Re: Season over before it starts
During the anthem have new black recruit police on the field. Tribute to them and all who fight for equal justice and freedom. Something we can all stand up and honor.

Re: Season over before it starts
Now you're giving us a solution to the problem. It's not a demonstration with looting and damaging private businesses....many owners of the same color as the rioters doing most of the damage.

I feel that first group makes up 90% or more of the individuals out on the streets. Maybe seven or eight percent make up that third group. It is the small number in the second group that gives the first group a bad name and enables the third group. |

Re: Season over before it starts
Personally, I believe that this will galvanize the team and our O-line will be playing at it's finest to protect Drew from anyone looking for revenge. If someone does come after Drew he is a marked man.
In rugby if a player is playing dirty and going after a particular player the entire team goes after him and quite often he has to hobble or be carried off the pitch. There is this thing called team loyalty! I have come to the defense of a team mate that I disliked but he was my team mate and that is what mattered at the time. ![]() |

The players, their hostages, like Brees, and the appeasers who should be managing them, have also forgotten that Football comes during beautiful Fall days, when I could be kayaking, fishing, and playing outside. So, social justice, standing up to The Man, whatever. I've lost interest. Have fun. One idea no one else may have had already. This is a great board, with a lot of great people, many I know in real life, including the Late Great Foreverfan. We should stay together, like the old Baltimore Colts Marching Band, which kept marching, even after the Colts left for Indianapolis. I plan to continue to visit the B&G, just to say hi. I dont know whether I will continue to organize gatherings. Im certainly going to miss the TailGating. But the CoronaHoax cut our crawfish party in half. I've made friends, for whom my enjoyment transcends football, so I feel like our Houston group will continue. |

As outspoken as I may seem, I let stuff roll off my back. It is almost impossible to ruffle my feathers. That said, I also enjoy the sport of debate. Not too sporting with a few, but several step up for the game. Y'all each know who you are. Or should. Or are not able. ![]() |

I have a special place in my heart for NWLA fans, as I remember the Persecution getting my Saints games preempted by Cowboys, by a station licensed to Louisiana. I also remember the crap spoken at me by Cowboys fans up there, in the old days. I'll be around.
