"In Week One, the Giants never sacked Dak Prescott while allowing him to complete 25 of 32 passes for 405 yards and four touchdowns...
... The Giants ranked 31st in the NFL in sacks last year and tied for 29th the year before. It’s been a long time since they’ve been able to rush opposing passers effectively"
Hmm. Pass the ball 17 times to start the game again?

Dang again? I want to see a nice kick return!

Williams responded to Beckham at a press conference on Thursday. When first asked about Beckham’s comments, Williams stole a page from Jerry Jones and said “Odell who?” before answering the accusation.
“We don’t do that,” Williams said. “Never done that anywhere I’ve been. We don’t do anything to hurt the team. It’s the number one primary thing. . . . You guys are cooperating, giving him attention. Just don’t give him attention. It just is what it is.”
HUH???

His hat game just keeps getting better.
I can't believe no one in that locker room ever said to Cam..."Dude. Stop it. You're Embarrassing us."

They should have given Tulsi Kamala's spot when she decapitated her the first time. Like Highlander.

Yeah it's because Japanese make it a point to learn English.
A good idea IMO, and that could for sure be part of it.....but there's also just a lot less of them, both in the US and in the world. Arabic would probably be a better comparison, I think.
I don't think Spanish speakers are necessarily the only ESL type folks in the states who prefer their "native tongue".

If all these systems ONLY cater to people who speak English or Spanish I consider it discrimination against those who speak any other language other that English or Spanish. Why are these systems only making themselves available Spanish speakers?
I guess I'd see discrimination in a what 'languages-can-I-use-to-order at a kiosk' sense as an purposeful action, rather than a completely unintended lack of action. They don't mean to exclude Japanese or Arabic speakers I assume, there just isn't enough need for them to bother doing it yet. But there's enough Spanish peaking people that there is. To me that just makes $ sense.
But with the way computers and systems scale nowadays I bet your version is on the way pretty fast. It'll make the most money.

And I bet it's easily programmable so we no longer discriminate against the Chinese, Japanese, French, Arabic etc speakers among us.
Well I don't know about "discriminate" (I don't assume the guy who speaks mostly Spanish at MCDs is discriminating against my white behind, I just wish he spoke English so everything was easy) but that's a good point-- to be frank this may be something we look back on in a few years and be like....man this is better service for just about everybody because a computer can do in a multi-cultural world what Clyde or Paco just can't ever be expected to.
Cuz if they can't get a McGriddle right, I probably can't expect them to speak Tagalog and Russian.

If you think that's bad, go try the Burger King tacos, OMG, those are the worst! Someone got paid money to create and market that product, unreal
Ugh. i can only imagine. I know they have to try and branch out but I only accept my ethnic cuisines from culturally authentic places like Taco Bell.

But the machine will still ask you to press "1" for English.
Some people get so mad about that they put bumper stickers on their broken down cars about it
It didn't seem to ask that but I had to have the kid (after he told me I had no choice) show me how to use it so maybe he did it. I was standing there at the counter with cash in my hand and they looked at me like I just rolled up to the drive-in in a model T. Still the difference here is vast. I assume the machine speaks both languages perfectly. None of the organ-banks at McDonalds can do either, but I at least have a leg up if we're speaking the same language.
And oh boy, ***** up my McGriddle (who puts CHEESE and EGG on a PANCAKE bread sandwich? NASTY!!!) and there will be a mad person.

The ordering machines they have at my local McDonalds now don't smell like cigarettes, have prison level tats, missing teeth, or unmentionable BO, and they all speak English.
I'll take it.

42 months. Could have been much longer. https://deadline.com/2019/04/former-wfan-host-craig-carton-gets-42-month-prison-term-for-ticket-fraud-1202589246/
OMG I'm dying over here:
McMahon didn’t seem to find the ex-radio host’s argument to be terribly persuasive. She even used a standard talk-radio formulation when delivering her sentence, telling him, “Good afternoon Mr. Carton. Colleen from New York. First time, long time.”
LMFAO!

Haha I didn't even follow it that far...I assumed he just paid some fine! Saw he has a new show, which of course without Boomer, is awful.
Still, those two together....i liked it.

"Gase said Darnold could miss several weeks, and has lost a significant amount of weight. "
Since when i wonder? Sunday? Or beforehand? It's all the other symptoms of mono that kind of hurt your appetite (being tired, sore throat, swollen glands, fever) so did they just think he had a cold or what? Top notch docs they got out in Florin Park.
"Phil he's covered in red spots and he feels like he has the flu. His nephew has chicken pox. Chicken Pox right?"
"Nah, probably just allergies"
-
That entire CMB show should be aborted. It is the kind of thing the CIA would make terrorists listen to for 48hours straight to drive them insane. Un-listenable.
And frankly Boomer sucks since he lost Carton.

Blowhard Fatcessa also just said that the Bills have no business being favorites over the Giants because the Giants are a better team or, at worst, just as good as the Bills. Said the Bills won a game they had no business winning and "have a quarterback, in Allen, who had their fans longing for Nathan Peterman." Uhhhh...no. Then he grudgingly said that the Bills do have a good defense but he truly believes that the tire fire Giants are a better team. The Bills could certainly lose that game but the Giants are not a better team by any stretch.
Honestly, I listen to WFAN just to hear Joe Beningo cry about, and to hear Mike Francesa dog, the Jets. Top notch entertainment.

If he is still on their roster by next week, target Antonio Hamilton!
Francesa on WFAN:
'Giants have got no defense
No pass rush
No cornersBut this is the easy part of their schedule, they have to beat Buffalo.'
I hope they repeat their idiotic mistakes from last week, like not feeding Barkley, like thinking Eli is mobile, etc etc etc. Man the Bills have to feel good going back to MetLife again.
Also says, the Giants should not be the underdogs in this game. Giants are better. Hmm!

I know it's not REALLY taunting but man I was getting sick of the Bell point-ball-and-drop every time he made a play.
Point that ball at the scoreboard buddy.
