If this is true, the whole team, and their manager and coaches and refs should all be fired.
Actually, if this is true, then the NFL is done for good…
All because of a series of lies, starting with the big lie called (lately) Obama and culminating with the other big lie, “Hands up, Don’t Shoot!”.

I’m not sure if they still just don’t get it
Or as many have written they aren’t very bright
Or they all just don’t care
The NFL insults the FANS and their SPONSORS that pay for their stadiums uniforms paychecks etc
I read that last night the TV show Will and Grace debuted
In which most of the show consisted of Will and Grace insulting President Trump and First Lady Melania
So people were tuning them OFF
They were insulting the people who voted for Trump and those very same people they need to get high ratings from by watching the show so it does not get cancelled
The American People want their Sports and TV Shows with a side of relaxation enjoyment fun
…I don’t understand how this has not sunk in yet for them!

Yeah, but Will and Grace got over 10 million viewers on their premier and they insulted Caitlin too so they’re an equal opportunity insulter. I think part of their draw was they’re up against schlock in that time slot but word is they’ve already been given the nod for a second season.

So they HAVE to have the TV on? So if there’s nothing else to watch, they’ll watch Will and Grace? I know you’re not representing your own viewpoint here, Czar, but this kind of truth (which it is) makes me want to throw things.
I’ve heard of that program over the years but have never watched an episode and have no idea who or what it is about.
If I could find the right place to stand in the middle of Kansas and could yell loud enough, I would remind Americans that it’s ok to turn the TV off. Apparently a whole lot of people, including a sizable % of CTH readers, are no longer aware of that.
Frustrating.

Liberals simply never give up or surrender, they do not understand that there is a world outside their sphere of idiocy.

As to their getting back into the game I was trying to offer another reason that some team members could have thought it not much of a risk to throw the game. As they’re paid a flat salary and not on winning, a number of teams should be thankful for that, the ability to purposely lose one game to punish a nonconformist is viable. Then again this story is already being buried.

Yes though, they would all jump off a cliff, just like they all ran around with their hands up don’t shoot and all took to the streets when the black man in Tulsa was shot by a white cop. I heard a reporter ask one of them if they had watched the video, this black kid with his pants down around his knees and gold caps on his teeth said, “I didna need no video to know a brother was shot in cold blood, just gunned down in street for being a black man.

If you’re ever in Missouri I recommend visiting this college. It’s a pretty cool place and all of the kids are very polite and respectful, they expect no less.
http://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2017/09/college-ozarks-stand-national-anthem-team-will-leave-nopledgenoplay/
An NAIA school in Southwest Missouri has taken its support of the national anthem at sporting events to the next level.
Not only will athletes and coaches at College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Mo., stand at attention for the Star Spangled Banner, the opponent will as well.
The school calls it, “No pledge, No Play,” and school president Jerry C. Davis said he has no problem taking his ball and going home. The school has revised its contracts in competitions in all sports to reflect the pledge.

College of the Ozarks is the real deal.
No tuition for full time students “due to its student work program and donations. The program requires students to work 15 hours a week at an on-campus work station and two 40-hour work weeks during breaks. A summer work program is available to cover room and board costs.[4] The college refers to itself as “Hard Work U.”,[5] and places emphasis in “character” education.”
Funny how hard work and character education go together.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_the_Ozarks
From the college’s website: “C of O is unique among higher education institutions in America: no tuition is charged, all students work on campus, debt is openly discouraged, and no federal, state or private loans are made.”

(If you’ll indulge the PSA)
The fall campaign for the 10th anniversary of 40 Days for Life (pro-life prayer vigils in at least 375 locations all over the world, many at Planned Parenthood) began Wednesday, September 27th, and runs through November 5. People will be praying at least half the day at these locations, seven days a week, for the entire 40 days, rain or shine. Vigil locations are at the link:
https://40daysforlife.com/
Please consider participating; statistics show that a peaceful prayer presence DOES make a difference to many people who are headed into an abortion mill. Over thirteen thousand babies are known to have been saved over the ten-year history of these prayer vigils; undoubtedly there are untold numbers of others who were spared from death, but who are not included in the hard statistics.
Speaking from personal experience, praying outside of an abortion clinic is extremely rewarding, even when negative things occur. You encounter supporters and detractors. You can be cheered and you can be jeered. People share their stories, and others give you the middle finger (or worse reactions).
None of the negative stuff matters.
The babies and their parents matter.

If a painting is too big, do I save it to my computer, resize it, and then copy and paste directly here? Thanks for your continued advice.

Back in 1977 or 78 while attending a Catholic college, I took a public speaking class. One of the last speeches we had to make was that we had to speak on a topic that we knew would be controversial to the rest of the class. Hockey was the big sport at this college, and the school was discussing games being played on Sunday which caused Catholics to work at a Catholic school on Sunday for a non-essential job. My speech was “Sports Are the Opium of the Masses – Sports Replacing Religion”. WOW! did I have the most controversial speech in class! People were so offended, not because I said sports or religion were the opium of the masses, but that I would criticize sports for replacing religion.
Fast forward to a week or two ago. I was at a large food store on Sunday (I know I should not have been, but we were too exhausted from work during the week to food shop. We try not to shop on Sundays). I could not believe it. I have never seen a food store so busy in my life – not even before Thanksgiving! Every register was open, and the lines curved and then went up the food aisles making it impossible to move in the front of the store! I said to DH what is this? I’m never shopping on a Sunday again, and three other women laughed in agreement. He and another person said, “The Patriots are playing, and everyone wants to get home before kick off”.
I wonder if someone got the stats and made a graph with one line going down for church attendance, and another going up for the rise in sports viewership what it would look like. Think of the ramifications of replacing God with the cr@p that is sport. ~ Bread and Circus.

Finally rested up enough to post about my trip and homecoming. The trip was great. I really hated to leave. I love my DIL so much, it brings tears to my eyes just to think about her. She is a wonderful wife and mother. And, both granddaughters are absolutely darling (of course). Also, my son is so happy.
My flight home was fine, though tiring. Then, there was the 1 1/2 hour drive through Orlando at rush hour. Actually, the traffic was moving and there were only two areas where there was a slow down. Then, I stopped to pick up my little doggie with the hurt eye at the vet’s.
After I picked her up, I drove home and when I opened the door, it was like an oven. The air conditioner had died. I called the office for help and the phone rang several times and quit. So, I got back in the car and drove back to the gate to get help, which appeared immediately. To be honest, I really can’t complain about that. It was fixed within 20 min. I even got a hug from the maintenance guy, I guess because I looked so frazzled. LOL
The vet said the eye was worse and suggested I take her to an ophthalmologist (who knew there were such things) for pets. Might cost between $1200 and $2400. YIKES! So, she made an appt. on Fri. morn and they fit me in. It took me two hours to drive there through Tampa traffic. But, the outcome was the best. More drops for her eyes and outcome looks better than at first thought. Then, the drive back home. I had a headache and was too exhausted to do anything but take care of her after that. I have to put two different types of drops in her eye every two hours and another one every four hours. And, I have to set an alarm to do it once in the middle of the night. 🙄 This will go on for 2 or 3 weeks. Oh, and she has to wear the dreaded “cone”. Poor thing. She has such short legs that the cone tends to drag the ground if she doesn’t hold her head up. And, I have to hold her food dish so she can eat and keep her water dish completely full so she can drink.
Oh, and I couldn’t post the prayer on Thursday because my email quit working. 🙄 I was afraid of something like that. That is why I asked for continued help through Friday. Now, if I can just get to the chiropractor, I will be able to walk straight and everything will be back to some kind of normalcy. 😯

I had to take my dog, Stella, to a vet opthamologist for a melanoma tumor on her eyeball that required surgery. Nicest vet I’ve ever met, and he even pulled one of her teeth for me for cheap while she was under.

No. What kind of insurance do you have? I looked into one that looked really good, but after I studied it, it was so confusing about what they would pay for and it was so expensive, I wasn’t sure it was worth it.

I have coverage through Nationwide. My vet recommended it; she said they had recently upgraded their coverage, and it looks pretty good to me. I compared it with a couple of others and it seems to cover more than they do. My monthly premium is $30, but would be $2.00 less per month if I pay annually (may do that next year).

I have a soft collar for my little dog. Italian greyhound’s necks are as big as their heads so the cone of shame doesn’t work well. The soft collar is inflatable and allows her to eat and drink and I think even sleep more comfortably.
Thankfully we haven’t needed it in over 2 years.

Thank you for showing me that, lovely. I can see how it would be better in most circumstances. I am not sure it would work in this one, however. The problem is keeping her from rubbing her eye on the carpet because it itches or something. You have to envision her putting her head down and turning it so that eye in on the floor and then rubbing it there. I think she might still manage it.

“Burqa Ban ‘Angers’ Austria’s Muslim Groups”
“Nationwide ban on full-body Islamic veil comes into effect on October 1.”
With this latest move, Austria has joined other European countries reacting to creeping Sharia within their societies, albeit on a piecemeal basis. The burqa is not a wardrobe choice, as many western Feminists would us believe. The regressive Islamic attire does not only suffocate the women enveloped inside the garb, but is a symbol of Islamist supremacy that aims to subjugate western societies.

I want to thank everyone who has been praying for my job search, and I’d like to give some more info. I presently work part-time at a radio station, and I love it there. I never understood what people meant when they said “If you do what you love it isn’t work” until I started there. Now I understand it. I love what I do, and I call it work, but it’s not. Not really. I have asked to be full-time there and my request is still under consideration. I was told they can see the value of making my position full time but that the overhead for another full-time employee is the main consideration now.
In the meantime, I have an interview for another position this coming Friday. Please pray for a resolution to my job situation soon, and that I would be given the grace to accept whatever the outcome is in both of these present predicaments.

Hmm. How do you get to be the person who plays the songs and decides which songs to play at a radio station? If I took over our local radio’s playlist for one day, I believe most of the town, and county would call it an improvement. I wish I was in that industry.
I called the owner of our local station a decade ago, and asked him, “Why do you play ‘Hey Jude’ and ‘Hotel California’ every single day? Are they free for you? Public domain or somthing?” I don’t remember his answer, but it was arglebargle. I mean, they can’t play any Joe Bonamassa or Susan Tedeschi or rare cuts by Johnny Cash and Tower of Power? Or great new stuff by Mumford & Sons or Highasakite or Aurora or Of Monsters and Men?
Nope, same beaten-down songs all day long, by the same somehow Knighted Ones. Do you have any idea how much Van Morrison HATES his own song, “Brown Eyed Girl”? He’s got about 600 other songs they won’t play. (And about 6 they’ll play into the dirt until it digs a hole to the Earth’s core.)
I hope you make radio great again.

I think I can answer at least one of these questions, Wooly.
“How do you get to be the person who plays the songs and decides which songs to play at a radio station?” Well, the answer is: Own the station and decide the format. Unfortunately the DJs don’t have much say in what gets played. The Program Director decides the music based on the station format (Country, Oldies, Top 40, Etc)
I don’t know why your local DJ would have been playing those same songs over and over. It doesn’t fit into any format I understand. Unless it was just the owner doing what he wanted.

Sorry, it was on Drudge, not on Bad Blue.
I check on all sorts of sites daily (in a random way) not because I believe anything they are saying but to see what is being pushed, and who is pushing it.
I’m not into boycotting anything. Got better things to do with my limited life time than track lists and products, who apologized, who is to be believed, etc. etc. So yeah – I still check Drudge and Breitbart occasionally.
I don’t see any reason to put the burden on Sundance and/or Stella to decide what I read and what I know about going forward than I would trust those other sites. There are some real misdirections in that kind of thinking.
I think there are alot of people who are “depending on Sundance to tell them what to think” and I don’t find that any more attractive (in terms of what they are doing) than somebody letting the MSM tell them what to think.
Since I linked Drudge I decided to open that pandora’s box a little bit.
I doubt that Sundance finds much satisfaction in being read by those who are too lazy to think for themselves either, so this comment is not about him.

Scary. They say missing one engine is not a big deal, but I would be “concerned”. My dad traveled a lot, and said a plane he was on once landed with an engine on fire.

I think it’s a very big deal – because, if nothing else, whilst one is flying up there with one engine removing itself from the plane, one cannot know if another one is going to behave in a similar way.
Since I worked at Lockheed and know firsthand the condition of the some of the fools building planes and doing the riveting on Mondays after a long weekend, I have never gotten over the compulsion to watch the thousands of rivets on the wings if I can see them! If those rivets go — you’re talking sky-high-zipper! Yeah, they tested them,—but but but – –
The going comment was that no Lockheed employee would fly a plane that was in a certain part of the process on Mondays. Some people would actually check the # on the body so they would know for sure. The area where that kind of assembly was done was, seriously, called “The Jungle” and personnel of the female persuasion never walked through those areas unescorted to get to the administration offices on the other side of the building. We were ordered by our management to take the very long way around – walk to the end of the building, cross over, and then go back down the far side.
So yeah – if an engine falls off, I will not be thinking “Well. That’s not a big deal.”
I doubt I will ever fly again. It’s just such a nasty experience any more.
Read last week somewhere that one thing the airlines are running into more and more is that older folk who can get by with it are requesting wheelchair service even if they don’t actually need it because the treatment they get throughout the entry and boarding process is a little bit better. Of course, that won’t last for long once they don’t have enough people to manage all of us liars who are pulling too many years behind us and don’t like being treated badly in public. Last time I flew (to Colorado 2 1/2 years ago) after I got through security I found a bench behind a pillar and sat down and cried. I was exhausted and felt traumatized. It was a very long process and I didn’t have my hijab with me. Jon went with me absolutely as far as he could – and I was still facing 30 minutes of awful………
Guess I’m just not tough enough any more. Used to be.

Please place Your Guardian Angels of Protection around Donald Trump and Mike Pence and their families as they seek to lead America back to You.
Grant us patience, Lord, as the evil ones try to anger us and cause us to fall.
Spread blessings over Israel and Netanyahu.
We humbly ask that You please comfort those who are grieving and in pain.

Sessions is still in bed with Cruz and by extension an establishment deep state Clinton supporter.
Or.
There is a very deep very expansive very black investigation going on and deep state indictments are going to pour down like rain one of these days.
I guess that there is a third option, President Trump could neutralize a lot of these people with the information he has because he doesn’t want to embarrass the United States of America by airing our filthy laundry on a public clothes line.
