Monday week ago at Saturday's down south. Any fair minded person will see it as a rebuttal of Trump and his SOB Statement; standing Nick Standing with Pete Carroll and the Heismann's Derrick Henry and Mariota.

I'm waitin on SEC Commish Greg Sankey and then Katy bar the Door, it's a whole new neighborhood.

Meanwhile Sandy and Thornton should prayerfully consider my blog on the Bama Senate which like LBJ's granny's nightshirt "covers everything!"

NFL folds...money talks in this league.

In what way has Kaepernick been forcing his witness on everybody else? I thought they were all choosing their own methods of protest.

NFL owners aren't dumb. They can see that this will diminish their core constituency and are taking steps to minimize it. It's not a coincidence that trump has raised the issue of public subsidies. Money talks.

Interesting article: . If K actually said this, he's a bit of a hypocrite, but who cares anyway? The current fad of disrespecting the flag is strictly a racial matter now, notwithstanding whatever K actually thought he was doing. He never used a poster to announce his efforts, just sat during the anthem, etc., and later said it was a stand against police brutality or something like that. Most fans probably don't give a fig about all the brouhaha this has created and figure a bunch of millionaires taking a knee for three minutes and then bashing each other for that three hours of fame every week means little more than how to make more money and constantly collect those gobs of greenbacks. What could be better than doing an in-your-face to the country at every opportunity? The disrespect actually points to the greatness of a nation that makes it possible to collect $4 million per year (avg. NFL wage) and diss the people who watch all at the same time.

How many of you have listened attentively to this calm, "not angry" speech by the Black, Conservative, Republican, Evangelical Christian Senator from South Carolina, which he made to the Senate in the aftermath of last year's church shooting incident in his part of the country?



I think those of us who are white (which is everybody I can think of on this supposedly Baptist-friendly forum) really need to hear this message, we really need to understand the vast difference between our experience of being pulled over by the cops and that of our compatriots whose main difference from us is that they are Black and we are White. And I really don't think many of us have heard, and digested, that fact.

Which travesty? And what are the first TWO speeches?

Ed: Sandy where are you getting your ticket price info? Yea I know there are Scalpers yet the majority of fans in the stands paid far less than your claim. The price of tickets for that game ranged from $48.00 to $96.00 as of yesterday, from an on line re-seller.

I can only think of four or five times in my life that I have been pulled over by a cop; one led to a ticket, and one led to a trip to jail (my second of three) but the jail visit was not related to my driving. I still don't get what Ed it driving at with the quizzing about speeches by Tim Scott other than the only one I've actually seen. And I don't get what the bit about the tickets and frequency of traffic stops is about. Ed? (I'm posting this way because doing it from the original involves more embedded quotes than the software can take.)

Face value for UGA tickets is $50 or so. Season ticket holders of premium seats pay a chunk, a donation, to the athletic association. For most games you can pick up a ticket on the street for below FV but not for premium games. I haven't paid for a ticket for years (might attend a couple of games a year) because of friends, sometimes HS coaches who often get free tickets, etc. Truth is, I'd rather sit at home and watch on TV these days.

Big money in college football.
