I’m a little perturbed that this thread has become a discussion about football on a day with momentous news from our President and Alt-Media about the corrupt Deep State/Media Complex threatening our duly elected President and our republic itself.

At this point in our country’s history I couldn’t care less about football.

Interesting that the interjection of football happens on this 'political talk' thread, when in was politics interjected in football that's dominated so much controversy.

There's a story at American Thinker today about the Don James coached Washington Huskies of the 70's that dominated everybody. Outspoken conservative James was lauded by Reagan which caught the ire of the liberal UW president and led to the downfall of the coach and the entire UW football program. As bray knows, the northwest is crazy with liberalism.

Doesn't mean we are ignoring the big issues. Truth is from time to time everything is interrelated. Football players taking the knee has helped our side more that anyone could ever imagine. So we have to go where the news goes.

FreeRepublic.com is more than a single thread. It's a huge site and has been the forerunner of what is good for America for two decades.

This thread has plenty of room to discuss all sorts of things.

I miss Snugs' photos of her and her Dad's dinner, for example!

However, it could use some reporters right now.

If you're watching any of the shows, please report about it here!

You can care about many things at any time.

...the corrupt Deep State/Media Complex threatening our duly elected President and our republic itself.

To your point, here is the best summary about the Mueller investigation threat:

Mueller Investigation: Politics, Not Law Enforcement or Counterintelligence

Not to be dismissive but I have found that my personal priorities over the past dozen years have evolved to:

1) Read/lurk the ‘net

2) Pray for guidance

3) Run the ‘loader (Especially since I added that Glock to my collection, adding .40 S&W to the inventory)

I’m afraid posting (like this) got dropped out of the top ten.......

over the years I have followed here OT never seems to be an issue to most...

Many of the OT (Seemingly) is often very intertwined to political issues.

College football is big business... and a good share of non ethical/corruption present

NFL - well - if we are not in a coma we understand the subsidizes, country trashing owner and some very nasty players when it comes to racism, patriotism, capitalism

Anything else is cool. I personally LIKE to know more about the faceless screen names here.. their interests, passions, as well as their political observations.

So please tell us something about what you care about and think is relevant, instead of your rant against football.

Now, Now - we are talking College sports, And why are the powers that be not taking into account the Strength of schedule when deciding on rankings?

If any of the top ranked teams played even ONE patsy team they should automatically be disqualified from the "Post" season - where the Colleges make their REAL $$$$
