That aside, I was more taken aback by the fact that they would part with so many draft picks for a QB in a weak QB class when there was SO much defensive talent in the first two rounds.

I dunno. It’s probably all bullshit, but I didn’t think so at the time. And it certainly wouldn’t surprise me if true.

That is a good point about the QB class. If Goff really was drafted simply because he’s a prettier poster boy for LA than Wentz then they deserve the worst.

Well that makes more sense explaining the crapfest but telegraphing plays is pathetic for a pro team.

Apparently they’re not.

Sometimes I think these guys don’t even know what they’re protesting. Just kinda going with whatever someone else is doing because it will elevate them to the class of rebel. I don’t know how much of this discussion is tolerated here, so I’ll just say that these numbnuts have no idea what oppression is. Women who get stoned to death for dating someone they think is cute? That’s oppression. Women prohibited from showing their faces? That’s oppression. Children brainwashed into martyring themselves? That’s oppression. African Americans led by an African American President? That’s not oppression. The Media tricking these guys into believing that there’s oppression? That’s the real crime.

Well said sir. BTW “numbnuts” is a personal favorite term of mine.

I was hoping for 8 wins this year. But, it looks like we are going to gift the Browns with a high draft choice next year.

I dunno. Fisher has always had a way of coming back after
games like this. We’ll see how they play at home. They have to win their home games.

Yes sir and that is how a team achieves a 7-9 record year in and year out.

17,000 gallons is a SMALL leak. The pipeline is not endangering water supplies. Have you ever looked at a map of pipelines traversing the continental US? There’s over 55,000 MILES of crude oil pipelines in the US. Those pipelines range in size from 8 to 24 inches in diameter. Thats just crude oil pipelines. Many more pipelines than that. You live in CT? Take a look at the NPMS site to see what pipelines run through your county.

The desperation of liberals is evident. The next president is Donald J. Trump.

As Zooey noted upthread:

This particular protest was about building a pipeline which would destroy water supplies in this particular place. While it has larger environmental ramifications, it was specific in its intentions. It wasn’t about the use of fossil fuels more broadly. It was about building a pipeline in that place, now, and the destruction of water.

There is no “hypocrisy” involved in this case, unless the protesters built pipelines elsewhere. If they have built them on someone else’s land, and this destroyed water, and they had been okay with that — as in, someone else’s water — yeah, it’s hypocritical to raise a protest when it happens to them.

But that’s not what happened. And while everyone really knows that the accusation of hypocrisy is just another lame, tired old right-wing tactic to prevent positive social, economic and environmental change, it doesn’t even remotely apply here. It never does, when launched by righties, which is why the protesters ignored the accusations, as they should.

No one’s buying it. No intelligent human being is going to care about desperate right-wing attempts to prevent critically necessary social, economic and environmental change.

Provide proof it will destroy water supplies in that area! Total BS!

Deplorable.

Cal,

Good post. The entire well entrenched establishment is going all out against Trump. That is enough reason for me to vote for Trump.

This storyline is getting old. He said show me the money and again he’s been paid. The Show Me state in me still says Show Me production worthy of a #1 pick and the latest big contract he’s signed.
