I like watching Brady.  I haven't been because I now only watch college ball, but Brady isn't the problem.

No, Brady gives everyone something to hate.  He and his little coach too.

It's always good to have something to hate.

 jmyrlefuller....living under a rock, that might just be you!

First, Kaepernick was NOT banned!  He was dropped by his team and simply not picked up by any team.  I believe he has a law suit going to say otherwise, and it will go nowhere.

And 2nd, viewership is not back!  It is not as low as its lowest point, but it is not back, and I anticipate the viewership of this Super Bowl to be another low year.  Not record low, but many simply do not watch pro ball any longer.  As others have indicated on this thread, they watch college ball, and wrote off the pros.

And Brady is not the problem either.  He is a highly talented player, whose reputation will be tarnished for having to cheat!  Pathetic really.  The penalties imposed on Brady and New England were not even a handslap, but don't get me started.

And BTW, the federal government has a bigger hand in the NFL then you think.  They give those jokers special considerations for taxes that have been legislated just for the NFL.  I would not be surprised if the Dems would hold that over the heads of the NFL.

And with the exception of one team to my knowledge, the taxes payers have funded every stadium in America but one, even against the taxpayer' express wishes as in the case of the stadiums in Pittsburgh, where the ten counties surrounding Pittsburgh voted 70% against the construction of two new stadiums.  They built them anyway.  So much for democracy in action.  And who bought all the land where they built the two new stadiums before they went after the two stadiums?  Three guesses and the first two do not count!

Kaepernick wasn't dropped by his team.  He opted out of his contract.  He was subsequently offered a contract by Denver, which he turned down.  And he was offered a tryout by Seattle which was withdrawn when he demanded that he be allowed to kneel during the national anthem as a condition of his employment.

His 'victim' status is 100% self-inflicted.

If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.

What does it matter, though? Colin Kaepernick is gone. He's never coming back at this point, thankfully for everyone involved. So why do some want to continue to punish the NFL for something they've already addressed?

Yes, we should cancel the Super Bowl.

We wouldn't want people's subsidized housing to be endangered.  Like this freeloader who gets to stay home with his children on the taxpayer.  Even though he is totally capable of working.  If he can't afford child care he shouldn't have children.  Or come to the United States with them. 

https://q13fox.com/2019/01/19/government-shutdown-could-affect-subsidized-housing-if-it-continues/

I stayed home with my two children on one income when they were little.  We did it without assistance.  It wasn't easy and we went without all the extras.  I suggest he take a night job and she stay at day time job.  We did that too.  You do what you have to.  Not live off of others.

The guy couldn't even get dressed for the interview.  Pajama's and bare feet.

I need to get out of Washington state.  It is driving me crazy.


I am not lawfully present. Am I eligible for any public assistance?
You may be eligible for limited programs IF you meet other requirements, such as being low-income.  These programs include:

•emergency Medicaid


•medical coverage for pregnant women


•medical coverage for children - see Apple Health for Kids Program


•medical coverage for dialysis or cancer treatment


•immunizations, testing for and treatment of communicable diseases


•disaster relief


•school lunch, child nutrition programs, foster care and adoption assistance


•higher education loans


•Head Start and other education programs


•Job Training Partnership Act


•community programs necessary to protect life or safety such as domestic violence shelters


•A once-a-year emergency cash grant for families – see Consolidated Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP): Extra Money for Needy Families)



I am not eligible. Can I still apply for assistance for my family members?
Yes. Your family members may be eligible for assistance even if you are not. All low-income children in Washington state are eligible for free or reduced fee medical coverage, regardless of immigration status.   


If I apply for assistance for myself, will I be reported to immigration authorities?
There is very little risk of this. There are a number of laws and policies in place that protect the privacy of the information you provide when you apply for benefits.

If you apply for medical assistance, the info you provide can only be used to determine your eligibility for assistance.  It CANNOT be used for immigration enforcement.

AG William Barr: "I'm recused from that matter because one of the law firms that represented Epstein long ago was a firm that I subsequently joined for a period of time."

Alexander Acosta Labor Secretary resigned under pressure concerning his "sweetheart deal" with Jeffrey Epstein.  He was under consideration for AG after Sessions was removed, but was forced to resign instead.

Sorry, forgive me.  Back to the ball game.  Heck no she will not cancel the Super Bowl.  That witch need to get on her broom and never come back.

jmyrlefuller...again, not everything is as it appears.  The official line was Kaepernick renegotiated his contract to allow him out during his last year to pursue free agent status.  Now, if I am the General Manager of a team, and a new GM at that, and I want to make my mark, I would do everything I could to get rid of a player that cost the club tens if not hundreds of millions in lost revenue per year.  A player whose record was a losing record for his time with the team.

The new GM of San Francisco was friends with Kaepernick, or so the media claims, so of course he is going to make him look good LEAVING, which any intelligent GM would do.  Otherwise it opens them up for a law suit.  Bottomline, San Francisco got rid of him, and he was just too arrogant to think anything other than five other teams would gladly have him.  No way.  He had some good stats, but he was a loser, and he had a 59% completion ratio, not impressive!

Kaepernick was a pariah, an albatross, and he got what anyone with intelligence would expect.

So the Dems think they can win elections by being the party that cancelled the Super Bowl?

It is Trump that is using the word compromise, that is proposing to exchange border security for a Dem priority,  Trump's the one risking discord with his base.  Meanwhile the Dems are acting like petulant children,  even urging the Super Bowl be cancelled in service to their vanity.

Politics as reality show, folks.  It's why we call ourselves the greatest nation on earth.

Apparently football stadium security has been taken over by TSA and nobody told us?

If they are worried about security...I know of three stadiums...in West Point New York...Annapolis Maryland and right here in Colorado Springs that would be more than secure.

This is the part that I don't get.  TSA workers are paid through a tax attached to every airline ticket sale.  If TSA workers aren't getting paid, then why am I still getting charged the tax?

Withholding a thing can be tricky. We had a 5 star programmer who was excellent. He decided that he was mad about this or that, whatever, so he stopped coming into work. He expected the whole operation to fold and everyone to come crawling and begging. Nothing changed really. It was a little difficult for a couple of weeks. We got a new coder and that was that. I don't know if the guy ever found a new job. He threw away a great opportunity. I know that.

The point is, if the NFL ever stops the SuperBowl, there is no guarantee that it would ever be the same again. You don't crap where you eat. And the SuperBowl is where the NFL eats.

I'll watch the Super Bowl, if only to cheer for the LA Rams, a team I don't give a rip about,  against the Patriots.

Bill Belichick is a despicable little boy.

    program also programme vt programmed or programed; programming or programing 1 a : to arrange or furnish a program of or for : BILL b : to enter in a program 2 : to work out a sequence of operations to be performed by (as an electronic computer) — programmer

Notice that programer is not an option here. It is quite possible that, going forward, the central role of computers as the objects of programming made the spelling preferences of computer engineers and developers especially significant. In any case, when the computer-related definition of the verb program arrived in the dictionary, the spelling preference flipped.

It flipped, but programed and programing didn't vanish altogether. In fact those spellings still appear as alternative spellings in the Eleventh Collegiate (2003). But the weight of real-world usage is overwhelmingly in favor of doubling the m, as this Ngram chart of programed (blue line) and programing (red line) versus programmed (green line) and programming (yellow line) for the period 1930–2005 indicates:
