QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Feb 6, 2017 -> 08:30 AM) That's the type of loss you never get over as a fan until your team wins a title. The amount of things the Falcons needed to do wrong to allow that comeback is just stunning. You could write a book about how badly the Falcons handled that game from the time they recovered the onside kick up 28-9 late in the third quarter through the end of regulation. It was unbelievable to watch happen. The Packers losing to the Seahawks in the NFC Championship was really awful. I will never be able to rewatch that game, but this was the Super Bowl and you had a huge lead with little time left. I think I would stop watching sports.

Gotta be fun to be a Falcons fan today. Yikes.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:53 AM) I saw a response from media there that said they were basically ignoring him as a bluffing idiot. I hope that's all it ends up being. Him acting tough to show his supporters "look how tough I am with Iran" meanwhile keeping the agreement that Obama made.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:51 AM) Oh great let's go destabilize the middle east even more. That'll work out great just like Iraq... It would be a million times worse than Iraq. Iran actually has a functioning military. They are also not a divided country like Iraq was. They would all be fighting together. Not to mention the allies they have and we have. It would be a historic mess. Unthinkable amount of lives lost and it would probably bankrupt the country. Also, possibly another World War.

@realDonaldTrump 5h5 hours ago Iran is playing with fire - they don't appreciate how "kind" President Obama was to them. Not me! This is about the third day in a row or so that either Trump or someone from his administration has made a statement about Iran. I would hope they aren't seriously considering an attack on Iran or war. I hope it's just wanna be tough guy talk. War with Iran would be devastating to say the least.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 10:26 AM) I don't think Jonathan Allen is Aaron Donald in his very best dreams. Maybe not, but if a team takes him in the top 10, that's probably the production they are thinking when they get him.

Everything about Steven Bannon is a concern.

Cleveland could really do some great stuff in this draft. Take Garrett at 1. Take a top WR or CB at 12. Maybe Williams or Davis or one of the Ohio State CB. Trade 2nd and other stuff for Garoppolo. Although I think it's going to take 1st to get him. Odds are that they somehow mess it up.

QUOTE (Y2JImmy0 @ Feb 3, 2017 -> 08:28 AM) No they haven't. At least they shouldn't. Donald is a 3 technique DT. Allen more of a 5 technique in a 34 front. He should be a good pro but I worry that he's about as good now as he'll ever be and the shoulder issues are scary. I think Solomon Thomas from Stanford is the best DL in the draft. He could be JJ Watt like at the next level. If they didn't go QB, he'd be my pick at #3. They have. They are both disruptive interior players. Allen - 6'3 290 lbs Donald - 6'0 280 lbs Not all that much difference. Allen a little bit more suited for 3-4 5T, but that stuff doesn't matter all that much. Mike Daniels plays 5T for Packers and he is same size as Donald. Allen has great pass rush ability. Last two years he had 22 sacks. That's why you are drafting him top 10. Now if you are worried about injury totally get that, but that is up to teams to figure out with doctors. Sorry, if we can compare Thomas to Watt, we can compare Allen and Donald. Even if you don't want to compare those two play style. The production Donald gives you is what teams expect out of Allen.

People have compared Allen to Aaron Donald.

There was also an 8 year old girl that was killed in that raid. Shot in the neck and left to bleed to death for hours.

@Bencjacobs 12m12 minutes ago Mike Flynn: As of today, we are officially putting Iran on notice Can't wait for the Iran war. Bigger and better then the Iraq war.

QUOTE (Con te Giolito @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 12:46 PM) You dont know or understand the difference between multiculturalism and assimilation. I'm sorry, you can do all the weaseling and "WHY WONT YOU RESPOND TO MY POINTS" but that kind of wanton disregard to even familiarize yourself to a college freshman level understanding of the issue disqualifies you from having a thought worth taking seriously on the matter. You say the USA and Europe are different, but aside from the Atlantic Ocean separating them you seem unable to explain why. And you are hung up on this idea that I'm afraid of terror attacks and that its "risky" to let them in lest we invite more attacks onto our shores. That's not really the point and never has been. Terror attacks are just symptoms of larger issue Muslim refugees have assimilating into the native culture, but because you dont really understand what assimilation is (the fact that you think it means they have to respect our laws actually made me LOL) having this discussion with you is worthless. It'd be like asking my dog how to fix something on my car. I'm not falling for it, and my refusal to insult my own intelligence and do battle with somebody who is literally clueless on the topic is not "running away from the argument". We get it. You are very smart and we are all very uneducated on this issue. I'm very sorry we have offended you, sir.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 08:17 AM) Bannon is a Nazi, and he has described himself as a "Leninist" in that he wants to completely tear down the system to rebuild his vision (ethnic nationalism) in its place. LH is right when he says that this pick is what we could have expected out of a Jeb or Rubio or any other Republican. I know, it's just weird to hear. I also don't think he considers himself a Leninist. I saw the other day someone call him a Leninist Communist. No. He just liked how Lenin used a Vanguard party to tear an old system down. I'm sure outside of that he thinks Lenin was the devil.

QUOTE (brett05 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 06:32 AM) The Republicans did what the Democrats refuse to and that is let the people decide. The people elected the President that made it perfectly clear he would replace the spot with an Originalist. If the people would have elected Hillary, we'd have the hearing on Garland. As such, if the Democrats really do try and filibuster this, it's going to turn off much of America and could be a crushing blow to the Democratic party. Lmao. A crushing blow. They literally have nothing to lose. They have been trying to play nice for the last 8 years. Now they should do everything they can to make it as hard as possible for this nut to put anyone on the Supreme court or any law passed. The ones who don't should be primaried when they are up for election.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Feb 1, 2017 -> 06:42 AM) He actually made a choice that a normal Republican would make. I guess that when you need an established judge that the Senate will need to approve, you can't just nominate a Bannon inspired Leninist Nazi puppet. Leninist Nazi?

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 01:23 PM) Spicer tried to use the incident in Quebec of a white supremacist shooting up a mosque as justification for Trump's Muslim ban. He also tried to defend their Holocaust statement that neglected to mention the Jews with "We love Israel!" and "by and large people loved our statement." Also called being held in an interrogation room for hours and being denied legal counsel "a minor inconvenience" @josheidelson Spicer, asked about 5 yr-old: "To assume that just b/c of someone's age or gender or whatever that they don't pose a threat would be wrong" He's also scared of a 5 year old. I could actually see a group of like 5 year olds beating up Spicer.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Jan 30, 2017 -> 10:11 AM) Was pretty awesome to march among thousands last night at a pro-immigration/refugee rally last night in downtown Seattle. What is this obsession by conservatives that people who protest don't have jobs. Like it's some how impossible to do both.

@49ers 12h12 hours ago John Lynch has been named General Manager of the San Francisco #49ers. This is kinda weird.

Imagine living in Flint, MI and hearing Paul Ryan say we are going to spend 14 billion dollars to build some stupid f***ing wall or how we have to spend billions more on military. They can't even get clean water.

Not really a transition, but Nixon taking office after his reelection was a total mess.

They got rid of Chandler Jones. Traded Jamie Collins. Lost Rob Gronkowski for the year. No big deal. See you in the Super Bowl.

I can't wait until we spend 15 billion to build this dumb wall and it doesn't work. I'd like to post comments from Paul Ryan about how we don't have the money for something. It would take hours to do.
