Not me. I hope she lives a dreadful life. If he'd been found guilty people would've been calling for a bullet, (deservedly so).
To subject someone to thaaat, in the name of money or "fame" is equally as low as what he was accused of. All the same people calling for him to be put down in the street are gunna be the same ones praying she gets off easy, because of her sex.
Hope she eats nothing but Ramen and wears lost and found clothes the rest of her life, and that's getting off pretty damn easyyyyyy
Do you wake up every morning cursing the fact you live somewhere that (at least supposedly) views justice as a form of rehabilitation?
She's a teenager who made a horrible mistake. You also don't know all the reasons she made that mistake either, there seems to be a lot lot lot more to that story.

Hope he ruins her so that any woman who thinks about doing something like this thinks twice
I mean she's a teenager who made a really really really bad choice that significantly impacted the life of someone else... there should absolutely be consequences, but my hope is she also gets the help she needs and one day is able to move past this.

in the same way Kevin Durant had a “calf strain” right before tearing his Achilles.
I dealt with really bad Achilles issues for a while due to bball. The only way I got over them was to basically shut down all sports for months. I can’t imagine being a professional athlete and having to deal with it though. It’s got to be so much more higher risk for a rupture.
They need to be really careful with him.
Reminds me of TKO...freaking Michael Vick

While I agree with you 100%, by the time I’ve flown to London and spent a few nights in a well located hotel……I want to nail down a ticket in advance. I know, some people will buy them as the tailgate is breaking up, and good for them, but I’m not that guy. I’m glad my personal ticket shopper handled things in advance. It actually wasn’t too bad and the seats seemed fine. The virtual view from the front of section 518 looked just fine to me. Seems like very good sight lines but that could be my eyes being tricked.
Oh totally get it and you have to hope there aren't a bunch of people trying to do the same thing, though being a legit bills fan should give you a huge leg up... all that said, I'm not saying I would do it, knowing the anxiety of thinking about it would be a bummer, but my guess is there are people sitting on multiple extra tickets that will be stuck with them at the gate and especially if you're willing to watch the game at a London pub, you're potentially getting a cheap ticket day of.

They're going to be much cheaper day of walking into the stadium, people will have extras they are looking to get rid of... if you need a bunch together that might be tougher, but single tickets for sure and I bet pairs will be easily available day of for well below what they are asking for now...

The point was that you take a long term deal--even if the guaranteed is not what you wanted. Bell is the cautionary tale that Barkley isn't able to understand.
Those were the numbers.
You were saying the value of RB contracts hadn't gone gone down, but then showed an example where Bell had a larger contract offer than Barkley six years later after the cap had gone up...

Jacobs I agree is awesome. Barkley...not as much.
Anyway, this isn't really a depressed era for RTB pay. When were they making a ton more per year? 2 guys in the league are making an AAV of over 12.5 million: CMC (a unique player) and Kamara. The franchise tender for RB is about the same as TE. Would any team rather have a top 5 TE or top5 RB?
The problem is they are naive or not that bright. Le'veon bell turned down 70 million/5 years from the Steelers because he wanted 17 mil per year. Over the next 5 years before washing out, he made under 3o million and was in his last year taking only $180k to be on Tampa's roster. Likewise, Barkley turned down a deal that would make him 13 million a year---over a 2 million dollar difference in guaranteed money!!!
Simply, these guys are too stupid for agents to control.
who?
So you're saying Bell got offered $14m a year like 6 years ago, before the cap jumped a bunch, which is more than what Barkely was offered...I don't think you were trying to make Barkley's point for him were you?
Edit: obviously only the guaranteed money really matters, and I don't think those numbers are the guaranteed amount.

I very much want to be in the running for longest average post length... I'm so confident in my place near the top, I'm not even worried about what this post will do to that average

After the FA additions and the Draft, I’m more comfortable with G than I am at RT. The #2 WR and RT are the weakest links on the team IMO.
I think that was before Spencer Brown was able to win a home run derby... because of how much turning is required to swing a bat that hard and the weight transfer ability... he didn't look like he would have been able to do that past year following the back surgery.

i think its normal for somebody spending 200k on a fast car to want to drive it fast
I think that choosing to do so at 3am when (presumably) nobody else is around, is pretty sane. Assuming you are going to do it at all.
My own PR is 147. I have been pulled over for doing 100+ twice. So I get it.
I have done over 100 probably 300 times though. Almost always at night, on nicely paved dry interstate highways between cities in the SouthWest (vegas, LA, San Diego, Phoenix, etc).
-------
but to be honest, i probably do have a little bit of the "rules dont apply to me" disease referenced upthread.
which, as i think about it, might be part of buying a Lambo in the first place. Instead of a nice Bentley.
There are a lot of people who murder people right...so if someone murders someone does that make it normal because other people have done it? Or is it just "normal" because you have done it?

Looks like they did a great job improving the angles defenders take...

What made it doubly emotional is that Damar had to present the award after they played this video. Must have brought all the emotions back.
Man, I can't even imagine how it is for everyone that was on the field...seeing that clip of Tre White especially brought back feelings of fear and helplessness for me and I just watched it on tv...being there and having that be one of your teammates had to be crazy traumatic.

You should check out the Youtube channel dataisbeautiful. They have video charts like this for everything and they give you a much better idea of trends over time than just cumulative stats.
Their stuff is so cool and there is a sub reddit for that also with that same name.

what exactly happened I was wondering till well after the play ended
I am sorry
No one should have to suffer that
When the Dan LeBatard show was local only (before the went to ESPN) they would absolutely destroy them every now and then, and it's well deserved... I'm pretty sure they would do that when they were still on the same radio station, but when the dolphins broadcast switched to a different station they would say it like it is!

Yes.
Correct.
Due to inflation which has caused wages, ink, paper, etc all to climb.
You're unwillingness to accept facts doesn't change that. Ignoring empirical data doesnt change that.
Newspapers and its derivatives were not immune from inflation for the past 40 years.
.
Dude...listen...automated machines eliminated jobs...it is cheaper to pay significantly fewer people than it is to pay for increased ink costs.
Please account for the decreased workforce costs as a matter of fewer employees required to work the manufacturing line.

Making a mistake doesn’t make you a fool. But refusing to admit your mistakes, shows how foolish you are.
What makes up more of the cost...ink or the let's just say hypothetically the 10 skilled union manufacturing jobs that were eliminated through advancements in automation (I'm guessing the actual number of jobs eliminated because they were able to automate things was way way higher per shift).
You're quoting short term inflation over the last couple of years without accounting for all the cost savings that happened 15-20 years ago.
Plus they had entrie newsrooms eliminated because they just use the AP for 80% of the newspaper now.
Ink prices, lol

He got a concussion running the ball on a 3rd and long in 2019 against the Patriots trying to get the first down. He got a turf toe injury on a scramble against the Bucs in 2021 when he had an opportunity to slide after getting the first down. When you run that much you're playing with fire and he just hasn't been burned too severely yet.
Agree, but there have been some hits he's taken on the run where his legs have been bent in awkward angles and thankfully he's hopped right up...all of them on unnecessary hits either trying to get a few extra yards after breaking big runs, or the thing he really freaking needs to stop doing is holding the ball going to the sideline a split second longer trying to get a roughing call...he has said he does that on purpose and he has fallen and hit his head pretty hard after making those plays...I don't think any single person is saying he needs to stop scrambling...he needs to stop trying to show up defenders and get on highlight reals...he's going to get seriously hurt doing that and it's 90% of the time unnecessary...was it the lions game that had a great example of that?
Also, his in the pocket injuries haven't been when he's hitting his first read...they've happened when he's trying to extend plays instead of understanding he needs to just throw it away instead of trying to win every single play...a random 3rd down in the first quarter of a tied game is not worth the risk reward of a potential awkward hit... he's an actual person who is going to deal with the actual physical impacts of this play style for the rest of his life...obviously he's an nfl football player, but he's playing recklessly and it's really dangerous and it's a numbers game, eventually something will happen and not everything is fixable. Anyone saying he should just keep doing it because it's entertaining...gross

Lee Enterprises who owns 77 Daily Newspapers and has been in business since 1890, will be reaching out to you shortly to learn how to run newspapers. Please be on standby for their call.
Come on, they're buying the papers, saddling them with debt, liquidating the business and selling the super high value real-estate that a lot of these news papers had acquired in the heart of cities, then turning around and using the loses to offset their taxes on other investments...this isn't Hurst or Orson Well's character Citizen Cane or more recently Sinclair media consolidating local news to control messaging.
This is Bain Capital type private equity crap that is highly ethically questionable stuff...granted I don't think print papers were long for this world, but these companies buying newspapers are not trying to keep them going, for the most part. If I'm wrong and I misread stuff when I looked into this in the past, I'm happy to change my opinion, but there are real consequences in local government to not have reporters looking around at stuff to keep people honest.

This is my problem with the current Sabres crew. I turn the radio on in the car and I have absolutely no idea what the score is for 15-20 minutes. I've heard them call a goal and then STILL not say what the score is afterwards, unreal.
I was up in Rochester last hockey season and listened to a game on the radio and felt the same way...that said, I'm pretty sure the sabres radio broadcast is the same as the TV broadcast...is that even possible?
-
I lived in south Florida for eight years...the dolphins radio broadcast is so embarrassingly bad...so so so bad
The first 27 seconds of this is basically what listening to an entire game is like...and they basically never tell you the score, where the ball is or how much time is left...I'd been in the car listening to them for what felt like almost 5-10 minutes before you'd get a score or time update...just brutal!

I think I'm in the minority here, but I'm not really a fan of Redzone...it's cuts too much and I think it would be better if they stuck with a few plays from a game in a row, unless something actually interesting is happening somewhere else.
Kind of how CBS used to have to single stream for March madness and would jump from game to game, but actually let you see parts of the game...I'm not talking about 15 minute segments per game like March madness, but give me a minute or two per game...it just quick cuts way too much, and especially for someone with ADHD, ironically it is too much sensory input (I might have undiagnosed ASD too though).
I know I'm in the minority and people love red zone how it is.

Matt Araiza is Suing Woman who Falsely Accused him
in Off the Wall
Posted · Edited by HardyBoy
Reasons why a teenager might feel the need to lie to protect themselves in that situation?
Maybe she had a boyfriend who would get mad she was cheating on him (maybe he was abusive even).
Maybe she was from a super religious family and she would have been basically ostracized if her parents and all the community found out she was doing that stuff.
That's just two off the top of my head. Human brain development and empathy is super interesting and there are a ton of physiological changes happening in the brain at that time.
I am not at all excusing her behavior or saying she shouldn't be punished and face significant consequences...essentially canceling her for life though for a gigantic mistake someone made as a teenager when there could be countless things that she perceived important enough to make and then maintain that lie for so long...just simply no, that's not how things work
