  1. Chew on this one awhile: He was a starting QB on a Super Bowl champ when he was 23 years old. And he threw more TD passes after turning 40 than he did before turning 30.

    I believe the IFOA has a service in the members section of their website for people looking for crews or crew members. You are a member of the IFOA, right? www.IFOA.us You might also try the Facebook page of the IHSAA Football Officials.
  3. How long before we reach the point when it is just important to recruit the transfer portal as it is to recruit high schoolers?

    Ask any of the ‘85 Bears who the best player on their defense was, the guy who really made it go. There were multiple Hall of Famers on that defense, but on this question there is unanimity.
  5. As an unabashed Brady fan, the most amazing thing to me is that he has played the position at the very highest level, even as the position has evolved dramatically over time. Playing QB in the NFL in 2021 is nothing like playing the position in 2000. Yet, he was able to evolve and maintain over that dramatic change in the skill set needed to play at that level.
  6. That is true, as far as it goes. But keep in mind that all power ultimately flows from the people. And the legitimacy of the Court flows from the belief by the people that the Court is an unbiased interpreter of the law. To the extent the people view the Court - and thus, it’s rulings — as being fair and unbiased, they have legitimacy. It is easier to believe objectivity and lack of bias when the Court is constructed so that diverse viewpoints are brought to bear on the issues. Diversity in race, culture, political viewpoints, background, etc., on the Court is a valuable thing, and a perfectly appropriate factor to take into account when choosing a Justice.

    This is just the sort of thing that might inspire Aaron Rodgers to stay in the Division.

    That’s why I don’t think it was Poles’ call, ultimately. This has all the earmarks of the George & Ted Show. Prove me wrong. 😂

    Sort of makes you wonder who actually made this call, eh? Bears = SSDD
  11. The subject of the transformation in the public perception of organized labor over the years is fascinating. They’ve gone from protector of the common man, to thumb on the scales of the economy, to banker for organized crime, to now - largely political entities more interested in influencing national policy and national elections than their original role of providing an economic check on corporate disregard for anything but the bottom line.
  12. Brian was also one of the founders, and the first President of the Indiana Football Officials Association, which now numbers well over 700 members.
  13. Ryan Poles, who worked for years in player personnel with the Chiefs, is the Bears new GM. https://www.si.com/nfl/bears/news/bears-reportedly-hire-ryan-poles-as-gm
  14. I’m not sure who this moves says more about, the Plymouth program, the Glenn program, or Coach Barron.
  15. Well, I just find that fascinating.
  16. No one knows what the enigmatic Mr. Rodgers is going to do now. All I can say is it’s a lot easier for him to leave after they got knocked out in their first playoff game than it would be if they had won the Super Bowl.
  17. Now TB 12 just has to take care of his business. It’s setting up nicely for him. Did Rogers’ MVP candidacy just take a hit?
  18. Found this from last year. Hoping for a repeat in a couple of weeks.
  19. Bat Out of Hell is one of the greatest - and most popular - rock albums of all time. The story doesn’t mention a great movie he was in: Formula 51. I highly recommend it. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0227984/
