I have been seeing those billboards and commercials everywhere and I thought they had a more liberal bent to try and separate the church from the Republican Party. I guess not.

For Purdy at least QBs don't put nearly the amount of torque on their arm as pitchers do, hopefully he is back by next year.

My chemist friend used to work at Unilever and joked their job was to "make sure your soap doesn't kill you."
Long story short, they worked in corporate chemistry for a decade before having a mental breakdown after a lab accident because apparently most of their colleagues treated safety guidelines as a suggestion and they felt their superiors routinely demanded they do things that were either impossible to do safely and/or as fast as they wanted them done.

They never want to do chemistry again.

Obviously I'm throwing poo poo out there but this feels like one of those situations where on Monday after the Super Bowl we'll get a Schefter tweet like "surgery for X is scheduled for later in the week" things where we're gonna go "wow, he played through that?"

that's not nature's way
IIRC, shoulder injuries are notoriously slow to heal because a) they don't get much blood flow and b) they're very easy to aggravate. I think there's a reason Jalen looked as good as he did in the Giants game after two weeks of rest, and hopefully the two weeks he's getting before the Super Bowl are similarly helpful. Then he's got the offseason to rehab (and maybe get some surgery, which, yeah, I agree is a possibility for us to hear about right after the season is done).

I'm going to my second Pro Bowl this year because it's local. If they keep it here it a while instead of Hawaii or whatever it might become a minor tradition.

Last year they had girls' youth football championships before the Pro Bowl and those games should have been aired instead of the Pro Bowl, they ruled.

The video is a standard cult tactic. The percentage of young people who give a gently caress about the Christianity farce goes down more and more every year so they have to try to make it seem like a "not all Christians" thing to lure people in to indoctrinate them. Stuff like this ad campaign and the massive push to try to delegitimize elections in non-Republican areas is because they're in a world of hurt 6-8 years from now and they know it.

the afc struggled for good qb play this year outside of burrow, allen, and mahomes. lamar was ahead of him, too, but is also hurt. players vote on alternates, and he's alternate for allen. mahomes is replaced by lawrence, and as far as i know burrow hasn't yet announced whether he's playing or not.

I mean they were injured, but I dunno how you can say that Herbert, Lamar, Lawrence or even Tua didn't provide good QB play.

But as far as the pro bowl goes, I mean it's like dodgeball and poo poo so yeah send Huntley, but there's no reason for him to go as a QB over I dunno, Derek Carr or any of a half dozen other dudes who actually played a whole half a season.

Tua should never be on a football field again. Herbert struggled against any good defense and mostly beat up bad teams. Lawrence is already in the pro bowl replacing Mahomes but still had a lot of rough patches.

Lamar struggled with injuries a lot and the Ravens offense as a whole was a big step back from prior years.

Also, this is the players' vote - so it's who they think is the best, and, well, he's the alternate for Allen as voted on by the players. Huntley impressed the locker rooms.
