Ive never even been to fox/bb sites but it sure wouldnt take much to be more accurate than cnn/msnbc.

He appears to be unemployable in Football - maybe he would do better in a Sports Retail Store.

The Trump Cult in full effect.
I don't like to reward laziness, but you should know the media in California, Texas, and other banned states are full of conversation about how the ban can affect sporting events, raising the same issues as Breitbart.


I'm sure the AG will find ways to ensure UCLA, Cal and the others are exempt from the ban.

It does appear that way, but I am pretty confident at some point he will get picked up by someone. May not happen until a team that has playoff potential has their QB go down for an extended period of time.

Which is simply bad idea. Say Arizona for a this with ASU and UofA, BOTH schools are Pac-12 schools making it hard to have conference play if Arizona law makers got on their high horse and banned that.

The two linked articles were solid journalism and there was nothing remotely "lying" in either. In fact it's bizarre someone would even make such a claim since both articles are dealing with odds-making.

This is why I'm not quite clear if Trump cultists are unable to comprehend what a "lie" is.

Trump saying "Mexicans are rapists and murders" when Mexicans have a lower murder and rape rate than non-Mexican Americans is clearly a lie. Trump saying "I have never met Putin" when there is video of Trump with Putin is clearly a lie. Trump saying "I will defeat ISIS in 30 days" is clearly a lie, or at the least, an unrealized promise (though it's probably a lie; no one honestly thinks Trump had such an intention).

A newspaper saying "Texas has a 41% chance of going Dem" is not a lie under any circumstances, unless the actual stat itself was somehow fabricated without any statistical methodology.

That is partially due to that, partially because he didn't do well the last few seasons because of bad systems that didn't work to his strengths and deciding to get elective surgery rather than play out the season in one of those years.

Leave NOLA alone - the poor thing doesn't understand what a LINK is or how to open it to read the articles in the LA Times, AP, Reuters, Mercury News and every other news site that BB links to. It's a common problem with the Leftists. They don't understand LINKS.

As for how this LAW that California passed about Banning visits to certain States (using State funding or in a State Employee capacity) -- there is already evidence about how it will work.

California's travel ban against anti-LGBT states is keeping athletes from games and students from conferences | LA Times - February 21, 2017

The Cali AG will do a massive Tap Dance to try and "fix" it so that Elite Sports Teams can travel to the banned States - the early chatter is "none of the Athletic Departments have ANY "State Funding" and that is both Un-True and Ludicrous. IF that is the route that the Cali AG wants to take - they they need to put that in their Budget AND give a Directive to University Presidents -- ZERO State Funding to any Athletic Dept.

Athletic Departments get their funding from many sources - BUT the State Funding is the backbone of it all.
A quick search found this ......

any exemptions to the ban will be challenged in federal court immediately.

They said that Donald Trump would win the election.

How did your source work out for you?

I thought so.
