  1. Old Man Rivers burned me week 1. I will not be making that mistake again with my last entry lol. I'm going Cardinals over Lions. Lions appear to be a complete mess and the Cardinals are on fire. Which of course means Detroit will win but I digress. If I am successful this week I will continue to pick against the Jets and Lions. I have used up the Bills and Packers so far.
  2. The throw on a rope to Foster was one of the plays his rookie year that gave me a lot of hope Josh could be the man. He was getting tackled and still got that ball right to where it needed to be!
  3. Did you read the article? Or just get your panties in an immediate bunch? Without counting words over 50% of the article is directly related to sports. For example: The WNBA dedicated its season to Taylor and the Say Her Name movement. Before the opening game of the WNBA season in July, the New York Liberty and Seattle Storm held a 26-second moment of silence. Taylor was 26 at the time she was killed. Her name is on the back of team jerseys, and has been inked on shoes in both the WNBA and NBA. NFL players were allowed to wear a helmet decal with her name during season openers. "We are dedicating this season to Breonna Taylor, an outstanding EMT who was murdered over 130 days ago in her home," Liberty player Layshia Clarendon said in July.
  4. Not PFF but I love this article. Seriously take 5 minutes and give it a read with the benefit of hindsight! If Josh Allen succeeds, the Bills will have outsmarted basically all regular humans and the entirety of math itself
  5. How are you guys falling for nonsense like this? So much "they" and "the left" in this thread. I want to ask a few questions: 1. Have you heard anyone in real life talk about this? 2. Had you head of blackspot before this? 3. Why does 1 twitter account with 65k followers (of whom many are likely bots) get to be the voice of "the left"? This is just one of those things that a small minority pushes forward and the other side gets their pitch forks out for. With how much the Dems have done that over the last 4 years how can you be so blind when the right does it? I am amazed at the things people here will fall for as if they are actually happening or an actual thing to be worried about. Please google and dig instead of just getting angry. You guys are up in arms about a bunch of improv jazz artists. Think about that for a second. Here is what google brought me: https://heavy.com/news/2020/09/adbusters-white-house-siege-september-17/ Since first announcing the siege in July, Adbusters has changed how the siege is going to work. It’s now promoting 50 days of nonviolent improv jazz on street corners and in front of federal buildings all over the country. This is the new focus, rather than a siege in front of the White House, according to Adbusters’ website. The website refers to this as a “carnival of joyful resistance” in their Tactical Briefing
  6. I'm just going to wait. When the ps4 launched I bought an extra one to try and sell but they were everywhere! I have a strong feeling that there will be no shortage of ps5s when they actually launch. There is no way Sony will miss out on Black Friday with their new console. A weird place to get good deals on system's is BJs. They almost always have a pack with an extra controller and a game or 2 for the same price as just the system. That is my hope for Black Friday anyways. My wife is big on not opening things early so she will try to make me wait until Christmas day. Luckily she has no idea what they systems look like so I will put my ps4 in the box and "open" that on Christmas!
  7. I also picked the Bills lol. I think the jags are tanking and as much as i think its over for Rivers, I still think he's better than brisset.
  8. Jags/colts. I picked the colts in my survivor winner take all with a pot over 10k. Cmon old man rivers!
  9. I thought the same thing! What have I been doing with my life? Lol Happy Birthday, thank you for creating my favorite site on the internet!
  10. Wegmans has a pretty good vegan cream cheese (tofutti) and we found pretty good vegan cheddar shreds (miyokos). Im gonna give it a shot. It will be the most expensive buffalo dip ever lol. I appreciate it! Aldis is owned by the same company as trader joes. If you have one of those close to you check there.
  11. Awesome thanks! I prefer spicy and or dill but ill give these a shot too!
  12. My wife and daughter have gluten/dairy issues. Mind sharing this recipe please? Can't ever get these to turn out right lol. Care to share your recipe please?
  13. I think the bolded is a really good idea. Some here take the laissez-faire moderation as a cue to get incredibly rude and disrespectful. I like to come here to challenge my beliefs but the mud slinging is something I can't abide. There are a lot of smart people here who sound really dumb once the insults start flying. It makes taking any point serious very difficult when the person making it starts acting like a child. Just because you can do those things doesn't mean you should. This place would be a lot better (imo) if the insults didn't happen. All conservatives aren't racists just like all liberals aren't leftists, marxists, commies, etc, etc... I often wonder how many times some posters actually interact with real people and if they talk to them the same way. Some of my close friends are Trump supporters and I was a Bernie supporter. I can count on 0 fingers how many times we treated each other the way some people treat others here. It's okay to disagree. At the end of the day none of us have any idea how to run an entire country especially one the with 300+ million people and that is as large as the US and a melting pot of cultures to boot. We are all just making an educated guess. (I will admit some are more educated than others lol).
  14. Shouldn't every candidate be judged on their own? Saying you will never vote a party is a very dangerous thought process imo. Here is mine: 2000: Gore - Bush was a legacy and I liked Gore. Bush seems like a great guy to have a beer with but not someone I would want running the country. 2004: Kerry - I really did not like the handling of 9/11 and the war machine ramping up. It became clear that Cheney was running the country and we were making a lot of international gaffes in the name of money. WMDs and the destabilization of the middle east directly at our hands while being in bed with Saudi Arabia was the first time I really started to be weary of the direction of the country. 2008: McCain - Lost some friends to the war/conflict/whatever and McCain's status as a POW/veteran made me feel like he would be the best person to handle detangling ourselves from the middle east. 2012: Obama - I bought into the idea that he would be able to be more successful implementing his goals not having to worry about getting re-elected. I was wrong lol. 2016: Third Party - both Trump and Clinton were disgusting choices imo. Trump is a con man and Clinton is a con-woman. She felt that she deserved the nod and the DNC did everything in their power (including screwing Bernie) to get her the bid. As much as I dislike Trump, knowing she didn't get to rig an election was a small benefit. 2020: Biden - not the best candidate I will admit but Trump is embarrassing. His twitter beefs, mocking of the disabled reporter, race baiting, and the way he carries himself has made me turn to the lesser of 2 evils. Reading through this made me kind of sad and reminded how terrible the 2 party system is. This November will be my 6th election that I am eligible to vote in. I have voted FOR someone three times (Gore, McCain, Obama). The rest of my votes have been of the well I guess type.
  15. I tried to put one together but couldn't get enough interest. I had it pretty much together as far as planning. Hosted on yahoo. Regular snake draft 12 teams. Short bench (4 or 5). Weeks 1-3 were pool play. Week 4 started the guillotine with 3 division winners and highest point total left getting the byes. Teams 5-12 play each other. Losers cut and manually remove all players from their teams. Week 5 the 8 teams left play each other, week 6 quarterfinals, week 7 semis, week 8 finals. This would have allowed us to play the season out twice and still finish in week 16. Teams would could either be completely reset to week 1 or redrafted. Faab for waivers (I think this is the only fair way to do waivers period but different conversation). Unfortunately everything had to be done manually on yahoo. I believe fleaflicker has it for free but I've never used them.
  16. Disciplinary action against an employee is private as it should be. At your place of work, if you got written up, should everyone in the office know what happened and why?
  17. John Thompson was a GIANT. I saw him a few years ago (maybe more than a few they all kind of run together lol) at the dome and I couldn't believe how big he was. When I was a kid those Georgetown SU games were amazing. The intensity, the talent, the rivalry. As much as I disliked Georgetown this is all time trash talk! https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/dc-sports-bog/wp/2015/02/12/throwback-thursday-manley-field-house-is-officially-closed/
  18. During one of the lakers games there was a fan who realized he was "sitting" next to a very attractive woman. He put his arm up like he was putting it around her and you could see him smugly smiling while doing it. I laughed harder at that then I should have.
  19. I love Chris Thompson in PPR. Until he gets hurt. Which is every year. I don't think Armstead is someone to draft incredibly high but in that mid round sweet spot where I start taking flyers he will be a target.
  20. This just opens up so many more questions. So videos are the end all be all? Nothing could have happened to provoke the crowd into attacking him? You trust the cops but not the DA, aren't they all a part of the US judicial system? If you recognize there are flaws in the judicial system, can't you recognize that people of color might also feel the same way? If you get to pick and choose what part of the judicial system you don't trust couldn't you see a scenario isn't it only fair that other people get to as well? I'm sorry to pepper all of these questions at you but I am just trying to open my mind to your pov.
  21. What's "interesting" is how Blake is a not given due process over his sexual assault arrest but this kid should be given every benefit of the doubt. I wonder why that is.
  22. Poorly phrased question that I reworded. Person A has a gun and threatens person B with gun. Person B chases after person A. Person A shoots person B. Can person A claim self defense? I don't think they should but I was wondering about it.
  23. Does one lose the right to claim self defense if they start the situation? Any of our resident LEO that can answer that question? Seems like an easily exploitable loophole if so! I think we can agree that in this instance it would be a plausible scenario. So why would the kid being arrested be a tragedy? Why are you so sure that he is innocent and only acting in self defense? Do we trust law enforcement or don't we? If he was arrested shouldn't we believe that there is reasonable cause for the arrest? If they charged him with murder 1 shouldn't we believe that they have evidence that would help support that charge?
  24. I didn't say he did. I am asking what the law would say about a situation like that.
  25. I'm asking this honestly because I have no idea what the answer is... If I show up someplace with a gun and threaten people who in turn respond to that threat by chasing me and acting in self defense, do I then get to start shooting and claim self defense? I guess another way to ask it is if I am the instigator of a situation and threaten people who defend themselves do I then get to shoot them and claim self defense?
