Wonder if hurricane Hilary had any impact on the focus and what players had to do that live in the LA area during the week?

Back in 2012, when I cut the cord, basically everything you really needed, minus live sports was on Netflix. Netflix used to be so insanely incredible and you could get movies in the mail also, so even if they didn't have what you wanted online you could get it delivered in two days basically. Hulu would let you watch basically live shows the next day and YouTube had a bunch of stuff on it top that isn't there anymore, and network tv had really decent stuff too and you could get that in hd with a $15 set of rabbit ears (still can)... not sure that a 2012 cord cutter is necessarily an early adopter, but was still way ahead of the majority of people...then everyone started doing it and all the companies tried to get into streaming and now it sucks...Netflix used to basically have all the stuff that is now segmented. I will say though that the ESPN bundle is amazing because you get all the sabres games for like $12 a month or whatever...worth mentioning I basically cut out all live sports from my life for a while other than the bills...

Any chance it's McD trying to get some bulletin board material?

Agree on being shut down until it's good, not just good enough. That's something I don't understand about the whole best ability is available ility. Look at how great Gabe Davis has looked in camp. Why wouldn't he have sat longer with the high ankle sprain to let it heal more and allow him to be more explosive at the end of the year? They did the same thing playing him against the Chiefs in 2020 I believe and it really cost them as he should have been inactive. Allen should have been sat down for a week or two last year too...just because you can play doesn't mean you should, give the depth a chance and let players heal as much as possible so when they come back you're getting an effective player...I don't get it.

The biggest issue is how this makes women who have been actually sexually assaulted less likely to report it and be believed when they do report. You have zero idea what her motivations were, but clout?! Clout from who exactly...the lawyer now that's a different matter.

Did I say anywhere at all that she shouldn't face consequences? Or that they shouldn't be significant? My post is simply in response to the person who said that the consequences should ruin her forever... Like Ben Roethlisberger got to stay in the league and plenty of people were talking about him in terms of Xs and Os...it's the blue pill (or red pill or whatever) hypocrisy I'm pushing back against...she should face significant consequences for her actions, but ruined forever, come on that's hyperbolic and goes against the system of justice we have here.

I don't know about you, but I have done way way less (like said something to someone maybe I shouldn't have when I was in high school) and that stuff wakes me up in the middle of the night sometimes...I have a feeling she is going to be facing this her whole life as it is.

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

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.

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.

I have a Lee Evans jersey, I never wear it though (it's the dark drought era jersey...yuck)

Reminds me of TKO...freaking Michael Vick

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...

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...

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

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.

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...

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.

Their stuff is so cool and there is a sub reddit for that also with that same name.

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!

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.

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
