He called us names!

Off topic, but my favorite "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" story in recent years is the one I keep hearing from old timers regarding millenials "whining" about how they can't afford houses. I never get tired of hearing about how a guy with a highschool education, working an unskilled labor position, at a time when you had minimal competition from women and minorities for jobs, before economic globalization, a few short years after the worlds' manufacturing capability outside the U.S. was reduced to rubble but before the emergence of cheap labor from China, and way before basic necessities like shelter were treated as the preferred safe haven asset class for investors here and abroad, was able to save their salary for three whole months while supporting a family of 7 to buy a house in the burbs. Its that damn avocado toast!

Of all the Chick Fil A dipping sauces you identify as Polynesian?

Its 2020. Please refer to us as Low-melanin American.

McDaniels would already be a HC if he hadn't left Indy at the altar in favor of some shady redux of the Belichick-Parcells succession deal. Why would anyone in their right mind bring McD in after he reneged on the Indy position?

Think of it a little differently, as in a scenario where a GM or Owner has a bias, consciously or subconsciously, and thinks that no African American coach or executive gives them a better chance of winning than their white counter parts. It seems unthinkable, but then again we saw similar attitudes toward black QBs. Less nefariously, people often hire those that they relate to better. Often people who look like themselves and share more similar backgrounds.

Hi! You seem cute. Lets chat on PM. Wanna see my pics?

Da fuq are you talking about?

Thats what makes it all so confusing for conspiracy theorist simpletons like me. Pereira says he gave himself up. The NFL says it happens all the time and the ruling was correct. But the rule book says something different and the NFL has been silent about this discrepancy. Seems like it would be pretty easy to point to the page and section that me and the other idiots are missing but nothing. Just "we got it right. nothing to see here." And that just fuels more conspiracy theories among me and the other nutjobs.

Joel Osteen was reportedly their first choice.

If NYC was in their earpieces during that process and helped them determine their ultimate ruling then we have a major problem.

I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind. However, I am surprised that more people simply do not care that an officiating team overturned a scoring play on the field without going to video review and their justification is that the letter of the rule does not need to be observed in this one solitary instance. Their position is that the returner does not need to down the ball as described in the rules as long as "common sense" suggests he meant to down the ball, as judged by the official. First, I fail to see it as common sense that the returner doesn't need to observe 3 rules and take a knee or call fair catch. Seems like a reasonable request to me. If a punt returner doesn't call fair catch and tosses it to the ref, he gets lit up, the ball is live, and everyone talks about what a bonehead play he made. Second, if common sense is going to be the new rule I demand it be applied consistently. Instead we got letter of the law on the blind side block. Looks like I am one of the few who thinks its a slippery slope to circumvent the rule book because "common sense". I'll wrap it up by asking which other rules people are comfortable with the officials ignoring if they determine the effect on the game is too great?

Thats my main issue with it. What transpired between the initial ruling on the field and the call being overturned was inexplicable. I have never seen that before in all my years of watching football.

If by whining you mean comparing like population to like population. You claimed that black coaches are fairly or perhaps over-represented in the NFL while failing to acknowledge the demographic among players. Are black coaches not closer in percentage to the player demographic due to lack of interest in the sport? Lack of interest in coaching? You tell me, in your typically level headed and well reasoned fashion. SJW. weepy fem spot. And I'm the one hot and bothered??? You're melting down, not unlike a unit of snow.

There are literally riots in the street whenever whitey gets hired. I have a dream, that one day a white man can get a fair shake in America!! Until then, we shall overcome!!!

So much irony. I addressed your terrible point regarding representation. You went full FleaMoulds (you should never go full FleaMoulds), dodged my points completely, and moved the goal posts to another continent. I guess if I'm a boomer its time to change your diapers.

100% correct. The rule was all about giving opportunity. Its a bridge measure to help get the league to a point where the notion that minorities not being given a fair crack at coaching, front office, and ownership positions will be looked upon as silly as separate drinking fountains and bathrooms.

Show me another profession in the United States where the workforce is overwhelmingly (75%) black/minority and the management and ownership is overwhelmingly white. Fruit picking in California? 18th and early 19th century agriculture? You CAN'T tell me that some NFL owners do NOT think that black coaches are inherently less capable when these are the same guys who thought black QB's were categorically less capable than their counterparts. Racism and prejudice are not logical. Common sense arguments do not apply.

I would like to know why after all the s@$^ we have witnessed these past few years with calls being made to the letter of the law, no matter how absurdly removed from the original intent of the rule, the officials determined that this one call needed "common sense"? The league's policy has been too effin bad for years, but for 5 minutes on Saturday there was suddenly room to contemplate the spirit of the rule. All those catches overturned to the letter of the rule no matter how common sense they were and the NFL told them tough luck, the competition committee will look at it in the offseason. Belichick has made a living on poorly written rules. Did anyone shut down his sheisty substitutions vs Baltimore in the playoffs? No, the league addressed it AFTER the season. Did the league do anything about all the pick plays he was running? That one kickoff was the exception. Why?

They're required to submit pictures and DNA samples to confirm the level of melanin. The NFL does NOT need another Soul Man, tanning pills fiasco.

McDaniels has a deal in place with Belichick to inherit the HC spot in New England after Bill moves on. Much like the deal Belichick had with Parcells. I don't see McDaniels going anywhere. Especially not after the way he did the Colts. Chargers talk is crazy. QB is not LAC's problem and Brady is hardly an upgrade over Rivers right now. Chicago or maybe Denver makes sense to me.

Then man up and tell her that unless shes a client she needs to find some place else to socialize or Fergy is going to have to shiv a mofo. Option B, walk into the lobby with your pants around your ankles and shout "cut the S@#$! Are we gonna f@#$ or not?!?!"

Instruct your admins to tell this woman that they were recently chastised by the boss for spending too much time with personal conversations at the expense of work and she will get them both in hot water.
