  1. Perhaps a bit different perspective: 40 yds = 120 ft. Moving 120 ft in 4.8s clocks PlayerA in at a rate of 25 ft/s. Moving 120 ft in 5 s clock s PlayerB in at a rate of 24 ft/s. 25 = 0 + (A(4.8)) PlayerA acceleration (A) = 5.2 ft/s^2 24 = 0 + (A(5)) PlayerB acceleration (A) = 4.8 ft/s^2 PlayerB has 92% of the acceleration of PlayerA over 40 yds.
  2. Patrick Willis ran a 4.51 at the combine and a 4.37 at his pro day. I think Posluszny ran a 4.7 at the combine and a 4.58 at his pro day. I'm no expert but I would think a decent 40 time for a LB would be in the 4.6 - 4.7's. You'd want them to keep up with TE's like Tyler Eifert who ran a 4.6. Does 4.81 make Teo the worst LB ever? Not even close. It just shows that he doesn't have elite speed, and has probably average to slightly below average speed for a LB.
  3. The coaches need to tell him to run like he's saving his fake girlfriend from a car crash.
  4. What a worthless video.
  5. Even when you pop back in here infrequently, you just can't help being stupid.
  6. So your solution is to create a 4th branch of gov't and then have people fill out a ballot and use the mail system to vote? Yeah, what could go wrong with that? Quite the Libertarian you are there wanting to create an entirely new branch of gov't. You also might want to look in to the definition of a Republic.
  7. Will the first responders include any of the cops that we hate because they shoot innocent civilians?
  8. Was that a joke or are you retarded?
  9. Sounds like someone just watched Skyfall.
  10. They could have gone with gay, but that likely would have only made him more interested.
  11. Women shouldn't strive to get ahead. They should strive to give head. I think there's been a misunderstanding somewhere.
  12. That's a post that deserves it's own thread...with pics.
  13. The not wearing a wedding ring but still being married is a sign that they are in fact available...just not to you.
  14. We hadn't had a good gun thread in a few days so: http://www.examiner....to-turn-weapons
  15. What is this a solution to?
  16. Ghost Rider 2. Possibly the worst movie ever.
  17. I wanna say something. I'm gonna put it out there; if you like it, you can take it, if you don't, send it right back. I want to be on you.
  18. If you're gun prints badly enough that people can tell you have a gun, they can call the police, and there goes your concealed carry license. So you should probably care. Unless you're full of **** wrt your firearm experience.
  19. I liked the potential of the commercial so much that when it turned out to be a Dodge commercial I was disappointed. It had the build up of something better. It was a Superbowl ad, so it had to be selling something. It was just unfortunate that the farmer message had to be told in the form of an advertisement.
  20. 1). If you're talking .38 special it's a revolver and has no magazine and it likely holds 5, maybe 6 rounds. If it's a pocket size .380 acp like I linked, it carries 6 in the mag and 1 in the chamber for a grand total of 7. That's a far cry from 17, and a .380 acp could easily need multiple shots to stop an attacker. 2). A glock 17 is a full size 4.5" glock chambered in 9mm. It has decent sights. It's not the same as the pocket size .380 acp or the .38 special. It's just not. Those guns are tiny and the sights aren't that great. Some guns like those don't even have sights to make them smaller and easier to draw. A laser isn't a must on those types of guns, but it sure could be helpful. I'm not a gun expert, but the more you talk, the more people know you don't know what you're talking about. Also, If you are willing to point the gun at the attacker you'd better be following it up rather quickly with a squeeze of the trigger. Don't flash a gun assuming that it will end the confrontation. If it's bad enough to draw it's bad enough to fire.
  21. The nerdy kid should have at least tried to take second. Heck, if she screws up the throw to second, he might even have gotten within sniffing distance of third. Never gonna get another shot.
  22. I'm confused by this conversation. Are we talking .38 special or .380 acp? One is for a revolver, one is for a pistol. In a small package concealed carry pistol or revolver, a laser sight can be quite useful as you are not generally aiming as if you were target practicing. Usually the sights on those tiny guns are next to worthless anyway. The automatic is the confusing part. Especially since that's probably not legal for most people. Something like this would be ok: http://www.ruger.com/products/lcp/specSheets/3713.html I would prefer something like this though: http://www.ruger.com/products/lcr/specSheets/5451.html Approximately same size and ammo capacity 7 vs 5, but being able to load up to a .357 mag (although that isn't gonna feel that great to shoot in that tiny gun) is better than being limited to a .380 ACP IMO. That's if you really want a laser sight on it. I definitely wouldn't go any less than a .380 ACP either. I'd prefer at least a 9, but after I got my 1911, I don't think anything feels better in my hand. Hard to conceal (for me anyway) but what a great gun.
  23. Just curious. In internet land, everyone is an expert on everything. I disagree that there was more to it than a plane hitting a building, but I readily admit I'm neither a civil engineer nor an explosives/demolition expert. One thing I do know is that there can be lots of predictions about what should happen in a plane versus 100 story building scenario. But often times there are variables that can't exactly be accounted for until after the fact. I also doubt there are a lot of case studies to examine for this type of thing.
