  1. Venison's great stuff. I heard the gameyness is due to lactic acid and certain hormones built up in the muscle. So a buck during the rut is bound to be gamey, or a deer that isn't quickly killed. Diet is also important as I've had some corn fed deer here in Ohio that barely taste like venison. Venison definitley has it's unique flavor that makes it kind of a love/hate thing. Favorite recipe is a red wine marinade for ka-bobs.
  2. My most burning mistake post-nuclear wings was failing to wash my hands before going to the bathroom.
  3. That's my problem. They really are not. Obviously the same theories came up back then and they were addressed or simply monitored. There's really no credible confirmations there, can't say I want to waste time digging further at this point.
  4. I'm sorry, based on these documents, your conclusions seem even more pathetic. The first one (32144493) is a report about a talk given by Oren Fenton Potito. The 2 shooter material is all said by Potito, who, based on some research, is a bit of a far-right conspiracy nut. It confirms nothing, just reports what Potito discussed. The second document (32113033) is a deposition of David Belin, who appears to deny CIA involvement in various matters. Helms is questioning whether Oswald is affiliated to the CIA in any way and I don't see an answer by Belin. It is neither a confirmation or denial. What am I missing? I know you are reading all this on the fly, but perhaps if you're going to select certain documents to state your case, you could actually make sure they definitively back up what you're trying to state as fact because, to me, they don't at all. You're losing legitimacy.
  5. Wow. You are impressive with ignoring the remainder of the details of the letter. How about at the very top of that page 3 where Hoover wishes the Dallas police would stop revealing all their info on the case? "They (Dallas police) did not really have a case against Oswald until we gave them our information. We traced the weapon, we identified the handwriting, we identified the fingerprints on the brown bag. (Start of next paragraph) We were able to identify the bullets as coming from that gun." Paragraph 4: "We have the bullets that were fired and will keep them" As to your "interesting nugget", it is clear to me Hoover is convinced Oswald killed the president but was concerned about Oswald contacting the Cuban embassy in Mexico about his wife's visa and his letter to the Soviet Embassy were not central to the assassination but would create a huge international mess if those details were revealed and tied to the case. Hoover preferred the Attorney General investigate and present the report against Oswald rather than the Warren Commission so that these sensitive, unrelated details would be protected. His concerns actually validate the Warren Commission as legit to me. The overall tone of this document implies the public had a lot of questions back then as to whether Oswald really killed the president acting alone, and Hoover felt they needed to be convinced without creating international tension with Cuba and the Soviet Union.
  6. Went up and camped around Munising two summers ago. Pictured Rocks area is awesome, did a kayak tour and shipwreck tour. Chapel Rock beach was a 3 mile hike each way but so worth it. The sand is like brown sugar and Superior is just an amazing cobalt color. Great pictures of the areas we went here: http://www-personal.umich.edu/~jensenl/visuals/album/2005/mich/ Need to go back because we never got out by the Porcupines or East to Whitefish point. It's about 9.5 hours from Cleveland, but always worth the long drive.
  7. That indirect free kick was genius. I just wish Klinsmann would have coached better defense. That was the one part of his teams that drove me nuts. I'm hoping we'll go European for our next coach.
  8. No. They outplayed the Germans. Their goalie made some phenominal saves, and the ref missed a handball in the box that would have given us a PK.
  9. USMNT 2002 was a good team. Beat Mexico and got unlucky against Germany 1-0 in the quarterfinals. We definitely outplayed the Germans overall. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport3/worldcup2002/hi/matches_wallchart/germany_v_usa/newsid_2049000/2049234.stm
  10. I was envious of the plan, but wary of the execution. It is the Browns after all. At least they had a good plan this time.
  11. EJ seemed like a hard working, fantastic guy when he was here. I don't hate him and wanted him to succeed. Watching him over time, beyond any coaching, I felt like he couldn't handle the mental rigors and decision making of being an NFL QB. I firmly believe that. One play he didn't recognize the blitz. Another he didn't recognize single coverage. Didn't recognize zone coverage. Another he didn't set his feet properly. It just seemed to rotate from one thing to another. So any opponent that game plans to mess with him, will find success. Last week was unplanned, we'll see what Baltimore does. I will happily eat crow if he proves me wrong.
  12. All we have to do is show/throw a lot of defensive complexity and he will collapse like a cheap tent.
  13. Playing the national anthem to honor a fallen soldier is very different (for some) than playing the national anthem to honor our country. I get that for you it is not. For others, they feel their reality of what this country is differs so much from the ideal that they respectfully kneel to call attention to it. Picture that and let it sink in for a minute.
  14. I just walked into this and respect you as a poster, but you should really stop pretending it's a hypothetical argument. While you originally wrote it as one, you clearly do not mean it to be one. Or maybe you can help me understand your point, for me, taking a specific situation and turning it into a hypothetical usually means opening up the situation and generalizing it so as to explore the principles at work and that they apply in any situation. I guess your wording implies to me this isn't about the players anymore, just two different philosophies which could or would apply anywhere the national anthem is being played. Which would open it up to anyone. But that's not what you wanted. Ignoring intentions, I would say LeSean and any other players who ignore the moment and carry on quietly with something else are being intolerant of the national anthem by ignoring thus disrespecting it. That does not seem kind or generous, but somewhat tolerant by staying quiet while also intolerant at the same time. Has LeSean had to face any consequences for his actions other than people like JK calling him out about it? Has he been assaulted, lost his job or thrown in jail? Luckily for the alien, we don't live in a society that is rigidly divided into 2 groups.
  15. Thanks. Yea, no way Shady. Don't like that. Don't confuse that idiot Trump with our country's pride.
  16. Hughes made a great statement, except for questioning why Jimbo is out on the field. That is not his business, it was divisive, the rest is very acknowledging and respectful. All this should have been done behind closed doors. I think because Jim did not, it motivated Jerry to go public. I did not see the game. If LeSean was stretching while the anthem was playing that crosses my line for being disrespectful. I think the kneeling makes a statement but is respectful because they at least assume a still position and focus that respectfully acknowledges the anthem. Stretching, doing other things and ignoring the anthem, not respectful. Interesting to see what the NFL does moving forward. Last thing they ever want is to lose customers with things like this. Honestly, I feel they should fine LeSean for the stretching.
  17. Thanks for doing all this work OP, excellent analysis. Given the experience and past of this O-line, it makes me think they haven't fully mastered Dennison's terminology/offense yet. Mistakes, mis-communication, and aren't adjusting fast enough yet. Problem is, I think this is when O-linemen are most likely to get hurt as people are out of position making them vulnerable. Definitely got my fingers crossed things improve quickly.
  18. If you refuse to consider that Zay ran the wrong route or made the wrong adjustment then I understand why things don't make sense to you.
  19. Certainly receivers approach the game this way. In reality, when your body momentum is carrying you hard the opposite way of the ball and you only have a second or so to adjust? IMO very few, if any, receivers could have made that catch. In this instance, I equate it to trying to say every right handed NFL quarterback running hard left should be able to zip in a 20 yard pass back to their right.
  20. Wow, so much commentary. Read through some, but not all so please forgive if this was covered. This is what I saw from the clip: Zay did a nice job with the inside fake but got too worried about the inside safety and broke off his pattern to the flag instead of continuing an outside shoulder fade to back corner of EZ like he should have run. His slowing and slight stumble was him thinking too much IMO. TT didn't make the best throw but we don't know if he was trying to adjust it at the last split second. Even so, if Zay was running the fade he's in a far better position and makes that grab. It's a shame TT couldn't last-second adjust his throw more to get him the ball but when has he ever been able to? This one's on Zay, with an acknowledgement of TT's limitations as a QB.
  21. I think your math is off, = 0.2146 or 21%
  22. All this talk of best theme songs has made me crave the best: Thanks Ennio. "Ecstasy of Gold" at 8:10 with Susanna Riggaci is almost as good.
  23. I think if you're flexible and willing to move/leave if there's too much BS going on around you it'll be fine. My son was 6 when I brought him and my 9 year old daughter. They understood there would be bad language and probably some people acting silly but it was great! That was 5 years ago and we've always had an excellent time. We always sit upper deck but not on the corners. But I certainly would never let them sit by some seriously drunk or obnoxious ahole. That's just trouble waiting to happen.
