Would you have felt the same way had there been an acquittal? I doubt it. The rule of law is not something that depends on the outcome. This is the USA, not some 3rd world tinpot dictatorship. When the law doesn’t go your way, you swallow hard, abide by the result, and move on.

I worked his last high school game: a semistate loss to Sheridan and Nick Zachary. He was fabulous. Zachary was fabulous-er.

Certainly one of the greatest college players of all time. Unique personality, too.

Committed to Notre Dame today.

Just Muda being Muda.

That’s Father Jenkins to you.

My point was simply that continually exposing oneself to a single point of view inevitably leads to confirmation bias, which absolutely prevents real critical thinking. If you really want to do your due diligence to give you the highest probability that you’re on the “right” side of an issue, you have to assess both sides — and not as filtered through your ideological colleagues.

Mastodons are supposed to be extinct. It’s nature’s way.

That’s simply a recognition by the marketing people that women are the primary drivers of consumer spending. So, much of that advertising is targeted at them. I don’t feel “emasculated” by commercials. Do you?

Sorry it doesn’t meet your standards.

It’s a point of view. There are others. People who think there is only one path to happiness/fulfillment are only hurting themselves with their narrow-mindedness.

That’s because you like what he says. It doesn’t matter who is saying it.

Who cares what a kicker says, anyway?

I get your point, and it’s a valid one. But to truly be a “scientific” study, the outcome cannot predetermined. Conclusions go where the data lead them. Calling this “scientific “ gives it more credence than it deserves.

I’m not missing it. I just don’t agree with it. The analysis leading to that point of view is, superficial, as the ridiculous analogies that appear earlier in the thread demonstrate.

🤣😂😅

You’re missing the point. Whether people like it or not, P/Ps are an integral part of the state education system. Ask yourself what would happen if large numbers of P/P students decided to go to public schools instead. It costs $$ to educate each student. Vouchers for a P/P students cost the taxpayers significantly less than educating that student in public schools, not to mention the capital investment avoided. Vouchers for P/P students are a significant savings for the taxpayers compared to the alternative. Then, of course, there’s the “fairness” issue…

That is not exactly accurate. The IHSAA has been found to be a “state actor” in a number of legal decisions. It depends on the issue as to whether the IHSAA is considered an arm of the state, or a private association.

Says who?

Maybe the worst analogy ever … since education is a fundamental right under the Indiana Constitution and, to my knowledge, golf isn’t.

He was a pretty good player at Northern Illinois on any surface. Set several school records and was a multi-year starter. Had a cup of coffee in the NFL, as I recall.

It’s like penalties in a football game. Over time, it all evens out.

Not in the last decade, and I don’t know about the “best QB,” but I saw Warren’s Desmond Tardy put a 300 yd. rushing game on Penn in the 2003 5A championship game. Thought I’d never see a QB performance like that again. And I didn’t … for almost 3 yrs. Then came the 2006 Regional at New Prairie. The absolute worst field conditions I’ve ever seen — and I once lost a shoe in the mud at a college game. Torrents of freezing rain, and then the temperature dropped 20 degrees, creating a bog with frozen ruts. Could barely stand upright on the field, except for one guy. The Norwell QB — a guy named Chandler Harnish — dominated the field that night. I have no idea how many yards rushing he had, or how many TDs, but Norwell won 49-20. How he did it on that field, I’ll never know. We checked his cleats — twice. Never saw anything like it before or since.

I think it was Jefferson who said: “The government you elect is the government you deserve.”

They are a textbook example of the benefits of continuity in the coaching staff.
