QUOTE (raBBit @ Sep 11, 2016 -> 08:11 PM) If you think Assange is a hack after the Manning Leaks, Snowden assistance, DNC Leaks, etc. you're probably just biased. HRC is a lifetime politician with skeletons in closets from all over the world who is pretending to be the people's champion. There's a lot of room for investigative journalism. She's also part of the administration that tried to use their international presence to indefinitely imprison Assange for his work so yes, he has added personal incentive to go at her. In any case, after the FBI found she committed a felony and lied several times and still let her off, I think it's safe to assume she'll be fine regardless of Assange. The FBI did not found she committed a felony, and I would encourage you to actually read that report. As for the rest, sure, he may have set up an organization to do that. But you become a "hack" when your goal to promote government transparency seems to be narrowly focused to western governments and strangely absent on critical documents of, say, Russia. You become a hack when your twitter feed and personal comments express anti-semitism. You become a hack when you apparently are fine holding documents to dump at the right time (to hurt Clinton campaign and elect a very pro-transparency Trump), but are not fine reviewing the documents that you are holding to make sure you don't out homosexuals in countries where they could be murdered for it and release personal bank information for thousands of innocent people. Why again wasn't wikileaks involved in the panama papers? Was it their commitment to transparency? Pretty weird. Why didn't they publish emails that showed Syria sending a cash transfer to Russia? Was that also their commitment to transparency and not being pro-Russia hacks? Maybe they didn't used to be hacks, but now are. But, I mean, I didn't even get to the tweets where they pulled emails from the DNC hack, had no idea what they menat, and tried to get them to sound ominous like when an aide asked to get a video copy of a segment from MSNBC, but their "twitter team" thought it meant they were asking to "pull the segment" as in, "don't air it". Now, maybe I'm being unfair. The New York Times has some incredble work and sometimes has hack work. But Wikileaks at some point needs to answer why it consistently fails to be transparent when the topic is Russian operatives and Oligarchs.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Sep 12, 2016 -> 08:39 AM) He is raw though. They also didn't really use him properly. he should catch a few quick passes and bubbles to get him in space initially. Everyone's routes were too deep yesterday. Houston's defense is awesome but Crennel took Loggains to the woodshed in the 2nd half I think eventually we'll get a fly route but have to wonder how hamstring issue plays into that. Noticeable difference this year was the lack of RB dumpoffs.

Well. Seems like we are a team that is hard to blow out because we play bend don't break defense and run a slow pace on offense, but the games aren't close because of talent. Need 2-3 more playmakers, especially at S/CB

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Sep 10, 2016 -> 02:55 PM) And apparently the refs f***ed up and the play shouldn't have happened. Even better. Yeah what was deal? On clip I saw, play started at zero so I figured t was some defensive penalty.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Sep 9, 2016 -> 03:18 PM) Also an indictment of society for that being what started trending and not any real issues. I don't think "trending" is a standard for anything. While its coverage may not hit what some would expect for its carnage, it has been in stalemate for years and also a major foreign policy topic for that time. Now that a ceasefire has been established maybe Syria will be trending but not sure that's that important.
