wvParticipantI watched the Mickey and Minnie Mouse show last night.
I think Hillary just won the election. And I’m as anti-Hillary as they come. It was raucous through most of the evening, but when The Donald started his rant about stamina and fortitude, I think it brought the debate to a new low.
But again, Wikileaks isn’t done yet.
—————
I didn’t watch it. I watched a very weird movie called “Lobster”
instead.It’ll be interesting to see if the polls change any now that there’s
been a ‘debate’.w
vwvParticipantThere was no running against the Rams in the 70s. They led the league in 73 and 74 with about 91 and 93 yards allowed per game respectively, and 5 TDs in 73, and 4 in 74. And they didn’t fall off from that much until 1979. I didn’t look up the 60s.

Yeah, do you remember just how utterly Futile it was for teams to try to run up the gut on LA ? It was just a ridiculous waste of a down.w
vwvParticipantthe two of them together could be unreal. comparing them to merlin and deacon? personally i can’t say cuz i never really watched those two outside nfl films clips. but at this point those two are almost mythic to me. so it’s hard for me to compare these quinn and donald to 2 seemingly deified football players.
————-
The thing about Merlin was you..could…not..run on him. Ever.
I’ve never seen anything like it before or since. I just wish there were
statistics on individual DT play. Cause if there were, Merlin’s run-stopping numbers would be off the charts. And he wasn’t that big really. 275 Lbs maybe? And he did it for fifteen years or so.w
vwvParticipantDid I tell ya I’m published (or will be soon)? The journal Clinical Laboratory Science is publishing a manuscript that I wrote. It’s titled, “The Direct Oral Anticoagulants Apixaban, Rivaroxaban and Edoxaban; Mechanism of Action and Laboratory Analysis”. And yes, it is every bit as interesting as the title suggests.

I heard Clinton wants to put anticoagulants in drone missiles and use them in the war on disobedient foreigners.And Trump sez he doesn’t even believe in anticoagulants.

vwvParticipant… impression was that HRC comes off as a mean old hag too often.
Trump comes off as kind of a dopey, moronic drunken uncle who’s pissed about how his life turned out..—————-
My impression is that she is a mean old hag and she supports policies that will contribute to the destruction of the entire Biosphere.My impression of him is he’s a dopey, moronic drunken uncle who’s pissed about how his life turned out and he supports policies that will contribute to the destruction of the entire Biosphere.
…btw, I’m wondering which nitwit-pundit will be the first to say “He (or she) “seemed presidential.”

vwvParticipantHere’s the next couple months. The only sure loss I’d say is New England. The others are all up for grabs. Could go either way.
At Cardinals
Bills
At Lions
Carolina
At Jets
Miami
At Saints
At Patriots
Atlantaw
vwvParticipantSomeone noted that Quinn now has 18 forced fumbles, and thats the most of any NFL player during that time period. (and he missed half the season last yr)
It is so much fun to see Q and A playing together
on that DLine. We may not see anything like that duo again for a long time.Have the Rams had a DT-DE combo that good since Deacon/Merlin ?

wvParticipantTrumaine Johnson has been a disappointment so far. I don’t know what all the statistics say, but to my eyes he just isn’t as good as last year, and I would hazard that is because he doesn’t have Jenkins on the other side. I hope Gaines can come back and put a lid on somebody.
And I want more sacks. Where are my sacks?
———–
True, but Evans is awfully hard to stop. I think he got a million yards last time they played too, didnt he.
w
vwvParticipantTo me, they looked like a wildcard-level team Sunday. Think about the wildcard-level teams from the past few years. They have all been flawed, and they all won games like this one.
Also, think about how important QUINNs play is. This week and last week.
(he played terrible in week one)Last year Quinn was not a factor. This year, he’s back.
Quinn and Donald together change this team into something
that approaches wildcard level. Just by themselves.w
vSeptember 26, 2016 at 9:27 am in reply to: Why It’s So Hard to Talk to White People About Racism #53874wvParticipantWell, i agree with all that. The author is a little wordy, but i share that view.
w
vwvParticipantRams won a brutal low-scoring game,
and now a shoot-out.Maybe this is gonna be an opportunistic, scrappy, ornery
team that will ‘find a way’ to win. We’ll see.I’m just looking for improvement week to week. Obviously,
the offense showed some improvement this week.w
vwvParticipantI’m thinking of giving out plastic dinosaurs as well as candy this year.
w
vPlastic dinosaurs?
Awesome.
Back when I was trick-or-treating your house would have been spared an egging or soaping for giving out plastic dinosaurs.
As long as I got a good one that is…like a T. rex or Triceratops.
If you gave me an Iguanodon or some other wimpy hadrosaur, you’d be pulling toilet paper out of your trees for a month.
————-
Well, i collect them all year long at the yard-sales and thrift stores i go to every week. Usually i can get a ‘bag of dinosaurs’ every so often for a dollar. Etc. I also have a bag of ‘super heroe’s and a bag of plastic football helmets — though, no-one is getting the Ram helmet. I’m keeping that one.
w
vwvParticipantI wonder why they picked yellow as the color.
Why not a rainbow line. Or Teal. Beige maybe.

Tom Bevan: These Five States Make Up Hillary Clinton’s New “Firewall”On Date September 22, 2016
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2016/09
….”The situation is this,” he continued. “Trump has moved ahead in North Carolina, Ohio and Iowa, and he is dead tied with Hillary Clinton in Florida. Even if you give all those states to him, he is still short in the Electoral College. The other five competitive states: Virginia, Pennsylvania, Colorado, Wisconsin, New Hampshire. We’ve got some data in showing that in those states Hillary Clinton’s lead is anywhere from five to nine points. So that is kind of her firewall, and unless Trump can breach that firewall, win one of those states, he is going to come up short on election day.”
wvParticipantI’m really hoping for this story-line — All these Non-brady-QBs win their games. And the Pats go 4-0 without Brady.
And then Brady comes in, and they lose 12 in a row.
That would please me.

vwvParticipanthttp://www.tampabay.com/sports/football/bucs/the-rams-and-bucs-are-the-nfls-most-boring-teams-heres-the-proof/2294922
Rams are most boring team of the decade.I enjoyed this article, immensely. Dunno why.
I know some folks dont see the Rams offense as ‘boring’ — they see it as young, or injured, etc. But my brain sees those things, and still goes right to BORING, as well.
Good lord, have they been BORING.
w
vwvParticipantCall me crazy but i think spruce will help,
right off the bat. I think his skill set is much-needed,
and i think they can plug him in and get some third down conversions.I dunno what they have in Cooper.
Sometimes i think my biggest criticism of Snisher is their lack of
interest in getting a good solid VETERAN WR. Heck, i would have signed Anquan Boldin, if i had been Snisher.w
vwvParticipantjust last Tuesday, I was thumbing through my Twitter feed shortly after my beloved Giants blew yet ANOTHER FUCKING SAVE opportunity, Vinnie Tweeted, “The Giants are driven to their knees again by the bullpen” ….. I thought to myself “FUCK YOU VIN SCULLY, you’re still great”…..
————
Well, nothing reflects respect like, “FUCK YOU VIN SCULLY, you’re still great.”
I like it.
Good work, Joe.
w
vwvParticipantBut i was just about to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt
that Vin Scully was behind 9/11w
vwvParticipant, ignorance is fertile soil for our doom.
Ahh, something, the left and the right, can agree on.
w
vwvParticipantWell, he wouldn’t be open-and-honest, so there’d be no point
in asking him anything.But if i could waterboard him, I’d ask him all about Fisher.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipant—————
Yeah, those kind of Vids/articles send all kinds of thots/feelings
streaming through my brain. So many layers of ‘things’ are implicated.Corporate-Capitalism can reflect poignantly-infuriating stuff. And infuriatingly-poignant stuff….. sigh
And remember the stat that showed about 20 percent of Trump supporters thought Slavery was still a good idea or something like that. Forget that they are Trump supporters, just think about the fact that, that many citizens think that way. Thats a LOT of Americans thinking some hideously mean stuff. How did they get left so far…behind..in so many ways?
I’m just grateful when my brain fills up with this stuff, i can click a button and watch shark videos. Did you know 20 percent of sharks surveyed prefer eating Republicans…

I didnt know Vin was retiring.

vwvParticipantThe state level is much closer to the people. That cannot be denied.
———–
In wv the state-gov is owned and operated by ‘Big-private-sector’. Big Coal, Big Fracking, Big Pharma (Mylan), and a few others.So, it may be closer ‘in theory’ but in reality the rich-folks run things at all levels. Fed, State, County, City. Its always been that way in the real world.
I would love to see America be a country where small businesses had equal influence with the big-private-sector-monstrosities, bnw. It woulda been nice if it had turned out that way. Making the Big-Government smaller wont save us. Cause it will not kill Big-Private-Sector. If you only kill half the problem, the ‘other’ half will just grow even more powerful and deadly. This is my fundamental problem with rightwingers. They only see half the problem. And thus their solution will lead to even worse corporate-monsters.

w
vwvParticipantedit: heres the list of starting QBs, btw. Where would we rank Keenum?
Well I think of it this way. He’s not a starting qb. Or, not starting caliber. So to me the question is, is he better than Shaun Hill or Chad Henne? If so by how much?
———
Yeah, ok. I think he’s a ‘little’ better than Shawn Hill.
At any rate, he’s the best they have right now, at this juncture.
Do you think Goff will start this season?
I do.
w
vwvParticipantwvParticipantI would pee myself…
