  1. He's still on the air? This guy once had a show on MSNBC to show you how far they shifted their business model. They kicked him off for telling some caller he hoped he died of aids.
  2. Fewer than 750 yards. He's lost a step like most other great finesse/elusive RB's once they hit that 30/31 age including Thurman, LT, and Marshall Faulk. He still can be productive as a change of pace back and through the air.
  3. It would help if they separate mass shootings that stem from domestic and gang violence from high-fatality indiscriminate killings in public venues. The latter obviously makes more news because it can impact anybody.
  4. Obama, Pelosi, and Reid were slick in navigating the waters to get it passed after Kennedy died as they refused to let it drown. Another overlooked aspect of getting the bill passed was Obama urging Democratic Senators not to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship on one of the Senate's committees even though he endorsed McCain. Even though Lieberman pry killed the public option he voted for the final bill and may not have out of spite.
  5. You're wrong. The Dodgers overtook the Twins for the best winning percentage on June 20th. The Yankees only had six nights since where they've had a higher winning percentage than the Dodgers as the league's best team (July 12th, 18th, 19th, 20th, 24th and 25th). The two teams are tied right now.
  6. I think they just passed the Dodgers tonight. First time all year.
  7. Dems only had a supermajority for 72 days and they never had 60 Senators that would pass any gun control legislation. Dems like Max Baucus of Montana made any effort fruitless. They got the ACA through though in that short window.
  8. Plus that whole bridge thing. Gabbard taking out Harris reminded me of Christie taking out Rubio. That would be true if they needed to make a specific money threshold regardless of the amount of donors. The whole purpose of reaching a number of "unique" donors is so billionaires can't buy their way onto the debate stage without at least some proficiency in grassroot fundraising. Watching billionaires plead for donors is both humorous and shows it's working.
  9. He'd beat the odds if he does return to form as he looked like a shell of himself last year. Obviously the Bills brass feels differently. It would be interesting to see the offers Beane turned down if he was trying to trade him last year.
  10. I think we go 9-7 but lose in a tie breaker for the last WC spot. I've gone with 7-9 the last 10 years so I'm slightly more optimistic this year.
  11. It's a good question. Do these extremely isolated people whose only real interaction is with like minded individuals in some radical online forum have the social skills required to acquire a weapon like the AR-15 off the black market? I'm not sure, but I've always been in favor of raising the gun buying age until 26 as your brain's cognitive processing isn't fully developed until that point. If you want to be able to purchase a gun before that age you should have to pass a psychological background test, have a clean criminal record, and receive a gun training course. It'll pry never happen though given the slippery slope argument that many 2nd amendment advocates make.
  12. Different temperament required between waiting behind a legend and pushing your way into the starting role with a middling qb.
  13. The last Madden I played had Eddie George on the cover so my only interest in it is seeing the player ratings every year. A much more interesting topic. NFL Blitz > Tecmo Super Bowl
  14. Will say his name in church tomorrow. Best wishes.
  15. At least 19 dead and 40 injured reported so far. Just sickening. I'm glad they caught the suspect alive and no officers were killed. Somewhat rare in instances like this.
  16. I don't know your family situation but with me having two dogs lessened the blow for my kids when our first dog died.
  17. Quarterback is so loaded this year that you can make the argument that Brady or Stafford's not even in the top 20. Getting a dependable QB is a pretty sure thing in a ten team league as late as the eighth to tenth round depending on the format. Then you have a few potentially great mobile quarterbacks you can take late (Jackson, Allen, Murray).
  18. It was the fourth link down on the first page. http://www.citizensunited.org/
  19. Yeah. I think he should get in. He was the first non punter/kicker to distinguish himself on Special Teams and went to seven pro bowls. He may have a chance with them devaluing the HOF by inducting 20 players.
  20. That's true. It's the only explanation of why a Hillary/Kaine ticket and the excitement that came with it didn't carry the state by a healthy margin.
  21. No. He's an opportunist who played off people's fears of Muslims as he made that announcement right after the San Bernardino shooting before attending a rally in SC. It was very much in the heat of the primary battle so it was a smart move.
  22. I understand the anti Dimarco sentiment on this board as it may prevent one of your favorite bubble player from making the 53 man roster. Poor special teams arguably cost this team two games last year (at Texans and home against the Jets). We need to improve in that area and if Dimarco is an integral part of that we need him on the team.
  23. Why all the Murph and Tasker hate? If I need an afternoon siesta it's my go to station.
