wvParticipantwvParticipantFrankly, i just dont care about the ‘logo’. I care about the Helmets.
I also dunno why teams only have one logo. I would have more than one. I think I’d like to see a silhouette of the Fearsome Foursome. Ya know, like the NBA has that silhouette of Jerry West. Do one of the fearsome foursome.
I also think Leftist Ram fans should have a logo.
Maybe Karl Marx with horns.w
vFebruary 8, 2020 at 12:23 pm in reply to: “Rams to meet with Todd Gurley to discuss 2020 status” #111097wvParticipantNo-one is trading for him. He’s got arthritic knees. He’ll be a Ram next year, and it’ll look a lot like it did this year. Which aint good.
And as for this: “…A very expensive decision they have but considering what he played through, how much pain in the knee and how much of a focus has been on him, you can certainly understand why at least all options are on the table here…”
Um….what reporter ever actually wrote ‘anything’ about how much knee-pain he was ‘playing through.’ ?
w
vThe reporter assumes an arthritic knee is painful. He’s also assuming the pain was “strong” given the lack of carries this year compared to the previous years and the fact that he most certainly didn’t look like the same player as before. Neither of these assumptions are invalid. Ask any person who has arthritis following a serious surgery.
==============
Well, i wasnt really clear with what i was expressing. I have no doubt he was playing in pain and was going thru a lot, etc. But what annoys me is no-one was WRITING about it AT THE TIME. Where was the press AT THE TIME? They were all blaming McVay for not using him more, or they were all acting like it was this great MYSTERY as to what was goin on with Gurley, etc.
NOW, the press comes along and lo and behold they wanna talk about how Gurley should take a pay cut or whatever because he HAS A BAD KNEE. Where were they all season? Yeah. Duh. He played in pain, with a bad knee. No big Mystery.
I’m annoyed at the PRESS, not at Gurley.
….although….i HAVE wondered if Gurley knew about his knee BEFORE he signed that big contract. Did he have an obligation to be open about it, IF he knew?

vFebruary 8, 2020 at 12:14 pm in reply to: Russell Wilson calling out Seahawks on their offense #111096wvParticipantI dunno. Very interesting debate/conversation, really. Its a league-wide thing, not just a Seahawk thing. And it recurs over and over.
Pete came within a hair of winning Two rings with that Run first offense. He’s had many many playoff teams with that offense. Why change it? Why not just draft another great RB and play the same style?
OTOH, Russell is a very bright man. Maybe he knows what he’s talkin about. Maybe its not just QB-ego talkin.
You can trace this kinda discussion back many years. Back in the day, A lot of teams wanted to copy the GSOT and be more ‘exciting’ and fan-friendly.
But then the Bucs and Ravens won big with Big-Bad-Defense, and a lot of that talk went away.
Many paths to the mountaintop. Hard to say if the Seahawks are more suited to a Ground-first attack or somethin else.

vFebruary 8, 2020 at 12:06 pm in reply to: the one-shot tweets thread (diff'rent stuff, funny angry interesting) #111095February 8, 2020 at 9:56 am in reply to: “Rams to meet with Todd Gurley to discuss 2020 status” #111088wvParticipantwvParticipantBilly: It’s not that “they” are angry over people getting health care or student debt relief. It’s that they “believe” they will have to pay for it-either in tax increases or in losing their own private doctors and care. It doesn’t matter that they may or may not be right but that is how the Trump machine will force them to look at it-his way. I keep harping back to Kennedy’s innauguration
Throughout this thread, W, you keep wringing your hands over how OTHER people will perceive it.
Take a stance.
And work to make people understand it.
==================
Well when W is talking about THE VOTERS, I think his stance is that Bernie is UNelectable, Because a critical mass of voters are too conservative to vote for him.
I’m not sure he’s ever made it clear what HE

thinks of Bernie.

vwvParticipantGiven ‘that’ ugly situation, I think Sanders is a prime candidate to lose his life to a Lone Wolf.
================
Well perhaps then, our DNC-Reptile-Overlords are looking for a way to have Joe Biden be Bernies VICE-Prezidential running mate.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantCourse Trump winning and Bernie Winning are totally different situations.
I mean, Trump really wasnt that out of step with Reps or Corporate-Dems. I mean not really. They were for Deregulation and he went wild with it. He wasnt qualitatively different in my view. Just more extreme. Trump and the Rep/Dems were basically ‘going in the same direction’ — Trump just ramped things up.
Bernie otoh, if he were to somehow get himself elected — would be trying to steer the corporate-vehicle in a completely DIFFERENT direction. He’d be opposed by the Reps AND Dems. WTF would a Bernie presidency even look like, given ‘that’ ugly situation?

vwvParticipantTrumps approval rating went up a bit, perhaps.
wvParticipant“…if you vote republican, white people are gonna burn this shit to the ground…”
wvParticipant“black people dont get to believe in police brutality…”
wvParticipantwvParticipantTucker mentioned that Bernie would eliminate Fracking by exec order…..guess which voters would LOVE that….the deplorable WV COAL miners. The miners hate the frackers.
wvParticipant… But in reading these comments about Trump, the Dems, and the upcoming election, I can only think of one thing: Nikita Khrushchev may have been right. The socialists will bury us….
=======================
If ONLY.
That would be a dream come true for me. 🙂
Mega-Global-Gangster-Corporate-Capitalism is destroying the entire Bio-Sphere….and you are worried about…what?….a National Health Care system that would allow poor people to get the same health wealthy people get?

vwvParticipantKyle sees some ‘foul play’ as well as incompetence. I dont see any foul play, but who knows.
wvParticipantYeah, Zooey, I dont think there were any dark motives either. It smelled like yer basic clusterfuck based on incompetence to me. I’ve seen similar things locally.
Like, here in WV, we have some old-timey-good-ole-boy-rednecks who run the political machines. A lot of times they know NOTHING about computers or hi-tech stuff. But they are in charge of elections. And they are constantly pressured to “join the computer age”. Or whatever age we are in now.So they decide to hire some hi-tech company to handle the elections. And often the blind are hiring the…corporate-weasel-hi-tech-election-company. And oftentimes its a disaster.
The hi-tech companies dont lose money after the disasters. They make more money. Cuz they are the only ones who can fix the clusterfuck.
Blah blah, blah, corporotacracy, not conspiracy.w
vwvParticipantA bit on Buddachex. I started it at the 16 min mark:
wvParticipantSo with about 96 percent in, i saw Bernie had 11 delegates, Budda-butt had 11, and Biden had ZERO.
Does it mean anything at all? What does Iowa mean?
w
vwvParticipantThe strange link between Cosmo magazine and all the pop songs youve ever heard:
wvParticipantOf course if he’s the nominee I’ll vote for him too. What I’m saying is :if Sanders is the nominee Trump is going to get all the deplorable ignorants out of their beds, into their trucks, and down from the hills into the voting booths-and then we have a genuine monarchy.
=======================
Well, Joe Rogan appeals to many, many, of those ‘deplorables.’ You know who Rogan is, right? And Rogan said he’s probly voting for Bernie.
Bernie might just appeal to a sliver of Trump voters. Just enough, maybe. Just enough.
What do i know, though. Everything is in flux, now. Anything could happen.
I’m just an ignorant man, who watches surf videos.w

“I know not how I may seem to others, but to myself I am but a small child wandering upon the vast shores of knowledge, every now and then finding a small bright pebble to content myself with.” ― PlatowvParticipantThe Chiefs D surprised me this year. I thought it would be business as usual with their D. But they played solid D when it counted this year.
Mahomes is such a mega-star, everything else gets overshadowed. But that team was a complete-team.
I’m still not sure they’d have beaten the Ravens, though. 🙂
w
vwvParticipantIf Bernie is the nominee, I’ll vote for Bernie.
If a DNC-typical-Dem is the nominee, I’ll vote Green Party, again.I’m just never voting for another biosphere-destroyer, W.
What I’ll be curious to see, is this — If Bernie loses again, is the ‘progressive movement’ essentially over?
I cant see anyone else in the Dem Party picking up the baton and running with it the way Bernie did. I dont think AOC would be taken as seriously as Bernie. I dont see anyone else out there who could do what Bernie has done.w

wvParticipantI figured he would come back one more year.
He’s still purty good, when healthy. Not elite but certainly ‘solid.’
Its huge, really. The Whitworth factor is huge. Can he stay healthy?
What do they absolutely have to have now, on the Oline? A new Guard? Two new guards? No new guards? A center? What do they need?
w
vwvParticipantHe’s running a strong campaign, and may well take the first three primaries.
I noticed a recent shift in Dem propaganda via the MSM. It seemed that, for a wee bit of time, they were trying to play nice with Bernie. But now that he looks like he may actually win the nom, they’re freaking out and openly saying Dems are freaking out.
One of those ex-Republican talking heads (on MSNBC) said today that Americans would rather vote for a sociopath (Trump) than a socialist. I just wish someone would speak up for the socialist tradition, for once, in public, cuz it’s not hard at all to shred that nonsense.
Please, someone just let the audience know that MLK, Gandhi, Einstein, Orwell, Camus, the Dalai Lama, Dorothy Day, Helen Keller, Emma Lazarus, Kafka and Bertrand Russell (just for starters) . . . were all lifelong socialists. Follow up the tellin’ by asking the audience, “Wouldn’t you vote for them over Trump?” And, “Do these great men and women scare you?”
======================
Well if Bernie wins a primary or two, its gonna get Super-Ugly.
Did you see the Chris Matthews (gag me) vid in another thread. zn posted it. Matthews almost looks like he’s going to cry. He talked about the Nixon vs McGovern thing. I think a LOT of ‘centrist dems’ are just pro-corporate-capitalists. But some of them ‘centrists’ are somethin a bit different. Some of em just dont think a progressive can win. They think of themselves as ‘pragmatists’ or ‘realists.’ A LOT of them were forever scarred by the McGovern thing, i think. Maybe. In a way it makes perfect sense — the American people usually DONT vote for progressive folks. They…just…dont. Usually.
w
vwvParticipantA lot of pundits are using the word Dynasty, now. The Chiefs are gonna be a ‘dynasty.’
Heck I wouldnt even favor the Chiefs over the Ravens if they played next week.
The odds are always against ‘dynasties’ in the NFL.

vwvParticipantRon Borges@RonBorges
Here’s a weird fact. Rams’ team that won only 1 SB (by an inch btw) and lost to Pats in 2001 now has 5 players off it in the Hall while NE dynasty that won 3 SBs in 4 years has only one., Ty Law.
