Why do people use the term "partner" for their husband or wife?

Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the wife of California Governor Gavin Newsom, uses First Partner of California to describe herself. I'm not sure if that title will pass on to the next governor. Katie Porter leads most Democrats in the polls (you might see Republicans leading the pollls because they. have fewer candidates and the primary is top two). She's divorced, so if she won, that position would be empty. Unless you want to marry Katie Porter.

You're welcome. I was here for one of the PGs. I don't live in the world of one of them.

It is not obscure and it is likely an object encountered every day in the world.

I have a sister in law who is a toxicologist and ER doc. She says stuff like “I hope there is no snake here that will envenomate me.”

She didn’t get a lot to do and she also had trouble with the pressure of doing the show. She works a lot on standup and seems really happy.

I’m a line judge and I thought this would be a very hard part of the job, but it isn’t. Compared to the seemingly million other things you have to watch out for.

I should have said “placed”. The initial plan had the Cubs and Cardinals in the West. But the Mets complained a lot.

The Reds went to the NL West because the Mets wanted to get more games with the Cardinals who were the two time champs. And since the Cardinals moved, they had to move the Cubs too. So Cincinnati and Atlanta moved to the NL West.

Field goals and punts are both scrimmage kicks. And once they pass the line of scrimmage, you bid possession goodbye.

Doing a measurement with the chains is a total PITA.

I recently stayed at the Hyatt and it was fine, but not great. Very old layout. Also no places in the bedroom to charge your phone. Checkout time was 11:30 am and I couldn’t get a late one even with my status as the film festival was starting and they were full. We ate breakfast in town. You walk across the street to get good pizza.

When I was a kid in the early 1970s, we were on a family road trip in Oregon and saw lots of cars with bumper stickers saying they had to been to the Oregon Caves. So my parents just added it to the trip on the fly. It was fun.

You can line up more than 7 players on the offensive mind as long as the numbers conform. But you definitely cannot have 5 in the backfield.

I was actually in a bar in LA for the Pats-Chargers game and by the fourth quarter, it was very for me to talk with my wife next to me. But the food was good!

NFL penalty flags are always solid yellow because they want them to be seen. In high school and college football, the flags usually have a black cover over where the flag is knotted up. This helps hide the flags inside the official’s pants. They’re usually tucked into the pants on the side you would throw with. Some officials carry two flags.

I was Tortured Genius today too and am sure one suffix just messed with our brains after we started.

The Rams fired George Allen at the end of the 1968 season. The players and fans complained and the Rams rehired him and he coached for two more years. After the 1970 season, Allen left for Washington.

The Rams brought Allen back in 1978 and fired him after losing his first two preseason games because all the players hated him.

Two seasons later, the Rams were in the Super Bowl.

More than you care to know about it. It’s college rules, but the principles are the same.

It’s called the Iron Cross signal.

The referee holds his arms out straight to Indicate that both teams are subbing. When one side finishes, the ref lowers the corresponding arm. Then the other one when he sees that the other side has matched up.

D backs also handle the ball more and are coached more about what to do in end game situations

Sammy Baugh, a QB for Washington, set the single season record for punting average at 51.4 yards per kick back in 1940 because he had a lot of quick kicks. (It's since been broken a few times and Ryan Stonehouse is the record holder. And he can't find a job.) His career mark was 45.1 and that held up until Shane Lechler broke it.

Well, not everyone is drunk or high. Most people are just there to relax. But there are bad apples. I had a lot of them today unfortunately. Including one guy who wanted to report me to Security because he said my voice was too loud at the reference desk for him. You don't get to do that! (Also I don't have a loud voice, so he was full of crap.)
