Not an illegal motion: the rules specifically state the fair catch signal requires the hand to be raised above the head, and Brewer’s hand was nowhere near his shoulders. 

“ARTICLE 2. A valid signal is a signal given by a player of Team B who has obviously signaled his intention by extending one hand only clearly above his head and waving that hand from side to side of his body more than once.”

Or special teams could learn to tackle without having to obliterate a returner at full speed. If you want safety, make everyone play in soft leather pads again, so that EVERYONE is cautious.  Take away the armor.

But then you’re putting the ability to voluntarily end the play in the hands of the defense, not the offense. No deal.

If you read the SB Nation article, it talks not only to Brewer but to the Offensive Coordinator. This was not a spur of the moment impulse by the returner: this play was practiced since the team was assembled. EVERYONE on the Mean Green (even on the sidelines) was in on it. Even the referees were (probably) warned…

Says President* Donald “grab-em-by-the-pussy” Trump.

Just put this on and people will wish you were invisible. Everyone in your family will pretend they don’t know you, and others will cover their eyes.

But did he buy the extra insurance for the rental?

They knew that something like this was out there and that’s why they kept their notes about it in the 40,000 papers released the night before confirmation and assembled the “65 girls who knew Brett in High School and say he was a nice guy” list before the accusation surfaced in the news.

I seem to recall an announcement that Marvel is bringing the What If? title back this year.

A standard political evasion: “I don’t recall that.” Used for decades, usually by folks who had a lot riding on not being able to recall things.

I had friends who had an indoor cat who got out and disappeared for four days. Saturday morning, he proudly showed up on their back patio - with a dead iguana.  He had apparently gone on safari.

Flew to Anchorage (summertime), picked up an RV and a van for the family (two parents, three siblings, five nieces and nephews). Took the Parks highway up to Denali and then to Fairbanks. Took the Alaska Highway to Delta, then the Richardson Highway to Valdez. Then took the ferry to Whittier and drove to Seward. …

SBNation has a great interview with both Brewer and the offensive coordinator. It turns out that this was a play they’ve practiced since fall camp started. The linesmen defended Arkansas’ players long enough to leave them uncertain if they’d missed the wave-off then let them through so that they would be behind the…

My favorite description of car this referred to its look as the “Angry Chipmunk” design. I’m not interested in a car design inspired by uncomfortable “modern” furniture from the 1950s. Bugs, gravel and ice are going to play hell with those front “cheeks”. I don’t want my dashboard and center console to become…

In my day, the drunken logic behind this was usually “Damnit. Cops. Can they smell the alcohol on my breath?”

I can agree with that.

In Trump’s world, now that Florence has been downgraded to a tropical storm, no other deaths or damages can be attributed to Hurricane Florence.

Maybe not unhinged, but Bush was so thoroughly out of touch that the entire country had to rise up and smack him in the head over New Orleans before he realized how his chosen staff were isolating and sheltering him for anything going on in the real world.
