  1. Very scary because some people believe him....
  2. Instead of talking about Global Warming and a clean energy plan at the RNC while wild fires rage in California and parts of Texas and Louisiana are wiped out by hurricanes, they chose to not mention it. Like it's not happening. Like Covid19. Things of the past. The long term costs for sitting on our ass will be staggering. What we are experiencing now is simply a small taste of the future.\ Are these people unconscious? Are they in a state of deep denial? They have to be. Otherwise they are evil and I don't believe that. Fact: They way that you, I and all Americans have lived is a thing of the past. It's over. Like it or not the physical reality on Earth has changed for all forms of life......for good. More severe and frequent Hurricanes, floods, wild fires, water shortages, food shortages, riots in general, migrations, more pandemics....in an ever faster and accelerated time frame.....are the new norm.
  3. Please pen up your ER Code books so we can decode this message from Trump: "Your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding Americans, or whether we give free rein to violent anarchists, agitators and criminals who threaten our citizens," Trump warned. "And this election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life, or whether we allow a radical movement to completely dismantle and destroy it." If you use the codes on p. 73..... you'll discover what he really is saying.... "Your vote will decide whether we protect law abiding Americans, or whether we give free rein to me." Trump warned. "And this election will decide whether we will defend the American way of life, or whether we allow my radical movement of megalomania and dictatorship to completely dismantle and destroy it."
  4. From Business Insider............ it's a very clear, sane and rational perception on what is actually the truth.
  5. I'm not happy about having to vote for Biden but at least he had experts, congressman, ex-Presidents....credible public officials testifying for him and on the issues. Trump's RNC Puppet show, designed to spin a fantasy reality, designed to twist the truth, could only find a nurse to speak on behalf of what a great job he is doing vs the virus. one, single nurse! And some Americans are buying it!
  6. Character and chemistry is more important than CAP. The Ravens are building a possible Super Bowl team. It's a long season and the last thing they need is a cancer and distraction on this team. They are still loaded on defense and will survive without Earl. I wonder if Earl's wife will pull a gun on him for this?
  7. Or how about this!.... He doesn't know much about the movement!? He's the President! He said the same thing about White Supremacists.....he doesn't know much about them. How could he not know about them? It's his job to be well informed about groups like this.
  8. Me too. It's beyond my understanding. Everyday there is something surrounding Trump that points to a lack of moral character and principles. Today, from the front page on USA Today for example... Here's the list.... How does America look the other way and pass this off as "no big deal?"
  9. And it's a good beginning. Michelle Obama and Sanders really hit the mark. Please rad their words. I've been reading all that I can find and I'm feeling some hope. Some hope, that the consciousness of Americans can be raised. That citizens will wake up and "Take Back Our Flag" before it's too late. We are witnessing the story of "The Kings New Clothes" unfolding right before our eyes. Will Americans, who see him as lavishly dressed as he sees himself and wants us to see him, wake up and see the real Trump "as naked as the day that he was born?" Democracy is at stake. Our children's future is at stake. Beyond Covid 19, beyond the economy, beyond Black Lives Matter, beyond hate and racism, the Endgame of Global Warming looms over all life. This is the biggest crisis in American history that I am aware of and it's present...right here an now. Like you, I wish these were happier times too. Somehow this seems fitting: “I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
  10. It means, as usual, they will have to let good players go. It won't hurt as much if the season completes this year and they win the Super Bowl.
  11. OK...then he's chiseled like me..... "He'll be fine."
  12. Here's a shorter article saying the same thing...
  13. This is a very good read....https://www.vox.com/energy-and-environment/2020/7/7/21311027/covid-19-climate-change-global-warming-shifting-baselines Scary too. I have been wondering if Covid19 has sidetracked the focus away from global warming (which many are not concerned about...no big deal....we got time..). The 2 are connected in my opinion. With the virus threatening and changing our lives in a major way, will we shift our attention too far to Covid and away from what will end all life? This article is about how we are not aware of what Normal in our natural environment is. When the first settlers came to Maryland, they saw herds of wild turkeys, a Chesapeake Bay loaded to the brim with fish, total abundance. And if you were Tarzan at that time then you could swing from tree to tree completely across the State. Now, the odds of him being able dodge getting shot in Baltimore, swim across the Inner Harbor and run across 695 are not favorable. I digress. It's a good article.
  14. He says it hasn't slowed him down but he's not as fast as he was in college....
  15. 23 pounds! That will have to slow him down some even with his foot being 100%.

    It Begins

    And Pierce opted out for very good reasons....glad the Ravens didn't spend the big money on them.
  17. Somehow I think we suspected this. This needs to be on a huge bulletin board across from City Hall. All attempts to stop this or get the homicides to drop have been futile.
  18. It might work. Now, we need all Marylander's....everybody in the U.S. to finally get the message to wear masks, social distance and follow all safe practices. If they do, then we might have a season...not to mention all the lives that can be spared. Right now we're circling the toilet bowl. Let's see how baseball works out. No fans in the stands....can they make it competitive and interesting? They might. No preseason games. It's going to be a wild opening day. A lot of teams are going to get punched in the mouth out of the gate because they did not have time to field a team that can execute on both sides of the ball.
  19. Football! For the moment.....
  20. This is all that I could find....

    Coronavirus

    Numbers are rising back up in Maryland....

    Coronavirus

    Hey! Are you on some kind of ER camping trip that I wasn't told about?! look out!
  23. vmax

    Coronavirus

    Oh! So you had to join them?
  24. If the virus is strong in the fall coupled with flu season then I won't go to any games..........and yes....I doubt there will be a season. Yet Pro Football is not under the same constraints as colleges are as far as protecting students. Student safety vs grown men going for big money is 2 different worlds. Greed vs common sense. Who wins?
  25. If a team drafts well, then they get penalized. They develop these players, invest in them only to have other teams over pay for them when contract time comes. If they want to keep a player like Mahomes, then they have to hamstring their roster with low tier affordable players.
