re: Chiefs @ Chargers Week 1 will be in São Paulo, Brazil and Travis Kelce hates it

“This isn’t out until Wednesday? Yeah, we’re definitely playing in Brazil,’ Kelce said, before showing his first sign of complaint about the fixture. “I’ll be there, not to do a podcast. I’ll be playing football in the (expletive) heat.

“There’s just something about getting close to the equator, I don’t want to put on football uniform. I’ve been in Jacksonville in September, that’s (expletive) miserable,” added Kelce, before warning Herbert‘s Chargers and the NFL that he’ll still do whatever it takes to help the Chiefs emerge victorious.

“Sao Paulo, is that by the water?

So he knows absolutely nothing about Sao Paulo.

If he bet on his team, you'd think he'd be trying to win rather than throw.

Do I have that last part right? I heard he only bet on his team. Or did he bet against his team and throw?

According to renowned truth teller Pete Rose, Pete Rose only ever bet on his team to win.

I don’t know that evidence has ever been found to disprove that. But it raises another question in did he bet on his team EVERY game, or were there games he didn’t bet on. From an “integrity of the sport” standpoint it would be basically the same thing.

They could reverse the probabilities so that the worst records had the least amount of balls and the best records had the most amount of balls so that way the teams with the beast records have the best chance at getting a low pick.

I know this should technically work, but there's something about it that makes me think I would hate it as the team with the best chance to get the #1 pick.

From an intrigue standpoint it may be okay, but if you were a fan of the team with the best odds and your team got the 10th pick I feel it would make the rest of the lotter unwatchable.

I don't know exactly what, but there's something about it makes me feel it wouldn't work.

However, why don't they televise that? It would make for better tv than the current NBA lottery reveal show.

Would it though? The intrigue is in who gets the first pick, which is decided on the first draw. All of the drama of the moment goes away with the first announcement.

How much greater? Something can be possible with such a low chance of probability that it doesn’t matter.

I love how Pete would always say, "Yeah I bet on our games. Always bet on us to win."

Except for the decades where he said he never bet on his own games.

Why not triple or quadruple your bet?

You might be on to something. Though that would require a significantly larger pool of starting money.

Just double your bet after every losing hand and you’ll always come out ahead.

At what point do we consider the education of the other students in the classroom this student was disrupting? No one talks about those kids education.

The context of my comment was regarding attendance related issues, not behavioral. Behavior issues are different and should be handled differently. But plenty of people talk about the kids in class with disruptive students.

That becomes an administrative and governmental issue, though. And while none of these issues are particularly easy to solve regardless of what some may think, that one is quite challenging.

It used to be when you got ISS, there was a teacher in there that made sure you did noting but your work all day.

You're still advocating for taking a kid out of a classroom setting for missing too many days. Putting them in a room with the football coach or a minimum wage instructional aide and having them do worksheets isn't benefiting them academically.

quote:
Passing the kid to the next grade when they weren't present enough to meet the state minimums isn't the answer either. Nor is fixing the grades at the end of the period from F's to D's so they pass they class.

It's not the ideal, but the reality is retention almost never benefits the student either.

quote:
Hand out Saturday and after school detentions. When a parent has their day disrupted they may make a better effort to make their kids do what they are supposed to.

Ha! If you're dealing with a parent who can't be bothered to get their kid to school during the week, you really think they're going to inconvenience themselves to get them there on a Saturday?

Values and ethics begin at home. My larger point is that discipline for anything outside of behavior issues will generally be net 0 or worse. If you don't have parental backing, a school or teacher will have little to no impact on a student who lacks self motivation.

And when dealing with kids at a minimum to the point when they are capable of getting themselves to and from school on their own (which will vary widely by circumstance), it's important to keep in mind what consequences are being implemented and for what reasons.
