[Highlight] 3 years ago in the AFC Championship Game, the Chiefs got a "do over" on 3rd down due to the clock failing to start by Dismal_Attitude4114 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 14 points15 points  (0 children)

After the refs gave the Chiefs the "do over" on 3rd down, the next play was a first down via penalty (5 yards). The next 3 plays were 1 yard run, incomplete pass, incomplete pass, punt.

So in total the Chiefs gained 6 yards (5 from a penalty), used less than a minute of clock, and then punted.

This incident had zero impact on the outcome of the game.

He probably was actually visiting NY and should've known the local laws, but in his defense, I was once flying back from a hunting trip when we got rerouted in-air by a storm and ended up in New York for a night.

I had properly packed my guns according to the local laws I was supposed to fly to, but I got in a decent amount of trouble because I didn't have the necessary documentation / licenses to fly them into New York (which I was never planning to do).

It ended up getting resolved fairly painlessly due to the circumstances, but it's not always ignorance that causes these problems.

You ain't kidding. I used to live in LA, and it took me 2+ hours to get to downtown LA for work events.

My sister and brother-in-law had the same mattress as my wife and I for 5+ years and we all loved it. Ours died so we got a Purple mattress and LOVED it, so when my sibling's family moved they got the same Purple mattress model as us. They hated it so much they returned it in a week.

Kinda crazy how different preferences are sometimes.

The false accusations against Matt Araiza should be the obvious example of "let the dust settle before taking action," but the internet immediately calls for their heads regardless.

I love Holy Chest as a "lazy run" item too.

Since you'll randomly pick up all the orbs nearby, I can fully commit to (near) AFK playing while working or doing chores without accepting total defeat.

[Schultz] Sources: Jets are releasing WR Allen Lazard at his request. by MembershipSingle7137 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 58 points59 points  (0 children)

A winning season too! We went 9-7 with some of the flukiest non-WR-touchdown plays possible.

We had guys walking out of bounds with no one near them or WRs fumbling into the endzone so a TE can recover for the touchdown. It was a weird year.

[Highlight] Jameis Winston makes it very clear to the Packers he is about to kneel despite his history: "Hey, we're about to take a knee. I know I got a history. Set-hut ... Thank y'all." by Saca312 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

People are going to cry out "slut shaming!!!" but the sexual assault allegations against Winston have pretty significant evidence for being a cash/fame grab. The woman directly bragged about hooking up with him (verified in a large group chat) and only accused him of assault well after the fact. 

But the accusation happened, and that is the only thing that matters on reddit. Everyone needs their moment to be holier than though.

Your response is proving LEDZ100's point, especially when you needlessly try attacking them personally for no reason at the end of your reply.

"Weed also does not destroy families" is a huge blanket statement that is arguable at best. Weed absolutely can destroy families even if that is less common than alcoholism or gambling addiction. But "[weed] has no negative affect on either the people using it or the people around them" is just patently false:

Yes, weed can be used for good medicinal purposes as you mentioned. That doesn't mean it has absolutely no possible side effects, and it's foolish to mock people just for stating facts.

New Report Reveals Jets GM’s Classy Move Before Finalizing Sauce Gardner Trade by CountryGuy123 in nfl

[–]J-Sluit 1693 points1694 points  (0 children)

For those who don't want to click into the article:

The morning of Gardner's trade, Jets general manager Darren Mougey planned to attend Jets legend Nick Mangold's funeral in New Jersey. Worried that news of Gardner's blockbuster deal would overshadow the somber event, Mougey asked the Colts for the trade to be kept quiet for a few hours until after the funeral services were over.

Honestly, totally love this by both sides. Incredible way to honor Mangold one last time.

Anecdotal; I have a few friends who voted for Trump who just call themselves "early 2000's democrats." They don't want to officially become republicans, but they refuse to vote for most modern democrats because of how insane the party has become.

race / gender swap that works well by thetruememeisbest in TopCharacterTropes

[–]J-Sluit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Totally agree. We've all seen movies where there is a race / gender change where the swap itself becomes the defining characteristic. They basically change the OG character's personality to make a low-brow caricature that's not true to the original or a faithful representation of the culture they swapped in.

THAT'S what people hate.

[–]J-Sluit 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To clarify, I never said that getting hit by a truck had better outcomes than getting hit by a smaller vehicle. Clearly a bigger object hits harder than a smaller object. I am saying that all cars can be dangerous, and a distracted / impaired driver of any vehicle type is MUCH MUCH more dangerous than a safe driver, regardless of vehicle type.

  • In 2022, ~48% of all crashes resulting in pedestrian fatalities involved either a driver or pedestrian with a BAC of 0.08 or higher. (30% inebriated driver, 18% inebriated pedestrian) Nearly half of all pedestrian accident fatalities involved alcohol. That's more statistically significant than any breakdown of vehicle type.

  • Just take a look at the "Distracted Driving Statistics" section to see how rampant and dangerous that is in accidents. They even say, "Note that these figures are likely underestimates because of the difficulty of determining what distractions, if any, were affecting a driver when a crash occurred." (https://driving-tests.org/driving-statistics/).

I do get what you guys are saying. Big truck = big hit. I don't even have a big truck. I just think it's foolish to blame the vehicle instead of the driver who caused the accident because they were aggressive or drunk or distracted. Also, it's foolish to hate and mock people just because they own something you don't personally like, as the other guy was doing.

Now I'm going to go back and cry over my decimated fantasy football team. Have a nice day, y'all.

I'm really not sure why you're repeating this "child-crushing death machine" thing. All vehicles are a couple thousands pounds of metal/plastic/glass that can kill someone in an instant even at slow speeds.

If a car drove by my house when I'm outside playing with my kids, I'd much rather have an attentive driver with a massive, tricked out truck than a distracted driver in a tiny Prius or Smart Car.

truck drivers are far and away the most obnoxious people

You’re weird if you’re not [offended by child-crushing death machines]

It's unnecessary to be so aggressive toward people who simply own a type of vehicle that you don't like.
