Many people have difficulty writing. It comes somewhat easy to me, as my Mom ruled with an iron fist! She made me read out loud to her, and checked all my writing. I hated it at the time, but she did me a great service. I can read and write and comprehend very goodly!🤣

As I get older, I do find that words don't come to me nearly as quickly as they used to, sometimes I can't find the word at all. That is VERY frustrating. To have an idea, and then not be able to verbalize it.
Do any of you have that problem as you age? (I hope I'm not alone on this)

I wish I agreed with you. If I did, I would be so much farther along in life than I am now. I'm glad you feel this way, though. I genuinely am. I hope to get there someday myself.

Maybe that helps me write well when I choose to? Thinking more about this as I read others saying it's not so easy to write, I recall many times in school where I was able to write an "essay" out of my ass on a moments notice.

I also like telling stories and trying to verbialize things in an information manner to others.


Okay, maybe writing isn't as easy as I (hours ago) previously thought. I just really believe after reading the amount of Players entries before that they are individually written. I have no doubt whatsoever that someone is coming to their aide for some spelling or grammar or flow. But upon reading them you can really tell you're getting a personal glance into their mind. I like that.

As someone that mostly technically writes for a living (emphasis on scientific technical writing only), it is very clear that most people do not write well. Not even close. Even college educated scientists, and especially engineers. It's shocking to me. Our educational system is failing to prepare students for a career in technical writing. A good writer will generally be able to find success almost anywhere, be it engineering, grants, legal, or anything else, really. Every business has to communicate effectively, and often in writing.

Public speaking is another area where most struggle to rise above average. Many are horrible.

To add to this post, usually those that write well are also successful in generating revenue for their organization, be it grants, government contracts, private sector projects, etc. There's always room for employees that generate revenue, and generating revenue usually involves writing, to some extent.

I'd be curious to get Adams' take on Rodgers' skills at the cornerback position:

Zero2Cool (22h) : It's like listen, you made 4,201 mocks, no shit.
Zero2Cool (22h) : Cuz during the draft "I had them mocked there!" as if it's amazing.

dfosterf (22h) : Answer to your question is yes, it's a Thursday, will be the Chiefs aga
dfosterf (22h) : Luckily for all concerned, I don't post them. I did one, but that was like 25 mocks ago
Zero2Cool (22h) : NFL 2024 gonna start Sept 5th isn't it???
Zero2Cool (22h) : Ugh... kids these days!
dfosterf (22h) : I'm gonna go do some more mock draft hell instead 🤪

dfosterf (23h) : In my city, they are playing the nimby game, in order to keep some railroad tracks vs. 2 professional sports teams and a concert venue.
dfosterf (23h) : And/Or a city council, of which I haven't seen a good one in a very long time
dfosterf (23h) : That sounds like a Mayor, not a city.
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers halt scheduled 80mil upgrade of stadium until lease agreement talks are restarted
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : City of Green Bay puts Packers' Lambeau Field lease talks on hold
buckeyepackfan (26-Mar) : Packers 1 of 3 teams to vote no on new kickoff rule.
Zero2Cool (26-Mar) : Packers sign another Kicker

Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Shouldn't be penalized cuz official screwed up
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Yeah, challenge until you are incorrect twice.
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Fining them is the goal, per the people who made the rule anyway.
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still waiting on the kickoff rule changes. Did hear yesterday that the touchback proposal will now be the 30 yard line, not the 35
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Probably speed of game issues with your proposal
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Hopefully the refs don't get in the habit of throwing flags on this
beast (25-Mar) : I think when it comes to Challenges should get two strikes, so unlimited challenges as long as they keep winning them, but 2 wrong then done
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Still subject to the fines etc
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Yes, I should have been more specific. Also, they are now saying it would be a 15 yard penalty. That makes more sense .
beast (25-Mar) : Simply fined in the week to follow
beast (25-Mar) : I agree with one NFL official, it'll probably be like some of the helmets hits, not really called by the refs on the field but simply fined
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Hip drop is not. Super confusing. Referees job is harder
Zero2Cool (25-Mar) : Swivel hip drop is banned
dfosterf (25-Mar) : The hip drop enforcement will be in the form of fines, etc. Not flags
dfosterf (25-Mar) : A major foul will be enforced on the offense if there are offsetting penalties in a change of possession situation
dfosterf (25-Mar) : Teams will receive a 3rd challenge if 1 was successful. Previously, it took 2
