Captain Caveman

Used to?

I'm not here enough in the offseason to remember who's who (as I imagine a lot of other folks aren't as well.) Again, if you want to keep correcting people as to your motives, go for it. Seems like there are better ways to handle it IMO. You could just add a Signature that says "Derek Chauvin is a murderer"

If you don't want people to keep assuming you're a racist ####### I'd remove it. There are much better ways of forcing the conversation. Seems like you've dug in though. Good luck with that.

The union's position is representative of the larger problem of Police having the ability to assault people without fear of reprisal or consequence, and they throw a tantrum like this when called out on it. If it's just a union thing, the officers in question could still come out and say that they feel for the man who was assaulted. Instead, you and I both know that they feel it was part of their assigned job, a job which they were ok with until some widely shared videos made them public villains. Good luck with that But I'm 100% on board with his statement.

They resigned from the unit that handles "riot" control, so they are (or were) the primary unit responsible for that, and are no longer serving in that role. IMO it appears they feel they were hung out to dry by Police Leadership, but honestly, it really does highlight the huge problem there is in policing today, where it's assumed that it's ok in pretty much any case for them to use force to get someone to comply (and of course that they will generally protect each other over the public most of the time.) Also do you really have that scumbag as your Avatar? Why on Earth would you do that, and why is it allowed here?

I have a feeling it has to do with losing against NFC opponents to improve our playoff tiebreaker position.

Higher mortality rate than the flu? Yes, almost certainly, and by a factor of at least 10. https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-similarities-and-differences-covid-19-and-influenza#:~:text=Mortality for COVID-19,quality of health care.

Because this has killed 80000 in 2 months with everyone staying home. If you can't understand that this has a higher rate of infection and a higher mortality rate then this probably isn't the place to get educated. For anyone questioning the science of this disease, please be mindful that my friend died of it last week. He was in his 40s, a father to two young girls and otherwise had been very healthy. This thing is no ***** joke.

Yeah, I still haven't received my refund from the Sabres Devils game I was supposed to see on 4/2, so not really inclined to layout any more $ for a game I'm not likely allowed to attend.

snoochie bootchies?

In the case of Fournette there's also an entire organization involved which has consistently shown a remarkable ability to ostracize and alienate their own talent / players.

He's also the guy that ran out of town the best QB of all time (who also happened to have 6 rings.)

Getting back to football, I'm glad they were able to sign Adams, if he can get healthy he could be a huge help.

do we get another exemption for him this year?

And it wouldn't surprise me if it gets even bigger if / when they figure out how to play to protect against possible playing time lost to quarantine / illness.

I think Yeldon is a better back at this point in their careers. I also don't think McCoy would agree that he left on good terms.

Is he wearing a duster?

I disagree - if you want to go by # of plays then there would still be a few more special teamers than there are now. 1. I think Steve should be in based on his overall contribution - he really did change how the game was played and coached (in a way that did change the outcome of games and seasons), and to me that warrants strong consideration at least. 2. I don't think he'll make it, and I'm not losing any sleep over it.

How many other players did they create a Pro Bowl spot for? Not only that, he was so effective they changed the rules on coverage, after which he was still the best. He made the old adage that Special Teams is 1/3 of the game true. How many games would we have lost without him? The Houston comeback game comes to mind, although I'm sure there are others. Ok, is there someone else they added a Pro Bowl spot for? Well, there are more of them on the field at any given time than any other position, so it makes sense.

1st sentence makes sense. But why would they have suspended him at all if they found the accusations unfounded?

There's no context where it doesn't sound crazy (I guess other than in a consensual sexual relationship where someone wants that?) What was the activity your Fraternity was suspended for?

The roster sport for a special teams only player is a bigger investment than the $. About 3 yards extra (over taking the ball at the 25) is the actual benefit.

So they’re gonna sign Fitzy?

does he have a resemblance to Freddie Kitchens?
