    He's not wrong

    Bullshit. I think Draymond is a fucking douchebag and I look forward to the day he's not in the NBA anymore but he has done absolutely nothing worth of a mention since his suspension. Nurkic tried to get in Green's head, failed, and then whined like a child afterwards.

    My momma would always make me go get the chainsaw. Then she'd watch over while I started it up, checked the oil, made sure the choke was on, try it again, have it start for a few seconds and then sputter out. Once it was started and warmed up, she would cut off my legs. Stern, but I learned my lesson.

     

    I had to get up in the morning at ten o'clock at night, half an hour before I went to bed, drink a cup of sulphuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day down mill, and pay mill owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our Dad and our mother would kill us, and dance about on our graves singing 'Hallelujah.

    Absolutely. No need to involve anyone else.  DM me your address and we can chat about it.

    No need to hop over to SSS, I got some footage from the Starbucks and ID'ed his license plate.

    That license plate is like a rash all over the computer. The car belongs to a known traffic menace. His name is @Eastwood.  He's got a record a mile long.  And he's a Teacher. The address? 1060 West Addison.

    There are many more factors at play than just the expected conversion percentage. The overall game situation affects the usefulness of the "analytics". In the middle of the 3rd quarter Campbell had the chance to create a three score lead by taking a FG, which would have negated the 49ers FG on the opening drive of the 2nd half. That is a no brainer and his decision to go for it is indefensible. Period. 

    The "analytics" say to go for it on 4th and goal at the one yard line. But if there are 10 seconds left in a tie game is that the smart move? 

    Getting too caught up in being aggressive and a willingness to take risks got in the way of a proper coaching decision. 

    If you want to redefine "analytics" to "I made this up to argue against" then you are absolutely correct. Of course, actual analytics takes things like score and win probability increase (which incorporates time left in the game). This is not to say that any system should be fully relied on of course, as it doesn't know relative strengths of specific teams or health of specific players. But if you think any analytics systems says to go for it on 4th and goal with ten seconds left in a tie game, well, let's just say you may may be a perfect fit for the A&M AD position.

    Lies.  That 100 year old bridge laughed at my RV.  Maybe a tiny little chip in those old iron hang down rails.  

    Oh shit, when CTJ hears you posted in CR again...

    It's disgusting beyond all words, but let's please be more careful about tweets. This one's misleading in that it implies the case was in Texas with the mention of Abbott. It was not - although I wouldn't be surprised if there were cases like this here.

    But this happened in Michigan.

    It's also a bureaucratic fuckup rather than anything to do with abortion or intentional cruelty. The rapist was automatically granted joint custody when the victim listed as name as father while applying for benefits. A fuckup to be sure, and one that shouldn't happen (I have no idea if the process has changed) but he didn't apply for any custody and the the custody was quickly rescinded when his crimes were shown to the judge.

    Shitty reporting and click-bait is not unique to the Newsmax's of the world unfortunately.

    I'm not sure which rule of acquisition applies to spending $120 million in Iowa, but I think he got it wrong.  

    I would go with #109 - "Dignity and an empty sack is worth the sack.". And I think he got it just right, except for that pesky dignity part.

    I get why it's on the list and it makes sense to be on it, but a bit funny to see an earthquake on a list of weather-related games. I missed that day in meteorology school.

    Not gonna lie, this thread is more enjoyable than the usual Cowboys game thread, which is approximately 87% bitching about refs.

    Holy shit @Zeus has 87% of the posts in a typical Cowboys thread?

    What cracks me up about that poll is fucking Steve Garvey.  75 year old serial philanderer whose children repeatedly sought legal protection to never have to see him again, just get money from him because he's a complete piece of shit.  I admit, I've voted for a celebrity or two in my time at the ballot box, but fucking Steve Garvey?  GQP'ers on the football board bemoaning some dude that fathered three kids out of wedlock, Garvey has at least 5 that he's admitted to, lord knows how many more.  I don't give a shit if Steve knocks up 50 women, so long as he provides for the children and nice to the mom.  But you know if elected, first thing he's gonna do is take out all those decades of frustration with mistressses, ex-wives, and daughters on American Women with some draconian ass shit.  Were Ron Cey or Steve Sax just booked up this Senate cycle out there or what? 

    I think that 19% of Californians are near-sighted and think they're voting for the Family Feud host. Would be great to see him in the Senate, not gonna lie.

    They wouldnt come out and say that. lol. They would just silently do it. But like I said, our opponent doesnt matter because FSU is likely in and we will have to play both Michigan and Washington. 

    They would have to. Otherwise the "new" #1 is still going to say they were screwed. it causes more problems than it solves. I think we are in agreement that FSU should be #4 (assuming they are in) and manufacturing any way to have them at #3 is more convoluted than the committee just saying "based on combination of record, H2H, and current strength".

  12. 1 minute ago, The_Great_Hornsby said:

    They can always just swap Washington and Michigan at 1 and 2 if they are that worried about the top seed getting a "bye"

    I thought about that but then that's even messier because the committee has to publicly say "we think Michigan is the real #1 but we felt forced to have FSU as #3 and didn't want to penalize Michigan, so we also swapped Michigan and Washington". 

    It's much cleaner to just have FSU at #4 which accomplishes the same thing without unnecessary #1 / #2 swaps.

    Texas is a better team than FSU full stop including the loss. You can jump them. If it’s a Texas FSU debate Texas is in over FSU 10/10 times. It’s the bama FSU debate that is raging. 

    This. I don't see any way the committee has FSU in at #3. They/bama are at #4. Putting FSU in a #3 is a real screw job to the #1 seed and I just can't see the committee doing that.

    It’s simple. If committee wants to send an OOC games matter message Texas and Alabama are in. If they want to send a schedule all the cupcakes message they will put in FSU and Texas (or bama).

    best 4 teams include Texas and Bama. 

    This makes no sense. If the committee wants to send a message about OOC games then it's Texas and FSU. FSU won OOC games against both Florida and LSU. Texas won OOC game against Alabama. I am not sure if you are aware of this, but Alabama lost their big OOC game. You shouldn't get credit for a big OOC game if you lose at home by double digits.

    I do obviously agree that Alabama is better than FSU w/o Travis but it's not because OOC games matter.
