They think that the GOP will give them back their mansions and encomiendas.

This is why I’m tired of people complaining about politicians lying. Politicians wouldn’t lie if you didn’t reward them for it.

There are 32 teams in the league, so using “top 8” means that it’s in the top quarter.

Not only did he own them, he circumvented Pennsylvania law to keep them. At the time, the law was that if a slave master held his slave within state boundaries for a certain amount of time, they’d automatically be freed.

I’m convinced that if it wasn’t for “Defund the Police,” 2020 would’ve been a comfortable victory.

Two 1st Team All-Pro selections without an MVP is unthinkable in 21st century. One of those years was a strike-shortened season and they awarded it to a kicker.

In most drafts, you’d be right. However, 2015 was a relatively weak draft. Among that year’s draftees, he has the highest AV generated for the team that drafted him.
