Misty Suri sounds like a porn name.
Look, semangeloph1, just because Trump supporters are wrong about a bunch of shit doesn’t mean that you can’t legislate against hate speech.
This kind of thinking only reinforces the (correct) belief that Americans have no grasp of history, even contemporary history like WWII. Banning Nazism doesn’t need to be seen as some precedent setter that can be used to ban other speech when it doesn’t suit the zietgiest of the time. They murdered over 6 million Jews…
Incitement to race based hatred and/or violence is a pretty easy place to draw the line. And I really don’t see how “BLM speech” (wtf) would stray into that.
It’s not actually that crazy. What is or is not considered offensive or horrible speech is highly dependent upon the culture and time period. Right now, obviously we find Nazi and white supremacist language and ideas to be horrific and well we should. Unfortunately, ten years from now, we may find Black Lives Matter…
Well, freedom to express unpopular ideas, as long as you do it non-violently, is something we cherish as Americans and live with the downsides. However, it raises the responsibility on all of us as citizens to exercise our rights to fight back, non-violently, against repugnant ideas like Nazism, racism, and white…
Nah. I’d rather these morons take advantage of the opportunity to pronounce themselves openly, so that the rest of us know who they are and thus have a fair chance to punish and further marginalize them in whatever capacity possible. Vermin thrive in the darkness, and the best solution to bad free speech has always,…
One easy to way to tell if you are on the wrong side of an issue is when the other people who agree with you are carrying Nazi flags.
Yes you have, General Kelly. Yes you have.
You can still find all-time great NCAA kickers in later rounds.
God I really do love this kind of hindsight bullshit.
It’s not hindsight, they were roasted in advance by many people. Because it was a bad move. Wasting a second round pick on a kicker is terrible management strategy. Trading up for to make that pick is a flaming pile of terrible. The fact that there is always inherent risk in making a draft pick does not excuse the…
Are you familiar with the concept of replacement level?
The internet would have crucified Al, he wouldn’t have cared ,and since the Raiders didn’t wind up releasing the guy 15 months later that’s probably a sign he worked out fine.
any team would be lucky to have a draft class that saw 4 out of 7 picks make the squad for more than three years. The problem with drafting kickers is 1) you’re getting a guy who’ll only contribute to 14-18 plays a game while passing on good talent at other positions that’ll see 25-80 plays a game, and 2) the higher…
He wasn’t known for having a big leg. He was incredibly consistent inside of 40 yards and pretty average outside. If I’m taking a kicker in the 2nd round, that guy had better be the year 2000 Tiger Woods of kicking. Distance and accuracy. Getting the guy who routinely nails 37 yard FGs isn’t a great use of that pick.
It’s not really hindsight, when everyone knows taking kickers and punters that high in the draft is piss poor value. As great as any kicker or punter is, the number of times where their skill advantages over average players at their position will make a difference in a game is going to be significantly less than a…
A good second-round gamble is the Chiefs taking a 6-foot-7 guy who played at an FCS school and hoping he becomes a starting DE. A bad second-round gamble is picking a kicker when there are plenty of similar options at his position available near the end of or after the draft.
Licht later admitted that he’s coming around on this whole gravity thing, and he’s not ready to come to a firm conclusion yet, but he is definitely starting to think that the Earth more than likely is round.
