I get it Tom. I was going after the principle there. However context does matter, as you have clearly demonstrated. This shutdown has a good shot of lasting a long time.

I think that's the exact wrong way to prevent using government employees as leverage. Fund the government then have your wall discussions. Before you go and tell me that I'm an idiot (where is your bot anyway?) tell me how paying for the wall is he only answer? That's an impractical stance when speaking of employees used as leverage. In fact it only STRENGHTENS the idea of using then again

The both sides comment was specific to the usage of childhood insults. It truly shows how immature or government really is.

The Senate vote was just posturing for the senators to remove blame for the shutdown. That said McConnell has doubled down now on his stance, taking heat off of his party for future elections. Solely McConnell can be currently blamed for holding up the vote. And for all the use of "temper tantrum" it's unbecoming of any adult to speak like this. Both sides need to grow the f up.

I don't think it was a good look for either side. I will agree with one point that was made by the Dems. Using government employees as leverage sucks. I'm not posting to say that both sides haven't used that leverage. I'm just saying that this sucks for the average American too. TSA agents are being FORCED to work without pay (for now). How is that helping airport security? Border patrol agents unfunded, how does that help the argument? This sh*t show from both sides sickens me.

My God was that awesome. My kind of humor there. So difficult to follow, yet so funny.

It hit him in the hands.

"But you can Never Leave!"

It's JA's bread and butter, right? "Hero Ball"

That seems like a great idea!

Wow Darr knows now that he's cut tomorrow

Obviously MCD wants Allen to get back out there, hence TOs

Terrible missed roughing the passer.... Can't take lower than the knees that late.... But I'm not surprised.

It's interesting to see these pieces. Most of the way through Allen is telling his girlfriend about the blue wristband he always wears. I was curious to see if he was wearing it during camp. I guess he has had it on for a while. Good on him! This is an article from early in training camp. And here is the lead picture.

That was a "just give it to 'em moment" on that first down. The official on that side definitely marked it about a half yard short, but it somehow got changed.

And yet Allen does the same thing. Some one alert the hospitals!

It looks like Big Ben mouthed, "My God we're offside again"

What's funny about this nomination is that Allen has had angrier runs this season! Nice vid, thanks!

You're right, it's not getting overturned, but it's an unintended consequences that they will look at. I will say it gets changed this off-season.

Exceptions to rules happen infrequently. That's why they are exceptions. It is rather normal for a rulebook to have these kinds of things written in to prevent circumvention of a standard rule (in this case going through an opposing players back).

I'm aware of the rule and the intention of that rule. It was NOT intended to allow a defender to hit a person in the back. This is the ONLY instance in the rulebook that allows for a player to legally contact the back of a player. I am fine with the rule, but there needs to be an exception for contact through the players back. This exception brings the rule back into conformity with the rest of the rulebook.

Did I see a Tyrod Taylor flash there? A RUN! Are you f'in kidding me?

This is how the only time in the rulebook that a hit in the back is legal. That should be called no matter what. It's illegal contact.

So with the contact call and then the Rodgers run with the MASSIVE arm bar hold that allowed the run

These aren't out routes! These are hitches. Truthfully an out route may not have been picked if Peterman threw it to the right spot (outside of the receiver). That said, an out isn't the easiest throw to make.
