  1. Come on guys. Would you rather have someone like Nantz call the iconic Hines run with phrases such "This is storybook." Or Brown......... "Run as fast you can. You're not touching Hines. He's your end zone man."
  2. I'd be so much more conspiratorial if human beings weren't so darn incompetent in general. Total failure by local law enforcement and the FBI. There needs to be firings because the bullet was inches away from blowing Trump's brain out.
  3. First millennial on a presidential ticket. DEI - Check.
  4. Why didn't he just pick Pence again?
  5. Who do you think his VP choice will be? Who do you want it to be?
  6. Not the exact same as it depends on the level of intoxication and how recklessly you were driving. Some people think they can make it home going 10mph under the speed limit not to attract cops while others (like Henry Ruggs) will drive 156 mph weaving in and out of traffic before slamming into a car resulting in the death of a 23 year old girl. There's no defense in either situation but the latter should definitely be more severely punished.
  7. Poor accuracy though (56.2% completion percentage) and the most he ever passed for yardage wise was 3,308 yards (under Reid) in 2011. I guess a dual threat quarterback needs to be better defined.
  8. There were more political assassinations/attempts before social media (JFK, RFK, Truman, Wallace, T. Roosevelt, Reagan, Ford, Lincoln, McKinley, Garfield). It's actually slowed down this century pry because of enhanced security.
  9. FWIW....... And this was a 20 year old.
  10. I don't feel like going through 30 plus pages but are people trying to whitewash January 6th with this.
  11. Weird burn there Tibs. Really weird. It's a combination of reasons that white men commit suicide at the highest rate. The primary one being the stigma that men should be strong enough to handle things on their own and therefore are more reluctant to seek help. More white men live in rural areas so you're more isolated. There's less access to mental health and yes they're more likely to own a firearm.
  12. Ask Pats fans how they feel about this guy after giving him four years 50 million.
  13. How many people actually watched it compared to the debate though? Also, the three major slip us will make headlines. I don't know if this changes anybody's mind on either side of the fence.
  14. Antonio Brown will be interesting. Put up better numbers than Calvin Johnson who is in. Put up more yards, catches, and equal TD's in only 11 more games (27 less games as a starter) played. If character mattered they'd remove OJ Simpson.
  15. Me too but I know how some people think.
  16. Nothing on health care and child care costs either and barely mentioned in the 16 page platform. Two other areas that could swing Independents to Democrats.
  17. Isn't it already a felony for noncitizens to vote in a federal election? I pry wouldn't risk going to jail just to vote. I guess I don't see the purpose of this bill.
  18. I'd say the same about McD winning a Super Bowl but I know there's those saying he should have at least two by now with the god Josh Allen.
  19. The link was slow to load.
  20. He was a shell of his former self last year in the ten games he did play last year. Injuries derailed his career. Hard pass.
  21. Not sure if this deserves its own thread but since Biden's staying in the race this will be the direction the country presumably takes starting next January. Here's the 20 platform bullet points released by the RNC panel in a 16 page platform released today. Some of it is a little too hyperbolic/fear mongering for my taste but it beats the alternative imo. On abortion: (cnbc article) On abortion, the changes are stark. The old platform took a hard-line stance against abortion, calling for a “human life amendment to the Constitution” in a lengthy passage that used the word “abortion” dozens of times. The Trump-backed platform uses the word just once, in a brief paragraph that expresses support for allowing states to pass their own abortion laws while vowing to oppose “Late Term Abortion.” On entitlement reform: The 2016 and 2020 platforms noted, “Medicare’s long-term debt is in the trillions, and it is funded by a workforce that is shrinking relative to the size of future beneficiaries. ... When a vital program is so clearly headed for a train wreck, it’s time to put it on a more secure track.” It proposed a handful of reforms, including setting “a more realistic age for eligibility in light of today’s longer life span.” The new platform erases any discussion about the challenges of keeping the programs solvent. “Republicans will tackle Inflation, unleash American Energy, restore Economic Growth, and secure our Borders to preserve Social Security and Medicare funding for the next Generation and beyond,” it reads. “We will ensure these programs remain solvent long into the future by reversing harmful Democrat policies and unleashing a new Economic Boom.” ----------- Trump helped devise this and he's pry the least ideological and most pragmatic president of my lifetime. He and his advisors recognize the two areas they'll attack Republicans the hardest with policy wise is claiming Republicans will push to legalize abortion nationally and they'll cut medicare and social security. Many Republicans pry wish the stance wasn't so soft but it's a smart calculation if you want to win elections this November imo. Thoughts?
  22. I know this is sarcasm but to really simplify things. -Josh Allen played great in 2 of the 4 playoff losses since he became elite in 2020. -The defense was good in 0 of the 4 playoff losses since 2020 and the offense was the only reason they had a chance in two of them. I know I'm beating a dead horse with this take but the only beef with Josh in the wins is the Shakir decision with Diggs wide open underneath given the circumstances of that game. Low percentage throw even if Chris Jones doesn't impact it. TERRIBLE situational awareness.
  23. Players to watch - Barry Sanders, Deion Sanders, Randy Moss, and Michael Vick. Players I respected the most - Jerry Rice, Larry Fitzgerald, and Matt Stafford.
  24. Ok but their only head to head matchup was pretty ugly and our offense was healthy that day. That's what the casual fan remembers when comparing those two in the playoffs. Burrow: 22 for 36, 242 yards, 2 TD's, 0 INT, 6 rushes for 31 yards (0 TD), 77.9 QBR, 101.9 passer rating Allen: 25 for 42, 264 yards, 0 TD's, 1 INT, 8 rushes for 26 yards (1 TD), 57.6 QBR, 68.0 passer rating
