Captain Caveman

Why isn't that credible? Just because he liked to smoke before he was in the NFL doesn't mean it's not helpful now. A quick Google search turns up many articles (most of them not from high times) indicating there is evidence that Marijuana can be helpful for those suffering from Crohn's and Colitis.

Was mentioned earlier in the thread that he tested positive at the combine, so he came into the league already in the program. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2014/5/5/5682948/nfl-draft-seantrel-henderson-marijuana-combine

The season is young.

No it doesn't

I'd be very surprised if the league is open to medical marijuana at this point, regardless of what it's treating. Bummer.

I couldn't find the option for 6-7.

Blake Bortles will make you **** in your boot and eat it.

As for dialogue, you're not actually responding to what I posted, just restating what others have said many times. IMO that's not really dialogue, it's talking so you can hear yourself talk. The article I posted references him sitting down with an Army ranger to talk about better ways of protest. He understands that a lot of people are assuming he is being disrespectful of the military, and he is open to talking to people who have been in the military to try and understand their perspective. As for the findings that black people are no more likely (or even less likely) to be the subject of deadly force by police, I acknowledge it's out there, and I'm not saying it's wrong. But it's a small part of the overall message, although people getting shot by Police tends to spur the most outrage. And by the way, far too many people of all races are getting shot by Police, and I'm glad that people in this country are pissed off when it happens. There are too many police and too many police departments who do not treat people right (in lots of cases there is a racial component, and I think IMO class / economic status also plays a big part.) This erodes trust in local communities, and makes it harder to police those communities and there is a real vicious cycle. That needs to be addressed at the state and local level, and until it is, we are going to keep seeing this ****. The language I used was that many supporters of Trump who have specifically mentioned how political correctness is a big problem in this country don't seem to like it when someone is politically incorrect in way that offends them. I didn't say that all (or even most) people who have a problem with Kaep's protest support Trump, I said the folks that do support Trump for being anti-PC seem to not like when someone is not PC and also disagreeing with them. Cool, you guys can go give each other handies while you pat each other on the back for calling out PC bull ****. I'm saying that protesting during the national anthem is textbook definition political incorrectness. I was saying that many Trump supporters who have said over and over that political correctness is a huge problem in our society (which I think is bull ****, if being annoyed by PC is your biggest problem then you either are a moron or America is already great) also seem to have a big problem with someone being politically incorrect when it makes them uncomfortable. Not sure if that was understood.

Maybe a conditional 5th (assuming he starts / wins a certain number of games?) Still seems high to me.

I guess the right situation would be that the top 70 QBs (minus EJ, who I would put somewhere around 45) in the country all are incapacitated at the same time, in the week before the trade deadline, and the best team in the league things they are that one spot away from winning a Super Bowl.

Now you are also defining political correctness according to your viewpoint. Yes, the left (or SJW as you put it) is traditionally on the side of political correctness, however, that doesn't mean it's only to be associated with left leaning causes. Political Correctness means exactly what its name implies and doesn't confirm to any single ideology. From the dictionary - agreeing with the idea that people should be careful to not use language or behave in a way that could offend a particular group of people. If many people in the country are offended by his behavior (e.g. not standing for the national anthem) he's by definition being politically incorrect.

So you're saying it is politically correct for him to protest during the national anthem? Or you're defining political correctness according to what you're comfortable with?

Seems like he's trying create a dialogue, and actually engaging in said dialogue. http://deadspin.com/why-colin-kaepernick-switched-up-his-protest-1786092913 Is it ironic that many of the same folks who are supporting Trump due to his setting aside of political correctness are so quick to yell and point fingers when that lack of political correctness no longer aligns with their idea of what's right?

Bottom line is if I really want to I can figure out a way to watch the game for free, or just not watch it (I've two kids under 4, so I should be doing Dad things anyway.) I'd rather pay for it if I can, because I don't like the idea of stealing it, but I'm not going to resort to faking a billing address if they won't sell me their product.

I've tried. Also, they mention that your address needs to match billing address of the card, so maybe you could move later on and be ok, but it seems like at the beginning at least you need to get mail at whatever address you use.

I mentioned it earlier in the thread, but DTV does not allow my address to get the online only option, and we're not getting Satellite, so if anyone wants to sell the streaming portion of their package please PM me.

I've done it in years past and it was just dependent on my local internet connection, as long as that was good, quality was great (watching on a 50 inch screen.)

TB, huh?

Thanks SDS and mods. It seemed like it stayed on the main board longer than I expected, but usually these kinds of discussions end up having to be moved, and I think it makes sense. It's not football. As I've gotten older I've realized there are a lot of places on the Internet that don't give me high blood pressure, and I'm better off avoiding the places that do.

Meaning if you have Max and will be watching games on TV but not online let me know. I only want to watch the games online and DirecTV won't sell it to me that way based on my address.

bashing or motivation? depends on the coach, depends on the player. To me it sounds like he's trying to let his guys know it wasn't good enough.

sounds like one of those old time car horns

I just realized the last time we made the playoffs Indianapolis was still in our division. Jesus.

If anyone received the online package as well (Sunday TIcket Max?) and isn't going to use it, please PM me, I have a proposition for you.
