There are a lot of stories that are mildly interesting but not worthy of their own thread.

Going to dump those in this thread.

The honorary first news story is Ellen Page saying she is transgender and wishes to be called Elliot from now on. Ellen tells the transgender community she will fight for them.

    Didn't know who Ellen Page was. Never saw Juno and if I've seen her in something it didn't resonate with me. Hope she (he, I guess) enjoys the newly announced identity.

      johnnydoom Latest show for Ellen now Eliot is The Umbrella Academy. Couple of seasons on Netflix; I liked it a lot.

        CPFitness I think it’s great that she got to kick in a game in something other than a publicity stunt. That said, it was a squib kick and did not have to attempt any field goals. If she does get a chance this week, I hope she gets some 25-30 yard attempts so she can be successful. Her long is 38 yards and it didn’t mention if there was any rush. Carli Lloyd of the Women’s National Team kicked a 42 yard field goal at an NFL practice and the news said she would like to kick in the in NFL. The only problem is that she is 20-25 yards shorter than the male kickers. What these women can do is amazing, but biology is biology and elite men are just bigger, stronger, faster than elite women.

            Never heard of her and don't care what gender she chooses to be. Are Kardashian stories next? 😁

              How about a shout out to Katie Hnida and April Goss!

              By kicking against Missouri, Fuller became just the third woman to participate in an FBS football game, joining Katie Hnida of New Mexico and April Goss of Kent State.

                I thought we were talking Ellen from “The Ellen Show”.

                  A local guy here fell and broke his ankle.......

                  Winter storm moving Eastward. Various amounts of snow fall, in various areas, and other places. They do seem fairly certain of it.

                  Dufferman plus women soccer players are infinitely tougher than male soccer players.

                  Besides unless your kicker was a former rugby player you shouldn't have attempt any tackles.

                      Spuzz I wanna see a return where she has to make a tackle to save a TD.

                      You won't. She kicks, then runs straight to the sidelines.
