And doesn’t he shuffle his feet on this 3pt shot too? Catches, takes two quick shuffle steps without a dribble (which, by the rules, is def traveling), turns and shoots. Even if you want to say he was pivoting, he switches his pivot foot twice in the foot shuffle before the turn into the shot. Maybe the only defense I…

I’m pretty sure Morten Anderson stopped being the Falcons kicker... like a decade and a half ago. Way to keep up with the Falcons.

“ but the reality is that most refugees are people just like Luol Deng.”

But he won far more than Melo ever did. Yeah, his game had flaws, but he also took a team of nobodies to the Finals. Melo never has been that good.

Reasonable response. Ultimately I think our task isn’t to convince the people who like Trump to not like him, but to convince the people who don’t like Trump but *voted for him anyway* (see: a sizeable proportion of Republicans, especially Republicans with college educations) to come to despise him so much that they…

Exactly what I was thinking. If this is something the normal elite media Twitter bubble is tittering about, Trump’s people really don’t give a shit at all. “Let them mock us,” Bannon must be thinking. But if this becomes a meme in the broader popular culture that everyone jokes about — how blatantly and stupidly they…

I think he just trolled you brah

I honestly don’t get the Jonathan Chait hate. Yes, he was in favor of the Iraq War. Certainly worthy of ridicule. But that was 15 years ago! So were lots of other center-left pundits who are subjected to far less internet ridicule 15 years later.

But wasn’t Bowie just one of those injury stories?

Alas, twas a Giants fan

He’s also on a PED suspension though, so he may not be being paid for those games? Or maybe he knows that once the year ends he won’t get resigned because the team that resigns him would have to have him sit out for a while for the PED suspension. So this 400K might be the only football money he ever gets. He was a…

Joking aside, I think the season-ending injuries to both him and Will Johnson (the other FB) in the preseason, which most people didn’t pay much attention to at the time because each is only a small bit player on the team, were quite consequential in hindsight. Really limited the types of packages the Giants could…

Because its like an 8 minute drive to his work place? And he’s a 2nd year former practice squad FB (among the, if not the, lowest paid positions in the NFL) perennially on the roster bubble who could have been cut at any moment prior to being on IR and now that he’s on IR is likely to get cut immediately upon the end…

I think you are completely misunderstanding the issue here. This is not a debate about what the appropriate policy should be re: india and pakistan. Lets save that for another day.

Or maybe the refs could just not be bad at their jobs?

Or maybe officials could just not be bad at their jobs.

I mean, he still have100 yards receiving game and was basically their entire offense in the 2nd half. He still managed to play really well and had several big plays.

Right. That safety was completely ticky tack. Did he hold him? Extremely momentarily and dubiously. A very very borderline call, that had a big impact on the game.

Don’t disagree at all. The Giants offense is completely putrid. But we should be able to separate that out from the objective observation that the refs yesterday were super inconsistent and arbitrary, even moreso than the usual shitty NFL refereeing. Egregious calls on both sides all over the place.
