You should watch Blazing Saddles for a sensitive depiction of the racial tensions inherent in the Old West.
Football is fun as a kid and through high school. Football in college is a shitty job with long hours you don’t get paid for (usually) that will definitely leave you with some debilitating condition in your later years.
Coach Dan “Lake” Staffieri (“rhymes with ‘Lake Erie’”) was an amazing, genuine guy. He was famous for never swearing, wearing 3 different patterns of plaid simultaneously, and always being motivated to be exactly where he was and doing what he was doing. He was an institution at U Penn. The players loved him and he…
Conor has grown soft with his big paydays, and is now basically an a-hole instigator that can no longer back up his words. He’s a male Ronda Rousey.
Actually, that’s what the state and local governments are supposed to be doing, but they often defer investment in infrastructure projects in order to fund more visible, near-term needs. Now the cost to rectify the Flint water situation exceeds their budget and they’ve mismanaged their cities to the point where…
How about some quid pro quo? It should be a penalty if Ben Roethlisberger lands with his full body weight on a defender tackling him.
Exhaust from the cat back looks like they bolted something together in shop class. Single tips per muffler don’t look the business either.
Fear not. The Old Man will soon be dead. No way that level of ownership dumbfuckery is hereditary. No way!
Pshaw. Low end torque will tear those pearly gates right down.
Quantum tackling
In that case, “in the grasp” should be called more liberally. Get two hands on a QB, and he is sacked. No more exciting plays where the QB evades pressure, and makes a spectacular throw as he’s being tackled. I’m all for penalties against players leading with a lowered head, but Matthews made a perfect form tackle…
The game should adjust by favoring fatter QBs, like Roethlisberger.
One of the questions to ask is why carriers at all for a future conflict with a near-peer like China. They are increasingly vulnerable against a range of threats, and the bulk of the surface navy is built to support and protect them. There are a range of missions for which a carrier is still optimally suited, but we…
A bit of a recursive argument, eh?
One of the biggest issues, mentioned in the article, is power. The Burkes are at their limit from a power generation and distribution standpoint and have an interceptor capacity limitation, especially if they carry a mixed load-out for multiple scenarios. A modern, full-electric power and propulsion system is needed…
To be fair, that would conquer most navies, boardrooms, mayoral offices, or movie studios.
Actually, the arsenal ship is more what the Navy needs for its various surface warfare missions. The problem with the current DDG and CG platforms is that they are built to perform multiple missions, and are compromised from doing any one very well. The driving factor for a new cruiser is long range sensors and a high…
They will be put in mothballs in the ghost fleet up the James River or sold to a shipyard to be cut up.
You can always tell a Harvard man.
