Similar age; The kid in my school did it more than once. But then again,  IIRC 1) he got it down to a real fine powder.

I’ve had 1 that ate a tide pod (but he’s an idiot looking for attention) Yes- I called a kid an idiot. He isn’t SPED, so guess what Truth don’t give a damn about your feelings.

I (assume?) you used Fresno in your example for its Fresnoness but disturbingly not far off.

I teach HS in a city of 300K at a Title I school/District. I’m surrounded by teenagers for 9 months a year. Can confirm that a lot of these “new teen crazes” are either regional & isolated(in as much as something can be in the internet age) class/Income specific, or moral panic BS.

“white washed Latino cops”

Can we have a moment to say that this is not what “the kids” are doing today, but what Casey clausen & Matt Barkley’s understudies are doing?

Sam Bradford has to be the QB men like Billy Volek, Trent Dilfer (pre SB coattail win) and the like aspire to be.  

I always love a Sherman torching the South joke. Take your star.

Nailed it. Niner fans always got the ‘wine & cheese’ snark and lets face it, the last decade or so has been a GREAT time to be a Bay Area sports fan. But we haven’t spent our time, to quote another poster, sniffing our own farts in a faux persecution bubble like Pats fans.

Yes. Depending on the school, conference etc. (unless NCAA has changed this is recent years) player scholarships are basically year to year at (school) Will deals.

I’m in CA too; IDK if Dianne is waiting to see how Gov race plays out, waiting picking her successor, or just going for “Oldest senator titles” but she ain’t getting any younger. let’s be honest no R is winning statewide office here for a LONG while. Especially now w the “top 2 regardless of Party” we do now.

Couldn’t this same exact statement be said for damn near all endorsements period, or if we’re being extra cynical, marketing as a concept?

Hatch(for now) McCain, Cochran for sure

2nded for that last part. IDK about NE- cause unless we think Football Jesus incarnate Tommy Brady is gonna Hang it up at the end of the year, Tyrod would have to sit at least a season.

Sadly, this is only BARELY a hyperbolic statement.

Farther than her husband can throw one.

Say the Vols win out; Butch keep his job & get canned mid season NEXT year or is he out at end of season regardless of what he does?

Would imagine it wouldn’t be the vague comments per se, but the “you had kids get death threats and didn’t report it?” I.e willfully putting(keeping?) them in danger -> neglecting athlete safety so for cause

Now THAT, is good, while dated, Kinja.

Doesn’t really matter. Teams can cut players for whatever reason and since NFL contracts aren’t guaranteed not much lost aside from cap space which is for all intents & purposes theoretical $$. So unless there is some language that bars specific reasons in nflpa contract..
