Democratic 2020 Presidential Primary Thread
4merper4mer replied to snafu's topic in Politics, Polls, and Pundits
Staying in front of the IG is like staying in front of an oncoming glacier. -
Trump placed a phone call a few months ago, it has been published and tomorrow Schiff will try to infer his intent and impeach him based on no legal standard whatsoever. This is being done because the last smear job has been proven false. It this one fails there will be a new square one soon. Meanwhile do nothings Horowitz, Barr and Beardy are looking at things that happened years ago and still need significantly more time to do anything. They are as bad as Schiff and company in terms of their regard for the country. One group is actively trying a coup and the other has exposed the fact that nothing will ever happen to someone who tries this so long as they are among the chosen ones. If history is written honestly, which it most certainly will not be, Horowitz et. al. will be seen as equally dangerous threats to our system, because they are.

Are you honestly saying that showing respect for fallen soldiers is an outlandish viewpoint? He was inarticulate and brash as always but he didn't say anything direct other than people should wear poppies. Do I think people should be forced or coerced into that? No. But it is hardly an outlandish viewpoint for an individual to to think people should wear one or that it is the right thing to do.

If you flipped LSU and Bama results from Saturday and plugged LSU into the scenarios above, they wouldn't get in. One loss Oregon or Utah get in over LSU but not Bama.

What Vet Qbs and Back-Ups to Look at in Off-Season
4merper4mer replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Minshew threw 416 interceptions in the last game he played. -
They have all the help they will need. There are going to be teams that lose. If a one loss team wins the Big 10..... No Big 10. I could even see them putting in Bama over an undefeated Minny if that came to pass. Bama will be I the playoff if they finish with one loss....and they aren't out of it with two, but that might not fly.
-
Bama is already in if they don't lose another game. Don't even try to convince yourself otherwise. If they lose a second game.....and I think they have Middle Tennessee State coming up.....they might not make it. With one loss, there are excuses aplenty.

They would have technology that rapidly does that.

If aliens were to exist and try to visit Earth, you have made potentially valid points, but only covered some of these points. If they are advanced enough to travel the distances involved, they have likely conquered all disease and have the ability to detect and dispatch threats very quickly. Could they adapt to what must be different gravity, pressure, seasonal cycles, atmosphere and on and on? I'd think yes, because as complex as all of the above are, the distance issue is still probably tougher. Look at all the things we'd have to do to travel beyond our system carrying a human payload. If it isn't impossible, which it very well may be, it is excruciatingly tough and frankly, likely not worth it. We could transport future generations with techno guardians so much more easily. For the generations already born, I could see a space faring craft that is a permanent dwelling but not really going anywhere except away from danger. Aliens if they existed, which they demonstrably don't, would have the same issues. Von Neumann probes, controlled by AI and carrying DNA codes would already be here if they were ever coming. They aren't. Anything carrying a living being would likely be way after that.

LOL. I'm pretty sure they will be in the playoff.

I saw something on the scroll at the bottom of ESPN that Jets management wants to be patient. I didn't look up the article but LOL.

Even longer period of mediocrity? A. Longer than what? The decade we've already logged? B. Sadly mediocre would be a giant step up from where the Sabres have been. Whatever they're doing hasn't worked with or without Eichel. I'm not saying he has to go but am saying we don't have the luxury of taking options off the table. Dahlin is the obvious exception. Your last paragraph discusses talent. It is the GM's job to put talent on the ice. The previous GM had a glorious opportunity and failed while calling everyone else stupid. This guy was not dealt the same hand but it wasn't a bad one either. You state that a team needs elite talent and role players but he has gone after role players and marginal talent. Rochester wins, but very few guys look NHL ready. Nylander took 100 years and sucked. They traded him, at least getting a decent player in return, and he immediately looks viable in Chicago. Dahlin isn't as good at 19 as he was at 18. How often does that happen? We have two decent backup goalies and no starter. This is all on the GM and none of it has improved.

What a joke. The good news for him is that the NCAA has a record of rethinking punishments. Well in child rape cases that went on for years and years anyway. Who knows when it comes to an obvious future millionaire getting a loan or a kid selling an autograph. That stuff is on a different level.

I still view the coach in a positive light. I'd say internally let him assess the needs and communicate them. Maybe time to re-set again? Some really big trades, like even Eichel? His career is clearly being wasted,maybe some of that is on him, and he would return a king's ransom. This GM shows zero urgency unless there is traffic before tee time so if I'm Pegula I wait.....again....dump the GM .1 seconds after the season ends and get someone that is connected with Krueger. Ideally that would be done now but it seems unrealistic.
