That's No Moon

Oh sweet Christ yes. Let's not open up that bag of fun.

Accuracy issues cannot be corrected at the NFL level.

I have two guns, one for each of you.

Relatively minor thing, but I was impressed by the way he was able to get the team in and out of the huddle. They were consistently lined up at least 5 seconds quicker than when McCarron was in and that really makes a difference when you are trying to run a lot of motion, etc. Rookies aren't usually very good at that and it didn't seem to be an issue - even with the dregs of the roster around him.

They also had about 13k more seats to sell than they do now. That team sold 67k tickets with no trouble whatsoever. They sold 75k with little trouble. It was the last 5k tickets that were hard when the weather was particularly bad. For as awful as this team has been, for as long as it has been that way, the attendance has been remarkable. Quite honestly, through the history of the franchise the Bills have generally been terrible with brief periods of excellence sprinkled in.

If Jack Nicholson beats on a sedan with a 9 iron but isn't wearing gloves does that confirm your theory?

What if he got caught night putting?

Spinal Tap - Smell the Glove. If you asked how much more black this could be the answer is none, none more black.

If I can get a couple desserts in him can you throw in a couple hats for the kids?

We dance.

That seems like more of a Russ brandon move

Just because it is mixed up with all the other things, we would not dream of giving you less than a full helping.

I eat plenty of unhealthy food too, my objection to "the plate" is purely based on my dislike for its components, compounded by the "presentation"

If you eat 2 and I eat 0 we each, on average, ate 1 and both of us are happy.

Mr. Food reference aside, I think that's still a no. Even if they put the oeuf de caille on top.

I realize this is blasphemy for some, but no part of that looks even remotely appetizing.

The table thing is a little embarassing, yeah.

Calling it now, Coleman doesnt make the 53.

Yeah that still bothers me sometimes. You try to think back to who was in the room when you were speaking but of course you can't remember because who tries to make note of that at the time? I still saw the professor from time to time afterward. I never brought it up. It's not the sort of thing you want to grandstand about being correct about. For the record, yes I am still allowed to fly on airplanes.

I hesitate to click "like" on that but I work in special ed and my younger self worked in some really hairy places and saw some really hairy stuff. The stuff I see now is very tame in comparison. My 2 cents, we don't know a lot about this kid to be damning the caretaker. We don't know why she was there, how many kids she was supervising, or what the kids history was. I've had kids who had a PCA for issues that had nothing to do with violence. I've taken a group of kids to the mall for example. There were 5 of them and 4 of us. The point of doing it was to try to teach the kids how to behave in that environment. Sometimes they'd do some interesting stuff and the people in the mall or wherever had no idea what was going on but it was important for the kid to be out in the environment to learn. On the other hand, I know there are plenty of situations as described where some kids with some serious emotional issues go out to public places, again as part of them learning to deal with it. Typically, though not always, those kids tend to have more staff assigned on an outing because to be in that setting they've already done some serious stuff and are on people's radar One thing I can almost guarantee though is that the aide is really poorly paid, not nearly as educated as you'd think they should be and they had no say over how many staff went on this trip. Blaming the school district is the common answer. What problem haven't we assigned to the schools to fix? That example of the Parkland kid is a good one. He's old enough to make his own decisions legally. He's able to turn down certain things or say he doesn't want to go to a certain school. The District can fight it but it's very time consuming and they often lose in the end. There is a legal need to have a kid in the least restrictive environment where they can succeed. If a kid isn't doing anything beyond the scope of a typical high school kid you can't move them out and even if you do, then what? There is no real inpatient mental health system anymore in this country. Everything is out patient and the patients control whether or not they participate. Unless you are an immediate danger to yourself or someone else they will not hospitalize you, period. They might hold you for 48 hours depending on the state. some places are easier than others to involuntarily commit a person for 48 hours than others. Of course, even if you do the work needed to give someone a 48 there needs to be a bed available and depending on where you live there may not be one, in which case too bad. You are out of luck. This is but one of many situations in our country that are screwed up and wrong but we lack the focus and will to fix them because they require uncomfortable conversations and the expenditure of money. What we have done to mental health in this country is shameful and many of the problems were created out of good intentions to fix other real problems. Takeways for the group 1. let schools teach, 2. not everyone can handle outpatient care 3. we need a place for those people to go that isn't jail, the street, or the morgue. End of rant.

It sucks being right sometimes doesn't it? Sorta like an undergrad presentation I gave in 2000 where I postulated that terrorists would figure out that airplanes are giant flying bombs and would hijack them into to fly them into things like the WTC because the WTC was engineered in the 60's when the biggest thing in the sky was an Itty bitty 707. I got a C on that. It was too far fetched.

I miss when we all argued why Napster wasn't stealing.

I could have listed tons more. Tons. Going back to the play in question, the safety didnt drop his head. He hit the player with his shoulder and his head up and got flagged anyway. They are crippling the game with regulation and more and more games will be decided by officials rather than players. Football is already a substantially different game than I grew up watching, before 1995.

FWIW, leading with your face is leading with your helmet the way the rule is called now. I also think players have been hitting this way a lot longer than 1995. Jack Tatum - basically the entire film is a penalty now Ronnie Lott Dennis Smith - again almost the entire Top 10 is illegal now Chuck Cecil Chuck Bednarik - one of the most famous plays in NFL history - penalty today I could go on and on. Let's not wax poetic about the good old days when football was clean. It wasn't. and also FWIW, nobody has told me what the safety in last nights game was SUPPOSED to do other than let the guy score a TD in front of him.
