    I wonder how many nazis were as tedious as as daggerhorn in their justifications. "They grabbed that child on his way to school, not at school, before sending him to the concentration camp" is some of the lamest sophistry I've ever seen. 

    As is "the part of the school campus that is outside is not the school."

    “PICO RIVERA, Calif. -- A southern California school district released video that allegedly shows United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agents urinating at a school campus in Pico Rivera.”

    Can you read? It says ‘at’ in the first paragraph of the article. No one made it inside the school. They still have not entered a school. Jesus Christ….grip those semantics a little harder to justify your stupidity.

    The incident happened the morning of June 17. The school district says that 10 marked and unmarked cars with federal agents pulled into Salazar High School. Campus cameras captured some of those agents urinating on school grounds, school district leaders said.

    As official football practice begins on Monday, three downtown Los Angeles head coaches — Guevara, Roybal’s Michael Galvan and Belmont’s Kenneth Daniels — have been in constant communication and united to help their players and parents deal with ICE raids. No one knows when the raids might subside or how the ongoing anxiety might affect teams this fall.

    One of the first raids happened outside an elementary school across the street from Contreras. A 17-year-old Contreras cross-country and track athlete, Nory Santoy Ramos, was detained and later deported to Guatemala with her mother after showing up for an immigration appointment. Families in the area rely on afterschool programs that are facing budget cuts. Students continue to deal with issues involving homelessness, gangs and drug use at nearby MacArthur Park.

    The Times has confirmed U.S. citizens are among those who have been detained during immigration raids in Southern California that have continued for more than six weeks. More than 2,700 people have been arrested during the raids and more than two-thirds of those detained had never previously been convicted of a crime.

    Galvan said he’s had players miss practices to go shopping for family members who feel they have to stay home. Others had medical appointments delayed because parents didn’t want to leave their homes.

    “In all of my 25 years of teaching in the area, I’ve never experienced anything like this,” he said. “You just don’t know. It’s hard to explain. How do we get through one day? ... We’re taking it day by day.”

    The Garfield-Roosevelt game, known as the East L.A. Classic, draws the largest L.A. high school football attendance each year. It’s scheduled for Oct. 24 at a site to be determined and officials want to make sure fans attending feel safe, so a decision on the site and security arrangements in light of continuing ICE raids are being taken into consideration along with budget.

    Hey, gotta break a few (brown) eggs to make an omelette, amirite DT?

    I love the game so far. I think it is way better than 25. The gameplay is smooth and the player animations are pretty sick. I love the different "identities" (whatever they are called I cant remember) each player can have. A "Gadget" guy can play QB/CB/etc. if needed. Stuff like that is really cool. I also love the addition of some small but big things like an actual list of National Championship winners, award winners, etc. The transfer portal while tough, is actually fairly realistic. Dudes leave no matter what, but, it usually is pretty easy to get new guys in. I lost 15 guys one year, brought in about 12 from the portal. Takes some getting used to. I also think the stats are better. To be fair, I almost NEVER play online. I am an old school dude who plays a dynasty by myself. I skip a LOT of games just to do it. The stats just look better than last year's game. More realistic IMO. 

    Not to be Mr. Johnny Sunshine, some of the things I still hate: a lot of black kickers. White CBs. The faces/hairstyles on some of the guys are HORRIBLE. That is small, but it bothers me. At least let us change it. Recruting it harder, which I kinda like. Keeps me on my toes. I still haven't figured out the best way to do it, but I do know that if you go heavy after guys late who haven't signed, they most likely will sign with you. 

    again, I am sure there will be more updates, but I really like it so far. 

    I think the gameplay is pretty fucking great. Some issues with run blocking and faulty animations, but overall, not a ton of complaints.

    Here are the issues that I'm having in offline dynasty. Most of these issues were not present in the games from 02-14, so no idea why they can't figure this out:

    - Imbalance home/away schedules. 5 straight home games to start the season? Followed by 7 straight away games? No thanks.

    -Rankings. My team is 7-0 with wins over multiple top 15 teams, but I'm ranked #18 with multiple 3-4 loss teams ranked ahead of me. Including 2 teams that I've defeated.

    -Dealbreakers. Ramped up way to high. Everyone wants to transfer. Even starters who have "playing time" as their dealbreaker. Lower ranked teams are having 20 transfers every year, and with their poor recruiting classes, are having to fill with walk-ons in later seasons.
