oh. damn. I fold.

That is some great perspective. Thank you. Honest question: does the kicker know where that ball is going? Or does he just know it’s going to be unpredictable? I’m not suggesting he’s lucky, I’m just wondering how much idea of where the ball is ending up the kicker has. Or does he roughly aim on center, know…

OK, hold on here. I’m a life long DC sports fan and not to distant season ticket holder. And I think the danny is an idiot ass clown. Can’t stand him or what the team has become (and maybe just the NFL in general). But come on. If some company is willing to give him some money to be the “mattress of the…

Your post makes nothing clear. Is the guy on the ground in a context that you can see that is different than the one that I and everyone else sees? How, in that moment, are the officers who are making an arrest supposed to evaluate what level of force is justified. That’s what you’re saying. And that’s what’s…

I have not. Were you actually involved in this situation? If so, please enlighten. But also, please fuck right off with your attitude and dumb rules. I have eyes and a brain and am capable of processing what I see and asking reasonable questions and drawing some conclusions. You’re right I don’t know what went…

Who was he a danger to in that moment that he had to be “completely subdued” (as opposed to just subdued??)???? He was on the ground, two officers on him, three more within 20 feet, and countless others in the surrounding area closing in, with a friggin police helicopter overhead and spotlight on. This was known to…

I don’t think I would be all cool and level headed. But I’m not a cop, for that reason and oh so many others. I have plenty of respect for those who assume that danger and responsibility. And that’s why I mentioned adrenaline and understanding that. That’s not the same as making punching a guy in the head legal or…

So, you’re going with if it seems like a big enough deal, enough people and property were put in danger, and it took a while and covered some distance to catch the guy, then the cops can use whatever force their frustration and adrenaline deems ok in that moment?? Yeah, I’m pretty sure that’s not how the law works. …

You better be wearing your black and white checkered Vans when you typed that, bruh. Because that was rad.

I don’t know what this guy did, and it probably shouldn’t matter, but is punching the shit out of a guy on the ground the technique cops are trained with to arrest a guy? I mean there must be a ton of adrenaline going on, I get that. But there’s gotta be better way, doesn’t there? I mean, how many punches do you…

I starred this not because I’m happy your Republican family are voting for my choice, Hillary. I am happy about that, of course. I starred it because I respect their decision and would like to think I would do the same thing if the shoes are ever reversed (I’m not sure that’s a saying, actually). Good on them.

At this point you’d have to have footage of him strangling a white baby for it to matter.

Pretty sure these are the guys who make it, but I think that line was a limited edition and no longer available. http://www.garanimals.com/products.php 

a few months ago, I pulled up to a youth baseball field to park. I got out of my car and was walking over to the field and I come upon this guy who had just parallel parked his Honda CRV, little SUV thing. Didn’t look especially brand new or anything, but looked in fine shape. This older dude had gotten out,…

This is not possible. How does his hair look even worse back then? It’s like he used too much conditioner or he had a low flow shower head that couldn’t rinse it all out.

But that’s the real rub isn’t it? Fun/easy game to play when you know how the draft picks turn out, easy to cite examples of both booms and busts. But if you draft Chip Lomiller in the 2nd or 3rd round and leave Drew Bledsoe on the board when you need a Kicker and QB, you look like a fool and probably don’t last as…

I think you’ve got this. I think I had ESPN on this morning and they had whatever retired ref they trot out for such things who said it’s really about safety, not just contact. They didn’t judge it to be unsafe and he thought they were right. Sounded plausible to me.

Uhh, you’re welcome there, person of average intelligence.

As long as you don’t share someone’s beliefs, free license to mock, yes? Oh I doubt you’ll ever run afoul of anything or anyone in life with that approach, least of all, hypocrisy I’m sure.

This is the best thing I’ve learned about in a long time. I don’t always know what they’re doing or why they’re not doing, but I just can’t look away. The American team might lose big, but I suspect they lose like no one else ever has. U-S-A! U-S-A!
