The rest of the league's teams are managed by men who are predictable, pathologically fear change and don't trust their players whatsoever to grasp what the Patriots do. The NFL is filed with PROCESS guys. PROCESS is predictable. How do you beat the Patriots? Have one member of your film unit obsess and study them full time, especially if you're in the AFC. You throw out every single play you ever ran this year and create brand new plays they've never seen before for their games. At the half time of the game against the Patriots, you throw out the first half plans, and have new ones just for the second half. The key to beating the Patriots is not letting them get tape on you and that requires a level of adaption these NFL coaches just can't handle. That's why the Patriots own the NFL. New England preys on the predictability of everyone else.

The only way this guy killed one without weapons is if this mountain lion was sick, emaciated or standing on just three legs or severely cross-eyed. It's not a fair fight otherwise. Not that you want a fight to ever be fair (always to your advantage) but if this is your average, healthy, hungry mountain lion I doubt it goes Mr. Jogger's way. Those animals are sneakily strong in getting prey in exposed positions. It's not like the guy was boxing with the mountain lion or unleashing Krav Maga. He was probably just your average guy punching and gouging whatever he could find furiously and exhausting himself in the process and that's when they get you. That's where any carried weapon gets those odds a little more 50/50. It's like going down a dark alley at 2am. The situational awareness buzzer should be going off to be a little prepared. Mountain lions aren't a problem in the east. I suppose if one happened to meander into Pennsylvania for the first time in 150 years, there'd be hunters who'd deliberately jog for the first time in their adult lives just for a chance to bag it.

I've never understood the logic of running or biking in mountain lion country without being armed with a knife, small handgun, etc. that gives you a fighting chance if you find yourself squaring off with a hungry mountain lion on his home turf. Do the runners and bikers think they will outrun a mountain lion? Do they think they are stronger than the mountain lion? There's no way Mr. Jogger Man killed a mountain lion with his bare hands. Not a chance.

I've made some DIY art projects with cards for family members who appreciate the historical look of the cards and they are various players across decades from their favorite teams. The best one I made was a small laqured table top of Milwaukee Bucks basketball cards from the 90s. Matched the team color with a paint from that era, with the cards underneath a laquer finish. You might see the idea around in sports bars. They call it "decoupage" on the internet. I call it basketball card table. Truth be told though, you can make pictures, wall clocks, etc. using the cards and some moderate DIY skill. They make great handmade gifts for Christmas or projects with your kids, especially if they have a favorite team. It's a cool way to see the different jerseys, hats, team colors, and even the hair styles over the decades.

My guess is it's a very painful, maybe even torn, Achilles tendon or a doctor suggesting it's going to happen. It has to be some outcome, that if it reaches a certain point, instantly means he's lost for an entire season. An achilles rupture would do that. If it was a knee you'd see it. If it was headaches or migraines, he probably wouldn't tolerate being under all those lights.

I voted yes. The actual football game on the field was ok. Tony Romo's prediction act is getting old quick for me. The rest of the NFL "experience" was terrible. Halftime show. An abomination of mediocre menagerie. Why can't the NFL find somebody to sing the national anthem without being weird about it. Just sing the song. The ads were a reflection of modern society. Recreational outrage, overly political, taking ourselves often way too seriously, and everyone is too afraid to offend. The result: Lots and lots of vanilla and mostly unfunny commercials. The Washington Post could literally make people cry at a birthday for an eight year old.

I don't think McVay is overrated. He, however, committed the blunder that every other coach in the NFL tends to do. NFL coaches sans Belichick, are very very predictable human beings. They run the same schemes, same plays they've run all year even in big games. The Patriots study film better than any other team. If they know what's coming, you're in deep trouble. It's why they were able to shut down the Chargers. It's why they exploited the Chiefs defense. They more than likely had a staffer study the Rams all year long. If you're a Patriots opponent and expect to beat them, you need to install a special gameplan just for them and hope your players are smart enough to figure it out in the week before the game. Not just a play or a series, but a WHOLE PLAN.

33-30 Rams. I think Wade Phillips is smart enough not to go out and pull a Bob Sutton and run the same ol' same ol' against the Patriots.

I'm an introvert and a "professional" extrovert, trained in public speaking, the country club chit-chat and the uncomfortable times sitting at a table with strangers. It's on a level of professional acting. I look like I belong but I'd love nothing more than to run for the exits and find a forest without a soul in it. Public speaking/events exhaust me. It's a 2:1 ratio. For every event I have to present or glad hand, I need twice the amount of alone time to recover. Besides being a podiatrist, the job in hell for me is a car salesman. Couldn't handle people all day, every day.

The Bills, Jets and Dolphins can continue just playing mediocre football for the sake of putting a product on the field or they can get ready to fight it out amongst each other when the Patriots empire comes to an end. ...and that will inevitably occur. Every team goes through a life cycle of rebuilding and competiton. All good things...

That's interesting. What are the details on uncredentialed visits? Is that legal per NFL rules or can teams do whatever they want in regards to that?

The NBA has a serious problem on their hands with these star player "trade me now" shenanigans. It was Kyrie Irving. Then Kawhi Leonard. Now Anthony Davis. The owners are going to do one of two things (or both). Lock the players out until its addressed in the new CBA; Collude collectively, just like MLB is doing to their free agents, against these player attempts. In this scenario, no team trades for AD and no team signs him in free agency either and he just sits...and sits...

The trophy breaking on television symbolizes the state of the NFL's Pro Bowl concept.

He's got a better shot than Bloomberg running as an independent. He is the human manifestation of Benadryl. If he had bonafide centrist positions in an age of hard right/hard left politics and media, he'd at least make it interesting. Does he offer anything besides being nicer than Trump and not as wacky as the Democrats? Does he have a real plan for anything or is he just another bored billionaire that enjoys basking in the glow of his own press?

The courts are not going to get involved in debating the President exercising emergency powers. No judge wants their name attached to that. I'm sure the Democrats will want them to but litigating and debating those powers has long reaching, substantive consequences for Presidents going forward. Democrats are so near-sighted. I wonder if they realize life goes on past the Trump Presidency.

I think Bruce Arians will be a one and done. He'll figure out the humidity and heat in Tampa Bay sucks and that he (and his body) don't have the desire it takes to be an NFL head coach anymore. I think Adam Gase will be a one and done. He's Rex Ryan redux. A guy who refuses to admit he needs to step back and evaluate what went wrong. Instead he'll just keep doing it wrong for a different team. I think Matt LeFleur will be a one and done. I see a mediocre season ahead and the Packers falling in love with a bigger, better name next offseason. Plus, the Packers will tire of the endless Dodgeball The Movie memes.

Single mothers are often in that situation due to their own poor decisions and impulse control. The body acceptance movement is doing overweight women absolutely no favors regarding their long term health. Comprehensive background checks for firearms is supported by the majority of gun owners. Men, white men especially, are too dumb to accept/admit they are depressed and/or mentally unwell and often lonely as we age. Instead of getting help, we expect substance abuse and poor behavioral choices to make us feel better until we inevitabily unravel or kill ourselves. Both Presidents Bush and Obama are fine people by all definition but were terrible Presidents.

Siege of Firebase Gloria (1989)

"DePodesta wrote Haslam an email arguing that the Jackson hire went against many of the characteristics of successful coaches they had discussed. Brown met with Haslam -- there's always a race to be the last one to talk to Haslam before a big decision -- and told him he thought hiring Jackson would be a bad call. "I hear you," Haslam said." In any field, a sign of a bad owner or manager is to go out of your way to hire intelligent people and then prevent them from doing the job you're paying them to do.

Probably a very unpopular opinion but I think she gets the attention she gets because media types, men and women a like, geek out over a person like this. They can't resist the "cute" "quirky" woman" that "speaks her mind" and does cool things like "dance as if nobody's looking", quotes gamer lingo and eats ice cream with Colbert. If any other woman in the Democratic Party said even 50% of the stuff she says, nobody in America would care.

Bob Sutton's achilles heel is what befalls many of these coaches old-time coaches. In high-pressure situations, they rely on what got them there instead of paying attention to what the film is telling you. Tony Romo is a smart guy but you aren't going to convince me there weren't guys in KC pointing out the tells in NE's offense the week before the game. The Patriots prey on the opposing team's predictability.

I think Biden will more than likely run because in his mind, the elder statesman play is a winning hand. Wouldn't doubt the "all chips into the center of the table" last run from Hilary Clinton as well.

Harris has absolutely zero chance. She's like the rest of these nobodys that are announcing. If she makes it to the first Democrat debate, she will have exceeded expectations. Donors are going to conserve the dry powder until after Biden and Clinton say they definetely are not running for President.

No. It wasn't an isolated incident. He's another Reuben Foster. Sure he's a talented football player but due to his poor decision making and impulse control, he's not on the field and he's always one bad Saturday night out on the town from another incident.

A solid takeaway from this "incident" is that you'll probably feel better cutting cable news out of your life. Cable "news" was always dubious but now they don't even pretend to do news. It's just a bunch of people slapping you around with their opinions. Don't you get enough of that here? ?
