LeanMeanGM Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Just now, Alphagrand said: Interesting that Hurts has thrown for 300+ yards in 4 of his 19 career starts, and his record in those games is 0-4 The two games referenced of 300 and 60, both in 2020, he was 24/44 (55%) and 21/39 (54%), so neither of those games were much to write home about. One thing to be optimistic about is the two games of 300+ yards in 2021 Hurts was 25/39 (64%) and 32/48 (67%) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a balance of not saying too much but being entertaining and informative. As a player, he could read the game well, so unless he has Ronde Barber levels of charmlessness, makes sense to give him a go. If good, he can go to TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the first, I think it's pretty obvious if you need Hurts to throw 300+ yards you are likely losing the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good splash for PR but realistically he's a futures contract for next season now. Agree, an easy cut once Jurgens is signed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edelman was Brady's bum-buddy, and Brady made sure Garoppolo was shipped out because he was a threat. Not a surprise that Edelman doesn't like Jimmy G.

RememberTheKoy Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 1 hour ago, TorontoEagle said: https://www.npr.org/2017/10/02/555170250/what-is-and-isnt-considered-domestic-terrorism The Patriot Act defines domestic terrorism as an attempt to "intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination, or kidnapping." The second important point is that there isn't a federal charge of "domestic terrorism." The Patriot Act's definition gives the Justice Department broad authority to investigate an individual or any group a suspect might be affiliated with. But the federal law doesn't come with an actual criminal charge. To be charged with terrorism, a person has to be suspected of acting on behalf of one of nearly 60 groups that the State Department has declared a foreign terrorist organization. Some are well-known, including the Islamic State and al-Qaida, while others are far more obscure. Most, but not all, are Islamist. A person who carries out a mass attack and survives can face a range of charges, but unless the person is linked to one of the banned groups, a federal terrorism charge won't be one of them. Consider the following cases, all of which prompted discussions of domestic terrorism: -- Suspect James Alex Fields is accused of driving his car into a crowd in Charlottesville, Va., in August, killing a female counterprotester who came out to march against white nationalists. Fields faces state murder charges — but not terrorism. -- Dylann Roof has been convicted of and sentenced to death for a host of federal and state crimes in the shooting deaths of nine African-Americans at a Charleston, S.C., church in 2015. He said he wanted to start a race war. But terrorism wasn't among the many charges. -- Timothy McVeigh was widely described as carrying out the worst act of domestic terrorism when he killed 168 people in a 1995 bombing of a federal building in Oklahoma City. By his own admission, his motive was clearly political — he hated the federal government. Yet he was convicted of and put to death for killing federal officers and variety of other charges — but not for terrorism. Patriot Act one of the worst things to happen to this country. Basically legalized spying on all US citizens by the government. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I felt I was not, I left. They’re not all crooks, particularly the insurance guys. That said, I highly recommend the movie Used Cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one and only thing I believe I have ever fronted @austinfan on was his habit of data dumps, all of which are more in depth than this. I have disagreed with him many times but he is always civil and never stupid, even when he was apparently stupid. He has reason, whether you or I or anyone agrees with it. Often I don’t. But… I apologize to @austinfan for calling him a pillar. I gather from some IMs that there is/are those who find the term absurd. I stand by my comment but request that pillar-related insults be directed at me, where I hide behind an Ignore wall. We go back 20 years or so, he and I and some others, and we built something of value to us. Evidently what we strove for has gotten lost for many, but not for me. Consider P Diddy, much maligned of late herein. Like him or not, he’s been a major force in Eagles history and analysis. He’s not a hot takes guy, which seems the way to go if you want to be pillar among reporters and foolish fools herein. The difference is that the macho guys like Seth defer to him but the internet tough guys herein degrade him. I seem to be listing grievances. I apologize. There are some posters so repellant I cannot abide them but I wish to say to the rest of the world that they are ugly, rude, repellant, and not worth our time.

austinfan Posted June 27, 2022 Share Posted June 27, 2022 Not guilty does not mean innocent in American law. Not guilty means a jury of your peers (or a judge), after vetting by lawyers, couldn't agree that you were guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Which is why so often the perp is then sued in civil court after being found not guilty, where you need only a preponderance of the evidence to win (more likely than not).
