I expect him to run again
Even senile, he can beat Trump
That's good enough for me

He’s accomplished quite a bit in less than two years. Certainly more than Donny.

Most of the things he’s accomplished make Tanko cry, but you can’t please everyone!

I don’t think Brady has taken near as many sponsor opportunities as he could have.

His wife is right
Brady should retire
He's being selfish regarding his family. The brain is a terrible thing to waste. Obviously doesn't need the money
It's a horrible sport that has ruined many lives
I applaud anybody that retires from football
If I had kids, football would be off limits

Bennet Omalu, the famed neuropathologist who has been credited with finding chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) in former football players, has said Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa should “stop playing” football after suffering a concussion last Thursday.

“Tua, my brother. I love you,” Omalu said, speaking to TMZ, not to Tagovailoa. “I love you as much as I love my son. Stop playing. Stop. Hang your helmet and gallantly walk away.”

They could actually improve the helmets, if everyone could get over players with more oversized heads. They would be bulky, but would scarcely add any weight. People would complain because it would probably affect sports records, but there’s also probability that players might have better brains over time and playing with less damage might make up the difference in the long run.

As long as competing teams are saddled with same equipment it remains fair.

Three days ago, the NYT published an article defending the Michigan based election software company Konnech, from attacks by what they called 'election deniers'.

The group 'True the Vote', claimed the company had ties to China.

'Using threadbare evidence, or none at all, the group suggested that a small American election software company, Konnech, had secret ties to the Chinese Communist Party and had given the Chinese government backdoor access to personal data about two million poll workers in the United States, according to online accounts from several people at the conference.'

'But the attacks on Konnech demonstrate how far-right election deniers are also giving more attention to new and more secondary companies and groups. Their claims often find a receptive online audience, which then uses the assertions to raise doubts about the integrity of American elections.'

The next day, the CEO of Konnech, Eugene Yu, was arrested on allegations he was "storing critical information that the workers provided on servers in China'. Exactly what True the Vote claimed he was doing.

'CEO arrested just 1 day after NYT profiled his firm as the victim of an ‘election denier’ ‘conspiracy theory’
