This is what I've been saying for years. People who aren't into the game don't appreciate the chess match that is football via the playcalling. This summed that up perfectly.

Same here. When I was getting into football, I bought Madden and it helped so much.

By "fans" you mean "vast and diverse segments of the American population?" Because makes no mistake about it, my world-population-hating friend, Americans as a whole love football, and you can't pigeon-hole footballs fans into one category.

I so wanted Denzel to get away with it. The man had a hell of a plan, too: nothing sobers you up quite like blow (unless you do too much and then throw up). And that dead waitress was pretty hot too, amiright?!

If I've never played Deus Ex before, should I play the vanilla version first or this The Nameless Mod? I bought all the games after loving DEHR, but I've yet to start them.

This is great trolling right here. It's trolling, right?

Yeah, I can't imagine it's any different in PA for that reason. It's extremely negligent and dangerous.

I know that in New Jersey, ANY emergency vehicle is to stop at a red before going through. If you blow through one and hit someone, that's all on you and you are liable.

Wow. You are a piece of shit, even by burner account standards.

It's because it probably got passed around since it's a more accessible topic for most. Your mother-in-law and girlfriend who hates sports and older cousin who isn't into football are much more likely to read a Williams Sonoma hatefest that a hatefest lambasting Notre Dame.

You're right, because they usually have two heat cycles a year, and no dog should be bred every heat cycle. That figure is between all of a breeder's dogs. My dog's breeder has eight dogs, and has at most two litters a year.

I can't speak to the other ones, but GSDs have so many issues because of their huge popularity in the 1990s led to them being heavily bred in mills with no regard to health issues. If you buy one from a reputable breeder who does health testing and shows her dogs, however, the chances of these are decreased to the…

That's great, because I don't care either. Until the players start caring, I'm certainly not going to care for them.

OK fair enough. My only point is that there ARE reputable breeders out there who health test and take back dogs that people don't want and sell on spay-neuter contracts and they are all AKC registered. There are also shitty breeders who have AKC dogs, so it's not a symbol of quality in and of itself.

I'm well aware of the National Shiba Rescue. I've even made donations to them.

Reputable breeders have a few litters a year, that's it. Many Shiba Inu breeders (I own a Shiba so it's the breed I know most about) have 2 litters a year, and have extensive waitlists for their puppies before they're even born.

Yes, ALL reputable breeders (which means they health test their dogs and they only breed exceptional examples of the breed, which usually means champion dogs in conformation showing) sell their dogs on contract. The contracst, among other things, stipulate right of first refusal meaning you must return the dog to…

What's wrong with purebred dogs? If people didn't indiscriminately breed their dogs (and they shouldn't) then there wouldn't really be any mutts. Rescues and mutts are great, and my next dog will be a rescue, but I don't need to be judged for wanting a type of dog (Shiba Inu) and then getting one, from a great…

Thank you! It seems any time there is a public discussion of this people freak out about breeders like it's a dirty word. Rescue or reputable breeder (which is to say someone who breeds conformation champions or proven working dogs). I don't get why people don't realize that reputable breeder does not equal mill or…

The AKC is not a hack organization, it's just that this distinction is lost on a lot of people: All reputable breeders are AKC-registered, but not all AKC-registered breeders are reputable.
