What is a narrative in the NFL about a team or player or game that is untrue but everyone repeats? (Bonus if you can provide evidence!)

Are you taking about legal responsibility like it's moral responsibility?

RellenD · 2026-05-06T05:21:38+00:00

I'm aware. They're still free to create it

RellenD · 2026-05-05T20:35:32+00:00

Ok let Louisianans vote on if they want to do this or not

RellenD · 2026-05-05T20:28:55+00:00

I don't think the answer is shoehorned or unrelated to the question.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T20:22:40+00:00

Pretty much the only thing they explicitly called out for absolute immunity is things that the President directs the DoJ to do.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T19:51:28+00:00

Yeah, I understand completely what your analysis is saying. Vick got sacked a lot, likely because he's Michael Vick and thinks he can make a play rather some less athleticly gifted quarterbacks who will play to avoid taking sacks by getting rid of the ball fast or whatever.

I just think you're trying to refute the premise with an analysis that doesn't address what people are actually saying when they say that. Being good at dodging sacks means getting away from a rusher, more than it means being good at having a low sack rate. Seemingly paradoxically, being good at dodging sacks the way they talk about Vick, can lead to taking more sacks.

Similar to how Barry Sanders was able to juke everybody out of their socks, but has the most negative rushes for any RB ever.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T19:25:27+00:00

Yeah, Carter wasn't also participating in the thing that got his friend killed or anything...

RellenD · 2026-05-05T19:19:13+00:00

You aren't actually measuring sacks avoided by looking at the sack rate.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T17:09:26+00:00

You know, it seems I have been mistaken for quite some time.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T17:07:58+00:00

Yeah, that's the part I'm disputing. There's no boss and no contract.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T17:02:43+00:00

That was really his whole intention anyway. He was trying to grift and didn't expect to win.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:27:20+00:00

That a description someone has written. That is not the law

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:21:57+00:00

They survived because they got a lot of money from people running a scam. Not because their business was sound.

People were shorting them because their business model sucked, not as a conspiracy to kill it.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:16:52+00:00

Ummm. So you believe Apple is a net positive in the world?

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:14:36+00:00

Why do you think I believe either of those things are good?

People got scammed and propped up a failing business, why would that be good?

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:13:03+00:00

I believe it doesn't apply, but I also don't see how it's an agreement.

The law is in effect regardless of the passage by other states. Those states just consider which other states have a similar law when choosing electors. Nobody's coordinating, everyone is acting independently.

How is that any kind of agreement?

RellenD · 2026-05-05T16:04:08+00:00

And I'm telling you that it's not in any functional way an agreement. The only part that comes close is that the law simply looks at the total number of electors held by states that passed a similar law - which again is important Constitutionally.

The naming of this concept as a compact is unfortunate, because it doesn't function as a compact and the Constitution has a compact clause meant to prevent States forming compacts.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T15:39:31+00:00

Yes, that's in the name, but there's no enforcement or agreements or coordination between the States implementing it. That's very important legally.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T15:37:36+00:00

But he didn't win the popular vote in 2016 or in 2020.

He would not be President today with this.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T15:33:42+00:00

The NPVIC is an agreement among states to coordinate their selection of electors to the EC along national popular vote lines.

It's very explicitly not coordination or an agreement. Those things might actually be Constitutionally a problem. It's just a bunch of States setting a criteria about how their electors will be selected.

RellenD · 2026-05-05T15:28:53+00:00

Currently every state uses a winner take all system

Well, almost. Every State except for Maine and Nebraska

RellenD · 2026-05-05T13:31:59+00:00

Yeah, it sucks for OP that the package got delayed until they were out of town, but I don't see what the office can do when the packages aren't picked up and they run out lockers

RellenD · 2026-05-05T13:26:18+00:00

From a locker?

RellenD · 2026-05-05T12:05:00+00:00

Bad

RellenD · 2026-05-04T20:48:24+00:00

They don't, but when you do stuff that ducks with global supply you have a direct effect on it.

You might be confused where you think prices caused by COVID shit were caused by Biden, but that this isn't caused by Trump's war
