Yep, instead of allowing for a chance to win, the opted to postpone the lose. Should have given Aaron the one chance to win it.

I agree. Was amazed that they didn’t go for it.

That was the time for a gutsy call...

Example: I used to compete in long distance horse events called endurance. Normal distances are 50 miles, but there are also many one day 100 mile events. Also multi day events-—5 days 250 miles.

There are world wide championship events, and they are held in different countries each year, with teams/individual entries.

One year, the race was held in Italy. The Italians were known for their “GO FOR BROKE’ method of competition. The USA team had strong riders, and the best one had a problem with her horse.

After it had been shipped to Italy, it refused the feed provided there, and it took the husband/crew chief over 24 hours to get the officials to allow PELLETED alfalfa to be flown in for that horse. He finally ate, but was behind the 8-ball in stored nutrition. He is a top notch competitor of a horse, and a favorite to win.

The race starts...USA team is leading well. Italians have gone too fast, and are all ‘pulled’ from the event. BY the 70 mile mark, the horse that had the feed problems, is not up to par, so the rider—a size 6 lady, gets off & hand trots the horse , but continues. USA female rider wins the event.

At the 92 mile mark, the entire Italian team is there-—CHEERING loudly for the USA rider who is still hand leading her horse...supporting her efforts for NOT quitting. (they would NEVER have done those kinds of miles ‘on the ground’) All teams need at least 3 out of 4 team members to get any kind of medal. One male team member of team USA is already out-—early on, so the ladies are carrying the ball.

That lady rider FINISHED the event-—running the last 30 miles ON THE GROUND—off the horse, and the team wins 1st place for combined time. That rider had a bad back, and ALWAYS rode with a wrap-around back brace.....

That is the kind of gutsy move I am talking about.

This Is why conservatives are toast. The NFL hates your guts yet you support people who hate you.


The NFL isn’t even a person and is therefore incapable of hating anything.

Then he denied it.
