On a lighter note ...
As I sat in the waiting area, there were seven other folks there. All were above 21, one white, two obvious Black and four obviously Latino but all of them were on their smartphones, merrily thumbing away--
The only conversation was either in Spanish between the Latinos or something I could not understand between the two Blacks guys as the mother tongue to my ear.
And the strange thing is this is becoming the norm--
No one communicates any more, they text-- Or they speak in languages not the Queen's nor any native English that I know of--
God help me, I am finding myself more and more in "The Twilight Zone" more and more each day.
So, now back to the Week 8 NFL Thread and the stark, solid reality of all the other folk here about condemning me to hell for even disagreeing with their demands I stop wasting time mentioning that the NFL plays games now and then. It is either I march in their parade of #never, ever, even speak of the NFL or drop dead--
So THAT’S why you communicate in pictorial hieroglyphics !. !
No, don’t let the SOB’s get you down, and KEEP ON TRUCKIN’ (wish I knew how to put up that great picture on this post to go with that saying).
I’m so glad I was too old I guess to get caught up that obnoxious fixation of looking at you cellphone all the time. I don’t even hardly use a cell phone and hardly ever take it with me. Only to take pictures usually and I NEVER use email and stuff on it. We have a landline at home - costs next to nothing and is very convenient.
What is particularity obnoxious to me is one-on-one supposed conversation or interaction at a restaurant table and one or both have their had buried in their cellphones.
If someone does that to me, I call them out. If they keep doing it, I won’t be meeting up with that person much anymore.

Don't let the bastards get you downFeel like an alien in the land your ancestors created and built from nothing...
I know the feeling.
Here’s my reply to those demanding you don’t post this thread:
First of all, Roger and certain of these owners are political fools who need to be taken down. Goodell is also a moron and, IMHO, a racist, who went after Brady to show the world he was not only against the black players.
Unfortunately, those black players had only committed crimes like assault, drugs, thuggery in general, wife beating—stuff that in the real world and you weren’t a big football star, would get you arrested and sentenced to jail. White or black, wouldn’t matter. So we’re supposed to think the stupid crap they pull is OK BECAUSE they’re black??? That’s much more racist than treating them like any other criminal. Stupid doesn’t begin to describe those who accused the NFL then for going after black players. They weren’t if thy are criminals. Throw their asses out.
Now in Brady’s case, the NFL already had a fine for football air pressure which was what $8,000 bucks or so?
But no, Goodell decided to play politics and go after him, “Hey sorry, Tom, just shut up and take it, cause I goot look tough against you for your skin color.” Even IF the balls are handled every play by the refs, and they never said a word, or Aaron admitting he liked ‘em extra hard, doesn’t matter, Brady has to pay to make the NFL look not racist.
So, now I want Brady to kick their asses by just winning every game. Wasn’t a big Pats fan until this all turned out. I don’t care if the Patriots are cheaters—all of the cheatin’ anyways is what they all do until caught. Is never made a difference if your team sucked. I know others can argue any other way on that, it won’t change my mind much that it is now visceral to me, Brady must win as a big FU to Roger.
On Kaepernick: He’s a total loser. I think it’s great to see his dopey brand of loser stupidity on display. Has anyone actually listened to what he’s saying? He’s an idiot! Nothing he says is factual or even makes sense. Boo his ass every time he shows his stupid puff head. He’s a freaking freak show in appearance alone, and when he opens his mouth he proves that even retards can get in the NFL.
Just as now I want to see Brady win every game, I want to see the Niners lose every game. Cheer AGAINST them everywhere they go. Boycotting all the NFL makes no sense in this regard. This dude and others of this thinking must be verbally accosted every time they go public. THAT is the way to get back at them.
