Huge upcoming weekend for this one…… Visit should blow him away like all the others.

was recently working out with Carmelo Anthony recently. Carmelo connection working out great thus far.

Right now, either Xavier Johnson or Kopp... But by the end of the year it'll be Tamar Bates...

I don't usually like to brag, but I just found out I've tied for the longest winning streak of all-time in one of my leagues. https://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/115725/recordbook Longest Streak, All Time Indykev, Season 2021 KoB2011, Season 2021 Btownqb, Season 2021 Seeking6, Season 2021 mrflynn03, Season 2021 5fouls, Season 2021 1

Stuff like this is why a very large portion of the world doesn't trust anything governments tell them. Do as we say, not as we do. Videos and pics of this sort of thing everyday. It's hard to blindly follow, when the leaders only play by the rules when the camera is rolling.

I don't want to speak for @Reacher but most of the stuff I've read him contribute concludes that there is not a one size fits all solution to this. Vaccines might be the Army but we are going to need support from other areas too. Many people can not be vaccinated due to health issues. Many simply believe that having had COVID already means their immune system did it's job and they don't need a vaccine. Many people worry about long term implications and side effects of the vaccine. Many are yes...anti-vaxxers in general or anti-govt. I may not understand or agree with every side of the arguement but I respect them all as equally important citizens of our society and that we should try to reach people where they are. Instead of forcing them to come to my side is to go meet them where they are at and find a solution that works for them. To do this it may take time and it may take coming up with solutions that work for them that they are comfortable with. Theraputics can be just that. While I think this board has been pretty eager to support all the ways to fight the virus I don't think all of them get equal treatment and equal promotion in the media and with our govt. How many times have they talked about antibody treatments or Ivermectin or any of the positive results even if they aren't a cure. How many times do they come out and talk about ways to improve your immune system. Vitamin D, Zinc, and immune boosting foods and vitamins. About losing weight and lowering risk factors like not smoking or vaping and healthy diet and exercise. I took it serious the first time I heard that overweight people were having a harder time with this. I immediately changed my diet. I've lost almost 35 lbs and dropped 2 pant sizes. Finally dropped below 200lbs and still working at it. It was a wake up call that I needed. I might have carried 6'2 and 235 ok but I knew with things I'd talked to my doctor if I wasn't carrying the extra weight I could really improve my health stats and when I go back to my check up I really think he will take me off my blood pressure medication possibly. I think the point is...we need to keep looking for answers...and we need to help as many people in as many forms as possible. We can start at vaccines...but that doesn't mean the conversation has to end there. I see no harm in providing helpful info that will help people no matter where they fall on this spectrum. Oh and as far as that slide goes...I'd question the 5X infection. I'd say there is pretty good evidence to make a conclusion that since vaccinated people aren't as likely to get seriously ill they probably are much much less likely to get tested and go unreported. Considering the case counts after having over 65% of the country vaccinated is this high....tells me there are tons of vaccinated people spreading it as well. Just more likely assymptomatically.

🙋‍♂️ I could've gone without the visual.

Just chose Wisconsin. Pretty cool to see a kid from my small hometown school be able to go to the Big Ten. Happy for him and his family. Really good shooter.

Thanks and well said. Agree completely. And congrats on the weight loss !

If I see relevant information, I like to bring it here and pass it along. Does not necessarily mean I believe it- or support it. Some people might find it interesting and or beneficial. I know I have found stuff from far right and far left outlets. In general, I favor vaccines for those 30+ and or in at risk groups (more the UK model than the Israel model), believe in transparency and more choices are better, along with keeping mandates to a minimum. It is undeniable vaccines have minimized the severity and deaths. I hope they keep improving. I believe natural antibodies are superior to the vaccine and believe they should count (looks the CDC is finally recognizing this) in the US as much as they do in the rest of the world. I like to post things that are perhaps new and or on the fringe as they bring more discussion. Some have proved prophetic- and others plain wrong!

I'll have to do a lot more reading about that. I have heard other places report that vaccinated had as high or higher load levels but didn't see this extreme. If that is the case then maybe vaccine passports are good. It is keeping the "unclean" vaccinated people from the "clean" unvaccinated. Just the opposite as thought. lol j/k I know I know I shouldn't make such jokes but man this is the problem....so much conflicting information is out there. Basically creating analysis paralysis almost for some people...and thus they are just playing the wait and see game. I don't think any of that is good. I'm not saying there is one arbiter of truth either. I don't want a Truth Ministry set up by the govt either but man we have such horrible messaging going on it's no wonder we've had so many mis-steps along the way. Our leaders at the top under both administrations did a poor job handling this...and especially from the govt agency's like the CDC who seem to change their opinions and their guidelines based on political pressure.

Ivermectin is not an unproven or dangerous drug. It's been in use to treat a number of viral infections for over forty years with very minimal side effects. The guy who discovered it received the Nobel award for it. What I would like to see, based on what I have learned, is a proper srudy done to determine it's effectiveness. That we seem unwilling to do that causes me to question motivations. I'm not anti vaccine. I am pro alternatives, but the powers that be don't seem interested in looking for any. Also important to note is that Imervectin is off patent, so there is not a lot of money to be made from producing it. Bret Weinstein's Darkhorse podcast #80 talks at length about it starting at about the 28:20 minute mark.

I think he will... When I see something like this list, and being it's Inside the Hall, I sometimes think they want so badly to give the appearance of objectivity, they lean away from picking IU players...

It's funny to me that there is such resistance to a proven, wildly successful vaccine but we seem really eager to try unproven, wildly off-label, sometimes proven dangerous methods instead.

IU slated to were the red Adidas throwbacks on Saturday. Man, those uni's were fun to watch when Anthony Thompson wore them........ Human FREIGHT TRAIN!!!!

The AL East is without a doubt, the toughest league in baseball this year! There is now a 3-way tie for the wild card with NY, Boston and Toronto! Boston got a win last night when Sawks, Kyle Schwarber (remember him?), hit a bases clearing double for Boston's win against the Mariners. Strap yourself in, it could be a wild ride!!!

From Wednesday Cincinnati Enquirer... Fickell quote..."Look, I don't talk to anybody. I barely talk to my own family during the season. So I wouldn't ever talk about it, nor would I even answer a phone call or anything like that. I know nothing, nor does it make me have any interest." Classic coach response. 😁

And this graphic attempts to convince us that the mms is dead center.

Sounds like the problem started with the introduction of a flag that didn't belong in a science classroom. I guess my frustration comes from my experience that you'll have less bullying and bad behavior if you don't make a big deal of being different. Prior to the introduction of that flag, were students taught to bully others who are different than them? Were they told such behavior was acceptable? Kids will make fun of any difference. When I was young, I was ridiculed for wearing glasses. It happens and I didn't make a big deal over it. Not getting a big reaction from me, the kids ridiculing my specs eventually moved on to other targets. The adults in any school situation should make it clear that bullying is unacceptable. The idea that we accept all people, regardless of their differences should be understood and reinforced as needed. There should be no need to display a flag that says we accept all people and when it is introduced, it feels to many like the promotion and celebration of certain differences, which then draws attention to those differences and creates the potential for bullying when it may not have otherwise happened. Most people have heard the advice about not waving a red flag in front of a bull or not running from a bear. I don't see this decision any differently. Be gay, be bisexual...be whatever. I don't see the wisdom in making a big deal of it unless you are looking to attract attention. Unfortunately, that attention will not always be positive. The vast, vast majority of LGBTQ people I know don't fly a rainbow flag or dress in a manner that makes it obvious what their sexual orientation is. They are satisfied to live in a society that accepts their right to choose how they live their lives without the "look at me" stuff. My opinion...this teacher made a well-intentioned, if ill-advised decision introduce a red flag in front of the bull. Surprise, surprise...it didn't end well. I'm not faulting her for being compassionate, but I do question her judgment in this situation. It happens. I've been guilty of bad judgment calls many times. Learn and move on.

After listening to a lot of post games with David Bell I realize that a corpse has more of a pulse and more personality. I don't think he could motivate a hooker to bed.

Then stick to science...we lag behind in that subject anyway (24th in the world) One of the things that inhibits learning are distractions. Look, you can make a difference by treating each student equally and with respect. That's the way we should treat each other anyway, regardless of sexual orientation, skin color, politics, or religion. Respect each other's beliefs even if they conflict with your own. Kids bully for many reasons. I was always the youngest in my class, so I fielded my share. If you fight back, they stop... When you inject anything controversial into the classroom, your distracting from the job at hand, and giving kids a reason for conflict.

As teachers it is your job to educate and if teachers are not allowed to share their religious beliefs why would they be allowed to display their sexuality. Would it be OK as a straight white Christian male to put a flag saying any of the following. Proud supporter of Christ Proud to white Straight and Proud of it. Proud to be a MAN all of those would be blasted with an ist or ism. As a teacher be there for the kids and educate them help them to be the best them that they can be. Not a teachers job to influence certain things. Just like politics, I taught government for years and I can guarantee not 1 student would know my political stance

Does the school allow teachers to post the 10 Commandments or the Lords Prayer?

Landing a #2 kid in that class.. will bring some serious attention to the program.. all the kids in the top 30 know each other very well.. land a kid like this.. others will follow! Especially if we are winning again on a national stage before they start their college careers!

I heard today that Fickell has 6 kids and that his son just committed to UC to play for his dad. I could see family winning out for sure, all things being equal. On the other hand, Rick Neuheisel, who I really respect, called USC on e of the top 5 college coaching jobs in the country. Any coach, including Fickell, would be crazy for not at least listening

Corner of 17th and Jordan? There used to be a bell tower there.

Last year I started 0-3 got hot.made the playoff got to championship game was a 98 % chance to win. Needed 2 pts from a WR on Monday night football and lost. After Hill and Kamara went off no way could I lose but I did.

With UC going to the big 12 that might be enough to keep him at UC

I had the same thing last year happen to me in one of my biggest leagues. Led the league in points and didn’t even make the playoffs. To make it even better my team scored 230 points in the week of the championship of the league, lol.

On Bozich podcast he had picked IU 7th on the conference.

HSN is not the void! I don't know how you can say this vaccine is so proven and successful less than 12 months in- or that Ivermectin is not proven as it has been around much longer than the vaccine and, it could be argued, that it has a better safety record. Million are being given it, and other drugs, around the world. So there is not years of study as it relates to COVID, but that is same with every option right now. Perhaps some of the problems are for people taking it on their own and not at a recommended dose? If people were truly dying from it in large numbers, I'd imagine we would hear about that - in addition to to the millions that have benefitted from it. I think it is a mistake to bury our heads in the sand and not learn from what other countries are doing well, and poor, with. We do know that there are complications and deaths (albeit minimal) from the vaccines so it is not risk free. Turning around your statement, It's funny to me that there is such resistance to a proven, wildly successful therapeutic. I think it way too premature to say "It is dangerous and unproven for treating COVID, especially when compared to the vaccine." I don't see people arguing against the vaccines for therapeutics. Like @tdhoosier just said above, I think it is common sense that BOTH have a role. Yet some people, for whatever reason, want to censor and or diminish certain talk. I don't get that. That is the contrary to the essence of science. Try different methods and report honest results. Then people can accurately decide whether the Pfizer, Moderna, or other vaccine is best for them- or maybe not to get a vaccine. I recently read this- The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated. While moderating the symptoms of infection, the jab allows vaccinated individuals to carry unusually high viral loads without becoming ill at first, potentially transforming them into presymptomatic superspreaders. This phenomenon may be the source of the shocking post-vaccination surges in heavily vaccinated populations globally. https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=3897733 To early, IMO, to tell how accurate this is but would be rather scary if true!

If I was running a team I would at least kick the tires. I'm not a big fan of his game and chances are that Wall isn't going to be the missing piece or the answer, but for an organization that manages their cap and assets well, his contract could be a really enticing tradable asset next summer. A lot would depend on what Houston wants in return. I'm not giving up anything of real value, so making the numbers work in what you send back to Houston could make it really difficult to do a deal. For the Celtics, I believe they still have some trade exceptions, so that could help.

That is a bit odd to me as well. Are some holding the possible short/long term side effects and effectiveness of vaccines to the same standard as other therapeutics, many in the infancy of their research and many with no proven efficacy in either direction? Heck, are some even holding the vaccines to the same standard as the crappy food they're eating? I'm just saying, if somebody is stuffing their face with Doritos and Coke a Cola, please don't lecture me about the possible long term side effects of an mRNA vaccine that's been studied for 30+ plus years when you put additives and sugar in your body on a daily basis, to which we know is 100% unhealthy and linked to all sorts of diseases. I'm also unclear to a narrative I see on this forum about therapeutics vs. vaccines. Why does it have to be one or the other? Let's do both! We can walk and chew gum at the same time. In fact, we already are: https://www.fda.gov/drugs/coronavirus-covid-19-drugs/coronavirus-treatment-acceleration-program-ctap Just because you're pro-vaccine and encourage others to take it, does not mean you are anti-therapeutics. I'm all for researching therapeutics. If we actually find an effective therapeutic for COVID (a virus) that is as successful at keeping people out of the hospital than the current COVID vaccines, I think that would be a game changer. Not just for COVID, but possibly for other viruses like the common cold, the seasonal flu, AIDS, etc. That said, I just don't think we need to sit around and hold our breath (aka not protect ourselves) for a successfully proven therapeutic to be discovered, researched and then developed when we have a wildly successful vaccine that is free, right now.

This is just my local news - being admitted to the poison center of the hospital for ivermectin. It is dangerous and unproven for treating COVID, especially when compared to the vaccine. My larger question: why are folks so willing to trust things that are, on a comparative scale, significantly less proven to work than a simple vaccine? This has all just turned into a political punching bag, regrettably. I'm not trying to convince anyone of anything, I'm just a guy talking into the void.

I was thinking the same thing. As soon as I saw Max Christie at 23 I knew Bates wouldn't be making the ITH list. Scoop sure has a high ceiling though. Finger's crossed that he reaches it.

Maybe tonight the Reds will get their heads out of their collective asses.

Yeah...like he's not going to listen to what USC might have to offer versus UC. Btw, Brian Kelly says "hi". 😂

Yeah...I have Mike Williams...he is in a contract year. He will get tons of looks opposite Allen....especially redzone. I think until the Washington thing figures itself out you gotta play it safe and go with who you trust to produce...even if they aren't the better player...they are in a better situation.

I brought up earlier about him having a mid-life crisis perhaps. But it definitely sounds like he has major relationship problems with his girlfriends, immediate family, and his employer. Not that I am a Packer fan in the least, but I hate when sports legends lives spiral out of control. And to this independent observer, that is how it appears.

Gibson is the only one I have. But, yeah, I looked harder at all the Washington guys before the draft because of Fitz. That said, I was happy to see Gibson getting some of the targets that McKissic was getting last year. But, Fitz's absence downgrades the Washington offense overall.

Rodgers must be mentally unstable. The reports of his family tiffs, the constant drama around all his girlfriends. Now he's suddenly engaged to a much younger actress gal. Its exhausting to watch, can't imagine living that life. No wonder he looks like shyte. He has brought it upon himself. He got on field redemption last year, looks like he may still need off field redemption.

Yeah they know that Indiana no matter if at home or on the road will bring in ratings. If Coach Woodson gets the Hoosiers back on track like expected, watch out the ratings will go through the roof. 👍

Have you seen pictures of him? He looks terrible... Maybe dating other divas is more taxing than we think...

Friend, and co-worker who is a BYU alum..."Won the Holy War game, and the Big 12 news. Great week for Cougars' fans, and probably in that order."

My mistake. Thanks. It was 81! Not sure why I thought it was 79. I always ripped open my day to day cards right away but my Mom had a knack for seeing value down the road. Always saved some boxes, cards,etc....for future value. My only question now is if I do open the baseball cards do I eat the gum?
