    Just curious, what do you think the Wonderlic score tells us about a guy's ability to understand and play football?

     

    The tests I've seen look like a cross between an older SAT (vocabulary, math) and an intelligence test (logic, spatial reasoning).

     

    I'm not sure how well they predict one's ability to play football.

    They tell you if a person can “retain” information and that’s needed for someone who’s supposed to be the “QB of the defense.”

    Quick.  Name the starting RBs on the Patriots 6 SB victories.  For that matter, name the starting RBs on their 9 most recent SB appearances.

     

     

    I think Daboll is more flexible than you give him credit for, and at this point has earned enough respect that he can influence the active roster.

    I do think that having Taiwan Jones as a primarily ST guy and one active WR as a primarily ST guy limits us quite a bit, and I don't see us moving away from that.

     

     

    That’s easy.

  3. This country has a victim complex. In the last decade it’s mostly come from the right, but recently the left has been doing it also. Everywhere you look now you see it.
     

    Everything is “some one else’s” fault.
     

    I’ve been oppressed by some “other” group. 

     

    I’m this way because “this group” was mean to me.

     

    I have no idea where it came from.

    Where do most of the black voters in Georgia live is the question to ask.  In the counties in and around Atlanta and other cities.

    In 2000, I lived in Cobb County and that was mostly white and Hispanic. I’m not exactly sure if the demographics have changed all that much since then but the political leanings sure did. That’s a purple and sometimes blue district now.

     

    Thst was Newt Gingrich’s old district! So much has changed.

    This thread has gone completely a different direction then I had hoped, and I wanted to discuss it much more along the MLB angle. I have read that the ratings of the national games are down but that is a small sample size, can anyone speak to ratings otherwise? Basically will MLB pick up some new fans by doing this or just tick off the conservative fans and lose out due to it?

    Decisions like that aren’t made unless they can make money.....or at least not lose money.

    It’s not a secret?  Where in the public domain may I find his intention? Or were you over at his place for dinner last night and he told you his plans. If he did he should have told you to keep it a secret. I guess he didn’t know you were a blabber mouth. 

    He just launched his PAC.

    It doesn’t matter to these idiots - @B-Man claimed the Jan 6 insurrection was justified and @Chef Jimdoesnt believe racism exists because he has never witnessed it. 

    We caught them trying to cheat every way imaginable and had no choice but to impeach him. You can’t get caught any worse than that.

     

    The Republican Party shouldn’t be saying much of anything right now, especially when it comes to elections. We’ll tell them when it’s ok to come out of their holes. Like 8 years from now.

    Yourself Governor, you are only fooling yourself.

     

     

    Post after post with the same "everyone knows what they really mean" and "everyone knows exactly why" 

     

    Without offering anything substantial other than your own ingrained bias.

     

     

     

    We just had a president that was caught and impeached for trying to rig his own reelection and now we’re supposed to answer to you when it comes to voter fraud?

     

    Then we caught them trying to break the USPS so votes wouldn’t be counted.

     

    Are we supposed to pretend that none of that happened? A do-over? Trump just being Trump?

    so you illegally drove. you are ray lewis accomplice and you want fraudulent elections. lol im just kidding.

     

    yes losing your id will make you SOL in alot of circumstances but what about the question i posed. is it really asking to much when democrats could simply help those who want to vote..and also give them a valid ID they previously did not have for anything else.

     

     

    seems like alot of hoopla and excuses for the simple act of securing elections without any republican excuse if they lose. win win win yet still is fought like its armageddon.

    Think about it this way.

     

    ive always had all of the other things that you need to get a photo ID. Birth certificate, SS card, proof of residency, credit cards in my name, but just never got an actual Photo ID.

     

    At the time, Wells Fargo and I believe PNC bank, only required 2 credit cards in your name, your SS card, and maybe your BC to cash a check.

     

    So, there’s nothing fraudulent about it at all. I had other forms of ID and never needed a photo ID. This is also when credit cards had your photo on it.

     

     

    And yes, it is a problem, because voting is a right that doesn’t require a photo ID, along with a lot of other things, and a few million people wouldn’t be able to exercise that right.

     

    You’re trying to fix a problem that doesn’t exist.

     

    Why not pass a law that says you need “some” form of ID? No, that’s not what they’re trying to do and everyone knows exactly why.

    so getting a job took you for your word without needing a ID verification..for 7 years? cashed checks? rented housing? ect ect? thats a very trusting environment.  also a environment ripe for fraud.

     

    you worked a valet service..without a licence? or this was later?

     

    if you lived there then i guess ill believe their social net is not that good. it doesnt really change the fact that democrat and community organizations can help people obtain them then. 

     

    ill pose this question since it was unanswered before. democrats want everyone to have the right to vote. republicans want more secure elections. at least that's the glossy overcoat they give. democrats can help people obtain IDs. what do you want republicans to do to secure elections as a basic ask for ID is fought tooth in nail..and of coarse "racism" is called. is it really too much? do you not feel any concessions should be made to 1/2 the country that want this. 

     

    side note, i hope you weren't valeting lewis that night. you may have just admitted to being a unknowing accomplice. 😁

     

     

    Yeah, I kept telling myself that was going to get one and then 7 years went by. I had an out of state license that was taken away and I just never needed to get one.

     

    The other issue is that the license places are all privatized throughout the south so when you actually go to get an ID, you don’t walk out with one. It’s mailed to you in about 2 weeks. So, if you physically lose your ID before an election, you’d be seriously SOL.

    do you live there? chef jim answered like he does and stated differently.

     

    as to how you feel things should be done.we all have opinions. the question is it unreasonable? im not hearing anything so far that leads me to believe that. cant put in alittle extra effort for security purposes then i guess its not that important. there are numerous things ID is required for in society and somehow this is the only one that has people up in arms about.

    I actually put this to the test a few years back. I was born in the north and I was always under the impression that ID’s are needed for almost everything. Maybe that was because I lived kinda out of the way.

     

    I recently went 7 years in NC without an ID. When you don’t have one, and don’t want one, you quickly realize that you don’t actually need one for much of anything these days. Now I understand why millions of americans(young and old) don’t have and don’t want an ID.

     

    I lived in Smyrna(right near ATL) for 5 years.

     

    off topic but weird story. I was working in mid-town Atlanta for a valet service during the Rams/Titans SB. Remember what happened that night? The Ray Lewis thing went down 2 blocks away from my post. It was in Buckhead.

    Great post.
     

    The intent of that Georgia law I assume is because some groups will go to a homeless shelter or nursing home and offer free lunches for people who will come to the polls and vote for them.
     

    Republicans are targeting the ‘line warming’ behavior because they are too dumb to figure out how to do the same. 

    Well, Republicans do the same exact thing outside of every church in America. They just don’t want “certain” people to vote.

    so your positive that there are no resources to help those that want a voter id obtain one? there's a number to call that says they will help in that instance. as for going in "day of" and expecting a voter id ready and waiting..lots of time in between elections. lots of money dumped into campaigns to offset any hardships for vets or others who truley want to vote but cannot.

     

    i grew up and live in the city. i know plenty of people down on their luck that need help including family. they seem to get what they need ID requirements and all. they get section 8, food stamps, phone, FREE bus passes. it might be your bias thinking they cannot accomplish these things or maybe georgia social net is drastically different? you continually seem to have low expectations that people cannot accomplish things if there is a condition that any effort on their end must be made. 

     

    from everything I've seen, its not true.

    Being a registered voter is all you should need to vote. That’s what it’s for. You walk in, give your name, date of birth, and home address, and they hand you a ballot.

     

    This whole idea that random people are walking in and using other voter’s names and memorizing the addresses of total strangers has always been totally ludicrous.

     

    And no, Ga. actually doesn’t have much of a safety net at all. It’s just like Florida and SC.

    Dude this has nothing to do with Donald Trump.  Good lord.   

     

    And I'm sorry no one has not given specifics as to why this is Jim Crow on steroids.  

     

    To keep it simple I ask you two questions. 

     

    Jim Crow MANDATED racial segregation in public places such as schools.  Does this law force black people to use separate polling places that are hard or impossible to reach?

    Jim Crow instituted things like Poll Taxes, Literacy Tests at the polls.  Many of the tests were impossible to pass thereby making impossible for many black people to vote.  Please point out where the GA Bill does anything of the sort

     

    You have not done a poor job equating this Bill to Jim Crow.  You have not done any job of equating it to Jim Crow

     

    Do better. 

     

    The only reason?  So has zero to do with it taking nearly a month for GA to certify their votes?  Would having ID numbers on the ballots make them easier to match than a signature.  Yes or no? 

     

     

    Ballot ID numbers of the voter’s personal ID number?

     

    Voting is a right therefore it’s illegal to require an ID or ID number to vote.
