NFL QBs as Thanksgiving dishes:
🦃 Sam Darnold = turkey
A lot of people claim to hate turkey. They say it’s dry. Bland. Well I say that’s a coaching/cooking issue!
It ain’t the 1.01 of meats, but in the right hands it gets the job done.
Trade it from the stove to the smoker and see what happens.

Women who get an abortion and anyone who helps them could face up to 30 years in prison under the bill.
It appears to ban any contraception that prevents a fertilized egg from implanting. That would ban IUDs and could strictly limit in-vitro fertilization.
