Controversial take: Train horn>>Thiiiiird Doownn!! I mean, I'm not a big of either, but, flame away.

Uncontested thread winner: [x] Confirmed [ ] Not confirmed

(1) Important point boyst: absolutely cameras everywhere w facial recognition, in stadium. Mature tech and process. You walk in, pic taken (2) Sworn LEOs absolutely in stadium TOC (3)Further, the database(s) are in that TOC, this from a direct source I've known for many years (not at Highmark). But, for variety of legal/civil liberty reasons, would not be accessed unless someone truly f's up, which leads to detainment or arrest, again by LEO. As an aside: man, you gotta keep your hands off the players, regardless of circumstance.

I hate to even dignify this w a response. Somehow, you've literally trumped your prior comment. The above is something so unabashedly grotesque, that (as a strong free speech advocate), I would advise that you be banned from this board. And I'm not some RW mouth-breather, btw. But, Jesus H, I freaking hate/hate keyboard warriors. I actually was in the fight, for many years, and I can take a lot. But this is utterly beyond the pale. I'm done. I trust we never meet, bc, I assure you, it would not be pleasant.

I'm always very measured, calm, in all my comments, across the entire TSW board. But this is truly sick, you a-hole m-fer. If you want to find that "good guy"....well, I won't say anymore.

As you point out, DH variable may loom large, so I'm interested in this. There are no perfect 1-1 comparisons, but just quick math. Emmit Smith had roughly 5250 touches, college/pro, thru 11 nfl seasons. Thereafter, a dip in his production, though not profound, can be discerned. DH has roughly 3100 college/pro touches thru 9 NFL seasons. Different players, definitely different body types/usage. I get it. But, my thumbnail, 5 min conclusion is that Henry has a season plus before we see a consistent drop in effectiveness. Barring injury of course. Totally open mind, so willing to be otherwise persuaded.

Spikes, I love your food thread(s), so don't take this the wrong way: I've eaten multiple chickens in both named countries, plus many others across MENA-AFR region. Always found them to have significantly better flavor than, say, a random chicken bought at Tops or Wegmans. Of course, there's always the danger of food safety when eating locally, or "on the economy" as some folks are familiar with this phrase. Won't elaborate painful memories here...I'm sure we all have relatable stories. Anyway, good luck: very interested in your results!!

O/T: James Starks bought his family a very nice house in NF, few doors down from me. Don't know him. But, when he visits, he often walks with xyz down the street. All I can think is "that dude is one big m-fer!"

Thanks, actually quite a nice piece. For our amateur nutritionists on the board (incl myself)--who have been banging away at what he's eating--note the following: Allen also hired a chef to make meals for him two nights a week, and he’s cut back on sugar and dairy—“That’s still a process,” he says, “I’m learning about and getting into what’s better for my body.” Ok, so he's (they) got multi-millions, and honestly should have FT personal chef and nutritionist. So, he's clearly not "There" yet, but it's definitely better than where he was, say, in the first few years.

Dude, come on, relax...I just didn't want to get into his personal life. I only mentioned it bc, at one point a while back, a board member asked me why he left, and I didn't care to expand.

Kurt Schulz, but he moved away a few years ago...for reasons.

Hah! Even though you didn't read the pages Logic, you still win the thread.

Yeah, loved his game. '21 season was Beasley-esque. Don't quote me, but his catch rate was ridiculous (maybe 80%+), along w amazing success rate. But, as @BarleyNY mentioned, he had serious health issues, along w injuries in '22 season. Too bad: the kind of "not the best athlete but great technician" player that one can easily root for.

Agreed, good idea. Preseason should be labeled as: TS/SCI/HCS/NOFORN/ORCON HCS: Humint, for players only NOFORN: non-US personnel should not be subjected to this crap ORCON: originator-controlled distribution...so we'll allow @Simon to control all flow of information

Well, he did get caught with a hot .38 in his carry-on luggage, so maybe that helped a bit. /s

Luv ya Drac, but I'm gonna be pedantic: this is a very Clinton-esque question, so I don't know how to reply. (Meanwhile, we need more vids of you on bass. Love the pinky hammer-ons and pull offs, which are freaking hard to do...for us amateurs)

Love the write-ups. Really appreciate the post. But favorite part this edition: the pic of #22. Why? I'm basically his height, and a very solid 176+ after many, many years of training. But Davis outweighs me by 40 pounds...of (mostly) muscle!! These athletes are just unbelievable, freakish specimens. (Please understand: not turning this into "Kincaid is skinny" thread. Just emphasizing the difference bn pro athletes and us regular folks)

Maybe a typo, but "domes to mind" is brilliant wordplay. I'm stealing this phrase, with all attribution back to you MGK!

Good analysis. I'm impressed by board members who can work thru these team-by-team matters rather quickly. (Then again, I'm a self-reported dumb sh*t on these types of things)

How do you know we haven't done that already? Indeed, it was my "go to" for any recalcitrant detainee. //s

I'm going to start a new thread here. Title: What Are We Not Talking About That We Should Be Talking About?

Incredible, beautiful story Dawg, and well-written. JA is THE 29-yo we want leading a $4B franchise. Meanwhile, TSW needs to add a "Double Awesome" reaction. I'm looking at you @Simon!!

I get your point brother, and realize you said "conversation". But, I don't know man... have you ever done a no-sh*t interrogation, esp of someone (non-English speaking), when you know he and his group are trying to kill you and your colleagues? Try playing dumb, at least for a strategic moment or two. Results can be...plentiful.

Bills, other teams, the League itself: all employ ex-cops to conduct these investigations. Reading the actual filed complaint, experienced investigators would be well aware of, and check, the absolute "knowables": (1) if an immediate report was filed w "local law enforcement" (language in complaint) (2) if a SANE test was indeed conducted Naturally, there are other material facts that can be discovered with relatively minimal digging. Snapchat is another matter entirely, unless local LEO, at time of alleged incident report, had access to, and then preserved, that information.

Good point WEO. A good friend of mine, Peter Landesman (shameless name-dropping) wrote and directed the CTE-related movie, Concussion. At the time, there was quite a bit of push back from The Shield, so I asked him if he thought his film would fundamentally change things. His reply, paraphrasing, "not a fu*king chance".
