Chiefs-Bills shows why NFL must change unfair overtime rule

# – # – # – # – #

Initial thought was to disagree, like what to do? Like the colleges? Nah. Plus the games are too long as it is. But on second thought, maybe “just” for the playoffs change the rules? Open to suggestions. It is “win or go home” time!

# – # – # – # – #

Well I can think of at least three “rules” that could have a “better” way:

(1)  Current rules, but both teams get to possess the ball equally.

(1a)  Bills should get a possession to score a touchdown too. And, that continues until someone “loses”.

(1b) Less preferred, the Bills are guaranteed only one possession.

(2) Even less preferred, the team, that scores a certain number first in regular play, wins.

(3) Most less preferred, the team, that scores the tying number in regular play, wins.

My generation has never seen an America without Roe v. Wade. Since 1973, an estimated 60 million unborn children have been killed in the womb by abortion.

Stunning.

All because of a bad Federal Gooferment and SCOTUS decisions.

It’s a shame the Catholic Church has lost its way on more issues.

BIGOTRY: Boston bureaucrat practices religious discrimination

Monday, January 24, 2022

Exclusive–Kobach: Supreme Court Appears Ready to Protect a Christian Flag in Boston Case
KRIS W. KOBACH
20 Jan 2022

*** begin quote ***

On Tuesday, the Supreme Court heard arguments concerning the City of Boston’s refusal to allow a private organization to fly a Christian flag on a flagpole next to City Hall that was routinely made available to any private organization that applied to do so.  The case is Shurtleff v. City of Boston.

*** and ***

The conservative Justices seemed likely to rule against the City.  Justice Gorsuch pointed out that the City was “treat[ing] religious viewpoints the equivalent of offensive or inappropriate ones.”  Justice Thomas reacted to the City of Boston’s claim that it was celebrating diversity by allowing other nations’ flags to fly by pointing out, “it would seem to me that Christians in Boston would be a part of that diversity calculus.”

Even Justice Kagan suggested that “this was a mistake” by the Boston bureaucrat who denied the application.  She wondered why the City had not settled the case with the plaintiffs.

These and other statements suggest that the Court isn’t buying Boston’s arguments.  Hopefully that proves to be true when the Supreme Court’s decision is issued.  For too long, too many government bureaucrats have been hostile to Christianity and its symbols.  A victory in this case for the plaintiffs would do much to reverse that trend.

Kris W. Kobach served as the Secretary of State of Kansas during 2011-2019.  Prior to that, he was a professor of constitutional law at the University of Missouri—Kansas City School of Law during 1996-2011.  An expert in immigration law and policy, he was also an informal adviser to President Trump.  He is currently General Counsel of the Alliance for Free Citizens.  His website is www.kriskobach.com. 

*** end quote ***

While I have no real problem with SCOTUS smacking down the Boston bureaucrats, I wonder why the flag pole is there at all.

It serves no legitimate public purpose other than making work for the politicians and bureaucrats.

Also, I don’t think Churches should fly the Gooferment’s flag EVER.

In the old days, “the Church” was a power that kept the King in check.  Today, it’s like a rubber stamp for the Gooferment.

We need more protection from the tyranny of the Big Deep State and its politicians and bureaucrats.

Argh!
