i mean if they are "questionable" that's basically probable...

To follow up, I would think if both Lewis and Hurst were not going to play the Ravens would have made a roster move sf o they have more than I believe 6 active linemen.

The fact that they didn't seems to suggest some confidence in Hurst playing.

exactly - if hurst couldnt go we'd be down to 6 healthy OL which is untenable at the position given that we have a jumbo package that uses 6 OL - and the 6th OL would be Hronnis Grasu who hasnt played a snap or played in the offseason or even been active this season yet

If we can joke about the holocaust we can joke about cancer.

Wait am I not supposed to joke about the holocaust
A wise man once said.... is cancer funny? I don’t know, I’m not a doctor.

That wise man was Anthony jeselnik.

And ftr, I have a particularly ugly experience with cancer in an extremely close family member that has left me a different person these past few years, I don’t find it funny, but I’ve never been one to say any subject is off limits to jokes, internet’s gonna internet.

If the weather in Glen Burnie is any indicator, drew Brees might be a little uncomfortable. It’s cold and windy as fuck, which I wasn’t expecting

You definitely shouldn’t joke about the holocaust. If someone you knew died in the holocaust you wouldn’t joke about it and you can’t tell me otherwise.

idk if thats true.. i know someone whose brother died during 9/11 and he makes jokes all the time. At the same time though, he was only in the 4th grade when it happened so he really didnt have that much of an emotional impact

I knew someone who lived through it and they told most of the Holocaust jokes I have heard (maybe it was how he coped idk but he was funniest guy I ever met).

Either way he taught me that a truly tolerant society is one where anyone can joke about anything and if its a good joke people can laugh because they understand what a joke is.

They can make jokes about it if they want, but someone who hasn’t been through it or isn’t Jewish shouldn’t be joking about it at all.

I agree with your last statement, but it has to be in good taste and sometimes the joke isn’t in good taste no matter how good the joke and delivery is and who the joke is aimed at.

Oh for god's sake. I'm sorry for my joke about cancer. Even though the joke wasn't a joke about cancer, it was at the expense at those who rely solely on web md because if you do that, chances are your symptoms will match those on cancer. My friend in medical school makes those jokes. I'm not making fun of cancer patients, I'm making fun of those who solely rely on on webmd instead of going to doctors, because there are (sadly) a lot of people who do that.

But you should not joke about the holocaust. There is an "off limits" bin
