grandstanding.

I can imagine tweeting that.

nonsense, mad men was great from the beginning.

zero idea. Hopefully not too bad.

i'm going to buy tickets.

Gore is so good he is better than himself...at everything.

I'm having difficulty finding news on tahrir square. It seems encouraging that despite the deaths, the government is being...responsive, i guess? people are stepping down over it. Thoughts go out to those young people trying to change their country.

You terrible man.

And yes, I have no reason to believe that police just happen to walk up to a random group of people and begin assaulting them for no reason at all. I have been at plenty of protests, very large, and very small, and have never seen the police react violently. Heck, even at times where people probably deserved a baton upside the head, they haven't gotten it. Meh, they are given orders to remove the protestors. They come across a group of a bunch of college kids sitting down. They tell them to move then immediately pepper spray the s*** out of them and then still muscle them into the ground and put handcuffs on them and the police say what...successful operation. The problem now is that there is no accountability in police depts. It is too "protect your own", and the hardest punishment that seems to be given out is suspensions.

Lots of teams seem to "come back to life" against the Panthers D. The panthers scored a ton of points on that vaunted Lions D, 2 games in a row of 35+ pts against.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 05:27 PM) Contrary to ss2k5, I don't think they are intentionally getting themselves beat and sprayed. They didn't highlight abusive authority--the police did by carrying out these actions. I think they are, but beside that, they are holding up police brutality as their rally points, not the occupy original message.

The bears D giving up a lot of yards has been a staple for years. They haven't given up a sack in like 3 games after giving up 29 or however many in the first 5. That's no because jay cutler is just avoiding them. It's because lance louis has been amazing.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 05:23 PM) My argument has been all along that you are watching it. I don't disagree with you on the blocking intersections and bridge marches, but the actual camp break ups i don't think was meant for this.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Nov 21, 2011 -> 05:17 PM) It can be related back to the same central theme of power vs. powerless and the use of the state to protect privilege. But it does obscure the central wealth and income inequality message. It will also kill any goodwill you have from the country. I do believe police privilege is a discussion to have, but don't ruin your occupy message taking that on. It's too muddled. I went to OWS chi twice, even made a sign, but was really hoping that some sort of political organizing would result from it. But it's just run by kids who for the first time feel like they are "connecting" and s***. The heart of this was the tumblr...we literally needed a powerful and charismatic person to help push it. It's funny, in a way, the conservative tea party protests for decentralizing big government were much better at centralizing their power, then the OWS movement which started off so promising getting union and community participation, only to not make that next step. It sucks. Their emotional argument was 100% correct, but they were so scared of alienating anyone they never allowed the intellectual argument it needed. And so may smart people were there to make it.

I don't even know how to respond to that. The line isn't better at all, huh? Did you see the long throws cutler had when he had multiple seconds to throw long? Those didn't happen earlier. Our defense isn't much better at all compared to the beginning of the season? These are just stupid observations. They deserve to be called out as stupid. Stats will not back you up.

They are f***ing all of this up. They need more centralization. They've made this about police vs. protestors now, which is not the fight they should be having. Just let winter kill it off.

I believe we could beat the saints. Our oline is much better than what it was that game, which was close until frank f***ing omiyale let a defender breeze past and strip cutler that lead to a TD. We're a much better defensive team than in week 2 as well. You guys are babies.

If the bears make the playoffs the season is not over. ITS NOT OVER UNTIL I SAY IT'S OVER. DID THE BILLS FOLD AGAINST THE OILERS WITH THEIR BACKUP QB AND DOWN 5 TOUCHDOWNS? NO. GOD DAMN IT WE ARE GOING TO BEAT EVERYONE

How can we quibble about politics with Jay Cutler having a broken thumb

I'd be pretty furious if the QB didn't even try to make the tackle.

This is so s***ty. I really hope we get him back for the playoffs, if we get there. I guess the only thing i feel good about, is that we'll have to ask our defense to carry us there. And if there's a group of guys that has proven they'll do that, it's them.

I just really can't believe this. I went to the game today, my first in a while...flying high as a kite, then this s***. We're 7-3, rolling, and now this. God damn it.

WHY GOD WHY WHAT THE f***.
