yeah the thing is you still have to call it every time because you got to have it as a subconscious governor in all the players brains to try to avoid it if possible at all. Even in scenarios where it's obviously impossible for them to avoided it
sometimes violent shit happens in the gladiator sport. i think the refs got it right but calling it dirty is hilarious. that is like less than a second of reaction time. playing football is dangerous!
Honestly though , what can the Bears defender do? He didn’t go for his head. He never changed the path of his target. If Love doesn’t dip down, the hit isn’t to his head.

This change will result in more opaque decisions where subject area experts have less input. And feedback to grant submitters will be significantly reduced. It’s a step backward. And it’s a direct result of their reorganization and reduction of the NSF.
🧵 NSF is reducing external review requirements and eliminating routine expert panels, citing staff shortages that this administration implemented. This change expands program officer authority. But the solution to flawed accountability isn't less public accountability.

that is a hell of a headline phrasing to avoid the fact that that's exactly what he did do
Donald Trump sued the BBC on Monday for defamation over edited clips of a speech that made it appear he directed supporters to storm the U.S. Capitol, and is seeking up to $10 billion in damages.

Can't believe our tax dollars are going to be spent settling the upcoming exorbitant defamation suit with Sabrina Carpenter, but maybe this is just how public arts funding is going to work now.

USPS is required by law to try to break even. It generally doesn’t take taxpayer dollars to fund operations.
That’s what makes this a monumental gamble from Steiner.
Amazon is USPS’s largest client — by far. And he’s letting them walk out the door, and even become a top competitor.
