All I can say is keep doing what you're doing. Nowadays any time I hear about a story it's most likely on social media and has been influenced in some way by the person sharing that information. It sucks, I've thought about deleting my social media accounts but my family is out of state and it's just easy to communicate with them through it. The amount of people that cannot determine when they're reading misinformation or when something is obviously bull**** is astounding. There are studies that have proven that people that were not raised around computers are the most easily susceptible to believing misinformation on the internet. My parents for example believe everything they read on the internet as long as it fits their agenda. I don't watch the news anymore either, it's depressing as hell and has it's own clear agenda to divide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Say no to personal social media accounts No Twitter, No FB, No Tik Tok, No real form of social media. Ever I don’t use those sites/platforms, and hearing what has become of them has confirmed my choice of not using them. I still stay plugged in via TV, and internet, but I have much less bombardment in the way of opinion news as others who are always on these sites. For the most part, it has at least allowed me to form my own opinions, and not be a total zombie. I recommend it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cooleyfan1993 Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Social media isn’t bad if you don’t use it in bad ways. I use FB/snapchat/Instagram to keep in touch with college friends, and my cousins that live in all different parts of the country, and twitter to see local media members tweets and national media as well, for all sports. Yes, social media can be bad if you choose to get bothered by news agendas and stuff like that. The trick is to NOT let that stuff get to you.

Ok that thing with the bot was ONE TIME and i think I’ve proven pretty well over the years that all those people I’ve argued with don’t know **** however, what i said wasn’t wrong, social media is only what people allow it to be for them. If people choose to get mad about the opinion posts, and agendas by the news outlets, that’s what it’s always going to be then. People get too easily annoyed with FB and all that stuff, it’s fun if you use it to see friends fun pictures and stay updated on what they’re doing in life.

volsmet Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 BRYCE LOVERB, WASHINGTON FOOTBALL TEAM The Athletic's Ben Standig reports RB Bryce Love would not make the team if Washington decides to keep just three running backs headed into the season. Standig said pass-catching back J.D. McKissick's "spot on the team and the game plan appears secure." He added the Football Team "may keep four backs on the gameday roster since [offensive coordinator Scott] Turner’s system uses plenty of two-back sets. If the decision is only three, it’s Peterson, Gibson and McKissic." Love failing to make the Washington roster would be a surprise after weeks of positive practice reports. Peterson, per Standig, is locked in as the team's early down back. The 35-year-old is available in the 10th round of seasonal leagues. RELATED: J.D.

“Misdirection” Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 With how this offense plans to use RBs, it would be a crime to keep only 3. No chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't see it either. They have to keep 4. There's no way on earth they're keeping a 35 yr RB and cutting Love. I guess, he's still PS eligible though. If anything, Love just slots into the Guice role as the backup to AP. They dont have one without Love, because you're not gonna put it in the gut of Gibson and Mckissic between the tackles 20 times. 32 minutes ago, OVCChairman said: yeah with our deficiencies at WR and TE, Gibson and McKissic likely are asked to pick up some of that slack.

The other thing is I think Turner, Rivera, and Smith are smart enough to understand that McKissic as a 5th RB is more of a contributor than Kidsy as a 6th WR.

Skinsinparadise Posted August 28, 2020 Share Posted August 28, 2020 Went through it. Some tidbits. Standig thinks these dudes are in trouble (either bad camp or others are in better favor) Reuben Foster, Jeremy Sprinkle, Schweitzer (injury), Lucas Inman looks locked in as the #3 (Z) receiver McKissic looks like a lock and is ahead of Love Bostic looks like a lock as one of the 3 starting linebacker. KPL and Hamilton would be the other best LBs in camp. Darby a lock at a CB spot Ismael > Pierschbacher Apke likely is the FS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
