2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft

As teenagers, We used to drive across the border from Kansas to buy real 5.0 beer instead of 3.2.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Yeah. I had a blowout and no spare near the Truman complex on the 4th of July as a… let’s just say 21 year old on a beer run. lol even the cops wouldn’t stop to help. Had to walk a couple miles to find a working pay phone (before everyone had a phone in their pocket). Was interesting- only one person told me I was going to get shot while walking down prospect, the others just scurried away to avoid stray bullets. lol not the best neighborhood. But we did make it back with some very warm beer after a 5 hour detour.

It’s a common occurrence in the MSM. Headline of guess what so and so just did/said. Article says this is outrageous in 2o24. I read the article, watch the clip, figure out the context, read the speech/listen to it and think this is what you pick on somebody for?
This is the Harrison Butker situation. Some media talking head calls him anti-woman. Many many woman speak up in support of what he says. Then you read the comments on social media. Like almost zero comments supporting the MSM outrage. A couple I grant you. Free speech people are outraged by his free speech. Fans glorify the beer guzzling Kelce brothers (I acknowledge not the biggest outrage), or tolerate their hero’s who have arrests/lawsuits/numerous lawbrushes etc etc. Athletes spawning children with multiple mothers.
Meanwhile Butker describes my upbringing, my wifes, my own childrens and the media goes nuts. What a dinosaur they say. Yet said dinosaur raises children safe and comfortable knowing parents love them and support them. They’ll be fed, provided for and with a greater outlook on life than the standard the MSM consistently touts. Marry and stay married means staying out of poverty 95% of the time the statistics say. But What a horrible person some say. He’s so bad that he should be fired from playing football which is just the stupidest take of all time in a world of stupid takes.
If I stepped on toes I sort of apologize but people with my views are prevented from sharing them for fear of the reprisals, even loss of jobs if you say the wrong thing. I’m glad Harrison exercised his free speech rights and shame on those who don’t recognize it.

@wissox You have the right to free speach….as long as it’s what I want to hear.
folks these days
-
@wissox Just remember that what you are seeing on social media is what the algorithm feeds you. It’s selective and personalized. (I don’t see what you see, and you don’t see what I see.)
Content is delivered based on how likely they think it will get you to engage (either strong reinforcement or provocative dissonance.)
-
@bskeet Interesting. My social media is mainly twitter and Facebook for things like this and you’re saying it’s giving me the responses I want to see? I’m not surprised.

(Before i read the full speech, i was angrily outraged at Butler. After i read the full speech, i was outraged, but less so).
They definitely did some doctoring on his quotes after you watch the full speech. In which should be illegal IMO for spreading false narratives from what is supposed to be trusted news sources. Either put what he said entirely or don’t put anything at all is the way I look at it.
-
@kjayhawks I found the full speech was really pretty standard for the very conservative branch of Catholicism, though. Interesting that he was so angry about clergy nowadays being so close to their parishioners instead of being more removed both physically and spiritually. I had a friend at KU who was part of a movement to get rid of Vatican II, and he explained those issues to Unitarian me.
Butker definitely would not like the modern Episcopal approach.
-
I was offended! I can’t imagine sitting at my graduation, having loans, especially the cost now, and listening to him say life starts when I get married and have children. What are the diabolical lies we’ve been told? Even the Nuns didn’t Agee w/him. I don’t want him fired, he’s just not my type. Thank gosh my husband helped me around the house and was great w/the kids. When he died young, thank the good Lord I had a degree and we had life insurance. As a teacher I’ve had many different kinds of kids, I’ve always treated them the same. It’s opened my eyes and that’s been good for me. I’ve also had friends that needed IVF to have children and some friends that needed abortions-healthcare to save their lives or to save one twin or they would lose both. They all wanted children! I’m not Catholic. No offense, it’s not for me. I am a Christian and baptized.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 - That is a great response! Why can’t more people respond like this instead of denigrating the man because they have a different belief? Sheesh.
-
I wish somebody would explain the diabolical lies part.
-
I happen to agree with Harrison - the best thing I’ve ever done is raise a family. My career is helpful in that end. I take pride in being good at what I do, but is not my life’s goal. My career is a means to an end - taking care of my family. That’s how I took his speech. Would I have said it the way he did? no.
-
@dylans The way he said it came out very insulting and demeaning for women and marginalized communities.
-
How about something positive?!?
-
Looks like Rice is off the hook for the photographer incident. That’s good!
-
Also, the Chiefs signed their second round pick. Don’t make me spell his name!
That leaves Worthy unsigned. Expected soon they say.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Kingsley
-
No politics! Chiefs seemed to have fun at the White House. Travis even got the mic for a quick sec! No matter who is there it’s a special honor, let’s hope for another repeat.
-
-
Some good and sad news from the Chiefs today.
Looks like they are resigning Mecole Hardman.
But sadly a second year defensive lineman went down with a serious medical emergency at practice today. yikes.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk BJ Thompson, got cardiac arrest
-
scary! jeez.
-
Did a lot of Kansas folks get a text asking for support in funding the chiefs move to Kansas?

Yep, I got it. Horrible idea but shills gonna shill
-
I didn’t, but I’d love it if they moved close to the legends area.

Details are out now on the bill. Taxpayers (via bonds) pay for 75% of the project but we can’t see any of the revenue projections that allegedly make it a great deal. Doesn’t seem sketchy in the slightest
