    How many times last year did Dak have a first down if he runs, only to try to thread a needle into some covered WR or throw a bad pass to a RB? Some players make good decisions under pressure and some make stupid decisions under pressure. Dak too often makes stupid decisions.

    How many times did he make a good throw in that situation? And how many times has a QB taken what looks like an opening to find out that a defender has an angle or is just super fast and it closes before the sticks? 

    That's not to disagree. I'd like to see Dak use his legs more. But I want to see him keep improving his passing game. It could be he wants to be sure to avoid being pegged as a "running QB" which is something black QBs for years were stigmatized with, but that has kind of changed recently so maybe that's not part of it.

    I would also like to see some designed run plays for him, but very rarely so as to make it effective. Once or twice a game tops in key situations. 

  2. I liked it. Definitely worth free on Hulu. I don’t watch tv or movies for deep meaning so I’ll leave that to you guys.  No real heroes or anti heros In my opinion, just people with some likable and some despicable qualities. 

    Two things I don’t fully understand. First, what was the plan when the friend came back? He’d surely be expecting to tutor the girl again or would at least in some way find that the family had taken over all the service roles. Second, probation for that? I know outside justice systems are really different than ours but damn two people died as a culmination of their fraud including a very important wealthy person. If wealth inequality is really a problem in South Korea I don’t see how they get off with fucking probation.

    I don't give a shit about eric hogue or his backward ideas and bigotry. I don't really give a shit who speaks to anyone else's imaginary friend. 

     

    I DO give a shit when the people that do so are in control of anything. There are so many layers involved in what is fucking wrong in everything going on with this entire enterprise.so fucking bandwidth isn't really at issue. But by all means, you do you bro.

    I agree he’s a backwards moron. But some of the worlds largest religions don’t let women lead services. I was raised Catholic and they still adhere to this. The whole system of organized religion is a mess which is a big reason why I’m atheist.

  4. On Friday my wife had a friend over, first time in months we’ve really socialized in person. I had way too much whiskey, puked. I was literally completely useless yesterday. Still feel like shit now. Won’t be surprised if I’m still hung over tomorrow. Fml.

    Are you saying drug addicts don't deserve decent jobs?  Or just the ones that get arrested?  Or what?

    I assume that in jobs involving publicity one might question whether you can trust somebody with his past from embarrassing you publicly. Celebrities can come back from drugs and alcohol but rarely from wife beating these days. There isn’t much detail but a usually what domestic battery means.

  6. Dang, that’s pretty cool, I assume at least because I understood about 3 sentences in that entire article. My brain has a literal roadblock at a certain point in maths. I made 100% in college calc 1 and 2, and physics 1 and 2. I thought I was well on my way. The very next levels I had to drop and moved to business economics like...

    I think all the Biden attacks are hilarious. The current President is the most corrupt, racist, misogynistic, incompetent coward of a human being to ever hold the Office. And people think voters will give a shit about anything Biden has done in his past or that his brain is on a slow train to mushville? No one cares. It’s already priced in. 
     

     

    What's worse is that the current president is the most corrupt, racist, misogynistic, incompetent coward of a human being to ever hold the office, and is also the weakest little bitch of a "leader" we've ever seen at that level of power, always needing a boogeyman and scapegoat for his incompetence . . .  but because Biden is only moderately to the left there are people who think he's literally the same the current president. That is just completely absurd, but here we are.

  8. I've recently started venturing into scotch. I've been drinking mostly bourbons and ryes for the last few years and I think I have a pretty good feel for what I like in that area and was ready to expand. But this two year old thread hasn't even reached page 2? Is surly just not into scotchety scotch scotch? 

    So far I like Glenmorangie 10, Ardbeg An OA, and Highland Park Magnus. I don't want to spend too much on any bottles until I have tested the styles. I'm really liking Glenmorangie at the price point. I'm now looking for more sherry or port cask scotches. My first high dollar purchase at a friends recommendation will likely be Dalmore Cigar Malt. I'm not ready to drop that amount just yet though.

    So when trump does it, it's him being politically incorrect.

    If Biden does it, it's cognitive decline.

    No. When trump does it, it's him being a racist. Because we have an entire body of public actions from him to support that.

    When Biden does it, it's because he put his stupid foot in his mouth by saying something stupid. We have an entire body of public actions to support that.

    Can we please stop with the idea that everything is apples to apples?

    Oh, no, I understood what you were saying. You don't think we can slow it enough without a full shutdown. You may be right. But I'd prefer to try and fail rather than just assume we are going to fail. 

    We could make a huge difference if masks were distributed and everyone used them, but that has become cr so half the country refuses to do it and a very simple way to contain this virus before a vaccine is useless. We've already failed. Everyone will catch it, many will die, but whatevs.

    Sam fucking Darnold said this after the Jets punked us. Darnold looked like an all pro. This was right when he returned from mono. He said Dallas never disguised anything and he knew exactly what we would do and where everyone would be on every play. Embarrassing. He torched us that day. So did Trubisky. Both of these QBs were fucking spares that season until they played our generic ass scheme on defense. Even a high school QB would not be confused by what we do.

    And you want pay Dak $35 per when he can't even disguise coverages for the defense? Wake up dude!

  12. I swear, you fucking guys will believe anything someone tweets. It's pretty clear Dallas wants five years, Dak wants four. I assume he and his agent sees the trends and realizes that average QBs will be getting well over $35 by then, and assuming he is still playing at a high level, Dak can do better at that time. The Cowboys want to lock him in for that extra year. My guess is Dallas will give in and Dak will get $35 for four years. I think it's fair. As much as the market will likely keep soaring, he also could regress, so I don't see much downside for the Cowboys to do 4 instead of 5.

    5 years ago the franchise tag for QBs was around 18.51M. If we apply that same multiple to this year's franchise tag it will be 54.29M in 2025. Obviously Dak and Co realize this and are offering 2 proposals which accomplish 2 things. 

    1) they are offering an unpalatable offer in an effort to make their other proposal (4 year deal) more appealing 

    2) they are taking into account an ever appreciating salary cap and attempting to make that 5th year more reflective of future market QB rates. 

    I think Jerry will give in on the 5th year, and he probably should. Wouldn't that be better for the "Dak Sucks" crowd? Since we can move on from him if he really does regress over the next few years?

    More info from Q poll. Bloodbath. 

     

    This poll is bullshit. His cult will never, ever, ever be less than 42%. There's literally nothing he can do to lose these people. He could shoot someone on 5th Avenue, then rape their daughters in front of them, and they'd cheer him on. That's just the fucking truth about the good ol USA these days.

    i added the emphasis. scary black man angry about being harassed seems to justify whatever for cops.

    This picture will be blown up and placed on an easel in front of the jury for closing arguments. No way those guys get convicted in Georgia. At best a series of mistrials. You can't convince me that you can get 12 people in Georgia to agree that it was murder. There will always be at least one asshole who passes the "racist" test in voir dire but will refuse to convict an ex-cop for murdering this guy. I mean, just look at him! He obviously wasn't just a guy jogging years after this photo!

    The more that comes out about this family....there's a whole lot there to unwrap already.  And I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that they didn't love her black boyfriends.

    They may very well have been "one of the good ones" so don't count that out.
