3 Fatality trainwreck 100 miles NE of KC at a crossing with no flashing lights, crossbar. Another earlier incident at a similar type crossing occurred in Stockton, CA. Meanwhile, commercial lines hauling China's crap, tar sands and coal into our lives run pretty much run 1000 times the trains with minimal derailments. Why are 80 mph Amtrak trains carrying 200 + passengers crossing unimproved intersections? If we can't answer that question, we should shut down Amtrak.

But one group wants to force them to have more babies. They love the uneducated (stupid).

Will we see the schedules adjust before the season with Thursday and Saturday games due to ref shortage?

This the most competitive small school schedule I've seen.

Plays Hazelwood Central week 1

rest of the season plays Blair Oaks, Maryville, Lutheran St Charles, St. Mary's, and MICDS.

Never seen a small school schedule so loaded with State Champion level competition.

I guess when schools like John Burroughs, who had no problem beating everyone by 60 earlier last decade during their run, are too scared to play you, you have to go to other areas of the state to find games!

Shout out to BO, Maryville, and others for taking on the challenge. Would love to see more of this.

Everyone wants to go 12-0 before they actually play a real team. not these schools.

Best Player to come out of Hannibal and Northeast Missouri for a while now.

Smithville High School needs 17 medium helmets. Have large helmets recently reconditioned and reconditioned yearly. Would really prefer Riddell Speed Flex that have been reconditioned. Will trade, can paint! Does anyone need larges? Have 14. We are flat white with white cage. Please email Jason Ambroson at ambrosoj@smithville.k12.mo.us. Hopefully we can work together to battle this shortage. Have a great day.

I am not trying to be mean, but good lord, I have seen some kids in pathetic shape at the high school age. I know there is a lot of staring at computer games and cell phones, but good god. I get the impression overall, that collectively, we have a lot of softbodied kids out there. I've seen some presentations by high school football trainers about having to dumb down workouts compared to those developed 10-20 years ago. I knew the soccer-mom movement to turn boys into weaklings has been gaining steam for years...thoughts? ( Know Bosko will perk up when we mention soccer moms.)

And since I don't want to be someone that just complains and doesn't offer a solution here is mine:

Required gym class:
All classes start with 800m run or line drills. All classes have some element of strength training.
Then games--or whatever.

Elias Sports Bureau: noted the Chiefs are the first team in league history to start a season with eight straight games against teams that had a winning record the previous season.

Washington (CNN)A Justice Department investigation into Hunter Biden's business activities has gained steam in recent months, with a flurry of witnesses providing testimony to federal investigators and more expected to provide interviews in the coming weeks, according to multiple sources familiar with the matter.
The probe, led by the US Attorney in Wilmington, Delaware, began as early as 2018 and concerns multiple financial and business activities in foreign countries dating to when Biden's father was vice president. Investigators have examined whether Hunter Biden and some of his associates violated money laundering, tax and foreign lobbying laws, as well as firearm and other regulations, multiple sources said.
To do so, law enforcement has gathered information from lobbyists connected to Hunter Biden, from his business partners, and from others who've observed his financial engagements, including a woman with whom he had a child.
Hunter Biden has not been charged with any crimes and has denied any wrongdoing. His father, President Joe Biden is not being investigated as part of the probe of his son's business activities, according to sources who have been briefed.


But the ongoing investigation has persistently raised questions about the ethics and behavior of the President's son and fueled right-wing political attacks. In 2019, then-President Donald Trump pressured Ukraine to investigate the Bidens over Hunter's work for Burisma, a Ukrainian energy company, eventually leading to Trump's first impeachment.

So the Justice Department is heavy into an investigation into Hunter Bidens foreign business dealings including money laundering. Funny how Trump saying Hunter was dirty and trying to get prosecutors to investigate the guy got him Impeached???

Beat Joplin this year???? Kind of getting irritating

Chiefs just traded away Tyreke for little of nothing.

Hearing we will be looking.

His oldest brother Ronnie (now 30) played at Arkansas.

The middle brother Raymond (now 27) played at Mizzou.

There goes that argument?

Obviously, this is not definitive, of course; clinical studies are about probabilities and not certainties, but it is instructive...and contradictory to what a particularly loud group has been putting out there.

Apparently Durham has evidence that Hillary paid people to hack into Trumps personal as well as White House servers

Clinton's both nothing but scum

A night of pool at the local watering hole with Bosko and his goons.

i stumbled into having the pro bowl on for a very brief while today. oh my. there has to be something better. maybe a tug of war. rock-paper-scissors, field goal kicking contest for the non-kickers. barbeque contest, hot dog eating. improv theater with the quarterbacks. maybe some squid game scenarios probably toned down a bit with paint guns. or just have a red carpet dinner for the pros and roast bill belichick. he seems like a fun guy.

Has anyone heard any news on the new head coach? Figured it would have been announced by now.

Was Georgia just flat in the SEC title game because they knew it didn’t matter?? Or did the SEC just rig it so they could get two teams in the playoff?

They are flying around like they are possessed against Michigan. They did not play this hard nor scheme this aggressively vs Bama.

The stipends go anywhere from 3-6k for an assistant and 4-10k for a head coach though some districts may have other incentives for coaches as well
