What's silly about it?

Anyone else think this is cosmic justice for what Ed may have said about Josh Allen to some guys brother? Karma is a B.

Check my math?? As in 37 < 175?? Look at a f@#$ing map.

Well if they said it, it must be true because of credibility and stuff. Greenwich, Connecticut is much closer to the Meadowlands than Gillette. About 37 miles by car compared to 175 miles to Foxborough. Greenwich is a commuter town to NYC.

Dude, its not the point of contact that makes this a dirty hit. Forget about the point of contact. WTF is a winger doing below the goal line in his defensive zone? Let me answer that for you: hes running a player that is already engaged and making zero attempt to play the puck. Its NOT a hockey play which is why you will find ZERO people defending Tkachuk that actually know something about hockey. Its a cheap shot. I know you'll just write this off since Neal is his teammate but I have hope that you may see the light.

I agree 100%. This is something I haven't always lived up to but now I'm making a much stronger effort to live up to it and being a lot shittier to people in real life.

Or in the case of Tkachuk. First forechecker takes the man, second "forechecker" takes his head off. Again, you keep citing a rule book and failing to acknowledge that NHL hockey is not the overly officious NFL. There are many unwritten rules to the game which it appears you only get familiarized with when you have actually played. Anyone who has played the game knows thats a bush league hit. 90% of all hits look nothing like what Tkachuk did which is why a guy just beat the s@## out of him for it while his own teammates stood and watched.

As I already stated, I do not care what article 5 of rule 9 on acceptable body checks says. Thats a bush league hit at any level of the game and if you want to play that way you had better be prepared to answer for it. Its absolutely head hunting in that hes looking for Kassian coming around the net, making no attempt to play the puck on a guy who is already engaged, and running him. In one of those cases literally going after his head. Don't take my word for it. Take anyone who ever played the game's word for it. https://edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/nhl/cult-of-hockey/ex-nhl-players-insiders-defend-zack-kassian-and-blast-matt-tkachuks-dangerous-plays

Thats a filthy play. Tkachuk abandons his defensive position to level a guy who is already engaged with another defender in a battle for the puck. Thats the definition of head hunting. I don't care whether he lead with his shoulder, hip, or his own ass, he has no business making that hit. And that was the second or third time Tkachuk went after Kassian like that when he was already engaged.

https://sports.yahoo.com/nhl-getting-own-way-punishing-222338714.html I can't believe the NHL says clean hit when Tkachuk goes head hunting and plasters a guy who is already engaged.

He called us names!

Off topic, but my favorite "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" story in recent years is the one I keep hearing from old timers regarding millenials "whining" about how they can't afford houses. I never get tired of hearing about how a guy with a highschool education, working an unskilled labor position, at a time when you had minimal competition from women and minorities for jobs, before economic globalization, a few short years after the worlds' manufacturing capability outside the U.S. was reduced to rubble but before the emergence of cheap labor from China, and way before basic necessities like shelter were treated as the preferred safe haven asset class for investors here and abroad, was able to save their salary for three whole months while supporting a family of 7 to buy a house in the burbs. Its that damn avocado toast!

Of all the Chick Fil A dipping sauces you identify as Polynesian?

Its 2020. Please refer to us as Low-melanin American.

McDaniels would already be a HC if he hadn't left Indy at the altar in favor of some shady redux of the Belichick-Parcells succession deal. Why would anyone in their right mind bring McD in after he reneged on the Indy position?

Think of it a little differently, as in a scenario where a GM or Owner has a bias, consciously or subconsciously, and thinks that no African American coach or executive gives them a better chance of winning than their white counter parts. It seems unthinkable, but then again we saw similar attitudes toward black QBs. Less nefariously, people often hire those that they relate to better. Often people who look like themselves and share more similar backgrounds.

Hi! You seem cute. Lets chat on PM. Wanna see my pics?

Da fuq are you talking about?

Thats what makes it all so confusing for conspiracy theorist simpletons like me. Pereira says he gave himself up. The NFL says it happens all the time and the ruling was correct. But the rule book says something different and the NFL has been silent about this discrepancy. Seems like it would be pretty easy to point to the page and section that me and the other idiots are missing but nothing. Just "we got it right. nothing to see here." And that just fuels more conspiracy theories among me and the other nutjobs.

Joel Osteen was reportedly their first choice.

If NYC was in their earpieces during that process and helped them determine their ultimate ruling then we have a major problem.

I know I'm not going to change anyone's mind. However, I am surprised that more people simply do not care that an officiating team overturned a scoring play on the field without going to video review and their justification is that the letter of the rule does not need to be observed in this one solitary instance. Their position is that the returner does not need to down the ball as described in the rules as long as "common sense" suggests he meant to down the ball, as judged by the official. First, I fail to see it as common sense that the returner doesn't need to observe 3 rules and take a knee or call fair catch. Seems like a reasonable request to me. If a punt returner doesn't call fair catch and tosses it to the ref, he gets lit up, the ball is live, and everyone talks about what a bonehead play he made. Second, if common sense is going to be the new rule I demand it be applied consistently. Instead we got letter of the law on the blind side block. Looks like I am one of the few who thinks its a slippery slope to circumvent the rule book because "common sense". I'll wrap it up by asking which other rules people are comfortable with the officials ignoring if they determine the effect on the game is too great?

Thats my main issue with it. What transpired between the initial ruling on the field and the call being overturned was inexplicable. I have never seen that before in all my years of watching football.
