Being a tomato dumper is hard work. This crew of 28 pickers harvests thousands of 24lb buckets a day. That makes for a lot of work for the two dumpers. #WeFeedYou #LaborDay

Pointing out a rhetorical device is not the same as attacking someone’s identity. Saying, “part of what informs how I came to see it this way stems from my background as ..”, is better than making it sound like you are speaking for all group members.

Cutting Pooh Paul in favor of keeping Troy Reeder is the definition of insanity. Reeder is usually good for one stellar play per game. The rest of the time is a training tape on how to misread a play and fire into a hole that the running back is not taking. Or make a tackle- 10 yds down field.
