You are clearly a better fit at barstool
If I accidentally upvoted a post, clicking the downvote removes the initial mistake and ends with a net downvote, right? Is there a way to downvote a post more than once? Asking for a friend.
Just kidding, asking for myself.
Lol, the hate for Barstool here is utterly ridiculous.
Agreed. The recent Bussin With the Boys in A2 is solid content. If one is a Michigan fan, how do you not enjoy interviews with JH, Shoelace, Cade, etc.?
Where they talk about checking out people’s dicks in the locker room?
Being a decent human being is a political bias?
30 days in Bolivia for trolling the MGoBoard with the political trash at the tail end of your post.
If it happens again upon your return from exile, next offense earns a permanent ban.
"What the fuck is Brett Favre doing here" is probably Matt Dillons best acting moment.
"Vanlandingham, who launched Prevacus in 2012, said he had developed a nasal medication called Prevasol that would reduce harmful brain swelling and inflammation after impact to the head, as well as a preventative topical cream."
"Topical creams" is one of the biggest categories of fraudulent horseshit medical nostrums that have been peddled by American snake-oil merchants over the past two centuries.
The idea that a "pregame cream" is going to be "preventative" against concussion effects is questionable—concussions result from the physics of the brain slamming against the inside of the skull, and a cream isn't going to be able to counteract those basic physics. The notion that a simple topical cream is going to be able to penetrate the skull to prevent swelling and inflammation before they happen sets off my "too good to be true" alarm bells and I'm willing to bet that the whole thing—including the nasal spray—is just another scam featuring a medical treatment that will never exist in reality.
The negative physical and medical effects of concussions and closed-head injuries afflict many more people than just athletes, and the potential value of an effective medical treatment is in the billions. If Vanlandingham really did have an effective medical treatment that he could medically and scientifically demonstrate, venture capital would be breaking down his door to throw money at him—he wouldn't have to be reliant on government bureaucrats stealing money from funds intended for welfare recipients. The fact that Prevacus is now defunct is suspicious.
Good points but I do wonder if the cream were applied thickly enough if it would, indeed, prevent concussions.
Sorry, reading the article i don't see how he stole it:
He paid it back.
It also wasn't given to him under false pretense.
It was the governor's decision to direct the money, not Favre's.
Help me understand how that is him stealing from welfare, as your title implies he somehow managed to collect welfare money through some sort of deceit and use it for himself (even if he didn't pay the money back it didn't go to him in the first place)
Come on. The money was allocated for a welfare program. Favre worked to take the money from the welfare program to benefit the company in which he had a personal stake. Taking money that you are not entitled to is stealing. Favre's offering of a kick-back to the governor and "don't know if it's legal" shows his knowledge that the welfare funds could not be used for his "medical" company.
Even if "stealing" isn't an absolutely precise term here, the OP is writing a short title, not a narrative of the entire situation.
Also, paying back stolen money once you are caught does not mean that you did not steal.
Why are you a Favre apologist?
Also, not his first time taking funds meant for the poor: https://mississippitoday.org/2021/05/06/brett-favre-hasnt-returned-welf…
It took over a year, much bad press, and legal wrangling to get him to repay the money the first time. The words entitled and criminal come to mind.
