  1. i had just moved into my house the day before so it was still full of unpacked boxes. i almost left at halftime to go get started on unpacking that stuff but i was at the game with like eight friends and family members so my dad talked me into staying and just partying with everybody. thank you dad
  2. 'so did you ever make it into the nfl?' nah man 'yes i know, im wondering if you ever made it into the nfl?' NAH, man 'well if you dont want to answer just say so.' who's on first?
  3. the last time andy reid took over the roster he proceeded to bomb in short order. lets hope for a repeat performance
  4. oh yeah? then what about guiness draught, huh? and what about alec guiness who was English? not so high and mighty now are you
  5. you should be embarrassed making such a ridiculous statement that kind of thing happens to OTHER teams what the hell were you thinking?
  6. the only thing the new coach 'owning' a loong playoff drought does is acknowledge the elephant in the room. it feels nice to admit we all see it, but it doesnt do anything to get it to move the hell out theyve decided to eschew the tank and try to start building a winner from the start. frankly, i dont think they can do it with this roster. but if mcd wants to really own the playoff-less streak he can start by showing everybody hes the kind of coach that will build the kind of organization to get it done sooner rather than later so far so good as ive liked what ive seen out of him, but it dont mean nuthin until they start counting W's and L's
  7. thanks for sharing your story ive studied this topic on an amateur level for decades (also married and divorced a crazy black woman) and man are you correct by my estimation, black folks over-estimate instances of racism by AT LEAST 400%. that means for every 1 time they really do have do endure some racist white !@#$ being a dick, they are CREATING four more racist instances in their heads some guy cuts them off in traffic: racism. some guy doesnt nod hello as he walks by: racism. some woman clutches her purse tightly in a mixed crowd: racism. some guy votes for a blowhard charlatan: racist no wonder most black folks see racism everywhere ... they are manufacturing most of it in their minds as we continue to work hard to erase as much of the old-timey white racism as we can, we have to remember black folks have their powerful biases as well. that includes this dramatic over-estimation of perceived racism, as well as wide spread bias against whites that for some crazy reason we still hesitate to call racism true but lets keep in mind we as a culture just spent the last ten plus years mercilessly broadbrushing heartland whites as virulent racists by default. i grew up with those ppl, most of them indeed were horribly racist back around 1970. but that slowly improved over the next couple decades (too way too damn long) and finally flipped over about 1990. since then most whites absolutely have NOT been racist. we still saw a lot of racism simply bc theres 197 million whites to 38 million blacks, but the fact remains that whiteness FINALLY overcame their roaring bias (took them waay too long) as a percentage of population amazingly, since then its been an almost non-stop attack against whiteness as being 'racist by default'. in case you havent realized it yet, this is what fueled the election of an incompetent buffoon, a sea of pissed off ppl sick and tired of being labeled automatically racist when they know they (mostly) werent so bottom line is white ppl have a little bit of hyper-sensitivity on the issue right now, as we saw in this thread. give it some time, it will pass in due course once they get it out of their system
  8. we could ask that guy meech smith to do it but then we'd need a translation of the translation
  9. go ahead and try to tell me that wouldnt be very jetsy then watch the bills tank and darnold waits another year
  10. The Supreme Court declared Monday that it will consider whether gerrymandered election maps favoring one political party over another violate the Constitution, a potentially fundamental change in the way American elections are conducted. The justices regularly are called to invalidate state electoral maps that have been illegally drawn to reduce the influence of racial minorities by depressing the impact of their votes. But the Supreme Court has never found a plan unconstitutional because of partisan gerrymandering. If it does, it would have a revolutionary impact on the reapportionment that comes after the 2020 election and could come at the expense of Republicans, who control the process in the majority of states. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/courts_law/supreme-court-to-hear-potentially-landmark-case-on-partisan-gerrymandering/2017/06/19/d525237e-5435-11e7-b38e-35fd8e0c288f_story.html?utm_term=.545c3def9556 thank god maybe we can finally end this ridiculous scourge on american political fairness the solution is computer generated districts. lets pray the sc pushes us in that direction: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/06/03/this-computer-programmer-solved-gerrymandering-in-his-spare-time/?utm_term=.ab7a0d096e3a https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/01/13/this-is-actually-what-america-would-look-like-without-gerrymandering/?utm_term=.66fdcd33013d

  13. Trump's actions have 'weakened' the West, German foreign minister says Germany's foreign minister launched a scathing criticism of Donald Trump on Monday, claiming the US President's actions have "weakened" the West and accusing the US government of standing "against the interests of the European Union." Just 24 hours after German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that Europe could no longer completely rely on traditional allies such as the US and Britain, the country's top diplomat, Sigmar Gabriel, went a step further. "Anyone who accelerates climate change by weakening environmental protection, who sells more weapons in conflict zones and who does not want to politically resolve religious conflicts is putting peace in Europe at risk," Gabriel said. "The short-sighted policies of the American government stand against the interests of the European Union. The West has become smaller, at least it has become weaker." http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/29/europe/angela-merkel-uk-amber-rudd/ ouch blunt blast of disdain for don and his vision cant say that i blame her. but still owwch i also find it hard to believe dons term will turn into anything but disaster. we will find out if shes and i are right or not soon, i suspect. still giving don that lightning strike chance in hell he grows the fk up and turns things around. c'mon miracle in the mean time germany has to move on. i can see that
  14. i just dont thing its realistic at all to say it will be an open competition at qb i mean c'mon, there isnt a chance in hell any of these guys are going to outplay him this early in their development. tj hooker is a vet but he simply doesnt have the capability to play at ty's level. do they really intend to pay him 15 mil to split reps with a bunch of greenies and a scrub? so it seems counter-productive to me to say its an open competition. nobody is going to believe that so it strains their credibility. even if they did try to have an open competition they are wasting valuable reps in a new offense when its virtually guaranteed that tyrod would win the opening round in the very short term it sounds good to say 'everybody earns their spot'. but once the reality sets in they better shift gears fast to allow ty to get ready for the season. unless they actually plan to tank the season they cant waste those reps for very long
