  1. We’ve been debating this since Moses read the Ten Commandments.
  2. It wouldn’t get any attention though because it wasn’t during the anthem. Why do I feel like this is an old argument?
  3. Well, I guess we'll have to wait to see if he accepts her compliment.
  4. Shoot. There goes my excuse to loot my neighbors fridge because we're out of milk. Thanks for dying?
  5. If he thinks money is the root of all evil will he take a pay cut?
  6. If there's one thing to bank on about a press conference one week before the draft it's that a GM will be 100% honest about his draft intentions.
  7. She’s the worst. The absolute worst.
  8. With the 70th pick of the 2021 NFL draft, the Patriots select Joe Tryon - Edge, Washington. The Falcons @GunnerBill are on the clock.
  9. Forget Simms. Schefter said they're going to pick him before he got a talking to from ESPN.
  10. Can't trust him to stay healthy. His injuries ruined two of their last three seasons.
  11. I'd be shocked if it wasn't Mac Jones. Shanahan likes his Kurt Cousin/Matt Ryan type QB's. I still can't believe they gave up two first rounders to move up for him though.
  12. Much better? They simplified their offense and let Hurts use his wheels. He still went 1-3 with a 52% completion % and a 41 QBR. He played so poorly in the finale he was pulled for some guy named Nate Sudfeld. He provided some juice to the team against the Saints but that's about it.
  13. Tommy Maddox. What do I win?
  14. We'll find out this year but I've never seen a franchise have such a rush of injuries and poor personnel decisions on one side of the ball post Super Bowl than the Eagles. He had less weapons than Brady's final year in Foxboro and a poorer offensive line.
  15. Reich worked with him for two years. I'm pretty sure he knows what he's getting. The Eagles front office was a circling firing squad that couldn't shoot straight.
  16. I like Molden in this spot to compete with Johnson who's in the last year of his contract. I think he's an upgrade at slot corner. We could pry easily get Shelvin in round 3. I prefer not to reach.
  17. First. You'd have to pay whatever the vig is for each bet slightly minimizing your profits. You're also betting individual teams and not overall wins. You could easily have 17 teams go over because you have a few teams only have one to three wins boosting everyone else's win totals. For example, last year half of the AFC teams had double digit wins because the Jets, Jaguars, Texans, and Bengals didn't win more than four.
  18. It's pry the right call as this is pry the most high profile police case since Rodney King. If there's anything close to what happened in LA then transportation to and from school would put kids in unnecessary danger. Besides the buses you also have high school students that take public transit system. A lot of schools will also be surrounded by the National Guard making it even more of a headache for bus drivers and parents picking their kids up as there would be a lot of detours. It's to keep the students, parents, and teachers safe. No different than snow days around here.
  19. I don't think people appreciate how bad the Lions are going to be this year. I'm talking 0-17 bad. There'd the only team I'd bet on.
  20. I said systemic and the higher rate of black violent crime absolutely has to do with it.
  21. My guess (since it has no chance of passing) is it's a power play to pressure the SC justices to rule in a more liberal fashion than they otherwise may have because of that threat. That includes things on maybe punting on issues like abortion, gun control, the ACA, etc...
  22. It's frustrating when you have one side saying that cops are inherently racist and want to kill black people and the counter to that is something like 99% of police officers are great public servants just doing their job the best they can. You're not anti cop if you point out there are some serious systemic problems in US police departments in many major cities. You're also not racist if you don't buy the BLM narrative that cops are looking to kill black people. I don't even like to get into these debates because people feel they have to choose a side.
  23. Completely agree. I was just pointing out the uselessness of that graph. The counter to black people being 3x as likely to be killed by the police are black people commit more crimes leading to more police encounters. They've had multiple studies over the years that showed no statistical difference between the likelihood of being shot and killed by a cop based on race during an interaction. They have found cops are more likely to use excessive force with black people compared to white people though. I wish the BLM movement would focus more on the latter and ask why that is.
  24. So based off population percentage you’re about three times as likely to be shot to death by cops if you’re black instead of white. At least according to this graph.
