Jim Brown - Trucking Aaron Rogers - Throw on the run That part on Vick...we really missed out on seeing a great player I think. We saw some flashes, but never the full potential. Sad on a lot of levels.

He was wrestling with him already before he sat down. As soon as that happens the whole encounter has changed. Now the cops top priority is getting this guy in handcuffs some how, some way. The man (a 6'6" mountain of a man mind you) sits but continues to ignore commands to lie down. How are you going to handcuff a guy that size when he is sitting, back against a wall? As noted in the article he is also suspected of being intoxicated in some way so who knows what he will do. Then after being tased after refusing command after command after command, he gets up and lunges at the officer, eventually taking away his taser. The guy is lucky he is not dead and it would be completely justified. And the profanities part? Yeah, people always listen to "Will you please ..." in a calm voice in these circumstance.

One of the most versatile and effective drugs in its natural form is illegal in this country. I wonder who doesn't want people having access to basically free (if you grow your own), non-physically addictive medicines? Hmmmmmmm. Such a sad state of affairs in this country when protecting corporate greed is the top priority. But no one does anything about it. Nope, they care more about slamming a 4th of July parade. Sad. (I understand CBD oil is legal, BTW, but you still cannot grow and make your own for free)

Also took a salary of $1 when the company was close to bankruptcy when he was asking employees to make sacrifices.

Don't have to convince me. I'm just saying what the article said. Most likely it's just something brought to the table by the owners to be used as a bargaining chip. This is very common in labor negotiations. Bring things to the table that you don't really care about so you can take them off during the negotiation to help get what you really want. "Oh, OK, we'll take X off the table if you take off Y (or give us Z)".

A good manager/coach always adjusts to the strengths of their personnel. Bad ones force their personnel into their own systems regardless of fit (I'm looking at you Rex).

I know it does not currently, but that is what the article is about. Potentially negotiating that it WOULD affect the pool in the future and, in turn, the players potentially wanting some say in how the money is spent since they, essentially, would have paid for part of it.

Yes, but I believe the negotiating point brought up is to change that for the Stadium fund, sort of like a write-off in the tax world. At least that's how it read to me.

I think you are missing the point here. The point is that their money is already going to be taken in that the pool of revenue in which the players are allocated a certain percentage, will be lower because money will be taken from it and placed into stadium projects. He is saying since they are essentially paying for some it because of this this now reduced pool of revenue, they should have some say in how its spent. Simple example with incorrect numbers. Total Revenue $1B, players get 50% share. Players get $500M. In this scenario it may be this. Total Revenue $1B, Amount dedicated to stadiums $100M. New Revenue left $900M, players still get 50% share. Players only get $450M. So, they actually "paid" for $50M of the stadium improvements.

Professionally, early. Personally, on time. Never late unless its because of waiting for the woman.

That is quite the insult to Nirvana. FF are so meh.

Must be nice to have the best offensive line in football and two extra years of experience. I'd put any amount down on Allen having more yards and TDs than Prescott had in his 2nd year, barring injury of course.

I got it for like $3 used on Hertel a year ago. What a steal.

Wish I would have seen this thread two days ago. Had no idea he was coming here and would have loved to see it.

Maybe you are not familiar with how breeding certain traits works with dogs??? Maybe I'm not understanding your comment correctly? Maybe you didn't understand mine? Pit bulls came from their English cousins who were bred to to "bait" bulls. The American pitbull was bred from those extremely powerful dogs to be fighting dogs. The ones who wouldn't fight would often be killed by their owners and they would only try to breed the ones who would fight willingly and did so well. So that mentality kept getting bred deeper and deeper into them as the generations passed. I'm sorry, I love pets and animals as much as anyone, but those are, quite simply, the facts. They were bred to be killing machines, not companion pets, not working dogs, not guard dogs, not even hunting assistants, but killers.

The media and the coaching staff really need to understand what the word "voluntary" means. I think it is so stupid that media reports on who doesn't show up to "voluntary" work outs as if they are not team players, or are not dedicated to football, or are selfish. So dumb. "we're in here talking about voluntary practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about voluntary practice. Not a real practice. Not a real practice. Not a real practice. We're talking about voluntary practice. Not a real practice. Not the real practice that I go out there and die for and play every real practice like it's my last. Not the real practice. We're talking about voluntary practice, man."

I just don't get the point. Is it to look cool or look tough? There are plenty of other dogs that look cool and look tough that have far fewer "accidents" of attacking/killing people. These dogs were bred to be killing machines, not pets. Society should let this bread die out naturally.

Yeah, it is common at places like gas stations for example, but if they get complaints about it then they can get their service pulled for breaking the agreement. They do it anyways because most people don't know that and most people have no idea who the processor is to complain to. Its not your issuer (bank) or credit card companies (MC, Visa), its someone in-between typically.

It is my understanding that it is against the credit card processor companies policies to charge extra for customers to use the service. It is also against their agreements to have minimum credit card purchase amounts. This may be outdated info, but I was told that a few years back doing work for one of the Big 3 credit reporting companies.

Fair enough. My bad.

Come Together in top 100 as well. Hey Jude at 31 is criminal.
