  1. My scouting report on him is: Strong coverage instincts Can get too handsy at times Not enough sand in the pants. Hips are not fluid enough to dance to fast songs Not a natural brunette VERY pee shy, does not translate to an NFL locker room Day 3 pick on Jauronimo's Big Board
  2. Canada and England have issues with Americans committing violent crimes?
  3. Very few teams who lose in the divisional round go on to win the super bowl. By my estimation less than 5 teams have accomplished such a feat.
  4. The media loves stories of white people committing crimes allegedly motivated by hate. No argument here. I think these stories get more run than they should and sometimes like George Zimmerman, they jump wildly to bogus conclusions. Much of the coverage is irresponsible. I do not think the answer is to do something similarly hasty and irresponsible for people of all races. I agree that I seldom if ever see the hate crime angle discussed when the races are reversed. Seems like the media in this case may not be jumping to wild conclusions to drive narrative which is responsible I would think. Maybe even commendable. Perhaps because the accused are minors and get different protection in media coverage. I watch enough news to see plenty of coverage of black Americans. Outside of the hate crime coverage, I don't see black men getting a pass in the media and there are volumes of research which support that point.
  5. It appears things have changed since 1994 as based on the actual study I provided. I didn't see any statistics in that abstract or any access to the actual article or underlying research. I am not familiar with The Public Interest, is it still in circulation? But if the findings from The Public Interest circa 1994 carry more weight with you than the United States Sentencing Commission, then cheers.
  6. Every one of the studies I have seen explicitly considers and adjusts for prior offenses. This is a convenient explanation but it doesn't hold water. https://www.ussc.gov/sites/default/files/pdf/research-and-publications/research-publications/2017/20171114_Demographics.pdf You will want to refer to the section about Prior Violence as a consideration and the 20% observed disparity in length of sentence. I am well aware of the crime statistics in this country. Are you offering a defense of stereotyping in the coverage of individual events? I don't know what this even means. Did it. Done it. Do you intend to make a point based on said statistics?
  7. At least you have the guts to say it. I would encourage you to do a modicum of research about prevailing stereotypes in the depiction of black people in the news and media, a topic which has decades worth of research for your consideration. Or you can take a look at sentencing disparities between blacks and whites. If you're still convinced that the white man can't get a fair shake in America then we can agree to disagree.
  8. Then be brave and go on record with the reason. You too @Bob Jones I can't wait to hear about how the media in this country is afraid to paint black men in a negative light.
  9. Because there has been an increasing sensitivity to not showing, or glorifying the cowards who perpetrate these horrific acts. The media finally learned their lesson after the wildly irresponsible coverage of Columbine and VA Tech. Coverage now focuses on the victims instead of the losers.
  10. We should have taken the Chiefs to Overtime despite a banged up defense and 2 days less rest. The difference between the two teams is competent defense and health.
  11. How many super bowls did Uri Geller win, smart guy?
  12. Nahh, he fits the profile of a conscientious objector to the T. Total coward. The real tough guys took a principled stand and boycotted the game entirely .
  13. The Pats fanbase is pretty fair weathered so they faded away as quickly as their team has post Brady. They are 100% Yankees Suck fans now which makes them more tolerable. The Fins have vaulted back up to my most hated team and it feels great.
  14. I mean there is the high lead content in the water supply, exposure to heavy metals from the old steel mill. Half of the mafia was born, played on, or went to school on current Superfund sites and the other half under high transmission power lines. Whatever gray matter survived childhood has been under a constant assault from Rumpleminz and ice beer. We're a special bunch.
  15. Allen was a bigger project than Mahomes coming out and he seems to have turned out just fine. I think Mahomes may have panned out as well in Buffalo.
  16. Open air stadiums release major amounts of greenhouse gas relative to domes. Look at a chart of CO2 levels and global temperatures since Franklin Field first opened at the turn of the 20th century. Its uncanny!!
  17. I worded it poorly but Josh will have had two seasons significantly better than either of Lamar's MVP seasons with nothing to show for it.
  18. No pricing or specifics have been released and most of you are bitching about it, planning boycotts, or burning your TVs. Gotta love TBD's brand of aggressive stupidity.
  19. Its basically the "QB on the team with the best regular season record" award at this point.
  20. Its a sport where points are awarded based on how far you can jam your thumb into your opponents butthole and you're wondering why it hasn't gained mainstream popularity?!?
  21. If Lamar wins it will be the second time he has won it over Josh with half the stats. Does anyone actually buy Lamar as MVP?
  22. WTF is the Raw Dog Diet? Pineapple and oysters? Another crotch goblin may be out of the picture now that you're vasectomized but I still recommend you wrap it up @Royale with Cheese lest you find out why they call it the Dirty South.
  23. I think they make you a store manager at Home Depot at 3 DUIs. Department head at 2 DWIs if I remember correctly. Idk its been a while since my days in orange.
  24. You would have enough to cover your TBD membership this month.
