More JAQing off. Are opponents of birthright citizenship claiming that American born children of illegal immigrants are not subject to American law? Preposterous.
I'll join in the fun of the fave albums of the year.
The Last Dinner Party - Prelude to Ecstasy
The it girls of 2024 British rock music put out this fantastic debut. Really off the beaten path for me, but I was blown away how much I liked it. https://youtu.be/s78dvZBb4DU?si=w_Js-6As1c0pE6f5
The Lemon Twigs - A Dream Is All We Know
They've been around for awhile, but they're new to me. Great early '70s vibe on this release. https://youtu.be/4JcnxfF6tss?si=rB1qwuE20qE3Mf5t
Field Music - The Limits of Language
The Brewis brothers are the core of what is probably one of the more interesting rock bands of this century. Art rockers who love a funk beat, and probably the only band to ever put out a concept album about the immediate post-WWI era. David Brewis' side project School of Language did an interesting concept album about DJT called 45. Definitely worth a listen on inauguration day eve.

I'm going to go with Occam's Razor on this one. ESPN is JAQing off with this stuff. There's absolutely no substance. (Though the NFL has certainly invited this. Remember when there couldn't be professional sports in Vegas due to the legalized gambling?)
Let's say he scores. Then there's the PAT, where no time runs off the clock. The Eagles kick off and it's a touchback. Still the same amount of time on the clock. The Eagles' D has to come out and defend who knows how many plays in garbage time. Why risk the injury?
Professional sports may (probably will) someday rue the day they got into bed with bookies, but Barkley's slide was just a class move to not run up the score. Why prolong the game?

I'd rather read your analysis.

How? Does American law not apply to them?

That is not the normal gesture for that intention.

If that's the case, and there was something to spill, he should have done so way before then. They guy's a West Point grad for Christ's sake.

This kind of stuff has been consequence free for years, and will continue to be so unless elected officials decide to do something about it.
