underpants's JournalThe incredible story of college football's first -- and only -- eighth-year senior
https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/32382280/the-incredible-story-college-football-first-only-eighth-year-seniorSome of his youngest teammates at ETSU were in the fifth grade when he first started playing college football at Temple in 2014. He has endured more surgeries than he cares to count, accumulated two degrees and is closing in on a third (his MBA), and as recently as the spring of 2020 was a full-fledged member of the workforce as a credit union's marketing coordinator.
To the best of the NCAA's knowledge, Folks is not only the first football player but the first college athlete in any sport to have an eighth year of eligibility. That's right -- eight -- as in two presidential terms and two years shy of a decade.
"Holy hell, he's still playing," marveled Satterfield, now the offensive coordinator at South Carolina. "It's not like he's at Notre Dame, either, where he's getting all the perks and benefits of being at a Power 5 school. You're at ETSU and you get on a bus and ride eight hours to The Citadel to play a game. So he ain't doing it for anything other than the love of the game, which is really cool."
"But then again, I don't really have any debt, so it might balance out," he said. "This experience has been something I couldn't get anywhere else. I want to have the same effect on somebody else's life that all these coaches had on my life.
William C. Rhoden's excellent "Gruden is gone, now the NFL should get rid of those who enabled him"
I am posting the end of this piece.

My question is to whom was Gruden writing? Who was his audience? Were they league executives, powerful entities in other areas in the sports and broadcast industry? This could explain why former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick was blackballed.
The people who enabled Gruden, who laughed at his racist jokes, guffawed and winked at his anti-gay quips, are still around. So why is it important that we root out these enablers? These enablers are in positions of power and control, making important decisions about who gets hired, who gets promoted and which initiatives are launched.
As for Gruden, I was not surprised that he made the comments via email that were attributed to him. His persona was that of an entitled, charismatic frat boy who made thoughtless, off-the-cuff comments that were passed off as Jon being Jon. That was his allure in the broadcast booth: He would tell it like it is. That he has.
As for the 10 years that have passed since the recovered emails were revealed, in the war on racism, there is no statute of limitations. War criminals should be sought out and punished.

The way it's going, this doesn't look to promising
for Trump to win a Nobel prize this year. Economics just got awarded. If he doesn’t get the Peace prize this year it just might not happen.
But hey, there’s always next year right?
HAPPY MONDAY DU!!! 
Hannity's "question" to Trump - this is what they actually see
https://twitter.com/atrupar/status/1446286681347436561?s=21HANNITY: You know, you were -- last time on this program, I think we need to put emphasis back on this, that your conversation with the leader of the Taliban before you ever discussed any deal of withdrawal was number one, it was based on your -- your stated threat that you would obliterate them.
Do you remember exactly what you said? Because I have a source that says you were brutal to them. And that you said you would destroy them, you would destroy their province, you would destroy it and it would be -- everybody in the area would be dead.
The comments in Twitter are hilarious
