The problem with both this site (which tries to give the appearance of being objective until you look a little more closely under the hood) and the pro-pit bull sites is they’re pushing statistics in a way to tell their story. If you go to the bottom of that site it’s clearly pushing an anti-pit bull agenda, and it has a picture of a pit bull with an exclamation point over the US). To put those statistics in context you need to know not only how many pit bulls are there in the US (apparently between 4-5 million, with over half the population of dogs in shelters being pit-type dogs), but what are they referring to as pit (mixed breeds make up over 50% of household pets, how many of those go from mixed breed to pit once they become a statistic?), and what percentage of the dog population do the other breeds make up? Saying Rottweilers are responsible for 17% of fatal dog attacks (or whatever the number was) is a very different thing if they make up 10% of the dog population vs 0.1% of the population, and despite trying I can’t find numbers like that to make sense of these statistics. Its clear certain breeds like labs are less likely to cause severe or fatal dog bite injuries, but which breed do you think the statistics are attributed to when a lab/pit mix bites someone or mauls someone? It’s all in the reporting, and with what’s being posted the data presented in this thread from either viewpoint are clearly biased, as are most things nowadays.

WRT dog parks I would also argue, as a self-professed responsible owner of a very dog and people social pit mix (per the dog trainer we took her to in order to determine her temperament around children and other dogs), I’m wary of an uncontrolled situation where an oblivious owner’s dog instigates something and, regardless of my dog’s involvement or culpability (or more likely lack there of), by virtue of breed stereotypes she would be an easy target for blame.

So you're only 59... and you walk with a cane... and you had Wolford, Ballard, Ritcher, Hull, Joe Devlin, and Reuben Brown among others blocking for you at one time or another... but you're telling me everything will be totally fine if I just trust the process... why have you been looking past me this whole time? Did you just hear clapping? Wait a minute...

One could make the argument that an a#####e is a dark place.

Wolf of Wall Street... is Simms trying to say that if Belichick was in finance instead of coaching in the NFL that he'd still be a cheater?

Bills finally give out #32 again, after 42 years

Don’t know much about Senorise... is he a RB that likes to cutback? Does he have a slashing style? Is he someone who can cut on a dime? Anything I’m missing? -
Jets fire GM Mike Maccagnan, name Adam Gase interim GM

He’d start by piping in out of rhythm circus bigtop music and replacing all the shampoo in the showers with the Joker’s special toxic green hair dye. -
Kiko jerseys go for a hummer at New Era... wait until the season and maybe you can hold out for a handy and a half a warm beer on game day.

Damn, that is bad... impressive that they were able to get off that many plays in under 2.5 seconds, though. Most teams can only manage one.

If you didn’t do so when he was cut, don’t forget to properly dispose of the cyanide capsule that was to be used in the event all hope was lost and Peterman had to start again.

At least I waited 2 years; Marvel couldn’t wait 2 weeks before they started throwing spoilers out there in their Spider Man trailer. Nothing like trying to drive up viewing to break records by threatening to spoil their own movie.

I prefer the first 2018 when we only had to wait until mid season. -

Great interview and insights from Ed Reed.
transient replied to Tipster19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Gotta be pretty frustrating to be brought in to help facilitate communication for a complicated, antiquated defensive system and then be ignored. He probably figured out pretty quickly that he was a recognizable name to appease fans by making it look like Wrex was trying fix a problem that I don’t think Wrex actually believed existed. -
He’s the chubby guy in denial bursting through the suit who’s standing behind James Harden’s beard.

Guessing “Held in” is the autocorrect version of Yeldon.
