Related, I know that in aggregate, recruiting rankings are important -- they elite teams tend to have more elite HS players.

However, that list of 2013 Top Pro Style QBs is a tire fire.
- #1 Max Browne (lost starting job at floundering team)
- #2 Christian Hackenberg (had successful freshmen year, struggled the next…

Is this surprising? I’ll bet in a good portion of the country, particularly in the south & rural midwest, Col Jessup is seen as a patriot -- doing what needed to be done. The dead private was a wuss and collateral damage, b/c we need strong men like Col Jessup on that wall to protect us from commies.

I hope one thing…

The worst (well, one of the worst -- who can keep count?) is when Hillary, in a speech, carefully and painstakingly -- with numerous actual examples -- laid out how Trump has worked and courted racists and used that as a base of support.

Trump simply replied with, “She’s a bigot” and headlines followed with “Candidates…

The reasoning -- he knows how to “make a deal” or “work the system.”

“See how smart Trump is? Even when he owes $1 million, he negotiates it down to only $158,000 --- and then he has a “charity” pay for it. Make that man commander in chief!”

....and if Hillary did this? Well, she wouldn’t. And neither would the vast,…

Yeah, this bullshit.

Even though this kid is the “right” age, he significantly outweighs the other kids. In many football leagues, there are not only age groups but also weight limits; same should be true for any other contact sport, such as rugby.

If we’re going to care about safety issues for Cam Newton, we should at…

Fine. Have big expectations for him. Everyone his high hopes early on, and maybe he’ll turn into a quality QB.

But in terms of how he **actually** did, against the Panthers, he put up a Mark Sanchez game (actually worse, if you consider Sanchez throw INT’s at 4% rate, while Siemian doubled that in this one game).

If he…

Actually, he’s just high....H-I-G-HHHH! Colorado.

Well, so Siemian is Mark Sanchez, whose problem has always been turnovers.

And Siemian threw 2 picks (and could have easily had a couple more) in only 26 passes, with 1 TD to balance it out. Siemian did some nice things, but Sanchez also does some nice things, but always costs his team points with too many turnovers.

“Complete hogwash”? Then why has the number of early entrants doubled from about 50 per year (before the current CBA) to about 100 per year?

Yes, very few people (in my experience) in Metro Detroit know much about the Cultural Center. I go up once or twice a year, as it’s only an hour drive for me.

This weekend my family & I went to the Planetarium (first time since the upgrades — very nice!) and though the movie was a bit boring (we saw the “Asteroids”…

Nor should you — I hate those type of retirees with the passion of thousand suns.

“The man has done and is doing worse shit than the Bush-Cheney administration ever did.”

Just wanted to pile on about what a stupid, ill-informed comment this is.

Beyond the Iraq War (do people *not* remember what a tremendous, trillion-dollar-plus, millions of lives ruined clusterfuck that was, and still is?, for the…

I love how the statement says that the “impressive” and “attractive” part of the pitch was “specifically Al and Chris and their production team” in the first paragraph...and then in the fourth paragraph says, “It’s up to NBC to determine the talent.”

Not a very good contract-language ready crafting of the statement,…

What high horse? That’s literally what it is — street justice: private guards pulling guns on small-time vandals, and then letting them go only when money was exchanged; the actual, official justice system was left out of resolving the situation.

Well then, why didn’t the Rio police and judges say “In countries like Brazil, you either solve the problem yourself or not at all.” The gas station owners and his guards “solved” the problem; issue over; just explain to Lochte pulling guns & agreeing to take money from pissers & sign removers is standard operating…

“While Trooper Reason was speaking with the driver, identified as White...”

I don’t believe this. If he were white, he wouldn’t have been pulled over in the first place.

I essentially agree with you, but you still have something wrong — Lochte never said they were “dressed as police.” He said, correctly, “ these guys came out with a badge, a police badge, no lights, no nothing just a police badge...”

He still made up enough details (e.g., being pulled over) and omitted others (the…

Social media and internet commenters (present company excluded, of course) is cess pool of envy and vitriol. Kate Upton gets comments about her looks; Gisele Bundchen; Jennifer Aniston; Hillary Duff — basically any woman who is at least somewhat attractive. It’s depressing, but not unique to Gabby Douglas. All that…

I’ll quote from Gunnar Bentz statement: “As Jimmy and Jack were walking away from the vehicle, the first security guard held up a badge to me and drew his handgun. I yelled to them to come back toward us and they complied. Then the second guard drew his weapon and both guards pointed their guns at us and yelled at us…

Is this comment sarcastic? Gabby Douglas’ “hates America” came & went in a couple days.

This Lochte thing has been covered like the 1972 Olympics Israeli athletes massacre. It has led the news for a week now. He has hardly “gotten a pass” — he is held up (with justification) as an emblem of “white male privilege” and…
