  1. Amen. We can start with this guy. Heck, hall him off to jail for a decade.
  2. Fair point, but I really trust her judgement. She's thorough, for example, her radiator is leaking in her car and she just bought 7 gallons of anti-freeze. Dealer can't find a problem, they say but she's sure of it. How she does it all and still finds time to make soup is beyond me.
  3. If you're guilty of the behavior you feel badly about, or were guilty of it at one time and have bit grown as a human being thereafter, you have limitations but why bother mentioning it? You're limited, after all. If on the other hand, you think it's your obligation to atone for all the bad things that "white men" are responsible for in the world, have at it. I hear ya. I was at the local high school the other day and caught a couple female teachers coming out of the break room. I showed 'em the many, many mugshots of female teachers arrested for sexual assaults on students. When I was done there I screamed at the white male teachers for the same thing, and reminded them that they are also un-oppressed. They were very receptive, except an English teacher who told me un-oppressed is not actually a word. I also tell my wife all the time how frigging sorry should be for all the white women who have killed their husbands for insurance money. She asked me about the white dudes who offed their spouses, which I did not see coming. It's all very liberating.
  4. Sam Darnold was by virtually every account solid or better week 1. Jets win. Week 2, I read a headline that said more negatives than positive. Jets lose. The major swings in consistency are the benchmark that define Darnold's career, and he appears at best a middling qb. If he does not improve his career win/loss % will be around .500%. If you think that's acceptable I don't know what to tell you.
  5. Just a quick reminder, the popular vote is really important in many ways. But, as you probably know, the outcome of the electoral college is what really matters. Come and sit at the table with other patriotic Americans, we have a seat for you over near the bathroom, and one of the legs is shorter than the other, but all are welcome here. Your President Trump cares for you and wants you to know you're really gonna be ok.
  6. The only sensible solution is to have the anonymous party take a lie detector test administered anonymously and a quick summary of the test be given to us by a neutral party. Al Franken perhaps, or maybe Al Sharpton. Whatever else happens, we need to slow down until someone else can be nominated.
  7. Damn, I thought I had it all covered. Nicely done.
  8. I saw somewhere that two of Diane Feinstein's grade school classmates have written in support of their old friend, whom they feel is the true victim here. The NYT is reporting one "Susan B. Anthony" and an "Eleanor 'Els' Roosevelt" have vouched for her character and moral turpitude. To be fair, the Times has not independently verified the accuracy of the letters as they stated "..both appear to have been deceased for quite some time..." This $#@$ just got real
  9. My recollection on the hit was it was obvious, and cheap and should have resulted in a one game suspension. On the other hand troy aikman & joe buck thought him shoving dalton 3 seconds after the ball 2ae out of his hand was a bogus call.
  10. Forgot to look. Was he fined for the forearm to JA last week? That hit was very cheap.
  11. I believe he's waiting for the end game of herr mueller's investigation. There can be little doubt that there is a ton of damaging information that he can release that will cover most entrenched politicians in Washington. What we know about Obama and his crew is enough for a reasonable observer to recognize the Russians weren't the only ones screwing around with the election.
  12. The amazingly sad predicament of a lipstick liberal is having to look at the atrocity of the post-election hubbub of things like collusion and Russia, coupled with the farcical theatrics of Sens Booker & Feinstein, and then come onto this board and offer something as stunningly juvenile as "if this candidate is a sexual predator...". To be lead around on a leash by Feinstein et al is one thing, to lie prostrate on the front of her, ass in the air is another. That's really it, there's no bottom beneath this. The bench on their team is manned by an 86 year old dupe for a Chinese spy, a guy from Jersey with an odd fascination for gladitaor movies, and a woman who thinks she can lay claim to Native American heritage because she was conceived in the rumble seat of her Daddy's 29 Ford. Patheric.
  13. Wow, what a series of unfortunate events. The poor guys door ajar, probably didn't latch it or left it ajar for whatever reason, the lady thinks she's at her place, and the door is open because, obviously there is a robbery ongoing. Because she's a police officer, she continues in and the guy dies. Damn shame however it plays out criminally.
  14. I won't be bullied, and I respectfully decline to factor that in.
  15. hyperbole, my four legged friend. Though, if both teams sucked equally, the tie breaker is who scored less points.
  16. As poorly as Stafford and the lions are playing, they are 10x better than the Bills yesterday. In fact it's not even close.
  17. I can't get past the style. It always makes me think the announcer is trying too hard, even though she may not be doing that at all.
  18. She does that 70s rock dj voice, and I end up wondering why she's doing a rock dj voice decades after it went out of style.
  19. The play sequence when the jets defense tackled the rb for a 7 yard loss, and then they made the lions guy kick the ball with his foot. Is that legal? I didn't see the ravens do that yesterday.
  20. A team not wanting to sign a guy because he's a PR nightmare, and by some accounts moderately talented, equates to "blackballing"? To me, it simply equates to a moderately talented guy who isn't worth the trouble, whining about how there is a 32 team league -wide conspiracy to keep him from the destiny he and he alone so richly deserves. The cool part is how as a society, we're reached a point where people can be outraged that someone is not offered a job because he "deserves" it after walking away for $14m. Progress.
  21. It would screw up the ad campaign. Multimillionaire football player risks losing everything, some people will buy it. Multimillionaire football player risks everything, loses all (except the money), comes back to play qb in Buffalo only to find collusion is actually the better option? No way.
  22. The last time someone looked at a tape this horrific, a creepy little girl with wet and stringy long hair climbed out of the tv and stole the soul of anyone who watched it.
  23. When you put aside the score and general flow of 60 minutes of football, and look at intangibles, it's, you know, all that matters from 50,000 feet.
  24. Doc, I'm not anti-union, recognize the need for social programs and don't begrudge anyone the deal they have even if it's a deal better than I have. That said, in the world of haves and have nots, public sector employees are in the "have" category and it's not even close. The union(s) that represent the members do exactly what you accuse the health insurance companies of, that is, strike deals that are in the best interest of their members regardless of the financial impact on the have nots. To make matters worse, the deals that were/are struck for retirement benefits directly benefiting everyone involved in the negotiations. As I see it, the NYSTU is less a union, and more a corporation acting in its own best interests. On on the other hand, when you talk about 'free market insurance' companies, the regulatory environment pre-NYS dictated what was covered, how it was covered, rates that could be charged and who got what, when and where. It also dictated the penalties for non-compliance. As stated earlier, I'm not ant-union, and I am not pro-insurance company for a number of reasons. However, as with most things in life, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. Reasonable regulation coupled with a competitive market probably makes the most sense. But when you have people out there screaming about greedy insurance companies denying people for "pre-existing conditions", the situation was always much more complex than "poor Suzie paid her premiums for 10 years straight and found a lump and they cancelled her on the spot!". Very little happened without the approval of the state government.
  25. There "The Dude, contractor, part-time electrician and President-Emeritus of the He-man-woman-driver-hating Club reads B-man's reply, turns to the refrigerator, opens the door and applies some Land O' Lakes butter to that burn..." end scene
