  1. Unless and until they amend the wording of the rules or give a specific interpretation in the future to cover this, they didn’t miss anything-given that he didn’t actually slide, it’s difficult to argue he “obviously began” one. His play was within the rules, and he knew what he was doing-that’s the definition of outsmarting them.
  2. Lashing out in frustration because you were outsmarted sounds pretty soft to me. And advocating hits that risk penalty or even ejection just to send some sort of message just doubles down on stupid. But I’m sure they’d appreciate the free yards. And it’s Michigan State.
  3. In the situation on this play, obviously not. If he’s actually sliding, I’d thank them for the extra 15 yards. The irony of so many crying internet tears and calling it “pussy, bitch, bush league” is pretty fantastic. Seems to me that those complaining about a heady play are the soft ones.
  4. It was awesome. Zero issue with it.
  5. In the last month, they beat a .500 LSU team by 6, outscored an Arkansas team they could not stop to win by a TD, and were an Auburn RB staying in bounds away from a loss. They’re hardly the “usual monster.”
  6. Nah. Pitt looks great now that they’ve gone back to their classic look. And I’d argue this looks better than anything Oregon has rolled out in the last 20 years.
  7. You know what’s not cute? The proliferation of using cute, adorable, etc. in a patronizing manner. I literally (not figuratively, I mean it) roll my eyes almost every time I encounter it now. It’s a plague on this board. (Nothing personal DDD, I guess I’m just in the Festivus spirit and airing grievances. Oh and in before the obligatory “it’s cute that you think that” responses.)
  8. Yeah, this line of thought stuck out from Justice Sotomayor’s questioning to me. You can argue this question on purely philosophical grounds, as the numerous books on the subject demonstrate. Whether someone finds those arguments compelling is a different matter, but it’s curious to act as if they simply don’t exist.
  9. No buts. They’re still bad.
  10. Georgia is going to win by double digits and make all this moot.
  11. Lots of posts that sound like the came from the committee. Whatever ad hoc criteria we can cobble together to choose name brands this week, actual results notwithstanding, right?
  12. Who thinks that? It’s the other way around.
  13. This place frequently reminds me how disconnected I must be from most of the online world. I had no idea what all this “reeee” back and forth was about, had to look it up.
  14. What’s wrong is the other guy is always trolling. I’m just righteously indignant.
  15. It’s almost the same as the percentage of the population who attend church on a regular basis. I imagine it’s mostly split along those lines rather than 60% of churchgoers.
  16. So about tree fiddy?
  17. Other than Blake Snell, I think this is the first full season where the winners didn’t throw 200+.
  18. Prison time? Apparently you deserve the death penalty.
  19. That’s more Gen Z you’re describing.
  20. Denying you’re a millennial is so millennial. I was born the same year. Have the same experiences. We’re millennials. Just accept it.
  21. Those guys aren’t really upgrades over anything already on the roster.

    So much emoting.

    If you say so. I do. You’re reading that backwards, and your follow up conversation with him should have cleared up the confusion you have.
