The guy is a football savant. He also handles the practice squad. Making sure they best mimic the upcoming week’s opponent. Proof in the pudding is the Pats IDing the pass to Lockett last season in the Superbowl. Butler recognized the play from the sideline, and the rest is history. You can knock Pete Carroll all you…

Adam’s pretty much directs the practice squad. Bulter recognized the play because Adams burned him on it in practice enough times. That’s awesome coaching in my book.

Better yet empty out a boomer that’s within range. I’ve always wondered, with the time it takes to get a ballistic missile on target, can a nation pretty much threaten a MAD response to get the original launcher to back down? In other words, if China launches DF-26’s at Diego Garcia and Guam, would they back down if…

Like a championship. You know, what the entire existence of these teams is about.

A reputation is rarely defined by a single event. See the Saints. Plus I was referring more to their reputation based on their well earned recent accomplishments.

The claims are result of your post, butkus. Claiming that this has anything to do with the Pats organization (Belicheck, Kraft, any of the other players) shows your bias. Making the wild leap in logic to assume that Brady did know about what was going on, it would be a player infraction, not an organizational one…

Where’d you hear anything about the Jets? The Ravens vehemently deny their being an issue with the balls or tipping off the Colts. The only balls in question during that game were kicking balls. The Wells report refutes the officials OWN testimony, which would have otherwise supported the Pats argument. So the Colts…

“I seriously doubt the US political and military commend could justify nuking China over a lost airbase or ship.”

You’ve got them retreating. Don’t stop now! File a lawsuit against Bisciotti, Irsay, and the NFL for collusion. This entire circus reeks of conspiracy.

Thank goodness. Can we move on to the, more realistic, war against mental illness? Colorado, DC, VA (a few times over), Connecticut, Massachusetts; all states covering the spectrum of guns laws. All had very publicized shootings. Every single shooter showed signs of mental illness long before they committed their…

I’ve said it before, the DPRK’s Navy is a bigger issue to contend with than anything on land if the ROK/US have to conduct a first strike. The quantity of vessels in the area makes tracking them problematic. The problem gets magnified when you look at their mine warfare capabilities.

Who makes a UUV/ISR Platform that’s sub 12.75 inch? I thought that’s the smallest the US Navy/SOCOM would go? Also, I don’t see any sort of armature on it. Without one, the vehicle would have a hard time getting a photo of anything with wave action. Unless it’s for inspecting adversary hulls.

NK doesn’t just have it’s guns sitting there pointed at Seoul. They have a lot, no doubt about it, but the vast majority are in bunkers. You don’t need Tomahawk for each gun. You need a Tomahawk for each egress. Egresses that the intel folks keep tabs on VERY closely. The ones that are out in the open are easy…

That’s why I think the only political plan that will work is with China fully supporting. Unfortunately, I think we won’t see that until NK becomes enough of a nuisance.

That is in essence what I mean. A coalition from a planning and funding standpoint. Execution is best done by SK.

In a scenario where loss of ROK life is imminent (i.e. days before an unavoidable conflict between the two), first-strike will be crucial to the US effort. So while you say it’s not possible today, I can assure you that the plans have been made in case the plausible need ever arises. The Navy’s Joint Munition Effects…

You’re mixing two completely different concepts. A preemptive strike and defense of the south from a DPRK strike. I’m only talking about a first strike scenario. The DPRK has SOME artillery on the edge of the DMZ, but the majority is held in bunkers within range of the DMZ. The former is the only bit that endangers…

Well stated. I actually find the idea of rebuilding North Korea to be a pretty fascinating one. They’re not without their natural resources, and many have familial ties to South Koreans. It would more than likely take more than an entire generation to truly homogenize the country (assuming it becomes unified). One…
