The Senior Bowl practice sessions are underway. Two leading pass rush candidates showed up with short arms; Courtney Upshaw's arm length is 31.0 inches. Melvin Ingram's is also 31 inches. It is well recognized that scouts and coaches like to see longer arms on their pass rushers which helps them disengage from o-line blockers. For comparison, guards Osemeli and Glen both had arm lengths of over 35 inches.
Will the length of Upshaw and Ingram cause these players to fall from their lofty positions on many mock draft estimates?
Arm length is very important for shedding those blocks, but any word on his hips? Does he swivel? Can he turn, you know, and really sink his hips, or are they too tight? How about the feet? Does he have the good feet? On a scale of low to high, how would you describe his motor?

Thomas issued more of a statement in responding to Roberto Luongo's perceived snub than he did for turning down his invite to the White House.

Is he the new sheriff in town?
He sure is. Tough as nails with a heart of gold. Word is he has a very positive attitude about those pesky retroviruses.

Bah Bah Bah. Again, do you think Alaska should just give it's oil away? To BP no less? In your piss poor example[natural resources vs infrastructure, military, etc, etc] all those things WERE paid for by taxes. There may not be a user fee, but taxs paid for them.
I'm pretty sure lybob just gave you permission to excavate his yard in search of fossil fuels, precious metals, minerals, etc. free of charge or permission. I would stop asking questions and start planting some charges.

I can oblige your request for persons of media moment. Let's see, there is Nancy Kerrigan, Dudley Manlove, Rutanya Alda, Paula Jones, Hardy Amies, and Carrot Top.
That is no doubt an on-point response to your question.

The guy second from the right is also someone of consequential media moment.
And then:

And before this becomes too convoluted, ieatcrayonz took this off-topic.
No, no, no, no and NO. I clearly said people that I consider to be of marginal media moment as defined by me, NOT YOU. Are you at all capable of responding within the stiflingly limited yet extremely vague parameters I have provided? Can you not follow seemingly simple yet ridiculous instructions? Don't you know that it is your solemn duty to answer the questions posed to you, in the form that they've been extended to you, minding all qualifications, else you are guilty of maliciously leading the thread off topic? Can you not comprehend that this thread is only to flow from this very post ignoring all prior posts?

The study concluded that women might report less pain if they "listened better."
Fascinating.

It's never a bad time to highlight the ills of drinking and driving. Its relevance spans any and all post topics, subject matter notwithstanding.
Really? Can you provide me one person who I might consider to be marginally of media moment who may not entirely agree to that point? And please provide a youtube video.

"Cougars" is unacceptable.
But "The Fighting Mexicans" is okay?????????
They took the Notre Dame logo and just put a sombrero on it. Pretty lazy work if you ask me, but at least it doesn't offend anyone.

Keep singing Happy Days Are Here Again and maybe you'll believe it
Thats the way it goes. For now Obama's various jobs initiatives will be credited for the decreasing rate of unemployment, even though its more a product of a shrinking workforce as demoralized job seekers give up. Should Obama see a second term and should the economy sustain a meaningful recovery in that term, its quite likely that the unemployment rate will actually increase, as a wave of workers return to the workforce. I'm sure Obama's critics will jump at the chance to paint that statistic as proof that his policies have failed.
For now, praise and adulation while the data indicates failure, and down the line, look for scathing criticism when the data points to a real recovery in employment.

That is the second-most ridiculous criticism of a president I've ever seen.
(The most ridiculous was "Bush kills puppies and kittens!")
I'll see your dead puppies and raise you...

The significant other and her sister just purchased !@#$ing March of the Mother!@#$ing Penguins
Is that special edition narrated by Samuel L Jackson? I heard its amazing.

They changed the name to "The Fighting Mexicans"

You can't block off 20 minutes?
20 minutes? You wish. Read the original recipe, Chef. It takes at least an hour.
You need to boil water, thats like 8 minutes, cook pasta, another 10 minutes, strain pasta, uhhh 1 minute to be thorough, toss pasta in a pan with egg, cheese and pickle juice, thats like 4 minutes. So 23 minutes, IF you get the perfect cheese to pickle ratio on the first try, which has never been done, mind you. 23 minutes, figure third times a charm, and voila, the perfect retatta in just over one hour.
Sure, you can try tossing easy mac with hard boiled egg and pickle relish, but its not the same thing. Retatta requires patience and whole lot of love.

Not even close
Anyone have some pickle juice and pasta? J8 needs a snack
You're making me hungy dev. I've been meaning to make a big batch of that for weeks, but I can never seem to find enough time for such an involved dish.

Are you a pleasure model?

No, I'm taking credit for creating the environment that encourages such meltdowns. I am the Sith Lord of childishness...
Would you characterize your motives for fostering such an environment as punitive in nature?

Oh how I remember how polite and eloquent Juror8 used to be...
Now look what we've done!
He was a true gentleman, until LA broke the unwritten rule. LA's transgression may never be known, but the boy who cried racism has now resorted to calling us all "homos" and "queers" and goading anyone who happens upon this cluster-f$%^ of a thread to insult him "with certitude." Well done, Juror 8, well done.

Just goes to show you how incestuous Washington, DC is.
I'd take that more as evidence of the blatant opportunism thats commonplace in the district, and the gullibility of the American people.
Appointing a former Bain exec should receive about as much press as Romney's role and record with Bain, and that is none (unless the topic is the record of success). Neither Romney or the Obama Admin should have to defend Bain's right to exist, as VC/PE should have never been maligned in the first place. Any attempt to whip the chuds into a frenzy simply cannot be passed up.
Why the Repubs initiated an attack on the financial sector is completely baffling. Kind of like steering the ship into an iceberg in hopes that the crew will lose confidence in the Captain.

1. I dont know where you're getting "klan rallies" from.
2. Yes, I mentioned the "Turner Diaries" with respect to LA. That is between him and me.
3. The conversation got off topic when people began referencing my personal politics. Go back and read the first 20 posts yourself and make your own assessment.
Did I have to dignify those posts with responses? No. Did my responses to their posts take the conversation further off-topic? Yes. But did I initiate those lines of discussions? No.
But keep denying the obvious and carrying LA's water. You play good B word too.
Out of the three points above, tell me exactly, with support, where I'm wrong. And don't forget the bolded point.
1. How should your remark directed at LA concerning
be construed other than a Klan rally? When followed up with a quip about the Turner Diaries, the innuendo was rather obvious."groups" that you frequent, at night, and illuminated by the moon2. Yes you did.
3. I'd say you initiated that topic of discussion in post #1, where you included your own, self-described complicated, political views, as if they were at all relevant to what you intended to discuss. Why bother qualifying your opinion with which way you vote?
And we are in total agreement that you continued to lead your own thread in the "wrong" direction by responding to comments regarding your politics with posts which would make Proust blush, before of course you accused me of hijacking your thread.
What exactly am I denying? Is Hooked on Phonics, a product for slow children, a racial epithet now? That was an insult I recall tossing around liberally in middle school. If it now has racial undertones then I've never seen it, and if thats not what you're referring to, then I have no idea.
-
Now you're just playing the race card; that's pathetic.
I've disagreed with just about everyone in here. I've had some decidedly uncivil debates with OCinBuffalo and others. Heck, I've even bullshitted and joked with you about racial stereotypes.
Where were the claims of bigotry?
Can anyone find any, ever? *Patiently Waiting*
Exactly. You can't, because I haven't.
You're playing the race card...unabashedly.
And in fact, I never called LABillzfan a "bigot." You can play around with the innuendo, but shouldn't that be equally applicable. Hmmmm..... Give it some thought, you'll get there.
At the end of the day though, LABillzfan is a despicable and reprehensible creature. He knows what he wrote. I know what he wrote. You must not have caught it. Ok, that's fine; but don't defend the indefensible on grounds that you're not fully cognizant of.
This is not about a simple disagreement or difference of opinion. I wish it were. If it were, I wouldn't feel compelled to spit in LABillzfan's face in the presence of his family. I wouldn't do that, of course, because I like to think that I have, at least, a modicum of class. However that represents my level of contempt for him. And trust me, it's very well founded.
Of course words on a forum can be edited, and meaning adjusted, but I read what I read. And we'll leave it that.
I just hope that you don't continue trying to carry his water.
The only thing I saw was your unabashed insinuation that he attends klan rallies and suggestion that LA read the Turner Diaries.
But again it was I who played the race card, just like I led the conversation off topic. And please continue on the distinction between suggesting a board member is a member of the KKK while not making any claims of bigotry. Its these types of minute distinctions which seem to be at the heart of most your arguments.
-
Yeah, you're a moderate conservative all right.
Not only are Obama's detractors racially motivated, but now disagreeing with J8 is pure bigotry. Notice how we came full circle?
-
I do this with OC all the time and now I'll extend the same coutesy to you.
1. You mentioned a bunch of points and in you second to last point mentioned the "Kanye issue." (Post#24)
2. I responded to your post in turn. (Post#26)
3. YOU ignored everything else that I said in post#26 and just responded to the "Kanye issue." (Post#27)
4. I responded to your comment that Jesse Jackson And Elijah Cummings said that Bush didn't care about black people (because my point was that it was national media and their pundits who were making those comments about Obama not unaffiliated politicians or activists):
youtube.com/watch?v=2K8R2PDmbmA
(Aside: If you didn't know before, there is a SUBSTANTIAL difference between Joe Blow making that comment and an affiliated media personality making the comment to a national audience - that you continue to try to distinguish that is unfortunate).
5. You made some idiotic comment about "list of approved political and media figures." (Post#33)
6. I mentioned to you that I never said anything about "political figures," yet those are the folks who you referenced (Post#35)
7. Then you said that " asked for examples of such criticisms of Bush," and elaborated on that point. (Post#37)
Your response in Post #37 completely ignores points 1-6. I didn't ask for those "examples of such criticisms of Bush" in that context. The origins of our conversation was your point in post #27 since you ignored everything else I mentioned in post #26. So we stuck with the Kanye point and elaborated on that.
Can't you follow a !@#$ing train of thought?
You've conflated points, posts, ideas, and assertions in a weird way that suggests that your mind doesn't allow for any organization of thought.
LA wanted to know why the topic has gone so much off course. Here is the answer. It's dolts like you who deviate a thought into the nethersphere and then try to bring it back abruptly as if one !@#$ing post 9 posts removed is in response to something that wasn't discussed in full bredth for the last 7 hours.
Can you !@#$ing follow that?
!@#$ing. Dolt.
So you derailed your own thread regarding the interpretation of economic metrics with your assertion that the "criticism toward Obama is way worse" (post #15) expanded on this claim (post #23), and concluded that my post (#24) was the one that led the discussion away from the original topic?
Fine work, gumshoe. I'd love to get into the total contradiction and hypocrisy which runs rampant through this post, but now you're just wasting my time.

As I am sure some of you are aware, the Coachella lineup was announced last week and tickets to the event, subsequently went on sale last Friday. Here is a comprehensive, interactive listing of the lineup, which allows you to view the artist's Facebook, Youtube page, etc: Coachella Lineup
Me and 3 other friends that I grew up with scored tickets, along with a 4 night car camping pass before the concert sold out. One of the primary reasons for me going is the reunion of At The Drive-In, who broke up back in 2001. There are a number of other artists that I am looking forward to seeing, so it should be a great festival.
Anyone else from TBD attending this year? If so, which weekend?
That is a pretty sweet lineup for sure. Good news for us on the East Coast is that the lineup for Lollapalooza is typically very similar to that of Coachella. Rather than make your way up to Indigo, which is kinda out of the way, catch many of these acts in downtown Chicago. I'm waiting for the lineup leaks which happen like clockwork every March before I make this Lolla #3.
