Oh. Sure. Ben announces he'll contemplate retirement the same way he announces he's sick/concussed/depressed/suffering jet lag/might have to cut off a toe or two to make it onto the field each Sunday. Put another way: https://twitter.com/adamrank/status/823946458168578048

The players hate Rodhack. So do the fans. So do the coaches. And I'm guess the organization does too. Perhaps that's what's keeping him employed? What a time to be alive.

First I want to clarify something. Then I want you to clarify something. I'm not suggesting that Planned Parenthood is the solution. In fact, I've been quite clear in this thread with what the solution actually is. But it's a long term one. Planned Parenthood is--at the very least--a firewall and an immediate resource that provides, in some small measure, relief from the structural failures, which begin first and foremost with the decay of the nuclear family, and which are causing societal rot at an alarming rate. Next, please clarify for me, what two things do you think are wholly unrelated? Family planning and the penal system? Yeah, got it. I've been on this forum enough to know your copy paste keys are as washed out as your brain. Actually, the comment below would be a strawman.

Planned parenthood isn't an abortion mill. It provides health care for women and resources to for people to responsibly plan their families. You indicated that this is a poor investment of your tax dollars. Meanwhile, a far greater portion of your tax dollars fund the capture, processing and warehousing of individuals who are--by and large--a product of irresponsible family planning. My assumption is that you harbor much more consternation for planned parenthood than you do the U.S. penal system. Is that accurate?

From a priority standpoint I can't say I agree here. Only because the solution we both agree is the necessary long term one doesnt do much to address the immediate needs, which are dire. But incarceration is fine? Haha fair point

It was between her and Gene Wilder. Casting a vote for the Waco Kid doesn't seem that ridiculous when you consider mine wouldn't have been the only Cook County ballot for the deceased. Agreed. It has to be a solution in conjunction with REAL efforts made to institute the cultural shifts that are really needed to end the scourge or at least reign it in. But we're not attempting that in any way shape or form so the least we can do is deal with living tragedies that are literally born every day.

You must have mistaken me for one of your liberal punching bags. I voted for my mom.

Were they the same ones who had HRC beating Trump senseless?

Which is precisely why that wasn't the argument I was making.

Oh, I'm willing to start very, very low. Like: Reliable/responsible/designated caregiver with a basic, functional knowledge of human biology and child development. If you want, I'd be happy to head on down to 35th and MLK here in Chicago. I used to work in an office about 200 yards from the intersection. It might give some their first glimpse of what people turn into when they don't have these basic necessities. Kids you don't want and no intent to raise them: it's a hell of a combination. And a staggeringly lethal one when you have unlimited access to illegal firearms. Our 2016 body count made that abundantly clear, and thus far we're on pace to beat it in 2017! Please help me understand why you keep making this distinction.

of course, but that wasn't the context in which the retort was made. but i agree. it's not like we made up the rules for winning an election on the ninth.

And by "life" you mean "existence." "Right to existence," burden on others and a danger to society, though it may be. Because a "right to life" SHOULD entail "right to quality of life" which nobody seems in the slightest bit interested in guaranteeing to anybody in this country. You seem to champion one's right to obliterate another's quality of life, without second thought.

it's not trolling to remind somebody that the aggregate did prefer the dnc candidate.

I was in fourth grade. So...yeah.

To offer the antithesis of what I thought were you suggesting: that national vote doesn't mean anything once you start parsing out states.

Nope. But I'm fascinated to hear you are.

Whichever one you were making by specifying California over country.

And yet if Texas goes blue (margin was slimmer than California's), HRC wins.

I mean...technically the country did prefer HRC more, 48% to 46%, a difference of 2.8M people or so. To your actual point: The Democrats need to put DWS in a box, they need to lock that box, cut a hole in it so she can breathe and be fed, then bury the box in the basement beneath their non denominational holiday decorations so she's never heard from or seen again. But that's just my two cents. See you again in 14 months or so.

You win. Going 7-3 in one score games doesn't hurt. (difference of 8 points or fewer) By comparison, BUF was 2-5. They were much much much better at generating splash plays from ST and DEF.

Honestly--and lord knows I'm among the last fans to jump up and down and throw a tantrum about a coach hiring, let a lone a positional coach hiring--but that phenomenon gives me pretty significant pause.

BUT then you realized he's coming from KC--a team that went 21 consecutive games without throwing a TD to a WR, all of which happened during Culley's tenure.

Are you medicated?

What does that have to do with anything? thanks for the updates, john, you remain the press room beacon. the organization was pretty air tight in the lead up to the coordinator hires. there wasn't so much as a peep about interviews, etc. this was in contrast to a lot of the other shenanigans that kept dripping out, before, during and after the last two seasons. the only thing changed (as far as we can tell) is a loosey goosey head coach is gone and a much more rigidly organized one is in.
