  1. Seriously? I like Gabbard and don't think she was Beto or Ryan bad, but she looked like a deer in headlights on that stage. She stumbled multiple times and was too hesitant. She had good answers and I like her, but presentation is a big part of the point in these debates, and she did poorly there. If she makes it to the next debate, she has a lot to clean up. One thing's for sure, Swallwell will make all other Democratic candidates look like power candidates tonight. He might even make Beto look competent.
  2. I did: Although I probably would not be considered a "friend" here.
  3. I'm getting the sense he sticks around
  4. I seriously don't think I've ever seen anything as cringe inducing in a debate as Beto was tonight. Man, that guy is awful. Castro sure helped himself, though.
  5. So I've been binging Justified for the last week or 2. I just finished season 3 episode 1. Here's how I know it's fantastic: with all my other choices in shows to keep watching that I've already started (Supernatural, Jessica Jones, Good Omens, etc), I keep clicking on the next episode of the show. I love that it's setting is one of the main characters. I've never even been to Kentucky, but the show makes me feel a bit like I have been.
  6. Largely I think this was also influenced by WRs who couldn’t get open or catch consistently and a sieve of an offensive line combined with Allen’s understanding of what he could do with his legs scrambling.
  7. The point is more that while that chart looks interesting, aggressiveness is relatively unrelated to passer rating. It was just a weird pairing. If anything, it proves that Allen has the right amount of aggressiveness for an NFL QB.
  8. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing#yards According to NFL Next-gen stats, Allen has almost exactly the same aggressiveness % (13.8) as Brady does (13.9).
  9. It's because of Global Warming. Obviously. Are there really still idiots out there denying that's a thing?
  10. Cynical my @$$!!! You're clearly a homer!!! I say that mainly because I'm a homer and I agree with your entire post
  11. Anyone watch season 3 of Jessica Jones, yet? Any good? It's the last original Marvel Netflix show.
  12. This is why I think social media is stupid. I don't even think your ex wanted you, she just wanted validation. Happened to me once with a girl I kinda dated in college. She randomly texts me a few years outta college asking if I still thought she was gorgeous. My then girlfriend, now wife had my phone at the time and saw that text. I no longer even have Sara Smith's (swear to God that was her actual name) number. And don't care.
  13. What a friggin weird first sentence to your post... Ex? Nah. But... ahem... girls I haven't dated but have otherwise... well... occupied... yeah, there have been a few. I have a couple things going for me, though: 1) I'm not on social media... no FB, IG, SC, etc. 2) I live in the most isolated population center in the world.
  14. Interesting read. Thanks for posting. I disagree with a lot of it, though. First and foremost, I loathe the concept of tailoring our offense to the "duel-threat QB" concept. I hope Daboll is smart and cuts out designed runs altogether and just tells Allen when he's in the pocket (or out) he's free to run if he sees a lane and/or pressure is overwhelming and/or no one is open. Allen was largely ineffective on designed runs last year, but exceptional when scrambling. Cam Newton's career is getting cut shorter and shorter by the year as his offense still maintains his designed running as a major part of its arsenal. Seriously. So stupid. As a starter in his rookie year Allen was 5-6. 6-10 or 7-9 would be a step backwards. What a moron.
  15. Actually I haven't gotten a flu shot in over a decade. Last time I got one I had a fever for an entire weekend that peaked at 102. And even getting the flu this week, I still probably won't be getting one next year. Flu isn't exactly common in Hawai'i. And I broke the fever in less than 4 days. Luckily (or unluckily) it coincided with the start of my Summer break, anyway.
  16. Watched the 1st episode of this this week while I've been holed up in my house recovering from the flu. Really liked it. I definitely need to watch the rest, but gotta wait for the wife to be able to watch, too. Watched the 1st episode of Good Omens on Amazon Prime. I dig dry British humor so I'm liking that. I'm 5 episodes into Justified based on recommendations on here. Plus I like Timothy Olyphant. It's decent, but I hope it breaks from the procedural formula and I continue watching hoping/assuming it will based on the ending of the 1st episode. I've watched enough procedurals. Other than Jessica Jones later this month and Stranger Things next month, I don't know how Netflix is going to keep at least my interest. So much TV out there, it's virtually pointless to waste your time on any show you'd grade less than an A- yourself. Couldn't find the actual clip, but reminds me of this exchange on The Simpson's when Homer became a TV recapper: PETER SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) Homer, I'm the CEO of a major media conglomerate. We can't have you quit. You're one of America's top recappers. DAN CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) I had to quit. Recapping was ruining my marriage. There were so many shows. I couldn't keep up. SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) It's true. Currently, there are over 500 scripted shows on network cable and streaming. CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) Why are you making so many shows? No one could watch more than 300 of them. SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) Oh, we don't care if people watch. We just care if they subscribe for $13 a month. CASTELLANETA: (As Homer, gasping). SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) You see, if people subscribe and don't watch, then we don't actually have to make the shows. We just need viewers to believe they can watch them. CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) Fake shows - but what if people try to see them? SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) They won't because recappers like you will give those shows a B-. CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) No one ever watches a B-. But that's crazy. It could never work. SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) It already has. Are you familiar with the USA Network? CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) Sure. "Royal Pains," "Suits," "White Collar." SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) Have you ever seen any of those shows? CASTELLANETA: (As Homer) No, but somebody must have - surely, somebody. SERAFINOWICZ: (As CEO) There is no USA Network. There hasn't been for 20 years. It's just bus ads.
  17. Isn't the 1st day of Summer June 21st??? Seasons don't change where I live, anyways. I chose an endless summer for life. I damn well better love it!
  18. As someone who's literally getting over the flu right now, I completely disagree with your disapproval of Bruce not playing that game. Players playing with the flu is NOT that common. Michael Jordan's 38 point game with the flu was the exception, not the norm. That said, I think I'm a little shocked at the homerism. This poll should at the very least be close to even. Is everyone here who voted old enough to have watched both guys in their prime? It might be 1a and 1b, but Reggie White is definitely 1a to me. I've never seen a more dominant defensive player than the Rev. Sure, Bruuuuuuce is the 2nd most dominant, but he also benefited from a consistently better supporting cast.
  19. Hilarious! Love it! Great kid! Remember when his character was questioned on draft day... potentially causing him to fall to #7 In the first place?
  20. Holy friggin crap!!! Already?!?! Seriously??? 33 games. Barely 2 full seasons total in games. Huge gamble by the Eagles essentially on those 11 games in his 2nd season before his injury. Rookie year he caught everyone by surprise with his first 4 games and was awful for his last 12. Last year he was just "meh" as far as NFL starting QBs go. The Eagles are massively gambling on 2 things: 1) His 2nd season is more the norm than anomaly. 2) He can stay healthy.
  21. Just watched this. Thanks for posting this! Lotta really interesting takeaways, but the absolute gem for me was what Allen said about what he thinks about when he approaches the line. He mentioned how Daboll (Bellicheck protege) has been training him to think situationally, like down and distance. In all the years we've watched Brady and the Patriots, how irritating is it that it seems like Bellicheck and Brady are the masters of situational football while most other teams seem to view it as an afterthought?
  22. And on a side note, I'm really finding it hilarious how much @DC Tom is annoyed I'm ignoring him. Sheesh... the way that old racist curmudgeon is using 3rd parties just to try to reach me is actually almost flattering. And all of you 3rd parties are happy to abide... guess he's got ya by the panties. Well, nonetheless, thanks for the attention.
  23. Never needed a lawyer in my life, either. Doubt I ever will.
  24. Nay... Clearly arguable. Strongly arguable. But I already posted a handful of arguments and don't care to spend more time here... So have your fun!
