  1. Huh? There aren't rules. He's allowed to do whatever he wants, but put any other FA in the same situation Lebron was in when he left, and I call them douches too. Lebron's situation wasn't the standard FA leaving. Did you not hear the billion dollar athlete who is genetic lottery ticket say that "God is hard on me" last night? !@#$ this dude, for real. He has never had any self-awareness.
  2. I will always hold the finger pointing, the Decision and abandoning Cleveland (and even Miami) against Lebron because he has not and will probably never prove to be different from the Lebron who did those things.
  3. Yeah, I meant closer to Kyle Williams territory. Not just solid role players.
  4. Too bad marketing matters to the owners.
  5. The Bills need a W with a late round pick/UDFA becoming a star. Hopefully, Dez can be that guy. I can't remember the last "good" one we've had. Stevie?
  6. I didn't even call him a liberal. Both you and him seemed to have struggled with that. Not sure why.
  7. When the argument is "top 10 CB salaries are worth it because look how many SB teams won it while paying a CB that much money," how much a CB was paid when they won the SB is the only point of contention. The difference between paying Sherman $500k and $14M (or whatever he makes) easily could be argued as the reason they lost in 2014.
  8. Lebron hater here, would love for him to go 0-12 and lose by a million.
  9. Nope, there are people who are equally at fault for thir racist demagoguery against the majority. Read my posts here. I've called out Sharptons, and blm, and even Michael Eric Dyson. Search "Juror 8" and "Al Sharpton." I feel that he is a racist blowhard perpetuating a left wing racist agenda. Period. I call a spade a spade, man. You are labeling me as "one of them" and unfortunately proving my point of alienation. I'm the guy saying that for every naacp, there should be a naawp that enjoys tax exempt status. I've said it before and I'll say it again. Right is right and fair I fair. Cool, I didn't know that. However, as much as your posting history indicates, it's not something I gathered from your OP. More on this later. But that has nothing to do with this environment right now. I'm talking about the course of the gop and what can be done to avoid a one party majority. I vote republican and I know a lot of black folks, like me, who want to see some change in the gop so that it doesn't get overrun by a far leftist agenda. I like my guns and I like my traditional values. And I shouldn't have to say all that for my points to be taken seriously. No, you shouldn't. But you have to. Do you know why? Because of what the course of the GOP is affected by. The right has the far greater reputation of racism than the left, when in reality, they aren't too far off. By making a post that singles out the minority racists of only one party, you lend credence to that narrative unwittingly. It's about protecting yourself more than anything else. I'm different too in that I don't hate the current administration and feel that they are doing what they feel is best for the country. May not be exactly my cup of tea, but I don't hate them for it. They were voted in, let them do their job, and don't obstruct for the sake of obstructing. But there needs to be compromise ... from the administration and from congress. There hasn't much of any, anywhere. Really? I find myself flip-flopping between the chief problem of this administration unrivaled ignorance or malevolence every week. Forgive my cliche, but the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Even if the Obama administration believed the ACA was gonna work, the damage it's doing has completely invalidated their intentions, IMO. Maybe you can't hate him for trying to do what's right, but I can be mad as hell that he's !@#$ed it up more by trying. On the point of obstructing. I would argue Obama has done more to instigate obstruction and a lack of compromise than anyone. Get in the backseat? Really? Any man who tries to impose their will like that is a ****ty politician, regardless of the fact that he feels he's doing what is best for the country. You simply cannot lead effectively in this country acting the way Obama has. And then there's the whole "if you won't agree with me, I'll violate the Constitution and overrule you," thing. Why the hell would you ever agree to compromise with a man like that? Furthermore, there is a compromise fallacy. If Billy says the sky is red, and Cindy says the sky is blue, the correct answer is not the sky is purple. That's an unwieldy analogy but it'll have to do. There are certain things in this country that are simply uncompromising. Like the Second Amendment. It's right there in black and white, "shall not be infringed." But the "correct" thing to do is compromise on common sense gun control? Says who? (Edit: I'm not saying this is a position you hold or that we disagree on, only using it to highlight a point.) I'm not argue that any specific policy maker subscribes to any uncompromising positions (mostly because they are by and large snakes), but as a voter, what matters is the upholding of the Constitution, not compromising so we can have the illusion of getting things at the cost of our Rights being infringed upon. As a final aside, you appear to be not voting for Trump because some folks at his rallies said some awful stuff. Can you elaborate?
  10. Let's try to get an actual back and forth going so we aren't one post behind of the other person. I'll assume you are responding to my latest.
  11. Not so much a strawman as a pivot. I firmly believe that your implied distinction of Right minority racists is an important talking point. It's one the media routinely abuses, and will never stop. Which invalidates your other points about the right gaining a large chunk of the black vote, ever, by "taking an L with Trump." The Right will never get the black vote. They are the party with racists in it. You said it yourself. I was wrong initially though. You weren't calling all GOPers or right-wingers racist, just that they are the only group with racists claiming membership. Which is silly. You'll have to forgive me about making it all about race, that is what initially jumped out at me. However, I wasn't going to sit there and allow you to perpetuate some stupid narrative.
  12. I don't care what you are. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that you, knowingly or not, are perpetuating a narrative. A shame, really, because you seem like a smart guy. The Right is the only ideology harboring a minority of racists. That is your narrative. You will continue to spout it, and anyone who disagrees is either racist, or thinks they are being called a racist. Talk about "boxes" amirite? There are folks with the "n word floating through their head," but no BLM folks who hate white people. Even if there are, who cares? They aren't real racists, right?
  13. Does the "decided minority" of the Left who have "racial biases" against Caucasians (and/or Christians) matter in your world? Nah, probably not. Whitey deserves it after all.
  14. That's a lot of words to get to the point of saying anyone who disagrees with the trajectory of this country and this administration has a "racial bias." Cool beans.
  15. Seahawks were only paying Sherman $600k when they won the Super Bowl.
  16. A quality rebuttal.
  17. But Hughes is still a rookie, and that's with over 25 sacks in the NFL already. No where to go but up.
  18. By wearing different jerseys every once in a while? Ask Cuban about the NBA Christmas jerseys. Or Latin Nights jerseys? Or St Patrick's day jerseys?
