‘Rapidly Intensifying’ Hurricane Maria Takes Aim at Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands

He's got a good eye for football and likes what he's seeing.

I don't remember who started the whole "call timeout at the very last second before a FG" but I hate them.

someone remind the bears that it's not against the rules to throw the ball past the first down marker oh and it's legal to catch the ball

It's hard to tell on TV coverage sometimes, but I'm sure part of the problem is nobody getting open downfield, anyway. Just an atrocious offense outside of the RB's.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 01:20 PM) Longest pass attempt was 14 yard completion to Tarik Cohen....and I don't think we attempated anything further downfield then that. Way too easy for a defense to scheme against that. Glennon can't throw any farther than that

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 12:45 PM) Whelp, my Sunday afternoon just opened up. Will they win 5 games this year? unless there's a last minute schedule change and they play the browns 7-8 times, no

"protest peacefully!" "no not like that" "or that" "just don't do anything that would ever disrupt or inconvenience anyone"

followed by a really bad call on that TD, never got the right foot down edit: never mind, second replay showed it better

That's how I was leaning but I am bad at fantasy

Need to make a last minute decision between Eli or Dak

QUOTE (Chicago White Sox @ Sep 17, 2017 -> 10:23 AM) I can't believe this is actually a real post. What is wrong with it? Where is the actual evidence that people are being paid to attend protests on a wide scale as is often alleged? Without any sort of backup, that claim is about as believable as Hickory Husker's claim that he knew multiple people who were heavily pressured into getting abortions by Planned Parenthood even though they weren't even pregnant.

QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 11:14 PM) Amen. Why can't we have peaceful protests??? Bust a window? Go to jail. Haven't you also complained a bunch about the peaceful protest by NFL players during the national anthem?

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 16, 2017 -> 11:28 AM) "Police were forced to detain a female protestor after she refused to follow their directions to clear an area , as wild protests became out of control" Journalism is easy! Police knocked over an older woman, trampled her, and then pepper sprayed the people who tried to assist her. Don't make excuses for these thugs.

They were also knocking down old ladies and pepper spraying people trying to help her up https://twitter.com/search?q=place%3Afb2622...src=twsrc%5Etfw

They're apparently trying to take another shot at repealing Obamacare via Graham-Cassidy. Repeals the mandate, turns Medicaid into a block grant program (destroys funding long-term), allows insurers to charge higher premiums for pre-existing conditions.

The main thing I keep seeing in polling is that a big chunk of the country, usually around 60%, don't think the Democrats really stand for anything (or they can't name what they stand for). Forgettable things like "A Better Deal" that quickly get mired in a bunch of technical details with no easily digestable top-line slogans won't change that.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 11:57 AM) So should police back off at some point? Let the person go? Absolutely. This is standard procedure in many police departments now because high speed chases endanger so many people. That's actually at the core of that Utah nurse assault case--that department's policies disallow high speed chases because of the exact result we saw--innocent people being gravely hurt unnecessarily. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/a9096...-away-15532838/ In the Stockley case, the guy was suspected of making a drug deal. Is it worth putting the public and the officers' lives at risk to engage in a high speed chase in a residential area?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 11:33 AM) That AK had some kinda of drum clip on it. Maybe the cop was planning on going to war later that day. Good thing we're flooding police departments with military hardware again and stopping the DoJ from investigating systemic civil rights abuses and pursuing consent decrees.

So your "parallels between the Bernie left and the [white supremacist Nazi] alt-right" was just a 'joke' or? because my point was that your comparison was silly and just an attempt to tarnish those to your left with a weak association to modern nazis.

The police SUV also rammed into some signs and poles. High-speed chases are dumb, dangerous and unnecessary in all but the most extreme cases. The risk to others isn't worth it.

QUOTE (JenksIsMyHero @ Sep 15, 2017 -> 11:13 AM) Don't really excuse the shooting, but that's a pretty unsympathetic victim there. You're running away from cops, causing damage and threatening the safety of the public (swerving into oncoming traffic, barely missing an oncoming car). Was the cop alleging that Smith had a gun in the car? What's his excuse for firing? I feel like there's a puzzle piece missing here... But by the time he was murdered, the car was stopped. He wasn't a threat to public safety (and police conducting high speed chases, especially in residential/surface street areas, is extremely dangerous and many departments have stopped them). The cop alleges that Smith had a gun in the car. The gun recovered from the scene only had Stockley's DNA on it, not Smith's.

Those weren't ad hominems, though. Call them hasty generalizations if you want, but in those specific examples anyway, the "good cops" at best stood by and let their fellow "bad cop" abuse power. It's not uncommon. Any thoughts on yet another murdering cop getting acquitted?

Cheeseball ending imo but otherwise really solid.

That's the go-to example of why ad hominem fallacies are bad, dude. Just because Hitler supported interstate systems doesn't say anything about interstate systems one way or the other. Just because two groups both have a more isolationist bent than the warmongers who love to bomb bomb bomb doesn't say anything beyond that one overlap.
