Me, me, me, me, me. Mine, mine, mine, mine, mine. The community is more important than you, every single time snowflake.

I didn't think Gilmore was the top five corner he wanted me be paid like, but the Pats just got a very solid CB. This sucks to hear.

Love the grand claims about the democratic party being obliterated beyond measure. Sounds a lot like the Republican party not so long ago. Good to know all of you are also TV changers.

Kellyanne has a bright future in marketing.

Any NFL failure who goes to play in Canada I have a lot of respect for.

We used to do stuff like this in middle school too.

I don't watch it on television, but go to both CNN and Fox's websites to see what each other is leaving out every day.

Nearly every crime has been normalized in this day. Seeking to explain or normalize actions is far from a recent phenomenon, you can find it in all cultures/periods, and any attempt to present that as a main stream media technique of any kind is a weak one. But to the actual topic...these topics are usually absurd and severely harm your arguments. Simply speaking strategically. I feel like even if you believe they are true it's easy to see why you wouldn't want to fight that fight.

Jury is still out. I hated the Rex hire and the ridiculous chain of command, not even because of Rex, but because I questioned how they could really talk X's and O's. Then the fans are being told our top five defense lacked the personnel necessary to run Rex's system? Why did you hire him then? The teams are safe though and they seem like nice people. I just question the football decisions.

Fair to point out, but I just meant that we did eventually enter. My point was, what if it had continued to prevail and we never had entered?

Whaley has always said long term, sustained success is the franchise's goal/vision. Yet they also push "win now" and have traded future assets for immidiete gains. I don't hate keeping Taylor, but any criticism of if being a half-measure is probably fair.

There is less communication, less cooperation, more abstract paranoia. That absolutely will halt technological progress. (Some may even desire this?) It also depends on how far you go with it. How much information sharing is shut down? How much commerce is halted? It it just stepping away from other's conflicts? Where would we be if the philosophy prevailed domestically leading to WWII? Also, back when future leadership was warned against involvement in foreign conflicts the argumentation was that our experiences and concerns couldn't possibly be all that similar. Today with the entire world connected that line of argumentation fails.

Pretty much exactly how I feel. I'm a little concerned this is too much of a half-measure, but hard to ignore that the defense, not Taylor, was the weak link the past two years.

I completely agree with what you've laid out here although I'm concerned with potential descents into isolationism. This is not conducive to progress. There is room for compromise on nearly everything and, yes, that includes putting your individual or group identities in proper perspective amongst all individuals and groups. People need to get over themselves, realize they aren't all that important, and be willing to give up an inch or a foot. There are too many snowflakes on all sides. I do feel it will take a major galvanizing event for that to happen. Any attempts to engineer this cooperation are likely to fail, it needs to be organic. I get it, I really do. The rejections all over the west speaks to the severe flaws in the systems. My problem is I already see the rejections moving towards overcompensation. Overcompensation in this direction leads to potentially more damaging consequences IMO.

For all the constant, and somewhat justified, finger pointing towards leftists for misrepresenting issues to drive wedges between groups of people, the nationalistic rhetoric does the same damn thing. I really think it's the nationalists that "snowflake" more aptly describes. Real progress will take more global cooperation, not less, and any leftist/centrist/right leaning group who wants to push "us v them" rhetoric has an absurd sense of their groups worth.

My only concern with this, but can't knock the player in any way.

The GOAT cannot have a conflict of interest. I'm pretty sure, this is like, a rule.

By "team friendly deal" does it mean they will hire a company AP has a direct stake in?

Ya, holding out for a super majority is a sound stategy. Nothing could go wrong there...

I used to as well, but it's fizzled out of late. I'd probably go with Toronto due to interactions with their fans at the arena.

I really don't think this should be made into a big thing, but Christie did apparently feel the need to take a swipe.

Had to love when a thread in the "Anything But" forum got conversational (you know...fun) and the terminator would come lock it up. Locked threads were even a surprise as the SOP recently was delete like it never happened. I will say I was largely ignored by the mods, but lack the hot takes of some of you.

I have no problem with player celebrations, but any player celebrating while their team is getting blown out is a bad look. ex. Santonio Holmes

Listing other failures is supposed to prove a point? I think Whaley is terrible for the following: -Poor management of draft picks -Reactive over proactive (see 2016 WR position) -Very minimal, if at any, progress with the most important position on the field. -Has spoken openly about viewing FA as an equivalent team building avenue to the draft, which I think is a poor philosophy for many reasons. -Doubling down on EJ Manuel after year one when the evidence should have given pause. He has made some decent trades, but ultimately should not have survived another staff shuffle. None of these are related to the potential "something else" I imagine you were implying.

I think Whaley is a terrible GM because the roster is paper thin at many key positions... Not because of BS like this.
