Nah. Your twisting of my own narrative here is actually on you. Don't worry, I know this is what you guys do over here. Exonerated Trump? Trump was NOT exonerated, literally the wording of the guy who investigated Trump. And if you think that Trump shouldn't continue to be under scrutiny for, among other things, consciously undermining the 2016 election under the campaign finance reform statutes, that's another thing on you. Wait... so now you know exactly what the agencies told him about what The Russians were doing in terms of meddling when they met with Trump--and I know you're aware that they did in fact meet with him to warn about Russian meddling--AND you also know what Trump was thinking that moment he asked publicly for the emails, which were released quickly thereafter? Your God complex is on you. Trump's approval rating is and has been pretty steady actually and it's consistently been lower throughout his presidency than any other President since Jimmy Carter. I wouldn't be bragging about a 43.1% approval rating among likely registered voters. If you think that's a sign the country's coming around on him, that's on you. "Not one vote will NEVER be affected..." Intentional or Freudian slip? Not one Democratic candidate stands a chance? We can make a friendly wager if you want. But if you're just here to puff out your chest while making empty definitive proclamations, that's on you. So do you.

Considering the widespread findings are that, in fact, Russia "tried to" but did not directly influence a single vote, seems Obama's off the hook. Trump's still on the hook and, as we learned from Mueller the other day, is likely still under a counterintelligence investigation. Forgive the fact that anyone might be critical of a guy who is directly warned by multiple US intelligence agencies that Russia is directly meddling in the current election he's participating in and then goes out and says, "Russia, if you're listening, we'd love those emails!" There are very good reasons the majority of this country loathes Trump. I will give him this, he's probably giving the country the most serious evaluation of whether our electoral college is outdated or not. If he happens to win in 2020 (I doubt he will, but after 2016, who knows? Russians and others will still meddle afterall), then I suspect that the American voting system as we know it would have a lifespan of a decade at most.

Oh, that was your attempt to insult me? Living rent free... is this some brand new insult or something? Never heard it... and I'm interacting with 15-18 year olds all year. Weird if you (or Shady, for that matter) think that's an insult considering how much you seem to bring me up and @ me. Makes sense you wouldn't see the irony, though. Thinking much about posters on an Internet Message board? Yah, not me. How much have I even been here this Summer? The very little time I've poked my head in have been to post some offseason relevant stuff. And seeing you and Shady get all hot and bothered is just some added fun.

I wish. Own a home and pay a steep mortgage. Paradise tax.

Season 3 was excellent! Hopper clearly, to me, is still alive. Dug the incorporation of the Neverending Story theme song and how the director filmed that scene. My biggest complaint is how dark it was through a lot of the season. I had to adjust the settings on my TV so I could see at certain times.

No. We're winning 10+ games and going to the playoffs. It shall be.

Gee, I'm sorry. Not all of us here are trying to fill the void left by 26CB's departure that you seem to feel you've filled by breaking news with a new thread a day... way to break that news on how the Bills are hosting Kid's Day on August 18th... you're a top notch news breaker Sorry bro, we're still waiting for the regular season and evidently this conversation is still intermittently happening. The fact that just seeing this thread irritates posters like you and @Foxx is just icing on the cake, baby.

Move to Hawai'i and you can wear rubbah slippaz everywhere every day. I'm going to a wedding this evening and I'll be wearing shorts, an Aloha shirt and my Brown Flojos. Granted, it's a beach wedding. Hell, when I got married I was wearing them, too. If this preoccupied people in WNY, glad I don't live there.

From Rochester. Live in Hawai'i. So... no.

Here are some pretty good indicators of a dropping completion percentage considering longer passes are inherently lower percentage passes:

Looks pretty accurate to me

Aren't negotiations inherently "Up and Down," anyway?

Allen is going to be better and last longer. Jackson is much more frail in his lower half whereas Allen is thick and trunky. And Jackson is not a natural passer. His delivery is just so awkward. True running back playing QB. He has a lot of work in the passing game to do than Allen. And I think Allen is the better runner, anyway.

Allen threw plenty of passes last year that had excellent ball placement just like Brady threw a number of passes with bad ball placement. We just need to see a lot more consistency from Allen.

I've never had any AC. Not central. Not split. Not window units. Wife and I are finally investing in a split AC system for our house after 14 years of living together in Hawai'i without it.

Well, Allen threw the 2nd highest percentage of catchable passes excluding Throwaways among the 7 rookie QBs I compared.

Which was precisely the reason I compared him with 6 other rookie QBs rather than 6 veteran HOF QBs

Did you not read the OP where I laid our my criteria for what a catchable vs an uncatchable pass is? As I said in the OP, if the ball hit (or was able to hit) the WR in the hands as would be considered "mitts" as you allude to, it's catchable. If the WR is ONLY able to get his fingers, but no part of the hand/palm on the ball, it was unwatchable. Our WRs (and OL) blew chunks last year. Let's hope they've improved immensely this offseason.

No, I don't support Socialism. But guess what, none of the candidates support Socialism. Hell, even though Bernie calls himself a "Democratic Socialist," even his system is based on a capitalist foundation and isn't pushing for solely a centrally planned economy with nationalized production. But regardless of Bernie not being an outright Socialist, I don't like how far left he is. Or Warren. It's why I'm glad I still really don't think either gets the nomination. But our country's presentation of health care as a privilege rather than a right needs to go away. I'm not a big fan of the single payer system, which is why I liked the candidates who talked about universal health care in other ways, like fixing the problems that are there and have been with Obamacare, which is what I think will ultimately happen in some form, no matter who is in office because the law is already there and there will be the House and Senate to contend with. But as much as socialism is demonized, we have plenty of socially supported programs and infrastructure and so on that you and I use and benefit from every day that to lay claim that we'd suddenly cross that line into socialism because of what will ultimately be one or maybe two major changes in our country is just ridiculous. I guess I'm curious myself: tell me @Deranged Rhino do you believe we should pay zero taxes?

@Deranged Rhino brought up the 100+million deaths caused by Socialist/Communist--societies. Follow the bread crumbs. It's relevant. If you can't, goggle it

You're all Republicans on here. Your party is really just the de facto Christian party. (Obviously this is the true irony based on the party's practice) A religion discussion is relevant in this instance considering you're claiming Communism and Socialism are responsible for over 100 million deaths. So I guess I would ask, to what degree are the ideologies themselves responsible for those deaths? Hell, communist/socialist ideology wasn't remotely connected to the Nazi regime's reason for slaughtering Jews. That was actually more of a religious reason than anything.

Sheer numbers, sure, but not as far as percentage of the population. Religions have slaughtered a significantly higher percentage of population throughout history in accordance with their time periods. Besides, it's all religion of some sort, whether worshipping a God or green or flag or whatever, they all do the exact same thing, which is what ultimately results in bloodshed: Separate Us into Them. Seems things like the truth gets under your skin.
