Phuc Dat Bich Wants Facebook To Know That Yes, It's His Real Name He says hes been banned from the site multiple times? Phuc Dat. "Phuc Dat Bich" is not a 12-year-old's poorly spelled insult. He's a 23-year-old Vietnamese-Australian who asserts he had his Facebook profile shut down multiple times over accusations he was using a fake name. To prove his namesake to the world, he shared an image of his passport online. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/phuc-dat-bich-wants-facebook-to-know-thats-his-actual-name_564f1b9ae4b0879a5b0a7d6d?ncid=fcbklnkushpmg00000063

Fantastic interview with Gilbride
truth on hold replied to dave mcbride's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't personally care for the guy because I think he's a hypocritical self promoter and stats padder, but there's no denying at the height of his powers one of the best ever at attacking the middle of the field from the pocket. For those who want to see what TT isn't doing a good job at, here's a reminder. -
Yemen, another Syria in the making, and an all too familiar pattern. Houthis had largely eliminated the threat from radical islamists on the peninsulas southern tip, in that sense a key ally to the west (actually helping backup our drone campaign), and represented absolutely no threat to us. But we support the Saudi led incursion against them (killing thousands of civilians and weakening the houthis). Now it's become a failed state and hotbed for extremists.

and the notion that we have any kind of representative democracy, especially when it comes to foreign policy, is a complete farce. look at the probable choices for president in the 2 party system that has a lock on candidates: Hillary (as interventionist and neocon as they come -- voted for Iraq war, led the charge in Libya, lobbied for even more intervention in Syria), and every Repube candidate but Rand (who has virtually no chance being seen as a party outsider), preaches neocon foreign policy too ... sucking up to Israel, and not dare uttering a sound about Saudi despot extremism. So basically the choice is a) Democrat neocon, or b) Repube neocon, running counter to American anti-war sentiment

Pretty neat business model they have: less effective their products are at ending conflicts, the more of them they sell. Doesnt hurt when the buyers (politicians) are highly paid, quasi-employees.

If the sample size is too low then how can you use data to back up any claim in support of his deep accuracy? I'll accept its about judgment, and stick to my contention hes lacking in over the middle reads and deep ball accuracy, and support that with having the same impression of 2x super bowl winning OC who's consistently gotten the better of the greatest coach of his generation (and perhaps any other) -
Think of it this way: the Iraq intervention is now widely accepted as a colossal failure, with fingers pointing all around. However for the military industrial complex, it was a huge $1 Trillion+ bonanza. Big win for them, with dividends still being paid. You think that entrenched machine goes away just because of a change in the white house?

Both interventionist (bush = Iraq), (Obama = lybia, Syria, Ukraine), all distrastrous, and none in the interests of American people

It was a double move route to move revis to the outside, and break back inside. Watkins did it beautifully. No need for jump if ball thrown where it should have been. The guy doesn't throw a good deep ball, especially over the middle. I agree with gilbride. Really I was slightly encouraged when he hit karlos over the middle against jets...not a deep strike (more YAC), but at least he went thru his progressions and read the middle of the field correctly. -
The decision makers don't care about the consequences to civilians, certainly not in the countries they destablize, nor their own citizens UNLESS it interferes with their policy. They only care about their own special interests.

Remove the power structure of any country and you create a vacuum for armed, vigilante groups. . Same would happen in America
-
Assad in Syria too. And not a single initiative to remove them was to protect the west from a threat

Funny since you accept a few examples of 20 yard corner routes as somehow being representative deep balls over the middle of the field accuracy. -
Deranged post from a very sick individual. Seriously hope you're under strict survelliance, or better yet already posting from behind bars

Absurd. Thrown in the right place (or just the right side at least ) and theres no reason to jump -

Missed a wide open Sammy down the middle on first play from scrimmage against jets for what would have been 6. Any halfway decent QB at least throws it to the proper side (right in that case) and lets the WR have a free run at it. -

A little harsh but I agree with his assessment of Taylor. Don't agree on cam though, not this year. That guy is throwing lasers -
interesting take on things We created Islamic extremism: Those blaming Islam for ISIS would have supported Osama bin Laden in the ’80s In Greek mythology, Cassandra was blessed with the power of prophecy, but cursed in that no one would ever heed her warnings. Eqbal Ahmad, the late political scientist, historian and expert in the study of terrorism, was a modern-day Cassandra. In a speech at the University of Colorado, Boulder in October 1998, Ahmad warnedthat the U.S. policy in Afghanistan would backfire: “In Islamic history, jihad as an international violent phenomenon had disappeared in the last 400 years, for all practical purposes. It was revived suddenly with American help in the 1980s. When the Soviet Union intervened in Afghanistan, Zia ul-Haq, the [u.S.-backed] military dictator of Pakistan, which borders on Afghanistan, saw an opportunity and launched a jihad there against godless communism. The U.S. saw a God-sent opportunity to mobilize one billion Muslims against what Reagan called the ‘Evil Empire.’ “Money started pouring in. CIA agents starting going all over the Muslim world recruiting people to fight in the great jihad. Bin Laden was one of the early prize recruits. He was not only an Arab. He was also a Saudi. He was not only a Saudi. He was also a multimillionaire, willing to put his own money into the matter. Bin Laden went around recruiting people for the jihad against communism. “I first met him in 1986. He was recommended to me by an American official of whom I do not know whether he was or was not an agent. I was talking to him and said, ‘Who are the Arabs here who would be very interesting?’ By here I meant in Afghanistan and Pakistan. He said, ‘You must meet Osama.’ I went to see Osama. There he was, rich, bringing in recruits from Algeria, from Sudan, from Egypt, just like Sheikh Abdul Rahman. This fellow was an ally. He remained an ally. “He turns at a particular moment. In 1990, the U.S. goes into Saudi Arabia with forces. Saudi Arabia is the holy place of Muslims, Mecca, and Medina. There had never been foreign troops there. In 1990, during the Gulf War, they went in, in the name of helping Saudi Arabia defeat Saddam Hussein. Osama Bin Laden remained quiet. “Saddam was defeated, but the American troops stayed on in the land of the Ka’aba [the most sacred site of Islam, in Mecca], foreign troops. He wrote letter after letter saying, ‘Why are you here? Get out! You came to help but you have stayed on.’ Finally he started a jihad against the other occupiers. His mission is to get American troops out of Saudi Arabia. His earlier mission was to get Russian troops out of Afghanistan.” For bin Laden, Ahmad added, “America has broken its word. The loyal friend has betrayed. The one to whom you swore blood loyalty has betrayed you.” “They’re going to go for you. They’re going to do a lot more,” Ahmad warned, three years before the 9/11 attacks. “These are the chickens of the Afghanistan war coming home to roost.” http://www.salon.com/2015/11/17/we_created_islamic_extremism_those_blaming_islam_for_isis_would_have_supported_osama_bin_laden_in_the_80s/

You raise the issue of intent What was our intent in removing Saddam over a bunch of bogus WMD stories? Our intent in supporting intervention in Syria? Those 2 initiatives alone have cost the lives of over half a million civilians and counting. The 2 greatest atrocities of this millenium by far. And you're trying act like we're some how above it all? Youre FOS

It's an easier adjustment to feature him as a bigger part of the offense than try to get amendola to take edelman's place in the slot. He may be smallish and white like edelman and welker, but he's more of a true downfield WR
-
right, 3 for 23, long 9 against us. Look for them to try and increase that
-
he played OK against us if I remember, and got a TD. these guys have a tendency to step up against former teams. with that and Pats working more on him during practise (which i can see given the matchups theyd want to exploit and avoid), i can at least see him featured more
-
Unfortunately he may step up against us as pats avoid our DBs and look to exploit our poor covering LBs and backup SS
