Woman has two graduate degrees, but can burn food in the microwave. 🤣🤣🤣 What sucks... I actually think he's right, especially to a degree, but obviously his deliverey was not the best lol And what I mean by that... imo, we need to accept our role as father/mother well before we try to be a "bad b****" .... I believe that was the ultimate point. Like put making your family a meal over going to the club. And that is obviously not just a one sided gender thing, right? We have plenty of men not pulling their weight too. plenty. Edited April 13, 2022 by btownqb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he's right, especially to a degree, but obviously his deliverey was not the best lol I'd disagree, at least in terms of being a universal guideline. Couple of lines from Cam that stood out: Quote And I think a lot of times when you get that ascetic of ‘I’m a boss b----, Imma this, Imma that.’ No baby! But you can’t cook. You don’t know when to be quiet! You don’t know how to allow a man to lead,” Newton said. Alright Cam, you want to go with traditional gender roles? What are you going to do if a water line in your house breaks? That's traditionally something a man would handle. The likely answer is.....you'll call someone to fix it, because you're not going to do that kind of stuff when you've earned enough to pay someone else. Well, guess what....if you've got enough money to pay someone for repairs, you've got enough to pay someone to cook. If you're going to hold a woman to those standards, next time something breaks, I suggest you go dab your ass on over to the toolbox and get to work, Superman. Now, I will say if anyone, man or woman, goes around with that kind of attitude just because they want to or think they can, it's a recipe for disaster. I'd say at least half the time, my wife fits that description. She's a very outspoken, ambitious woman. But, if it isn't her turf, she knows when it's time to back down. Taking up a new hobby? Going shopping for god knows what? Yep, she's going to do what she wants. Long term financial planning (which is my area)...she's mostly quiet and agrees. It's all about knowing when to hold 'em and when to fold 'em, on both people's accounts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not looking at it from a traditional gender role standpoint. I'm simply looking at from a perspective that there aren't enough parents handling what they need to handle first, before the "me" stuff. And that is what I'm hoping he truly meant. Now... ultimately.. I have zero clue why he would allow himself to go down that path, at all. Seems so.. just unneeded. I agree with everything you said.

Steubenhoosier Posted April 14, 2022 Report Share Posted April 14, 2022 Colts lose one as former second round pick Turay signs a 1 year deal with the Niners. Wasn’t going to start here. Probably saw the writing on the wall. But, depth always is a good thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seeking6 Posted April 20, 2022 Report Share Posted April 20, 2022 I think I might have to take a break from Twitter. Since the Bears took Sweetness in 1975 they've had 2 players on offense they drafted earn All Pro honors. Jimbo Covert and Olin Kreutz. That's the whole list. 46 drafts and 2 All Pros. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep....and it's no shock when the Bears had their best drafts going (early 2000's until 2010) Ballard was involved. Love Ballard.

If I'm the Colts I'd be willing to give up a 1 and probably a 3 for him. They also have a team trade history with 49ers sending Buckner to Colts. Make this one happen Ballard. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trade whatever necessary to get him so you can try and compete in the AFC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
