No, that's not how it works. I often have a backpack in my car with my work laptop in it, they can just pull me over for any arbitrary reason and then search my bag? A gun can be under a seat of a car too... so they can just search every car for a gun then?

He sounds like a mess and that's being kind (without understanding any context)... but how exactly did the police see there was an uzi in what I would imagine was a closed bag after a stop for a suspected vehicle code violation?

SLC Punk is such a good movie!

TJ Watt also tore his pec on basically the last snap of the game...my understanding is that is a fatigue injury as much as anything else.

Fair, but I think you need to take into account, mediocre at what? Situational football and all and certain players might be overall mediocre, but above mediocre at certain situations. That Ed Oliver comment on understanding situational football, in my mind is a huge compliment and not an incitement...what is josh allen working on?...exactly. Ed Oliver can play across situations, now the coaching staff is challenging him to know which physical skills to use in a given situation...but bringing it back to this point...coaching is the same way. You have players that in general maybe are mediocre, but in certain situations can contribute significant value. Also, you're keeping your stars fresh for the 4th quarter, but also for the full season. I think this is as much a philosophy as it is the application of sports science...in my mind this isn't some theory of McD, but something backed by scientific reasoning...irony is it might cost you a game to win a more important game and a single game might be the difference between the 1 seed and the 2 seed. This year though, with how wild hard the schedule is, screw trying to get the top seed, they need to focus only on winning the division and having the best season long output is more impetant than any individual game for that goal imo.

This team is so much better than last year!!

Being successful as a head coach isn't about scheme. I think people are misunderstanding that a lot. McDermott himself said on Pat McAfee that his role as a head coach is basically to let the coordinators coach and he is there to make sure he is coordinating things across the organization basically...a CEO sets expectations, sure, but they're not in implementation meetings talking about the tactical steps required to hit those expectations if that makes sense...McD said he is going to have to delegate a bunch of responsibilities in order to be able to take on the d coordinator position...he wasn't a quasi headcoach d coordinator, McD was solely a head coach. Frazier seems like a person who would actually be a better head coach than d coordinator in a lot of ways.

EJ Manuel & Josh Allen might both might a thought on the translating to wins, but overall good point.

Cam Newton & Andrew Luck...both broke down.

Not just attractive, but insanely talented...she's a very talented musician who plays instruments iirc Huh?

Not just Hawkeye, check her out in the Edge of Seventeen with Woody Harrelson, it's an incredible movie. This makes me happy for some reason (random people dating random people should not make me happy, but their personalities mesh really well I think!).

Tom, is that you?

It has come 10000x, but in what direction?

My first madden was madden 95 or 96 on pc... they had like an academy, where madden taught you different football fundamentals, like cover 3 vs cover 2. I used to play online a ton on madden 2007 for ps2... it's so sluggish now and the angles are all weird and defense is basically impossible, where in madden 07 you could shift your team, dictate a coverage and play defense with any player, and bait people into throwing to a hot route...they really just need to scrap the whole game and start from fresh code imo... like build an in home physics based engine and I'm hoping they've been working on that with a small team over the last few years...I want to get into madden again so bad, it just needs better online head to head play and offline franchise mode.

Seeing what's happened to Madden is so sad...I wasn't aware they've said they were legit going to try and fix the platform...going to do some digging there, but they've said that in the past too and then just added some feature that used to be in the game years ago back in. Like they need to unwind whatever crap happened when they switched to Xbox 360/ps3... it largely broke when they switched to that version of next gen, but then the damn ultimate team microtransaction bs started and the dev focus shifted on that and they couldn't spend enough time fixing the game...plus the decision to go to animation based game play instead of genuine physics based...

Do you know that's the case though? Also, do you know tre wasn't cleared for golf?

It really might be more sophisticated than that... I'm sure the pr/marketing/social media depts have metrics around engagement of social media posts (and I'm sure agents have that as well, as do media companies). Imagine Russ Brandon still running the team and there not being a wall between football ops and organizational ops... there's gotta be a better reason that players do that than to just publicly apply pressure, but I'm also a data analyst who people sometimes say has a utopian view of the way business should be run and this to me is perfect for trying to collect data to show the value of a player off the field as well and get places like espn to pick up the story because they see the engagement data of their audience with that social media scrubbing.

Right, then you watch the clips coming out of the practice and you realize he's being genuine.

Haha, because of the back...check out what Kincaid looks like blocking with his back injury in the PAC 12 champ game this past year compared with his other blocking film for someone suddenly having stiff feet.

Absolutely, but at the same time I'm sure they establish a draft value chart in advance have the operational maturity to stick to it to avoid making mistakes, or more so allowing potentially lame duck gms to burn the future to try and win now...in conference trades would require higher value assets than out of conference trades to score the same on that value chart I would think. On the flip side though, if you're close to a super bowl, that chart probably helps you keep from going all in for a superbowl and screwing your future...as well as it worked out for the rams, the odds of that going well were really low, and they had to have a bunch of highly unlikely events happen to beat Tampa Bay to even have a chance to win a super bowl... the rams kind of objectively screwed up big time, it just happened to work.

That's what I figured...I've pulled my lower back plenty (happens more often and easily...if I could store time in a bottle I guess)...the idea of squating with a pulled lower back is even more something I feel would be tough than turning side to side...being 6'9" or whatever and having to get low, that would be tough. This is phenomenal news that he is able to do that motion to the point he's hitting home runs.

This is great news just because of Brown's back right? Gotta think swinging a bat with active disc issues would not be easy or comfortable, right? Genuine question, I haven't had that type of injury.

Broncos might have wanted more if they were trading Miller in conference, though they weren't really in the running that year and it was a theoretical rental... just something to think about though in terms of compensation.

Haha and I also am sad of the way the world is shifting from long form meaningful content to tiny bleh "easy to consume" bleh.

TLDR! Haha, kidding, have you seen the length of some (most) of my posts?
