I think the only person I have ever had on ignore was Shocker54. He didn't do anything personally to me, but I just couldn't stand the racist garbage he spewed in every single post. I think he is banned now.

I don't recall Shocker being racist, he was just a troll....though I do miss him, he was at least entertaining.

Listened to Inside the Birds for the first time in a while. Seems other listeners complained to them about the same things that drove me nuts about the show; they seem to make more of an effort to not sound like pompous jackasses (they're not always successful though...).

Anyway, they were really down on Quez Watkins and adamant about investing a valuable resource (3rd rounder) in a TE2. Is this a popular opinion? We really putting the blame on Quez Watkins and Jack Stoll (and also ignoring the Eagles were terrible with arguably the best TE2 in football for the first part of 2021)? Is Jalen Hurts the new Carson Wentz where we "can't properly evaluate him" until he gets a year with a Pro Bowl squad? 

I've been mentioning this for some time now how TE2 is a need for this team.  Sure, Stoll held the position this past year but ideally, you want another weapon for your quarterback...assuming the QB can get him the ball.  When the Eagles offense, pre-Hurts was humming with Ertz and Goedert, having both on the field created mismatches.  TE is also evolving with the way these athletes are changing.  I'm looking at all of UGA's TE with serious NFL potential.

So again instead of asking your buddy to stop being an a hole you are making me responsible and accountable for his actions?

Seems it would be much simpler if he stopped being an a hole and you stopped enabling excusing and justifying his behavior 

What are you his mother 

If I were on a playground and your kid pushed one of my kids and I said I don't appreciate your kid pushing my kid would you say, well maybe just ignore my kids awful behavior or go to a different park?

As for your last sentence, interesting that you take the same stance as 4for4 when I called him out fir stalking, accuse those of which you yourself are guilty of...

Maybe I was wrong maybe you two are really the same poster, I know you'll deny it up and down but there are just way too many coincidences...

I don't see any issues with his posts.  You post nonsense you are going to get the response it deserves.

And you wanna make a bet that we are the same poster ??  I can have the mods run IP check if you would like.  I live in Spokane Washington and can prove it, he lives on the East Coast.  We are friends on twitter and have each others email address.  Seems to be a little to much work to create a clone twitter and email account to keep up this façade don't you think ??

Good god I wish Howie would trade for a QB or Kelce would retire so we can get back to discussing football instead of insurance and murder.  Once again

I mean, it couldn't be more perfect. Not they can blame Patullo leaving for Hurts struggles just like they did with Wentz when Reich left.

This is s sweet conspiracy.  Surprised it took you so long to piece it together...

You couldn't be more wrong. Wanna triple down on how wrong you are?

A comprehensive claim is a property claim.  The individual states have laws restricting the basis for cancellation or nonrenewal on property coverages. Not quite as simplistic as he suggests. @Bacarty2  If you truly want to get down in the weeds about the fallacies you spouted about cancellation and non renewal, read the following, including the case law citation footnotes from the PA statutes on cancellation and nonrenewal.

It wasn't outright racism. It was the style in which he wrote his posts. It felt like he was always trying to be funny by imitating a black person but using 80s slang to do so.

At least that is how I took it.

We're a 3WR/1TE/1RB team. We also will use more 2RBs sets next season too.

Watkins is a solid #3WR. His job is to stretch the field. He should start for the next 2 years. The problem is obvious (Reagor). Blaming Quez is just dumb.

I agree with this. because we dont "have the death penalty" lol. 

there were about 25,000 murders last year and only 11 people got executed lol. 

You make that execution number around 15,000 a year, You'll see changes. 

Maybe, the current data which was collected from other countries as well doesn't support that assertion.

I can tell you from personal experience that threat of jail or strict penalties didnt deter me from doing the things that landed me in jail 

Being threatened with those after the fact deterred me from committing more crime but I scare easily and according to the data threats of increased punishment doesn't deter people from committing future crimes after being released, though like you said the death penalty would decrease future crime from those put to death cuz it's difficult to commit future crimes when one is dead, the current data suggests that increased punishment though doesn't deter future potential criminal behavior.

There is data that supports though that when peoples needs are met and they have adequate resources that violent criminality decreases, not only from the bonobo chimp hypothesis but other recent studies like this

That’s exactly what someone who created a clone would want us to think

I guess what I mean is that I never say him say anything directly in his posts. Or maybe I blocked him by that point. 

 

Amazing improvement. Pro Bowl worthy.

I like Tyler Badie as a Scott style back. A couple later guys that aren't mentioned too often I like are Zonovan Knight, D'Vonte Price, Abram Smith. I like James Cook too but he may be a little redundant with Gainwell already here. 

I think D'Vonte Price will be a steal for someone late.

Marty Jones,

 

 

Tested positive for the Big O Omicron yesterday 🙄

Started on Sunday am when we got up to go fishing with pressure in the chest and coughing.  Fished all day and was fine.  Then, started coughing more Monday and little fever 100 degrees on Tuesday.  Woke feeling fine yesterday but figured I would take the test so I didn't infect anybody.  Again, feeling fine today.  

How long am I looking at before I get out of the freaking house?

EDIT:  I'm double vaccinated with Pfizer but no booster because I'm in Mexico and they haven't offered it yet to my age group

I can see where I may have wrote that where it came off wrong. I was trying to describe the style he was writing his posts in. I don't know a better way to describe it other then it reminds me of how some people would have made fun of a black person back in the 80s or 90s.

Looks like Doug in not getting a HC gig, should have just swallowed his pride and agreed to a new OC.

What nonsense would that be?

You know there are plenty of posters in here who post lots of stuff on here that I don't agree with including you, and sometimes I'll tell them I don't agree and Ill tell them how my view is different and try to back it up with some firm of data or research or informed opinion, which leads to discussion, notice what I don't do though is call people idiots or tell them their posts are nonsense because I don't agree with them, what I especially don't do is go and indirectly post smack about other posters to other posters and then when get called out fir it deny it.

Ironic that you'd ask me to grow a pair and yet 4for4 doesn't have the balls to confront me directly and instead feels the need on the daily to make veiled comments about me and furcsine reason defend him 

Like I said wouldn't it be much simpler for him to just stop being an A hole?

You bring up your ignore list as an example, how many times do those posters emoji your posts with smiley faces or make indirect veiled comments about you to other posters.

Seeing as you have them on ignore and I'm pretty sure one of them is banned I'm going to say never because I do see their posts and neither of them ever mention you though if they did I'd hope they had the balls to do it directly instead of hiding behind their momma.

@Bacarty2 a question for you.  If I remember correctly, when making fun of you using the Steelers angle, I thought you had said you were in your early 30's.  You have then also said you have worked in insurance for 15 years.  You have also mentioned other careers you have had.

These two things don't seem to jive.  Please elaborate.

I'm not trying to stir the pot but just curious if he portrayed himself as some hillbilly using stereotypical hillbilly slang would you feel the same?  It seemed that he was playing a "character".  What stereotypes are people "allowed" to imitate?  Seems to me that it's OK to imitate southern people, Irish people, Australian or British based solely on their accents and the way they talk.  

Are the characters that Sacha Baron Cohen racist or does he get a pass?  Have you ever heard of the comedian Russell Peters?  He's an Indian who pretty much makes a living doing stand-up comedy based off of racial stereotypes and impressions.  None of it comes off in a derogatory way IMO. 

I'm not coming at you in an argumentative way, just trying to understand.  Shocker was ridiculous, I agree 100% but I don't feel he was racist.
