I don’t believe there is anything requiring a permanent appointee. The 25th amendment just says: “majority of either the principal officers of the executive departments or of such other body as Congress may by law provide”. It seems to me an acting secretary would still be considered the principal officer of their…

If you look at the historical uses in ngrams, you won’t see much indication of it being a slur, and certainly not a vile one (which is not to say it was never used as a slur). Regardless, slur or not, it’s pretty obvious that it falls under the “not the preferred nomenclature” category of dated words that are tainted…

They retain their trademarks. They were canceled, and a first appeal upheld the cancellation, but they appealed again. Before that appeal could be heard the Supreme Court ruled in a different case (Matal v. Tam) that the banning trademarks that are disparaging is unconstitutional restraint on free speech, which ended…

Taiwanese roots, but mainland money. He is an Alibaba co-founder and their second-largest shareholder, as well as their Executive Vice Chairman. So he has financial ties even more important than ensuring the NBA’s success in China.

It’s worse than that. He said CNN took the “hyphen” [sic] out to make him look bad:

Dammit, keep Jeff Fisher out of this!

Then they fire you for insubordination and don’t pay you the millions left on your contract.

Earlier this year, he passed George H W Bush as the longest living former president. He’s also the president who has lived longest after the end of his term.

I mean he’s currently on Washington’s staff. Possibly choice for interim coach if Gruden is fired? All he has to do is win some games, and maybe they’d extend that.

Nope.

You know, the beard looks a bit silly, but it’s definitely an improvement...

The thing is that handguns are responsible for the majority of gun deaths:

Of course those things can be measured. And there’s no reason to believe the backups are significantly worse.

There are a lot of physically grueling jobs that aren’t paid well, because the job itself isn’t that valuable. If RBs don’t consider the beating worth it, they are certainly free to hold out or retire early but they shouldn’t expect teams to open the checkbook for it as long as there are plenty of others willing to do…

All that means is that “getting tackled” is not a skill the NFL considers valuable.

Possibly the only nice thing you can say Snyder is that he clearly isn’t bothered by black quarterbacks (Campbell as well)

I don’t remember that being as bad? I recall that Shanahan didn’t wan’t McNabb, but that was a Snyder move (Kyle Shanahan apparently hated McNabb even more than his father).

Well apparently Gandhi’s ashes were stolen... (maybe, the whole thing sounds a bit weird?)

But no one will accuse Trump of being even a faux-intellectual.

True enough. Also agreed to by the NFLPA, for what that’s worth. In any event, I don’t see Jones demanding it be done away with, though Jones was one of two owners penalized for not abiding by the spirit of the cap in the uncapped year (that the NFLPA let that go is all you need know to be sure De Smith is not even…
