  1. Bruce Dickinson 'Son of a Gun' lyrics: He loaded bullets as he smiled.Congregation sat and wondered.Would they live or would they die.Just an ordinary man, with his orders and his plans. Just too appropriate
  2. Now we pray that if this ball comes in hotter, he still snares it.
  3. I'm thinking he's Star lite. Same kinda guy with same limitations. Maybe a little better penetration, but it will be nice having them both playing alongside Ed. They're built for that.
  4. Which position do you feel is so weak that it deserves a splashy upgrade? I don't see any glaring holes. Keep in mind these depth guys will be seeing the field.
  5. If they wanna dump him after this year, they can save a boatload of real cash, and a penalty of only $4m. They did ok with Zo with his age, so I'm guessing they feel MA has plenty in the tank. They know this guy well.
  6. The NFL is cutting back a lot on padded practices. Maximum number in TC goes from 28 to 16. During the season it's 14 max. This will be a factor in the development of rookie WR's as their development sometimes takes a few seasons. Add in the fact that SD is only 26, and there's not a good chance that a WR picked at #22 may not even have his ceiling it makes it seem like a pretty good deal. If the contract was bad I'd be concerned, but before his contract ends, he will likely be well outside the top 30 WR's. My concern is that Josh won't be able to get him the ball. I'm not as big on his speed separation as most, and Josh will have to trust just popping it in there. The guy runs full speed with his head on a swivel like no other, so Josh will just have to trust him and his adjustments to the ball.
  7. Phrasing it as certain precincts certainly makes it more believable than saying cities, but it's still sort of a moot point as they are Dem strongholds. A few less votes probably wouldn't turn the state's to red anyways. I'm curious as to why Republicans aren't/wouldn't be doing the same thing? If the premise is Republicans are too honest of people to do it, then that wouldn't be sincere. If that is the case, then maybe they shouldn't be. The registration and voting procedures are exactly the same for both parties.
  8. He specifically said cities, and even listed each of them. Again, the data is elusive, so I'm not going to argue something that can't be proven, but when 20% of voting age people are voting I can't see what crazy math it would take to say that 100% of registered voters voted.
  9. I found this to be very interesting though, and it seems to show what little faith people have in the process itself. Look at the chart above the article: Even in the last presidential election, just 56 percent of could-be voters showed up to the polls. In fact, in hundreds of counties around the U.S., the number of eligible individuals who did not vote far outweighed the number of ballots actually cast for Donald Trump or Hillary Clinton in 2016. If those millions of no-shows had picked “nobody” on the ballot—the effective choice of their abstention—“nobody” would have won in a landslide. https://www.citylab.com/life/2018/11/voter-turnout-midterm-election-statistics-map/574939/
  10. The article goes deeper than just 2016. Here's a quote: "Lack of voter turnout is a problem in nearly every city, not just every four years, but every year in local elections. According to an analysis from Portland State University, turnout in the nation’s largest 30 cities is a dismal 20 percent of the voting age population." I couldn't find much hard data, but most articles and data seemed to be of this general consensus
  11. I'm not saying you're wrong, but this is what I found: Cities lead the nation in many ways, but not in voter turnout https://thehill.com/blogs/pundits-blog/campaign/309190-cities-lead-the-nation-in-many-ways-but-not-in-voter-turnout
  12. Poll: Majority say Trump should be removed by Senate https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/479427-poll-majority-say-trump-should-be-removed-by-senate
  13. The Jets are going to have to do it, and pretend they're very interested.
  14. This is such the pre-season game w/o the pressure to see something good happen. I'm just laughing and smiling the whole way through
  15. You'll likely be seeing a lot of it next year when Shaq's gone
  16. To be fair MB should be checking down, because his arm isn't up to the passes he's attempting
  17. It's insufferable. So glad I'm not witnessing it
  18. 2020 is predicted to be the Chinese year of the hot take
  19. I didn't see the anthem. They just talked about it now
