Yeah, I do broadly agree with you. I don’t know how you make the NFL game simple enough for a non-elite QB to play effectively enough. Unless a lot of the modern NFL’s methods and technical support were to go away. This article was interesting though- there were a lot of purported quotes from NFL personnel people…

Yeah, that was a fascinating thing about the Broncos’ season last year. There was an article somewhere a while back (I wish I could find it now but I can’t) which talked about roster building and the cost of Franchise QBs- one of the conclusions drawn was that sooner or later an NFL team was going to figure out how to…

Fair point. That is the most obvious example of an otherwise complete team looking for a QB to plug into the lineup, though. A year ago I would have said Houston were that team, but, well, look how that turned out.

Broncos?

I genuinely thought that guy was going to yell ‘fuck her right in the pussy,’ but that might just be because I am old and no longer with it.

Oh come on yes. One last time for good old gunslinger Tony, bringing joy to my beloved Philadelphians. One last go round for the sake of the memories. One last time.

My Eagles didn’t have a winning season this year, and 2016 sucked, but now, at the end, we get one last chance at the pure joy of seeing Romo throwing…

God damn those Spatial Justice Warriors.

Did I imagine it, or was there some foreshadowing of that too: like as soon as they got into the compound K2 sounded really depressed to me, because he seemed to know that there was no way they were getting out of there alive.

Do not underestimate the Power of Disney. The entirety of 2016 will soon be revealed as ‘mood’ marketing for Rogue One.

Sounds like he was quite the guy. I’m sorry for your loss.

Biggest red flag ever. Also, makes you appreciate how good the rest of that SB-winning Broncos team was.

What was she supposed to do, though? Not mention it when Cho took the conversation there? With respect, I think you’re still treating Cho’s initial account of the conversation as more accurate than the actual conversation.

I also genuinely don’t think that Swinton’s made any kind of mistake-people seem to be laying…

Isn’t it more that Cho said ‘you should consider getting involved with projects which give opportunities to Asians,’ and Swinton said ‘actually, I already am,’ and gave the details? I can’t see how that reflects badly on her.

I guess there is an element of damage limitation here, I just don’t recognise the version of Tilda Swinton, the cynical A-list monster who deviously manipulates people to get what she wants, from her history. Her history has been one of activism and outsiderism:

I see what you’re saying, but Cho was the person raising the issue. how is privately contacting her to say ‘hi, I’d like to understand where you’re coming from’ a disingenuous move? And who’s to say that she hasn’t contacted other people? It’s not like she gets one action to resolve this and that was it.

Also, I think…

I don’t think you have to- http://jezebel.com/tilda-swinton-sent-us-her-email-exchange-with-margaret-1790203875

This, to me, read as Swinton reaching out, admitting she doesn’t know everything about her situation, then respectfully offering her opinion too. There’s no sense of ‘please tell other asians’ or any of the…

Does the posting of the correspondence change your opinion on this at all? Because to me it and doesn’t really show Swinton in a bad light. I would say Cho comes off rather badly there:

No matter how I try, I can’t read that article without hearing anything other than the voice of Ron Burgundy in my head.

Every ethical and safety problem I have with this has been over-ridden by the uncontrollable laughter. I do not feel entirely good about this, but nonetheless I can’t breathe.

Hmm. Not sure how I feel about that. I’m generally pro-euthanasia, with some caveats. Prison strikes me as an unsafe environment for allowing that, though.

Fair warning: Euthanasia was the subject of my masters thesis, this might go on a bit!

The arguments people give for opposing the right to die tend to divide into…
