SectionC3

I don't dispute that. But there's an almost equally bad sense of apathy about it. Another day, another lunatic, another mass shooting. This one wasn't a trans or a furry or whatever, and it doesn't involve bail laws, so there's no outrage. Which is wrong.

Now I know why he breaks so many tackles.

They change the timing. All it means is that the kicker is ready. Holder usually gets green light from kicker, then looks at snapper and taps the ground with right hand.

I think the LS on that game was a DeOssie they recruited from the couch to fill in. And, weirdly, the fire drill would have resulted in a TD pass but the receiver got a smoked before the ball arrived.

I think there’s something to this. He floated a snap on a punt from the tunnel side against Miami, which I firmly believe led to Miami going hard after the punt on which they took the penalty. Same deal in this game. I get NO needed the block, but they sold out like they had it. Couple that with the worm burner on the FG and he has not had a good couple of weeks. The operation is slow and it’s an issue. Ask the Giants of about 25 years ago that question. Cost them a playoff game. If snapped properly the laces don’t have to be turned at the current distance (7.75 yards).

Did the TV broadcast indicate whether McD handled playcalling in the second half today? I sit on the opposite side of the stadium, and I don’t take binoculars in. BUT, from my distant perch, I saw him routinely stationed about 20 yards on the defensive side of the LOS with what appeared to be a play sheet when NO had the ball. My impression was that he was running the D. See above.

Agreed completely and what I was going to say. That took some guts. Good on him.

And, perversely, the injury might have been good for them too. Allen got to play a bit, sit back without being benched, and then made some significant strides when he returned to the field (with Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley around).

I don’t disagree. But I think it’s going to happen faster than people think now. The NFL props a lot of the nets up. Kind of like malls that don’t make a buck until Black Friday. If I’m Disney and the affiliates want to give me a hard time, I’m more inclined to sell direct to consumer via streaming and leave OTA.

Not true. I understand it well. Local news is a piece of what these guys do. But don’t forget that cross promotion drives viewership. It leads, if you will. If what you’re saying is true, then there’d be no need to be with a network and some peashooter like WBBZ in Buffalo would have greater value to support a robust news department etc. It’s not there. Ask around - the most valuable inventory for these people is local avails for national shoes (now, principally, sports). *** I just read your whole post. Frankly I don’t think we’re too far apart, and that you misread what I wrote. I agree that local TV is headed the way of radio. That’s why Kimmel’s recent success might hasten ABC’s movement to a streaming conglomerate. Nexstar and Scripps want to preempt? Get your programming somewhere else, says ABC. And then buy the stations later for a song if you want that OTA option and after Nextstar can’t make its nut.

You want to know who the loser is in this? Nexstar and its merge partner (Scripps?). What are those stations going to broadcast without ABC? Old time shows like WBBZ in Buffalo? Other dreck? Good luck making your nut on that. In the meantime, ABC learned that it can spread this content to a wide audience via Hulu and YouTube. So maybe OTA TV is in trouble. But the content that these networks can broadcast online is not. I would be pissing bullets if I was at Nextstar, etc.

Not necessarily. It just means there's legally sufficient evidence of a crime (whatever he was indicted for). Proving it is a different matter. I haven't read anything about this case other than this thread and a couple of reports about the AG's skepticism with respect to the case. The skepticism is natural b/c perjury cases are tough to prove. So we'll see. Try the case and let's find out. Except J6ers. They're all above the law.

J6 choir. Hoax. There is some cool stuff on here, though. Karma Police is a great song. If you're not thinking about anuses, then you're posting about balls. Gross.

Yeah, you haven’t been around enough to see the other side of the systemic racism coin. I agree that, at some point, AA has to go away. But to call it evil or what have you simply reflects a lack of real life experience. Misused, perhaps, but certainly not of ill intent.

I wonder how he feels about J6.

Sounds like you hang out with a good crowd. It’s not the crowd that I see. And I run in a LOT of different circles. There’s too many losers out there who want to blame someone else (immigrants, Chinese, parents, women) for their struggles. They need to shut up and outwork the people they complain about.

Another reason why they should stop listening to podcasts and go out and find work. It’s not just young men on the “left” who are lost. It’s men on the right side, or at least what they see is the modern day right, too. Here’s an example. Four twentysomethings sat near me at the Bills game last week. Each of them cheered for Charlie Kirk. One of them screamed “f you, b” at a woman who didn’t clap for the memorial. All of them dipped, bought booze, and generally whined about their jobs, living with their parents, what chick they believed they could bang but really had no shot to any rational observer, etc. what’s the moral of the story? The video game generation is lost, on both sides, try all need to grow up, get a job, get off the internet, show some responsibility and accountability, and get to work. Stop medicating with booze, podcasts that tell them they aren’t losers, video games, and braggadocio and make a better life for themselves.

J6 pardons. Chris Collins pardon.

I believe you said “illegal criminals.” Let’s assume that being here illegally is criminal. Seems like “illegals” would cover the criminality piece. But you continued and added “criminals,” which implies addition, or different illegal activity of, again in what I recall to be your words, “millions.” And that piece, simply, is a gross exaggeration. Prove me wrong. So, looks like you chose “inept” here. And you voted for inept. Prove me wrong.

Either that’s a gross embellishment (it is), these people are all masterminds and really good at hiding and doing crime at the same time (they’re not), or this administration’s deportation efforts are inept (which may be true). Prove me wrong.

Hoax. It's true. Just like the assassination was a moment in history. We'll see about the consequence of the moment in the years to come. When you mentioned racism and sexism I thought you were talking about Trump.

Stop the Steal!

You don't even know what Smith Mundt is. Not the faintest idea. And, as it happens, they didn't fire him. Or cancel the show. Looks like it was all about the FCC in the first place.

Trump.

What’s it say about republicans that he took over their party? Lots of people are saying that none of them was at J6.
