In one of Jon Stewart's legendary conversations with Bill O'Reilly, he broke this down well. Basically, he said that of course his worldview (and the worldviews of people in journalism) will effect the way they see things. But there's a distinction between that and ideological or 'activist' news entertainment. They're different categories alltogether, which is why even if NPR is left leaning (because journalists are left-leaning folks generally) it's nowhere in the ballpark of Fox News/Breitbart/Jezebel/Young Turks.

He was a 3* in high school, aka 5 years ago. Now he's a two-time 2nd team All-Big 12 player at a position we need playmakers at. Bringing up the stars of a player out of high school when they've been playing at a higher level for years is hilariously stupid. Imagine if the Seahawks didn't want Richard Sherman in 2011 because he was a 2 star recruit in 2005

And by the way the rule is written, runningbacks commit targeting violations more than defensive backs do. But we all know the real reason the rule is there, and we all know that it will be enforced one way and ignored the other.

Something tells me that Florida's sex conversations bill isn't going to apply to references to cisgendered or heterosexual examples. Just a hunch.

Nice timing on John Oliver's trucking bit:

I wonder if Jim Crow laws literally said things like, "Disenfranchise racial minority voters with extremely hard literacy tests"? If they didn't, I wonder how many clowns in the early 1900's defended them because they didn't literally spell out their intended effects in practice.

Today I learned that twitter determines if newspapers can report on stories.

But it still exists. And even raises money for chairity every year.

Oh you made it very, very, abundantly, unnecesssarily clear, and people rightfully mocked your position on it.

Be that as it may, our staff made plenty of mistakes, and moral ones at that, in that quest to help that were even very apparent at the time.

Definitely don't need 50% of that.

@Hooked on Huskers do you have like a google alert setup every time there's a context where you can share this image? Can't believe you didn't share the other one with the connected second deck.

It's already sucked for us for a long time. This is beyond suckage.

Make up your mind. Did he refer to him as a white supremacist, or did he insinuate that he was a white supremacist? Those aren't the same.

I would like an apology for Biden not canceling my student loan debt doubt I'll get it What does Rittenhouse want an apology for that he deserves acknowledgment from Biden on?

You nailed it! I'm sure Scott, who has played under or coached with Bill Walsh, Tom Osborne, Bill Parcells, Bill Belicheck, Tony Dungey, Mike Tomlin, Jon Gruden and Coach Kelly, has forgotten how to practice in such a way as to make an offense run well.

This was the same game where Suh got flagged for a personal foul for "slamming the quarterback into the ground". Didn't illegally tackle, just....tackled too hard.

It's not just nostalgia. It's actual history, and character and tradition and a space that makes up and means a lot more than just the concrete and metal. I think of it similarly to how neighborhoods can go through aggressive gentrification and/or urban modernizing; lots of fancy things, but eventually part of the spirit and soul of a place gets sucked out.

re: the bold, I think Twitter has done a horrendous job being inconsistent with their enforcement and lackthereof of their terms and conditions, and I think there's a massive conversation/reckoning about how badly social media companies operate and how bad their platforms are for us. But the 'town square' argument is just an incredibly weak and lazy one. The town square still exists, and you've got every right and opportunity there that you ever have. If you have to make it an analogy Twitter is closer to the modern day newspaper stand, aggregating/amplifying entertainment and news channels which... those have always been privately owned too.

Facebook, Instagram, youtube, Tik Tok, Telegram, Marco Polo, Snapchat, Pinterest, Reddit, Quora, individual messageboards of which there are hundreds of thousands... Plenty of "town square" options available. Hell, your actual town square is also available! But as far as I know millions of people from all across the world don't congregate in your town square and never did, so the sanctimonious whining is very much based off a strawman idea.

Twitter is not the public town square lol. It's not even close.

If all of the speculation is true I really hope people don't demonize the kid. Football is extremely valuable for a lot of things, but it's not and shouldn't be an all encompassing weight and identity in life (at least outside of a season), and if Betts has already figured out what's most important to him then that should be nothing other than celebrated. I don't know the kid or the situation and all its details, but it takes a lot of wisdom to know that something demanding more than you need or want to give isn't worth it for you.

I mean have you seen his face? Looks like factual garbage to me.

That's what I'm saying. The estimated room & board cost at UNL for 2021-22 is $11,920. If players live off campus, they get a check cut for $11,920 or something close to it because that's part of their scholarship. They're then free to spend that on whatever they want and if they get 4-5 people in a house to make rent cheap, that's a whole lot of free money left over.
