I really think he was a long shot to even make the team before Star opted out, given how many DT's they've got. I think his chance to make the team is drastically improved now, but I just don't think he's been anything special so far. Kyle took a few years to get going, so there's still hope, but its far form a sure thing. They did just sign two more today, so they obviously aren't satisfied with what they have at the position.

To the Patriots in the 7th round.

More or less. Missed his whole rookie year, but after that it was clear he was going to be very good. I'm not trying to drag Knox here but it shouldn't be a shock to anyone, him included, if he's out of the league in a couple years. So few tight ends with high potential make it. and while he had some really nice plays last year, we should not in any way count on him to become a pro bowler at this stage. I really hope he does though, because I think we all love his style.

Dawson Knox should be more worried about still being in the league through his rookie contract. He's got a long way to go.

As a guy that loves Milano, I don't want to see them pay him any more than 6.5/7m a year. He plays hard, and has a good nose for the ball, but he isn't that talented. To me, he's the re-incarnation of John DiGiorgio. Imagine being in the league 9 years and attempting 15 passes.

ah yes.

They don't need progressives to fall in line. Absolute best case they're only about 35% of the party and even then most of them are just voyeurs in progressive politics. Most of them will fall in line. The 10% or so that won't aren't needed to win Dem strongholds. I wouldn't be shocked if they win every battleground state by appealing to republicans who hate Trump, but in my book that's what Biden was for. They didn't need to pick a second conservative in Harris. They could have selected a progressive to appease the left, and hid them behind Biden and they would have had the same result, except for what happens after the election.

Maybe read my posts with an open perspective sometime. Anyway, I'm not voting for these trashbags. The Dems can win or lose without me. I refuse to be held responsible.

The Dems are running two republicans against Trump. If the base shuts up and falls in line like I imagine they expect them to do, it'll likely be a landslide as they capture the Lincoln Project vote. I don't expect Biden to make it a year.

She's going to be such an awful President. Ugh.

Sorry, maybe I worded that confusingly. When I lived off Elmwood, we went to Sun on Niagara a lot and it was very good ~ 6 years ago.

Sun was great when I lived off Elmwood.

Interesting that you conveniently ignored the part where in order to get "thrown out" it had to go up to the 9th Circuit. Not everyone has the money, time and expertise on hand to continue fighting a case up that high in order to prove that police acted unlawfully. A lot of terrible things can happen to a person before they get a chance to clear their name. Also convenient that you ignored the second case where the defendant wasn't so lucky. If he refuses to show his ID, now it's on the cop to make the next move, and if he unlawfully arrests or searches him at that point, I'm guessing the case goes a different way. It's incomprehensible to me that you would advise a client to knowingly subject themselves to a system where they would have to fight all the way uphill to defend themselves.

I guess I do. I do really like courtroom thrillers. Maybe I should take the bar... It means that even esteemed professions, like doctors and lawyers, have people out there that graduated bottom of their class or are otherwise terrible. In software, they're all over. Someone out there, objectively, has the worst doctor in the world, and it could be any of us. A professional's credentials lend them credibility, but your credibility isn't required here. You aren't arguing a nuanced opinion that you've come to through years of experience. You're making very straightforward statements that don't hold up to scrutiny and can be disproven without any legal expertise. Not if the order is unlawful: https://www.nolandefenseattorneys.com/blog/2020/03/demands-from-police-are-sometimes-not-lawful/ And if you comply with an unlawful demand, you could still be screwed: https://www.dharlawllp.com/blog/2016/july/supreme-court-ruling-has-the-potential-to-take-b/

This is the literal definition of fascism. No civilized country in the world operates this way. Not only have you gotten really bad legal advice, but someone criminally failed you in that they allowed you accept this worldview.

You have gotten some truly terrible legal advice. This is all wrong, top to bottom. Do you realize that if you forfeit your rights in the street, you can wind up forfeiting them in court later? If a police officer demands you to open your trunk and they find something that incriminates you or someone else, it's going to be extremely difficult if not impossible to get evidence dropped after the fact.

What you continually fail to understand are that deaths are the tip of the iceberg, not the base.

I'm pretty sure of the two of us, it isn't me that's getting forcefed what to believe by cable news.

Get used to it.

Since we're making up things that don't exist:

Death is not the only outcome, it's just the most serious result. Incarceration, violence, and intimidation are others.

Are they pansies or a violent mob today? I forget is it an odds or evens thing?

You've brought this up several times. It was wrong then and it's wrong now. I'm so white it's almost a caricature, and I have reasons that I've already stated in this thread, and countless others, for distrusting the police that has nothing to do with the fact that they have a tendency to kill and assault a lot of unarmed minorities.
