    I don’t think so, generally speaking.  The question in my opinion is whether or not the duty to exercise care can be delegated to another individual, and whether or not his actions violated the standards expected. 
     

    So, someone hands him a gun, he points it away from people in the area to test fire, something jams and shrapnel hits the person next to him.  In that case, I see the application of your logic. 
     

    In this case, knowing there was live ammunition on set, knowing there were safety concerns, and pointing the guy at two individuals, pulling the trigger and subsequently saying he didn’t…seems reasonable to charge.  
     

    These rules are well established generally, and on a movie set, I would think the standard would be higher still.  
     

     

     

    I think the #1 thing here is, WHY was there any live ammunition on set?  I think the investigation has to start there.

    Fact. But its interesting how quiet those 81 million became.

     

     

     

    Just because people don't feel the need to scream it from the rooftops, or have MAGA hats, or have TRUMP/BIDEN flags everywhere doesn't mean they don't support their candidate.  I didn't vote for Trump or the Democratic nominees in either of the last 2 elections, but if I had, no one would know either way as I don't feel the need to tell everyone I see.

     You try and secure a deal, in principle, before the tag deadline comes and goes? If not don't tag him. Just would suck to let him leave with nothing to show for it after spending a 1st rounder & the 1st pick of the 3rd to trade for him.

     

     

     

    In that scenario, you have very little leverage because he will command a huge salary and draft picks to get.  Teams know Buffalo can't pay him $20+ million a year, so they really can't risk him being on the tag.  He's not top tier elite where people are willing to drop money and picks.

    No, Allen’s not twice as good as Joe Burrow. I like what he can do better than Burrow, but others opinions will vary. It’s pretty close between Allen, Mahomes and Burrow although I’d put Burrow third in that group. Anyone who thinks one of those three is far ahead of the others is simply a fanboy. 

     

    You said that given the same circumstances Allen would have put up 55 points and Burrow put up 27.  Do you truly believe that Allen is 28 points better? 

     

    I think Allen and Mahomes probably have the highest ceiling with Burrow being very close behind them but Allen has by far the lowest floor because he turns the ball over a lot.

    Um, Burrow may have had a hobbled OL, but he had little pressure on him from our Defense.  (and I like Burrow).  Put Allen on that offense with those receivers, RB, and against a team that can't pressure you and he scores 55 against our pathetic sit-back D.  

     

    You're greatly overestimating Allen. He's not better than Burrow. Especially not twice as good.

    This is 100% correct.  I agree JA may have "regressed" in terms of being our super-man, but switch Burrow and Allen and the score would have been 55-3.  

     

    Come on now. There's a pretty good argument for Burrow over Allen. Allen is great, but don't act like Burrow is a bum. Burrow had a hobbled center and was missing 3 other starting Olineman. He has better WRs for sure. But Allen is much more mistake prone.

    Hindsight is 20/20.  Pretty sure Jones would have been the most useful DT we could have put out there today.  Bengals OL is just moving guys around.  Probably thought Phillips and Oliver were the pass rushers but so far no one is getting there would have rather had a guy who could hold his ground.

     

    Jones is hurt. He wasn't a healthy scratch.

    Purdy didn’t look great when the elements were more challenging. Don’t know if he had jitters or small hands, but in the end his stat line is inflated from the huge 2nd half where the weather was sunny and dry. 

     

    Yes,  most QBs struggle in really bad weather.  

     

    Purdy hasn't just been "good." He's been sensational.  The highest rated QB in the league since week 11 when he began starting.   That's insane. 

     

    Do I think he's the best QB in the league based on that? Absolutely not.  But it's not just "lack of tape" either.

    On PTI, Kornheiser half-jokingly suggested to Wilbon that his Bears should trade Fields and the #1 pick to the Ravens for Lamar....not a fan of LJ, but I think the Ravens would have to consider it at this point.

     

    Would contract consider that though? Fields plus a boatload of picks > Jackson and a huge conteact.

    Your assumptions are quite telling 

     

    I am well aware of what “my own” article says. NO ONE on the right says that the Russians didn’t try to interfere in the 2016 election, in fact it was our stand that they have for decades 

     

    Today the Washington Post admitted that they had no influence on the outcome. Surely you have read the almost daily posts from the usual suspects here that Russia stole the election from Hillary because Trump was a Putin stooge ?

     

    That nonsense needs to be laughed at as often as possible. 
     

     

     

    .

     

    It says NOWHERE that the Russians had no impact entirely.  It says that the Russian troll accounts on TWITTER had no impact.  Those are 2 different things entirely. 

     

    You are stating they had no impact at all.  The articles you posted says the Twitter accounts had no impact on the election.  Twitter is obviously not the only avenue to take in this situation.  So either you didn't read/understand fully what it said, or you are trying to mislead people.

    There were links to three different news articles.

     

    and the twitter dodge is the best you can deflect with.

     

    So weak.

     

     

     

     

    Your own article says that there was no impact made by the Russian accounts on Twitter.  Not that there wasn't Russian interference, but that the Russian troll accounts on Twitter did not impact the elections.  

     

    From your own article:

     

    "Citing a new study, the Post reports that there was no appreciable impact made by Russian “trolls” operating on Twitter during the 2016 election."

     

    The "trolls operating on Twitter" had no impact.  I am not arguing that there was a bunch of Russian interference because I haven't seen enough evidence one way or the other, but your post is really misleading too.

    Joe Wood DC in Cleveland fired at 6:30 AM. Media here are saying he is just a scapegoat for a dysfunctional organization. They are still piling on Stefanski but he may yet survive. 

     

    3 years in a row Joe Woods would play zone coverage nonstop while Cleveland's corners excel in man to man.  He always would switch with like 5 games left and the defense would improve tremendously.  I don't fully blame him for the run defense though because he was saddled with crap DTs.

    Which dem senator did Trump appear in public with to celebrate that one?

     

     

    Who cares about public?  Is that really the requirement now?  And again, we have no idea if that would be a Democrat or a Trump thing, because Trump wouldn't give Democrats credit for anything they did do.  The dude was an "expert" on everything, the "best" at everything, and took credit for everything he could, even if he wasn't involved.  I doubt his partisan hack ego could allow them to show up together.

    The post wasn't talking about politicians taking the opportunity to glad hand over pork barrel handouts regardless of party affiliation.

     

    It asked for examples of other side of the aisle politicians, specifically senators, doing it with Trump.

     

    Again, we'll wait.

     

    First Step Act of 2018 is one for criminal justice changes.

     

    And your criteria isn't necessarily showing great Republican "bipartisanship" as you seem to believe.  Trump was also as partisan as it gets, and tried to withhold emergency federal funding because it was to a Democratic state.  So it wasn't always Democrats refusing to work with him, though it obviously goes both ways there entirely too often.  

     

    Both parties are garbage, everyone knows  they're garbage, yet we sit here and argue about whose garbage smells better.  And we draw lines over who has the best garbage while the parties are the same damn thing painted different colors.

    McConnell's Kentucky is one of the welfare capitals of the country.  Of course he is going to support another federally funded infrastructure project in his own state.  Kentucky receives 215% more federal funding than they pay in.  

     

    This isn't some great "bipartisan" plan.  It's Kentucky with their hand out, like usual.

    Well Baltimore and Kansas City lost to Buffalo, the Ravens might have a case but they will also get that opportunity in week 18 against the Bengals. If they win, they win the division which is best case for Baltimore anyways.

     

    Kansas City has no room to talk if they decide to give Buffalo the 1 seed because they lost to Buffalo. If they decide to give the 1 seed to Cincinnati, Kansas City has no room to talk. 

     

    KC does have room to talk because that is not how home field works.  It is based on overall record, not just head to head.  Head to head is the tie breaker, not the deciding factor.  

     

    I don't see any way that Buffalo and Cinci don't finish the game.  The question will be WHEN and how to change the other schedules to accommodate it.

    Who cares about the NFC?  This should be about ensuring the fairest possible outcome to the most possible teams.  The NFC doesn't have an inequity issue with their playoff process.

     

    I understand, but like I said, that really doesn't accomplish anything.  It would give one team of Cinci and Buffalo a bye, and the other one would probably go without.  I think if anything, the playoffs will be delayed in their entirety to give Cinci and Buffalo a chance to finish the game.  Still not perfect, but there are way too many other moving parts to do things otherwise.  Otherwise there could be tons of teams not involved that would get directly punished by this situation.
