The problem is that it isn’t some highfalutin new fangled technology BIG HELMET is trying to impose on players, it’s that the actual foam in the helmet hardens and cracks as it ages, to the point where after more than 7-10 years it is basically worthless as far as absorbing and distributing shock. That is, I think…

You seem to have missed the point.

Fun fact I heard the other day:

Italians thinking of themselves as an oppressed ethnic minority is hands down the funniest part of The Sopranos.

The rule with motorcycle helmets (which are essentially the same as far as the padding is concerned) is 7 years. After that the foam hardens and cracks and essentially doesn’t do the job of absorbing and distributing force anymore. Brown has essentially been playing with a dome of cement around his noggin for the last…

Not for nothing but a kicker who is also an NFL caliber punter is actually pretty valuable in terms of freeing up a roster spot. 5th round valuable? Maybe not quite but if it was a 6th rounder it wouldn’t sound that crazy.

“Sir, my Daily Stormer premium subscription accidentally lapsed for a few weeks last year CLEARLY I DON’T HAVE A RACIST BONE IN MY BODY.”

We’re pretty much to the point where if you don’t have your Klan membership card on you RIGHT NOW then how dare anyone call you a racist. Because words don’t mean anything anymore.

“I would rather go braindead like you almost did than watch the Bengals finally complete their destiny and become the new Browns.”

I mean it’s not nothing he used the word “terror” right? I’m sure Stephen Miller or whatever other D-list speechwriter scraped this together on their morning commute didn’t realize the gravity of the word in this context but it still came out of the dumb-dumb’s mouth on camera and that’s not insignificant.

It’s actually been pretty common with Republicans for a few decades. I think it first started coming up in the 90's when focus grouping the shit out of every word you say became de rigueur for politicians and the Frank Luntz’s of the day found out “democratic” had positive connotations as in “democratic process” and…

It’s still MILES better than buying private insurance, especially at that age when the premiums are astronomical. And even if it doesn’t save you money (it does) it absolutely saves you from the bureaucracy of the private health insurance industry.

My dad worked in the healthcare industry as a hospital manager his whole career. He always made sure we had top notch private insurance because he saw first hand all the time what happened to people who didn’t have it. He did well for himself and was able to retire comfortably at a pretty young age. And when he hit 65…

Ohhhhhh boy this is not going to be pretty...

I’ve got a pretty similar take on it, although I think 20 years is probably overstating it. I think we’re probably closer to something like 7-10 years away depending on what happens in 2020. But I do agree that talking about it in terms that suggest you won’t show up to support whoever the nominee is if they don’t…

I never played football in school, but I would imagine that referring to players by number would actually be incredibly helpful to the players on the field. I’d think it would be helpful, say, for a DB to be told “You’ve got 14" rather than “You’re covering Stefon Diggs, who is usually lined up on the outside but…

Never has the word “Today” been more superfluous in a headline.

I know this shouldn’t be what really gets to me but Jim Jordan just out and out lying about Michael Flynn’s military rank is WEIRD. He retired as a Lt. General and Jordan just gave him 3 stars while on the record just for the sake of making his whack job Qanon rant sound better and no one bats an eye anymore...

I like to goof on both Tebow and the Mets as much as the next guy, but in all seriousness what are they getting out of using a AAA roster spot on a guy who will never ever ever make it to the majors? Are they that desperate to sell minor league tickets? 

I was just coming down here to make a Marge Schott joke but I have been beaten to the 90's era Reds content.
