Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 10:05 AM) If Goodell is lying about not having the seen the video, then yes, we could see a situation where there is pressure on him to resign. Pressure from who? You think he or the owners give a s*** about what the fans think? He made (and makes) the owners a s*** ton of money. He's not going anywhere.

Oh i'm sure that's the case (both the wanting to cash out and the zero tolerance). But I also think it's pretty s***ty of the NBA to come out and be so against this, as if it's even close to the Sterling stuff. The guy was telling the team he wanted more diversity at the games. How is that a bad thing?

Ray Rice Cut and Suspended Indefinitely
QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ Sep 8, 2014 -> 08:37 AM) It's a very slight chance of course, but I could imagine a scenario where Goodell is forced to resign. Come on, let's have some perspective here. Rice is a terrible human being and he did a terrible thing, but he didn't murder someone. He didn't get his 6th DUI.

So, anyone else read that Atlanta Hawks e-mail? I'm not really sure what's so racist about it... I wonder if he/the ownership group was more worried that he would piss off white fans in Atlanta?

Cutler is a taller Rex Grossman. Lets just all accept it. Never winning with him and an average defense, even with all the talent around him. Also, Tillman you f***ing suck. Conte will get the headline forthat last play, but Tillmam took a terrible angle and let that 5 yard run turn into 40.

Where did those rumors come from? I don't see anything on the boards, although it could be buried.

QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 5, 2014 -> 11:53 AM) Any attorney would take the case and a third if they win. City would settle out of court and give you something. If there was notice it is a decent five figure win. If there's notice (or an argument for constructive notice) you better get an attorney involved. The City won't play if you don't have an attorney behind you. They'll offer you pennies, if anything.- Official Recruiting Thread II
My hope is Evans commits this weekend and Thomas commits in 2 weeks. Doesn't sound like Evans' trip to USC went all that well (describing it as "pretty good.") and I just can't see either of them pulling the trigger on OK State.- 2014 TV thread
QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Sep 5, 2014 -> 10:32 AM) Boardwalk ends beginning Sunday http://theconcourse.deadspin.com/boardwalk...91/+robharvilla I wish it could have run to fruition. I like GOT but I still was more intrigued by Boardwalk. Agreed. GoT is great, I'm a fan of the show and the books, but the TV show is incredibly overrated. Sad to see Boardwalk go and go out so quickly (just 8 episodes).- Law/Legal Thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 5, 2014 -> 09:43 AM) Well how would you find out if the City had notice? FOIA request, you just have to word it properly.- 2014-2015 NFL Football thread
My takeaway from last night is that Seattle is very good, but Green Bay's defense continues to be pretty awful. And their offensive line has some issues. I don't think North has to go through Green Bay this year. I think the division is up for grabs with a few teams good enough to possibly win it.- Law/Legal Thread

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) No notice, just a huge hole on the side of the road. They may have had notice. You never know. All it takes is for someone to call 311 to notify the city that the hole needs to be repaired. They keep records for every complaint/notification they receive.- IN ban on gay marriage thrown out by US fed court
QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 04:35 PM) It hasn't been a real solid argument for a while now, having been explicitly rejected by every lower court that has been presented with it. None of those opinions matter when the issue ultimately gets decided by SCOTUS. They just need one angle to decide the case. You can bet that's going to be the angle of the conservative judges - that's not a fundamental right, it's a social issue, let the people decide, not courts.- Law/Legal Thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 04:19 PM) My wife fell into an unrepaired hole around a manhole cover last night and fractured her ankle. Should we sue the city like a bunch of money crazy mf'ers? It's not money crazy when your wife has to deal with the cast/boot for the short term and additional arthritic pain for the long term (depending on how severe). It's not wrong to want to be compensated for having to put up with the annoyance (and pain and suffering) of having to go through all that. Having said that, you might not be able to sue anyway. I mean you can sue, but you might not be successful. It depends on if the City had notice of the hole before she fell.- Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:59 PM) I don't know if there have been any studies in regards to the advent of porn/cybersex on the internet, but I wouldn't be surprised if the number of unintended pregnancies/rapes/STDs have been reduced as a result. If you read all the feminazi bulls*** out there right now you would think it was the opposite. Apparently, we're all sex-crazed misogynists. They argue porn has made society worse because men think of women as objects to be conquered. Frankly that's a bunch of bulls***. Women have always been "objects" to men, objects in the sense of desire for survival and procreation. Seeing women arouses the majority of men. And when we're bombarded with these celebrities in various states of undress, being sexy and wanting that attention, of course we're going to be interested in seeing them fully nude if the opportunity presents itself.- Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:43 PM) 33 here, I am glad I missed this trend, if I was a college freshman with my long distance gf I probably would have done this s***. I mean, how many girls want a dick pic? My freshman year of college we had a guy who had a girlfriend back home. They'd been dating for just a little while before he started college. They weren't a "long" distance away, but 3-4 hours driving and with school and everything they went 5-6 weeks without seeing each other. So of course she starts sending him webcam videos of herself. And of course he proudly shared them with our group. He wasn't interested in dating her long term, but while he was getting these videos and striking out at school, he kept that relationship going. That's what you have to consider with those photos/videos. Once you send them, you basically have to assume that the guy is sharing them all with his friends immediately, and then holding on to them for life.- Official Recruiting Thread II
QUOTE (RockRaines @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:41 PM) I think you've nailed other coach's pitches to him regarding why he shouldnt go to Illinois. Playing time is an issue at MSU and Villanova though. I guess he could start right away at Purdue and Temple.- The Pet Thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:38 PM) And the reason I was looking for this thread was because a few days ago my dad went to go visit a breeder and put a deposit down on a new litter of American Brittanys. We will get pick of the litter, and are going with an orange and white female. We chose the breed because my mom requested a medium size dog instead of the large dogs that we've always had, and she wanted a dog with short hair because our retriever's shedding was out of control. My dad and I wanted a dog that was very sporty and loves water. I eventually came across the breed of a Brittany that none of us, or anyone I've talked to, has ever heard of. They used to be called Brittany Spaniel's, but the spaniel name dropped out sometime in the 80s I believe. These dogs are fantastic hunting dogs, even though ours will be a family pet and not used for sport. Here is a google image search of various Brittanys https://www.google.com/search?q=American+Br..._AUoAQ#imgdii=_ My best friend growing up had 2-3 Brittany's at any time. Be prepared for a very energetic dog. They have a lot of personality though too. My Boston is coming up on 10 years here pretty soon. She's been slowing down the last year or so. Not a ton, but enough to be noticeable. Not quite the ball of energy she used to be. It's going to crush us when she's gone because she's been about the best dog you can ask for. Quiet, obedient, loving and great with other animals and especially with kids.- Official Recruiting Thread II
QUOTE (Boogua @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:31 PM) The problem is that I'm sure he's trying to sell both of them that they can be the starting PG from day 1 with Tracy graduating and only Tate in front of them. He can't promise them both starting positions because there is no way one of them starts over a JR Nunn or a SR Cosby. Probably true. At this point I think i'd rather have Evans. All the reports from the AAU stuff this summer was that he was the most impressive PG in the country.- Technology catch-all thread
QUOTE (Chilihead90 @ Sep 4, 2014 -> 03:18 PM) I send nudes on the regular through snapchat. Who cares? I'm not dumb enough to put my face in it, and I have no tattoos. Whose gunna know whose dick it is? I've got quite the collection of nude girls from Tinder because of this. I'm satisfied. Lol, so you are one of those dudes. I'm 32 and have been with my wife for nearly 10 years. Haven't been in the dating game a LONG time. I was chatting with some girl friends of mine who are younger, 24-25, about these nude pics and they were telling me that they constantly get hit up with dick pics from guys they meet. They'll just immediately send out a dick pic through a text. I wondered, who does that? Why do that? There's no way I would ever do that. - Law/Legal Thread
