Good thread! The original headline is my only issue - way sensational and, well, silly. The OPs comments and many of the thoughtful posts along the way have really good, smart, good football chatter! Thank you, all!!!
Are there QBs still ahead of him who aren't in the HOF? How many HOFers are statistically behind him? Love the Dude, but it's a weird walk you're talkin here!!!
public schools, police departments, fire departments, roads, national military, public water, your tax dollars helping folks seven states away, network TV, public utilities, snow removal, post office, street/traffic lights, AM/FM radio, . . .
I'm saddened by your story - and grateful for cops, firefighters and others, who everyday in their normal lives risk for the rest of us.
But, to be clear, most of the moments of this past year that have reignited all this frustration and anger don't really seem to fit into that split-second choice kind of moment - and that's really why folks notice and judge it to be wrong.
The conversation isn't about individual cops, it's about the structures that we've used for 400 years to separate people into "valuable" and "not really". It's about red-lining, and then how cops are trained and missioned to "protect and serve" those neighborhoods. It's about poverty and disenfranchisement. ...
Of course not all cops are bad -- almost all of them are good -- but they system isn't.
makes sense - but against the jets, maybe we're better off "passing to set up the run game" - why butt heads with them at their strongest (only strong) point?
Your free speech comes with everyone else's. He just told you to turn off your keyboard. He didn't make you do it. That's how free speech works. You say your piece, other people say theirs. No blood, no foul.
I have high hopes (and expectations!) for Josh and the offense, but to stress over our top ranked defense seems like wasting time ... Glad the actual game are starting!
Even if there's no room at the moment, seems like due diligence for this year to have a handle on the viability of LOTS of extra "almost" guys who will be needed to fill in when the inevitable happens.
