With questions like that it's no wonder you're so concerned about who's in the restroom with you.

I actually see that sign from the Parkway North when I get on in Union I thought it was just an old sign.

Sorry some of us dont live our lives with the care free attitudes that most have, have you seen the terror attacks the bombings killing and injuring innocent people all over the world in the least expected places. 

When I was raised there was a Men's room and Ladie's room no in between 

If Target wants to be politically correct that's fine its my choice of whether to not to shop there great thing about this country freedom of choice and I intend to keep it that way 

 

 

You're absolutely right, it's your choice. I didn't know people actually cared about what restroom a stranger uses. I was raised live and let live, but I know it's a different time for a lot of folks and change makes people uncomfortable. I don't know what the terror attacks has to do with any of this, but you're entitled to feel however you want, as well as spend your money wherever you want.

Okay back on topic here.

The NFL has become the White Collar League. If your uniform doesn't conform you get fined, Celebrate in the end zone: Fined.

Teams had personality

The Steel Curtain

The Purple People Eaters

The Sack Exchange

Air Coryell

I guess the NFL frowns on it because you don't see nicknames like that anymore for a great defense or a great offense.

The NFL has gone from  a blue collar beer and burger league to a wine and cheese league

1. There are a few great teams and a lot of bad teams. People don't like watching their team lose and they don't like watching two bad teams play poorly against each other. This has been a growing problem for years as the NFL has tried to draw excitement of higher scoring passing games. Now success is concentrated around teams with great QBs so teams without great passing offenses just don't win.

This and oversaturation.

I'll always watch the Jets, but it takes a compelling matchup to get me to watch any of the night games (Sunday, Monday, Thursday) and with games on so many nights a week it makes Sunday less special, really waters-down the experience too as you have even fewer games to watch on its natural day.

Back to your first point, you have two types of teams today:  Teams that can pass the ball all over the place and teams that suck.  Football used to be about balance.  Used to be that you needed to both run and pass to have a successful season.  Nowadays the only interesting football games are the ones that have two gunslingers and that matchup only happens once a month at best.  And for the 25 teams that don't have a dynamic quarterback?  Watching them play is worse than baseball.  Three-and-outs get no one excited.  16-6 defensive battles induce sleep better than golf.

Please answer this how do you sit and watch the NY Jets and pay all that money for what the product is on the field. 

Dont answer because I'm a real fan give me an honest answer,how can you not be upset about what this team has turned into players and coaches. 

Jets football is the most boring in the NFL 

Thanks

So spreading awareness of the serious issues happening in communities of many of these players shouldn't interrupt your entertainment, but cancer awareness and pink gloves every October is cool though? Not everyone or everything is political. That's another way to dismiss the problem. 
 
I guess Keep understands that he must interrupt people's entertainment given that they never truly make time for this issue if it's not directly effecting them. 
Kaep needs to be willing to take the criticism for the greater good. Being quiet about this simply because people don't want to see a knee during their entertainment isn't a good enough reason given the importance of the issue.

Supporting cancer awareness is not a political stance. Many people support the police and even among those who don't, they support showing respect for the anthem. There is nothing divisive about wearing pink gloves. Sitting for the anthem is a purposeful political statement. No different from burning a flag or chanting Eff the police.
I'm not interested in Kap's opinion in this matter. Religion and politics are banned from this site for a reason. They bring out the worst in people. Cancer awareness is purely positive. Many a fine party has been ruined by the opinionated bible thumper/vocal athiest or far left/right political arguments. This nonsense falls right in line with that. You and I will simply have to civilly disagree because our perspectives are simply too far apart on the matter. It's nothing personal I assure you.

Give me a break, ask anyone who is transgender or whatever the hell and they'll tell you they use whatever bathroom they want before and after this. This isn't some new phenomenon,  chances are your wife or daughter has shared a bathroom with a transgender person, and had no clue. Same with the men's room. 

you beat me to it rillo, I was going to post the same thing.  there is a trans in my daughters high school. nobody hassles her and everybody uses her preferred name and she uses the bathroom she wants to

16 year old girls can handle it but joe willy aint gonna take that sh*t from nobody !

don't fall for the fear mongering and distractions.  there was probably some awful bill getting snuck through congress or some other story that was buried the week the country went crazy over bathrooms.

nothing has changed.  back when you were young you went to the public bathroom with all sorts of people you would apparently not want to, you just didn't know it

what would we think of you if we could see your browser history from late at night ?

we are all freaks, some are just better at hiding it

I couldn't even finish watching the 1st half of MNF. The NFL stinks right now. The only really good story is the Vikings. This is the 1st year that I'm losing interest so quickly. If you have no QB, you have ZERO CHANCE because of the pussy rules put in place.

About 1/4 of the teams have decent coaching. The TNF games are horrific. Players sit with hangnails now. There's rarely any emotion anymore, after losses guys joke around, laugh, ignore the press & pick up their checks. A huge number of players could give a sh*t! Look at Revis, the guys made more money than he could ever spend & had the chance to stay with a winner in the Pats but instead of taking less to win at this point in his career, he figures, hell, Belichick actually expects 120%, I've got a ring & why have to try that hard for less money.

Look at Bowles & his wooden Indian pose, does he talk to anyone during the game? Just put a freaking wooden Indian out there & let the fans pick the plays or calls from a remote in their seats, at least it would be interesting. I'm really starting to dislike the NFL. I actually feel sorry for season ticket holders. It definitely looks like a complete rip off & a horrible way to waste a Sunday. 

Im not talking about the tailgating, I'm talking about the complete letdown once you enter the stadium. Yuck!

 

So true. I find myself losing interest too. I find it deeply and satisfyingly ironic, that the rules the NFL put in place to emphasize offense and specifically passing, to make stars out of a few QB's (like it wasn't working in the days of Troy Aikman or Joe Montana or even Terry Bradshaw) , are turning around and biting them in the butt, by making the other 75% of the teams unwatchable without the star QB. Ha ha ha ha ha. Even some that are a decent QB like Luck or Newton don't have the "favor" of the NFL for some reason and don't get the star treament. The schadenfreude is STRONG with this one

LMAO I've been in Target at least once a week, and I've never seen an "All gender bathroom". That has to be a Facebook/E-mail chain letter message being pushed.

Nah, just being funny.  Here's your answer:

I am not upset for three reasons. 

First, we need a complete rebuild and I like what I see in Maccagnan.  He comes from scouting, he knows talent, he is professional, I have a good feeling. 

Second, I fully expected a 1-5 start followed by a 6-2 middle followed by an 0-2 finish to put us at 7-9.  That is all we are capable of.  Doesn't matter which position is hurting us more than another.  We are a 7-9 team.  It's what we would have been last year with a tough schedule.

Third, we are in this for the long haul which means suffering through lousy seasons in order to wind up in a place where our talent gels, we find our franchise quarterback, we find our head coach, and we go on a run and win a Super Bowl.  I have always said that I would rather suffer through five years of losing rebuilding seasons rather than be teased by one of these "oops" years where a rookie head coach accidentally gets us to 10 wins.  I would rather rebuild the right way rather than have these stop/start moments that put us in a constant state of limbo.  I will sit there in the rain and watch a 2-13 team lose its last game so long as the players are young and playing hard, but I won't watch another limbo team with old vets and no substance sleepwalk through a mess. This is our rebuild.  We are young in certain spots and it's hurting us now but it will help us in the future.  Instead of fighting our disappointment, embrace it.

That is my advice to you.

Agree SAR been there done that I still support my team and have been through a lot of losing with them in my life. 

Been through many many bad years many oops yeas many what ifs years many why years many wtf years. 

Sadly I will boycott the stadium until Ryan Fitzpatrick is no longer part of this team I'm not into beards or below average QB play or an attempt at QB. 

Halloween is weeks away and there will be plenty of clowns in the neighborhood.
