Wow, all I can say after reading that is, Aaron Rodgers is really, really stupid.

Best part of the article:

"Goel’s scheme was uncovered in an in-depth investigation by reporter Allie Conti in 2019, who detangled the plot after being double-booked at one of his properties in Chicago and receiving a suspicious last-minute cancellation. Conti was contacted by the FBI days after the article was published."

I wish there was more of this. Good investigative journalism has been one of the most powerful weapons in justice, and I fear it's diminishing rapidly.

 

Rap-meets-Tarantino in the fastest rap of the year.

Most teams don't even hire qualified male GMs, the number of General Managers in the NFL who are either related to the owner, or the son of a former GM/team executive is extremely high.

Definitely not disagreeing with the article that there are women qualified to do the job, but many NFL teams can't even shed the nepotism bias. That's why most teams don't win.

There are, and have been, but Republicans constantly work to repeal them, calling it 'deregulation'.

Businesses would sell you cyanide and call it a weight-loss miracle cure if the laws didn't prevent it.

This series is so good, there have been some absolutely amazing performances in the past. I was glad when they announced it was coming back.

You really shouldn't answer questions you clearly don't know the answer to. There a dozens of ways for apps to report your license status. Most people just don't know about it.

You can look at a MS Word doc someone sends you and detect the license. Apps can phone home all the time to report your status. Just because you've never noticed ot or no one ever caught you doesn't mean there's 'no way'.

I honestly am baffled when people take time to type this type of crap out and post it. You clearly do not know, but you posted it anyway AS IF IT WAS FACT, despite it being provably false.

On top of giving poor recommendations. Nobody who uses Photoshop and GIMP professionally would think GIMP is a suitable replacement for Photoshop.

 

Chicago-born rapper G Herbo is learning firsthand that the adage “mo’ money, mo problems” is more than just a Biggie song. According to recently obtained court documents by AllHipHop, Herbo (born Herbert Wright) is in the middle of suing his ex-manager Joseph “JB” Bowden and his company, Machine Entertainment, for $40 million dollars claiming he was financially manipulated and taken advantage of with “unfair and one-sided deals” after signing as a minor.

I'm with you - a few times early in this season I looked into it, but I have to pay MORE to just buy the NFL and I don't need YouTube TV so I said fuck it, I'm not paying $400 bucks just to watch 3 or 4 out of market games a year.

So basically YouTube is trying the old 'just buy our whole service for less'...but I don't want your whole service and I'm not going to buy it unless I want it.

I just want to watch a few out of market NFL games a year, and neither Google or the NFL will take my money.

I'd gladly pay for an out of market game once in a while. It's stupid business not to take customer's money just because you're trying to wedge your overall business into our lives.

 

There's no doubt the first connection most listeners will make with Naomi Sharon is harkening to the soulful nuances of Sade.

I've never been able to figure out if Wheeler Walker Jr is performing a character or if everything about him and his music is just the way he is...but I guess that just means he's damn good at being Wheeler Walker Jr and it doesn't matter.

I don't know if he's ever been able to tour the US, but if he does, I hope to catch him.

So many teams think they can fix their offensive line problems with a new QB. No idea if Wilson is the answer or not, you can't tell behind that line.

Last year the Panthers rolled though four different QBs behind an offensive line that barely gave them 1.8 sec in the pocket. Yet, everybody thinks a different QB will solve the problem.

The Panthers solution was to trade away their QBs, Christian McCaffrey and their best WR just to sign a rookie QB and Andy Dalton. No o line improvements.
