K-9

I think that’s strictly a function of Humphrey being their best slot corner, regardless. As you know, even the best of boundary corners often don’t play the slot as effectively.

Not having Beasley hurts this offense. He and Allen have spent the last two years developing the chemistry we see on the field and that will take time to develop with another player and I’m not sure the improvised aspects of his game with Allen can be duplicated given the nine seasons of experience that informs it. Beasley sitting out would really be sticking it to the team, at least in the short term. But if that’s what he decides, then good riddance. I hope that’s the case, but he’s boxed himself in with his hard stance on the matter. Does he like winning championships more than he likes sticking to his publicly proclaimed principles? Let’s hope he’s changed his mind come training camp. A lot can happen between now and then.

We need to realize that even if Allen’s stats aren’t as good as last year, he could still show huge progression as a QB. Indeed, it’s the aspects of QB play that don’t show up on the stat sheet that I’m most interested in seeing growth in. Decision making for one; getting us in and out of plays based on what he sees the defense is doing. Continuing to see the WHY of the defense vs, certain looks the offense gives.

Thanks for explaining this. There are some who think that he can't be cut because he's publicly come out as gay. Nothing is further from the truth.

You keep insisting on making my comment bigger than it is. I think we are finished here. Have a good day.

That’s a very interesting point and I’d have to agree. There is something to be said for a shared experience of being discriminated against, regardless of the nature of that discrimination. I’ll leave it to others to argue about another’s validity in that regard, but I think it’s a ridiculous concept to compare scars in that fashion. But the struggle of black America is rooted in something deeper than just skin color (physical characteristics).

I know full well what I’m saying and it’s far away from what you seem to think it is. I’ll boil it down to the simplest form: The comparison lies in the similarity in breaking thru a cultural barrier. Simple as that. You seem to think I’m equating the struggles of all of black America in their entirety with the struggles of the gay community in their entirety and nothing could be farther from the truth. Robinson shattered a barrier in sports. Nassib also shattered a barrier in sports. That’s all I’m saying. Acknowledging that similarity in no way lessens Robinson or elevates Nassib. There is no equating the struggles of black America with the struggles of gay America on a par basis. Like I said, it’s an absurd notion. If that is all word salad for you, it must be a huge challenge for you to comprehend truly complex concepts.

Way to miss the post entirely. It’s not about comparing blacks and gays, which is an idiotic concept. It’s about the comparative cultural and societal comparisons. If you can’t see that, what can I say.

Not at all. They both broke social and cultural barriers. And like Robinson, I suspect Nassib is going to have to tolerate a certain level of verbal abuse by players and fans. Also like Robinson, I can see his teammates and other fans coming to his defense when that happens. Has showering always been a sexual activity for you? Really? Get your mind out of the gutter.

Watch at your leisure and enjoy the memories.

While I’m sure Brady is that much of an a-hole, I see nothing vindictive in his remark in that setting. Sounds like he’s sitting around busting balls with the guys. We’ve all done it. Still, I can’t stand that motherfu**ker!

They gave him more opportunities on offense. Simple as that.

Thank you. Some of us have long suggested that Oliver’s detractors take another look at every snap he took last season. His critics are seeing a completely different player than I am.

The Peters projection map is great but it suffers from distortions in the polar regions where countries are stretched horizontally and near the equator where they are stretched vertically. But it’s great for distance and direction, as well as the relative sizes of every county in relation to each other. It’s a far better tool than the Mercator projection, that’s for sure.

No map projection will ever be perfect, but I’m not sure multiple views would be able to offer up the same accuracy and lack of distortion though. It’s convenient to have the edge of the disc serve as the equator.

This is the most accurate flat map of the world ever made. Gone are the distortions inherent in flat map projections, like the Mercator for example. Fascinating stuff. I look forward to seeing how the flat earth tards embrace it. https://www.princeton.edu/news/2021/02/15/princeton-astrophysicists-re-imagine-world-map-designing-less-distorted-radically

Correct. It’s not a perfect sphere, but I would describe it as ellipsoid rather than pear shaped.

On a sphere, there is no upside down.

Yeah, I cringed when I read that post. I’m done with that particular board member. Perhaps someone should send the details of Mr. Heard’s death to Beasley who said he needed to see the cause of death for all 600k Covid victims before he could believe they died of Covid. Yeah, Bease, it’s all a big lie buddy. I’m pretty much done with Beasley at this point as well. Don’t give two craps if he stays or goes at this point.

That’s all well and good that non-immunized people don’t GAFF, but that doesn’t change the reality that they are at higher risk to contract and spread the virus. And if they are a key player(s) or manage to spread an infection to a key player(s), then they are a detriment to team success. I have to laugh at your last sentence. The only people I see playing the victim card are those that equate adherence to sound public health policy (proven to work time and time again thoughout history, btw) to losing their “freedom.”

You might prefer no Impingement of players’ activities, but the reality is that non-immunized players are at higher risk than immunized players, so the safety protocols need to be followed. And the ball game might indeed be over for non-immunized players who refuse to follow safety protocols getting infected or infecting other non-immunized players who then end up missing time and aren’t available to the team as a result. Is behavior that has the potential to weaken the team thus negatively impacting its chances of winning, the smart play? Really?

As well as the availability of other non-immunized players he may infect.

You do realize that the risk isn’t just to themselves, right? It’s a risk to the team and it’s success if players miss time. It’s bigger than the health issue of individual players who may get sick.

Well, the league obviously feels differently. And until further notice, players will just have to live with the inconvenience. Just like they did last year. I don’t feel the need to debate the philosophical aspects of the issue. It’s a waste of time.

That applies to teammates that are vaccinated. What percentage of teammates aren’t vaccinated? Are those that aren’t at higher risk or not?
