!

I heard a comment from an FBI agent on this issue. He said it's something that happens on TV, but never happens in reality.

I'm sorry, I don't know names, in no particular order, all impressed me as freshmen last season: Soph at Lawrenceburg Soph at Bloomington North Soph at Gibson Southern

It’s really interesting to me how each game kind of has it’s own identity. Some games I’m able to see a lot of line play, some games I get to see the initial block of the LT, and only see the QB and what’s right in front of him, it’s certainly a different view every game.

How effed up is our world whe Al Sharpton is the voice of reason?
