  1. Not going to lie I think those pictures with the dot are pretty badass from the cops perspective. I'm sure BRI or someone more knowledgeable can give you the actual reason, but from what I've heard and read in books the 5.56mm or .223 round doesn't really pack much of a punch. Quite a few accounts of soldiers shooting an enemy and they just keep on coming, so if they want to be sure they aim for the head first and go for the kill shot. Better safe than sorry that you or your buddy got shot/blown up.
  2. Here's a few more pictures of Jack from twitter courtesy of BTN. I couldn't get them to imbed. http://btn.com/2013/...at-espy-awards/
  3. I'd love to see a time lapse image of one of these nebulae. Something fluid so you get a sense of their speed and motion.
  4. I walked by this morning and they were rigging the re-bar to pour the final steps in front of gate 20 (too much stuff in the way for pictures), there's a lot of excavation working still going on out front however. They also started to cover the yellow columns in the middle so my guess is the facade with be completely done sometime with in the next week or two.

  6. Stuart Scott can pretend he wasn't crying all he wants. I'm not fooled. Haha I saw that live and thought the same thing, or maybe he was trying to get his eyes inline to unblur the film.
  7. Watching people try to parallel park makes my day. Turning the wheel right backing up, then turning left and going forward again and again should work right?

      My office is near a music store. About this time of day I see moms parallel parking to take their kids to music lessons. Friggin hilarious. lol

      Plenty of guys struggle with it but I've never seen a woman do it without looking like a Benny Hill clip.

    And he died at what age? 53 And from what disease?
  11. I saw him play a year or two before last year and he was very impressive then, too. (But that doesn't mean we can't beat them). I concur. Garnder is the real deal, but so is our offense.
  12. They're a politics and popular culture magazine, it's really not that different.
  13. I feel like most of the Athletes at the ESPYs were too dumb to get the jokes about current affairs not involving sports.

      Maybe not too dumb--just uninformed. Okay, too dumb and uninformed. lol

  14. There are a ton of T-shirts form other athletes with their name and Team Jack on them. And of course Danny is from Nebraska.

    I get that he's a pompous jackass but come on. Underage drinking when your over 18 and out of high school is about the least criminal thing that is actually illegal. Your nephew needs a wake up call though maybe get him hooked on Marcus Mariota, seems ok.. Least criminal thats actually illegal? I guess you have an argument in there somewhere. Your minimalization of underage drinking aside, don't you think he's held to a higher standard? He is the reigning Heisman and a front runner to repeat. He has an elevated platform to push whatever agenda he chooses yet his only agenda seems to be partying and giving his coach and team fits. My question to you is this. If this were your Heisman winning son, what's the tone of your conversation with him after all that's gone on. Getting kicked out of the Manning Academy thing only magnifies the difference between the level of commitment he has compared to the mold set by the Mannings. I'd probably be having the same conversation with him that you would. But you nor I are his parents so that's neither here or there. Of course he's held to a higher standard but not by his choice. Personally I don't think we should be championing athletes as role-models for life. Admire them for their skill and ability on the field but don't take that admiration past the chalk lines. The Rex Burkheads and Tim Tebows of the world are few and far between, and athletes with major character flaws are usually the norm. Like I said he's an idiot for blowing his opportunity with the Mannings but I'm not going to fault the guy for having a good time and doing things our players have done, and I myself have done (this latest incident aside, missing obligation is unacceptable anyway you cut it). He'll probably have a wake up call this season if he doesn't get his focus going soon and that's the real shame, because he has so much potential in him. But some of us have to learn the hard way.
  16. I got a little misty eyed there.

    Eh, whatever. I don't really care about him either way I just think he's an idiot for wasting the opportunity he had.
