Hard to decipher, but I THINK Jennings may be saying he’s back on the team

BULL CRAP! Diversity for the sake of diversity is division. Inclusion always meant assimilation. Immigrants took pride in learning English and American customs. Being American has nothing to do with skin color. Political rhetoric has been used to victimize and divide. By definition diversity is inclusive!

You'd be surprised.. Btw, Dobbs had a lot of "help" in his classes. Par for the course in the SEC, did you catch any of the Bama players interviews post game?

Good gawd the JJ stuff again...LOL

Just had an Iverson flashback

"If I can't practice, I can't practice man. If I'm hurt, I'm hurt. I mean … simple as that. It ain't about that... I mean it's... It's not about that... At all. You know what I'm saying I mean... But it's...it's easy … to, to talk about... It's easy to sum it up when you're just talking about practice. We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice. Not a game. Not, not … Not the game that I go out there and die for and play every game like it's my last. Not the game, but we're talking about practice, man. I mean, how silly is that? … And we talking about practice. I know I supposed to be there. I know I'm supposed to lead by example... I know that... And I'm not.. I'm not shoving it aside, you know, like it don't mean anything. I know it's important, I do. I honestly do... But we're talking about practice man. What are we talking about? Practice? We're talking about practice, man. [laughter from the media crowd] We're talking about practice. We're talking about practice. We ain't talking about the game. [more laughter] We're talking about practice, man. When you come to the arena, and you see me play, you see me play don't you? You've seen me give everything I've got, right? But we're talking about practice right now. We talking about practice."

I was the league MVP and We don't talk about that but We talk about practice
Play offs? Play offs?
The bears are who we thought they were. We had them but let them off the hook. Go ahead and crown them
I did not have sexual relations with that woman Ms Lewinsky
Yes I cleaned the server like with a rag
If the glove does not fit you must acquit
Why can't we all just get along
I voted for the war before I voted against it.

If I'm not mistaken,the original immigrants of this country we're English. I haven't read much in history books about them learning the native tounge, or assimilating to the native culture.

Yet how many time do you see someone on VN claiming that requirements should be reduced for jocks? If help means tutors to help re-balance the time needed for practice, other team activity, and time away for games, that's fine. If it means special sections like Rocks for Jocks; that's not fine - at least not many people here thought that North Carolina should have been let off the hook. And tutoring is helping, not doing the work for someone.

Alternate literacy is not literacy. That is just another way of saying illiterate.

We'll see how well that dialect pays off for him after football. As a poster said above, there's a difference between using slang to purposefully connect with your audience and not knowing any better. Hell, why even have take English classes at all? Just grunt and groan, right? Works perfectly well.

I thought the original immigrants walked a land bridge across the Bering Sea.

Actually..No, they weren't. Besides the obvious Native immigration across the Siberian land bridge, the Spanish had been in what became "America" for something like 35-40 yrs yrs before the English ever got here. :thumbsup:
The English had better press agents. :eek:lol:

Luke 4:14-16 -- "And he (i.e. Jesus) came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read. And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, "... ""

and compare someone else who could also read, in

Act 8:26-28 -- "and on his way home (i.e. he / the Ethiopian eunich) was sitting in his chariot reading the Book of Isaiah the prophet."

Both Jesus and the Ethiopian eunich (the treasurer of the queen of the Ethiopians) could read.

haha no. The English language is constant (and has been for quite some time). If someone chooses to speak it incorrectly, they're the one with the issue regardless of how many other people also choose to sound ignorant.

The funny thing is you actually agree with this, but because this kid and other score TD's on Saturday, you give them a pass.
