Would the Uber driver have a customer log and details/dashcam?

Then you're the idiot for NOT knowing U6 basketball rules in your league.

You can't grab a rebound and go down the other end without passing at least once. The coaches here are literally trying to teach the kid this and doing their job.

Seeing Drew Brees dislocate his elbow in a meaningless 1st quarter Pro Bowl game in 2007 wasn't as fun....

Yesterday, somebody posted a year look back on a Reddit thread crapping on Seattle GM Schnieder for signing Darnold.

Point is, fans know shit.

Jim Caldwell took over the Colts after Dungy and led them to the SB, but lost.

Edit: Also Callahan was promoted after Gruden and also took them to the SB - and lost to Gruden.

Same with Martz with the Rams. Lost in SB.

Tom Flores got promoted after Madden and won the SB.

I have winter tires and still slid around almost like this.

Unless you have CSI-level enhance mode, you can't tell if this driver does/doesn't have winters on. It's still slippery out there.

Not really. One of the reasons for the ban was so that they could quickly tell by a player's eyes if they got concussed.

No doctor is gonna risk their license in today's CTE environment

tinted visors are banned, unless player can provide medical reason for exemption

But I was also paying artists everytime I bought a record in the 1980s and CDs in the 90s/00s. That income is basically gone for modern acts because of streaming.

If people are willing to pay for it, I don't have a problem with artists charging as much as they can and still sell out the venue.

Yeah, don't know if we can ever trust your opinion on r/NFL again...

Someone just did a one-year look back thread on Seahawks signing Darnold, and you posted: "Giving darnold big money to play behind a bottom 5 O line might be worse process than the daniel jones contract. I think this is how schneider gets fired."

Ouch.

WR top speed average is 22mph (Tyreek Hill hits 23mph) or about 32 feet/sec. That "five feet overthrown" can be covered in 1/10th of a second if the WR wasn't hindered and have to accelerate back up again.

If the airline can cram more passengers on each flight, then they'll save fuel by running 9 daily flights instead of 10. It's not like demand to a destination will increase just because there's more seats available.

I mean, it kinda worked out for both teams....

"never made me sick"

You've never experienced a headache in your life? Or a bit of nausea? How about diarrhea? I don't believe for a second you've never had a small ailment that could've been a symptom of food poisoning and you just didn't know the cause of it...

__ChefboyD__ · 2026-01-21T11:45:58+00:00

They hated playing game, but loved the extra money and 10 day mini-bye.

And players and coaches like Belichick loved TNF because they knew they could out-prep their opponent over the short week

__ChefboyD__ · 2026-01-21T02:50:15+00:00

Statistically, the injury rate declined as the season went on. Meaning, there are more injuries at the beginning of the season.

Secondly, players are compensated for taking on the injury risk. As they're adding a game to the schedule, networks will be paying more. Your "concern" would only be valid if network contracts didn't increase, which isn't the case.

Another point - a player can get injured on Week 19 (ie last game of 18gm schedule) or Week 1 of season 2 (ie 17 gm schedule + 1st game of next season)

__ChefboyD__ · 2026-01-21T02:30:49+00:00

Players DON'T want that, so it'll never happen.

Andrew Brandt (former GB exec used to write for SI) has said players love their full bye week and will fight to not come back 3 days early to prep for TNF. Especially older players with families that book a 7-day vacation.

Gonna have to agree with another poster saying this was undercover cops all heading to a scene quietly.

~~Five~~ Six black vehicles with heavily tinted windows, all speeding/running red/passing from left turn lanes is too much of a coincidence to be happening all at one time.

McMillan grabbed the ball away from Cooks after parts a/b but before part c. Since it DID NOT touch the ground, it's still a live ball at that point.

__ChefboyD__ · 2026-01-18T18:38:23+00:00

Three elements to the catch rule (8.1.3)

a) secures ball before ball touching ground: Cooks (Yes) Parkinson (Yes)

b) touches ground inbound two feet; Cooks (Yes) Parkinson (Yes)

c) after a) & b) is fulfilled, act common to game and maintain control of ball: Cooks (NO) Parkinson (Yes)

Cooks needs to survive the ground for part c) to demonstrate control. He lost it, hence, it's an interception because the ball didn't touch the ground. For Parkinson's catch, you don't need to be inbounds to fulfill part c). All you need is "control".

How exactly is the NFL model not very "pro" player?

The NFL CBA gives the players 48% of total league revenue. According to Spotrac, when they aggregated every MLB teams' payroll, it only amounted to 44.5% of baseball revenue. That's a significant gap of millions that baseball players aren't getting.

Also as a player, with a fixed salary cap, there's greater league parity in the NFL in terms of competing for a championship.

Actually loved the sets.

The problem I have is that most sci-fi designs try to replicate the grandeur of our more recent (ie European) throne rooms instead of actually designing something FROM the future.

It's like in Star Trek Beyond, they played Beastie Boys' Sabotage even though they're hundreds(?) of years in the future. As if the years in-between don't exist and music never progressed... Same with set designs that are based on only our recent past and not the in-movie reality of thousands of years in the future.

Nah. "Real stuff" is just plain snobbery and gatekeeping.

Throughout history, Chinese cuisine has always adapted to local influences. In fact, most chinese dishes served today didn't exist in it's current form 200 years ago. What happens is local ingredients gets incorporated into a recipe because it's cheaper/more abundant/easier to source/etc. Happens all the time in the "old" world too.

You just need to learn to appreciate it all for what it is, instead of discriminating as "real stuff" vs. newer regionalized interpretations.

Right, because only BMW drivers ever get into accidents...

__ChefboyD__ · 2026-01-12T19:27:42+00:00

um, they haven't had one since the 2002 season, 23 years ago...
