Will Dunn get a job with the organization after he retires?
Dunn is going to retire and move directly into a deer stand, not into a coaching staff

The Pet Thread
QUOTE (Brian @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 05:59 PM) I was looking for a retriever pup when I found my beagle mix. I'll probably stick with medium sized dogs if I get another sometime. You have a really good looking mutt though. It really has a neat look and I like its color

The Pet Thread
QUOTE (illinilaw08 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 05:45 PM) I've had a Vizsla named Finnegan for the past 2.5 years. He is, with all due respect to every dog that came before him, the best dog I have ever had. Sweet with friend's kids. Great with other dogs, and amazing as a hiking buddy out here in CO. They are an extremely energetic breed, so you need to have the time to wear them out, but just wonderful dogs. We're thinking about adding a second dog in a year or two and a Swiss Mountain Dog is at/near the top of the list, but after this dog, we'll probably always have a Vizsla in our lives. That's how I feel about Basset hounds. The longer I go without a dog the more I convince myself that's what I want to get again. I love a Vizsla's look though. Those and Weimaraner's have such awesome coats and colors

9-11 rememberance thread
QUOTE (Swingandalongonetoleft @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 11:26 AM) I've never considered any parallel between that song and 9/11. I see Yankee Hotel Foxtrot was released in 2001, and a quick googling shows me that the album was originally set for a 9/11/01 release, but the tall buildings shake/skyscrapers are scraping together lines are pretty generic. I didn't pick this album, or Wilco up until long after 2001, though, so there is that. just an FYI, he wont respond to this

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:22 AM) Insta-banned? Depends on the case I'd say. The Ray Rice one happened in February. The NFL had some ability to take their time with that one, it's their own stupidity that screwed it up. This one, there's a legal case here that has to be made first. If you had video of it happening, then maybe you make the suspension right there because you have the evidence in hand, if there's no video then you have to wait at least a little bit until law enforcement does its job because we do give a presumption of innocence overall in this country and that should carry over. The teams in the NFL can probably decide on their own how to deal with a guy in that scenario. Without knowing the person, it does seem like a team where the coach says he has zero tolerance for that stuff publicly is a case where the team should elect to sit him based on the coaches statements, but I won't say that should be the case in every circumstance. If a guy is going to play while the investigation moves forward, that's tolerable. You can't fire a guy or tell him not to come to work that day until the police give something. Which is our biggest issue right now, and why i asked that about McDonald. If we all saw this tape back in february of Rice throwing the punch, would he have gotten 6-8 games or would he be indefinitely suspended?

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:13 AM) He got fired from him job. I don't see that as extreme at all. he got punished, then punished again. I thought 6-8 games was fair for what happened. and then we have the 49ers DT McDonald beating his pregnant gf or wife and playing a week later. If there was tape of him beating her, would he still have played? or would he be insta banned from the NFL?

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 11, 2014 -> 09:04 AM) Can we just admit that at some point this is all just piling on? That everyone has this, jealousy for lack of a better word of the NFL, so now's a good time to go after them? I mean, it's pretty sad that the focus of the outrage has shifted from Rice and domestic violence issues in sports to the NFL and how it handled this. Over a video that, again, didn't need to be seen to understand what happened. I agree that Rice has gotten extreme punishment over something we already knew. I dont agree that it is piling on for the NFL, i believe they deserve this for trying to sweep this under the rug and repeatedly being caught in lies.

9-11 rememberance thread
I remember so many little things. Waking up after having a bonfire the night before in my backyard, with my roomates mom calling over and over until one of us picked up the house phone. We finally got up and put the tv on right before the second plane hit. The coverage was just so surreal, so many different possibilities of what caused it and who caused it. I remember the gas station down the street from me went from 1.35/gallon to 1.95/gallon by the end of the day, and 2 years later had to pay a significant fine for price gauging

I haven't looked at Cutlers record against good teams, but the last game of the year against the Packers, he was very good in a very big game. He certainly didn't lose that game

Basically all of your funds, personal and credit card, are federally insured(we know this). So we issue the credit up front and work on recovering the funds afterwards. Depending on the type of case (Internet/phone, counterfeit, stolen) we win or lose based on the rules set by Mc and Visa. The cardholder isn't affected unless we suspect them

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) For the bank, sure, but fighting with Chase over a $2000 charge I don't want to pay is different than fighting with Chase over $2000 that are already withdrawn from my account via debit card. I work recovery in chase, we issue credit as soon as the case is assigned.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 9, 2014 -> 09:55 AM) I thought CC charges are easier to dispute and reverse than debit charges because debits hit your bank account immediately. It's all processed similarly. In the end, the bank loses.
