Alexi's continued meltdown is my favorite part of the draft so far

bears gonna get ALL the 4th round picks

QUOTE (Alexeihyeess @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 02:41 PM) ugh don't remind me... Kevin White has done nothing for the Bears as a #7 overall pick. He's a bust until further notice, and we don't know how much the Bears knew or didn't know about his shin because they are such an untrustworthy organization. He can still turn it around, he's about the same age Floyd is, but we all can sense where that one is headed. As for Floyd, he's a rail thin player that won't be able to stand up to NFL OL unless he gets on those sweet, sweet NFL roids for a year. At which point he'll be 25 and have only 2 or 3 years left at his physical peak. Not that I think it will matter, the guy couldn't produce in college despite being older than most of his competition. Oh wait nvn that's the coaches fault my bad. This is the hottest of hot takes in this thread though.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 29, 2016 -> 05:10 PM) Sad state of society today if that's true. They probably DRANK BEER too! Maybe even before they were 21!

QUOTE (Kalapse @ Apr 28, 2016 -> 07:06 PM) Positives: Polished, NFL ready left tackle. Negatives: Horribly misguided choice in weed paraphernalia. Summary: Day one starter at crucial offensive position, will be limited to organizations that embrace vaporizers. Lol

Why would trump want Jim Webb anyway? Nobody would care.

Yes, he was trying a similar move to Cruz, stealing the nomination at the convention. They also tried some convention rules changes trickery. Didn't work though. Technically the VP nominee is chosen by the delegates, not the candidate, and the delegates are not bound in any way here. It always ends up being the person the candidate wants, but who knows this year.

QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 01:11 PM) ? Christie is his right hand man. But yeah I agree he wont be VP More likely AG for Christie hypothetically

QUOTE (HickoryHuskers @ Apr 27, 2016 -> 12:44 PM) Palin set the bar very low so in that respect Carly beats it, but has naming a failed primary candidate as the VP ever worked out? Biden ran in 2008 right? It didn't boost Obama or anything though and it was after he clinched the nomination.

The GE is going to be a huge letdown from the primary circus, but to be honest I'm already kinda burnt out.

I don't know why people would say he'd have a chance in the general election. He's probably the worst possible candidate you could have in the GE. At least Trump has the wildcard! factor and has tapped into a political stream not being addressed by others.

Kasich is still in fourth place for total delegates. Its increasingly likely that trump will have the nomination outright going into the convention

I think deliberate disclosure is worse than negligent disclosure and that a comparably high-ranking official got treated lightly, that's all I'm really saying. If you're referring to the alleged hacking, well, that article's a lot more recent than the others that turned up from last year regarding that issue.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 03:46 PM) And Hillary should have known better since ignorance is no excuse. She deliberately and knowingly had subordinates who were NOT classified handle her information just so she wouldn't be inconvenienced and could keep using her Blackberry. The b**** has been in public life since the stone age, she can't claim to have not known, And if she didn't know, then she should just quit now since she obviously would be suffering from dementia. deleted double post. Must have senses how strongly I was mashing those keys. whoa calm down man The worst accusations against Hillary still don't rise to the level of what Patraeus did imo, and he got off lightly. I wasn't commenting on whether that was wrong or not but on how people that high up the chain get treated. also for whatever it's worth, the security logs on her server did not show any signs of hacking

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 02:18 PM) So Petraeus ran an unprotected server and let virtually anyone who wanted to read every damn email on her system? he got hacked by the Chinese, Russians and the kid next door? We even found out about this because some nobody hacker got ahold of some emails. If he did it, you know other world actors did. Believing that isn't so because it might hurt someone who represents 'you' in a political sense is just downright stupid. Petraeus deliberately and knowingly handed classified information to his mistress.

a lot of people don't realize that even after Reactor 4 blew, Reactors 1-3 all continued to operator as late as 2000.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 11:24 AM) In the Wells report 11 of 12 balls were underinflated. They know they were underinflated to some extent. None of the Colts were underinflated. The debate was if they were underinflated enough that it would make a difference because they weren't underinflated by much. I think alot of the debate about the penalty can be summed up by the fact that Godell and the owners are tired of the Patriots getting off easy every time they are caught cheating ie. spygate. They are putting the hammer down to try to stop them from cheating in many very little ways. But the Wells report is pretty much garbage. That's the point. The findings in there are meaningless. Multiple people have gone through the analytical and methodological flaws in that report.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Apr 26, 2016 -> 08:46 AM) We'll just disagree. I think the facts are the facts. You can know the facts without the procedure. In the NFL, they know the footballs were underinflated. That is breaking the rules, regardless of why, how, or anything else. In Braun's case. The chain of custody had nothing to do with the results of the test. There was no tampering with the sample. The technician couldn't send it with Fed Ex the same day as it was closed by the time he got there. He sent it the next day. A violation of the chain of custody but wouldn't effect the test. It would be different if the sample could have been altered. It wasn't. They don't actually know that the balls were underinflated based on the measurements. That's the whole point. Their procedures and methods were flawed and the data collected invalid. Multiple knowledgeable people have gone through the details of all the things the NFL consultants got wrong and why their "facts" aren't actually proven facts. You can't just disagree with that, it's a fundamentally flawed report from the start.

Petraeus did a heck of a lot worse than Hillary is even alleged to have done at worst and he got a slap on the wrist before some cushy "guest lecture" gigs. Low level people slipping up with classified into might get harsher treatment, but once you're that high up punishment becomes less and less likely.

You can't establish 2 without good procedures. That's the whole point. Eta with Braun chain of custody was broken, right? So you can't actually guarantee he conclusively failed the test. I'm sure we're all 99.9% that he did, but the authorities need to be able to actually prove it and they can't if the right procedures aren't followed.
