  1. Putting them behind the bench is a dumb idea imo. First of all, the sidelines are much farther from the field than the endzones are. Second, you want to impact the players on the field with noise moreso than the bench, never understood what that's supposed to accomplish. Third, you'd piss off more/richer boosters way faster. The bottom section across all south stadium is the way to go.
  2. This is a very high quality staff, we have a high quality of talent and experience, and all the resources and AD support Frost could possibly hope for. Time to deliver some damn results.
  3. Weird you feel that way because I read your complaints and I see that installing actual seats solves the seating issue, and solves the cramped concourse and bathroom issues by reducing capacity. At the end of the day, going to a stadium to watch a sporting event will never be as comfortable as your home can be. But it offers a magic experience that only comes in that environment. If that's not for you it's fine, but the effort and the trouble are part of what make it a memorable and special experience for plenty of others.
  4. There's no such thing as not having favorites. There's always favorites. You just hope that what makes them favorites is what also makes them the best and most productive players. Sometimes there's different mindsets and framework for determining the answer to that, and people don't agree on that.
  5. And when reporters ask players in the league what the toughest environments to play in are.
  6. I don't think I've ever seen a team with this much talent be this bad. It's honestly unfathomable.
  7. Sounds like good curriculum and not at all incompatible with the approach of the guy in the linked twitter video.
  8. See you immediately jumped to "the good side", framing it as me trying to make or explore the good side of Nazism. That's not what I'm doing, and that's not necessarily what the person in the video is doing (I have no idea who that is or what they're like, so they could be a Nazi or sympathizer but it's not a conclusion appropriately reached from the video). I agree. But if the conversation only ever stops there, that doesn't benefit anyone and in fact will likely end up a detriment. Communism, socialism, nazism, alcohol, cigarettes, pre-marital sex, homosexuality, marijuana, hallucinogenic drugs, dancing, the USSR, tattoos and piercings, strangers from the internet...these are all examples of things parents and authority figures tried to tell me were bad. Without being given permission to explore and understand, they're all equally bad, or equally as tempting to think can't be as bad as people said they were. Nothing wrong with it at all. But there's also room for different approaches of strategy in how to get there.
  9. You don't have to agree or even think that it's illegitimate, but Russian collusion and influence on the 2016 election is proven. None of the claims of 2020 rigged have been proven, or even have anything close to a preponderance of evidence.
  10. Less than 50% imo. There's nothing wrong with this perspective - teaching people what things are and letting them critically work out whether those things are good or bad is a much more beneficial approach to all than teaching everything about a subject under the guise of it being good or bad.
  11. I'm curious why we should get out of meddling in and influencing other countries' elections if the candidates end up being legitimately elected?
  12. Alright then conceptually there is no point in making an emphasis that Russia didn't change individual votes if they did pick a candidate they wanted to win and then acted towards that goal. The only point of conversation is whether they succeeded, and the conclusion isn't based on whether they succeeded in Trump winning, but whether they succeeded in influencing the results. Here's a few things that are factually true and/or in the Mueller report. • The Mueller Report spent hundreds of pages detailing numerous links between Trump's campaign and the Russian government • The report found that “a Russian entity carried out a social media campaign that favored presidential candidate Donald J. Trump and disparaged presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.” • The report found that "a Russian intelligence service conducted computer-intrusion operations” against Clinton's campaign, and released stolen documents • The report found that "the Russian government perceived it would benefit from a Trump presidency and worked to secure that outcome, and that the Campaign expected it would benefit electorally from information stolen and released through Russian efforts.” • The report found that Donald Trump Jr., Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner met with Russian nationals in Trump Tower in New York June 2016 for the purpose of receiving disparaging information about Clinton as part of “Russia and its government’s support for Mr. Trump,” • The report found that Russia interfered in the 2016 election in “sweeping and systematic fashion.” • Russians probed at least 21 state voter databases for insecurities, stole voter's personal information, hacked Hilary's campaign and the DNC and shared tens of thousands of emails with Wikileaks, tried to hack the RNC, spread propaganda across social media via troll farms, and staged rallies in at least two states featuring things such as a hired American actress dressed as Clinton in a prison jumpsuit. • The Senate Intelligence Committee found that Russia “were able to gain access to restricted elements of election infrastructure” and “were in a position to, at a minimum, alter or delete voter registration data.” Now I'm not trying to claim or get you to agree that Trump was an illegitimate President. But I think you can probably at least agree that with this amount of concerted and explicit effort, at the very least, as a starting point, Russia was successful in influencing the election.
  13. Do we change votes when we influence foreign elections?
  14. I'm really excited about Casey. He's got a great feel for the pocket and great eye discipline, keeping his vision downfield and knowing when/where to progress if something isn't open. His deep balls look like a glaring issue but that's the only thing about the kid from that hour of film that seems like it's a worry.
  15. I'm just not a fan of Robert Rodriguez involved with this IP. His episode of season 2 of Mando was the worst directed by a landslide, and I saw the same style popping up immediately Book of Boba - primarily with action set pieces.
  16. Not showing up is the political theatre that serves their base the best.
  17. What success? A member of city council, a mayor of El Paso, and a U.S. rep, then repeated failures despite being an incredibly charismatic, reasonable and likable personality? Their failure to enact true policy change comes from being too willing to compromise and try to make things palatable to conservative politicians and citizens. It's damned if you do, damned if you don't, and once again the most culpable party is the one you're spending zero time focusing on. The Build Back Better plan offers millions of jobs, infrastructure upgrades, rural broadband, offers great assistance and the biggest initiatives in history with pre-school/childcare, offers tax cuts to millions, helps middle class families invest in clean energy, reduces drug costs, expands Medicare, extends the EITC for millions, makes the largest and most comprehensive investment in affordable housing in history, and is entirely paid for by the rich. There's messaging everywhere designed towards rural white voters. "There is no economic solution being offered by either party for the issues rural areas face" is an absolute horses#!t opinion.
  18. You asked if we should have a yearly remembrance at the Capitol for all those who protected our country and died. That's different than yearly remembrances of specific events where some people got injured. Memorial Day, Veteran's Day, National Peace Officers Memorial Day, National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, and other days and moments of silence/remembrance ceremonies on those days have all the people you're curious about not being remembered covered.
  19. I'm pretty sure this is a common occurrence at the Capitol and across the nation. Memorial Day and Veteran's Day are holidays, for example. You bring this on yourself. Create a culture of taking everything posted exactly literally, and you'll be a victim of the same culture. Remember the whole, "just to be clear, gerrymandering doesn't impact anyone's right to vote" thing you harped on when we all knew what NM meant?
  20. Okay. I'll just go in order of all pass plays in this video: 1. Nowhere to step up to. Nothing bad here. 2. Tries stepping up, blitzer comes through, correctly escapes. Nothing bad here. 3. Went the only way he could. 4. Good 5. Good 6. Good (bad throw) 7. Good (bad throw) -- there hasn't been a single play yet where stepping up into the pocket is even an option for him 8. Great pocket, no need to step up 9. Tries stepping up but it's honestly a mistake as pocket collapses, only escape was out the sides - ends up fumbling 10. Moves around well but holds on too long. It's an end of half hail mary so not too damning any way 11. This is actually amazing pocket presence 12. This is good presence too, but literally nowhere to go and nothing to do. Gets sacked. 13. Amazing pocket presence - turns into a 70 something yard touchdown. 14. Steps up in the pocket well 15. No need to move around much, stands strong and delivers a beautiful strike 16. Same as 15 17. This play couldn't have been more well executed as far as pocket presence. Perfect job. 18. Feels the pressure coming well and slides over well. This isa ctually fun to watch seeing how good he can feel the pocket, honestly no idea what you're talking about. 19. Could have stepped up more, but he got the pass off and completed it. Not amazing, definitely not bad. 20. Feels the blitz and gets rid of it quickly for a completion. 21. Quick throw 22. Another amazing job of feeling the pressure and dancing in the right way to scramble for a first down. 23. Same as 22, except this time for a 30 yard scramble gain. 24. Quick throw, no pocket 25. Successfully escapes out the only route open to him. 26. Designed rollout 27. Falls back a little (not really anywhere to go), delivers a strike 28. Steps up into the pocket 29. Here's the first example int he video of him very poorly falling backwards instead of stepping up 30. Is able to stand strong for a long time, line eventually gives and he definitely had room to avoid and keep working but gets hit as he throws.
  21. They are. Who thinks they're uneducated, bassackwards, redneck, gun loving, bible hugging, cousin marrying, hicks. The Democrats? They're not the party treating them that way. But again, what's the solution other than Democrats ignoring minorities? Because it's clear if they highlight or target minorities at all that it will be used against them.
  22. Adrian had fantastic pocket presence. He just couldn't get the ball out quick enough too often, and eventually there was no pocket left.
  23. Then....what's the problem? BNBR's whole point was that this is a big problem and the Democrats need to fix it. So the only solution is to never run ads targeted towards or featuring minorities? Seems like another point of evidence that this is a Republican responsibility and not a Democratic one. Here's what the last day and a half of conversation in this thread seems like: Democrats: We have this policy which will really help <insert minority> who is struggling GOP: Look at these guys, white people! They don't care about you, only the brown and the black folks! Dems: White folks this will help you too. GOP: Look at these wellfare queens they're propping up, while you good red-blooded rural Americans are struggling. You're invisible to these coastal elites. Dems: They're lying. This is a good policy designed to help all sorts of less fortunate people. GOP: They want open borders and socialism and whites to be the minority Born N Bled Red: The fault here lies at the feet of the Democrats.
  24. For the record, I am also in the camp of having never seen any of these ads. The most I ever saw were the same 4-5 repeating in Georgia during the run-off election, all but one Republican fearmongering and the last being about how Warnock is a good member of the community. Other than that, I can't recall seeing any political ads outside of TLP twitter. Maybe that's why I'm so disconnected from the rural white voter - they still watch cable, and cable news at that
