I'd like to respond to the 3 points T.J. Houshmandzadeh made about #Eagles rookie WR Makai Lemon.
Size: At 5'10, Antonio Brown, Steve Smith Sr., DeSean Jackson, and T.Y. Hilton were all better outside WR's than T.J.
The "run first" offense: The #Packers WR's gained 3,845 yards last season, while Josh Jacobs had 929 yards.
The WR's ate.
The QB: Jalen Hurts is one of the most accurate deep-ball passers in the NFL. He completes 64.4% on passes over 20 yds and has a 118.1 passer rating on passes over 25 yds and is ranked top 5 in the #NFL
His opinions are like his career. It's just not that good.
Not arguing about Hurts anymore. Your QB is better? Cool. Hes also a fuckin loser that let's you down every year. Mfs dont care bout winning they care about seeing their boyfriend's stats. Go fuckin Birds
On June 19, 1865, African American communities in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom from slavery — two and a half years after the Emancipation Proclamation took effect.
For 161 years, Juneteenth has been a day of remembrance for the freedom that was delayed. It is also a celebration of the joy and resilience that flourished despite that delay.
The contributions of African Americans, whose struggle for freedom shaped our nation, are immeasurable. Yet too many Black families continue to bear the brunt of an affordability crisis that has pushed them out of the neighborhoods and communities they've built.
True freedom has a tangible impact on daily life: the ability to afford housing, earn a living wage, put food on the table, support a family, and create a future for generations to come.
As we celebrate today, we must recommit ourselves to ensuring this freedom is fully realized.
Happy Juneteenth, New York City.
