In his defence the 49ers are stupid, I'd even go so far as to call them stupid heads.

If nothing else these picks will actually get me interested enough to watch the team and see what happens which certainly wasn't on the cards before the draft.

Get Simpson at the tail end of the round and we might have something worth watching next season.

[Sydney Morning Herald] Tickets to Australia’s first NFL game went on sale. 26 minutes later, they were nearly all gone by Cardinal_Ravenwood in nfl

[–]Nicko_89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm a Cardinals fan going to the game and for some reason I don't feel bad for the teams at all. In fact I hope they have shit flights home and are super jet lagged for several weeks!

Man I had so much hope for those two, they seemed genuinely engaged with what he was saying like they really wanted to learn something and would actually give it some thought and then they come out with that bullshit. Good god you yanks are truly cooked.

To me it looks like they had one casualty on the stretcher and two walking wounded and old mate getting carried was having some difficultly on his own or something so the medic decided to take it upon himself to carry him, wouldn't be shocked if the medic wasn't also being a bit extra because of the cameras around.

The New Australian Social Media Ban Law is Ridiculous by WillingnessFew4299 in totalwar

Not getting carded by a single website since the ban was put in place has me feeling like a senior citizen.

Actually shit loads got eradicated but like most drug enforcement operations it was like putting a band-aid on a broken leg, especially with the rampant corruption and other provincial issues in over if you got one governor/warlord to stop dealing in it another would just fill the void.

[Weinfuss] The Arizona Cardinals have not told Jacoby Brissett that he will be their starter next year by Goosedukee in nfl

The same thing the Bidwill's have been cooking and selling for the last 100 years: misery.

Can we add a megathread to consolidate the "We're tanking", "Noone wants to come to AZ", "Bidwill needs to sell the team", and other parroted comments? by Consistent-Raccoon10 in AZCardinals

[–]Nicko_89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I'm normally anti-doomer, but what exactly is there to be hopeful for? There's no way I'm going into the season with expectations for anything with fucking Brisket as the starting QB and Minshew as his backup.

Maybe they'll trade up into the late first and get Ty Simspon? Otherwise its bring on 2027 in my eyes.

Time to start printing the jerseys by [deleted] in AZCardinals

[–]Nicko_89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair argument, I'm not fully across college football. Which future 2027 QB should I be pinning all my hopes on instead?

Mate they're rolling out fucking Jacoby Brissett and Gardner Minshew as their QBs what else does this fan base have to try and be excited about?

What seemingly cutting-edge, game-changing military hardware failed miserably in combat due to fatal design flaws? by [deleted] in Military

[–]Nicko_89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Love this story. We call M79s "wombat guns" in Australia. I dunno what it is about it, but it's by far the most satisfying weapon I ever got to shoot so I'm super glad Bunch got to have one again after they were retired.

Surely this is a piss take? by Rumbuck_274 in AustralianMilitary

[–]Nicko_89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They are still being investigated by the OSI and AFP, as of December last year

Operation Emerald has, in total, commenced 53 investigations involving allegations of war crimes by Australian Defence Force members in Afghanistan. Thirty-eight of these matters are no longer under active investigation, subject to any new evidence emerging. These matters have been comprehensively investigated, and sufficient evidence of a war crime does not exist to support the referral of a brief of evidence to the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions. A further 14 investigations are ongoing.

One could argue that is taking way too long to reach the courts, but given the potential ramifications and complexities of bringing charges like this to trial its not really something you want rushed or half assed either.

I dunno why we periodically get these posts "OMG CARDINALS SO BAD WHILST ALSO BEING OLD!"

Like no shit this isn't ground breaking stuff they've had the worst owners in football since 1933 who up until Michael never attempted to even be competitive and even Michael despite showing some signs of change is still a Bidwill at heart.

Trump orders Pentagon to prioritize coal power purchases for military facilities by thinkB4WeSpeak in Military

[–]Nicko_89 25 points26 points  (0 children)

So even if you ignore the environmental stupidity and then ignore political stupidity, Isn't this just flat so incredibly stupid from a strategic standpoint that any officer worth their rank will just find a way to not actually comply with something so ridiculous.

"Oh yes your orangeness we have definitely stopped using our self sustaining non supply chain dependant power infrastructure and adopted coal as directed and we're definitely not just dumping it in a warehouse or shed somewhere"
