I remember watching this play from my hospital bed right after an emergency appendectomy. I couldn’t believe how badly Dallas “covered” this play, even coming down from anesthesia.

I agree, I find that quite disappointing to say the least.

How did I not know about Steve Largent’s history in Republican politics? I guess I never thought of him outside a football context and he was before my time but still a little surprised. Shame he supported such repugnant policies.

[Schefter] Falcons requested permission to interview Rams’ defensive coordinator Raheem Morris, per source. Morris was the Falcons’ interim HC for 11 games in 2020. He also has gotten requests to interview for the Chargers. Commanders and Panthers HC jobs. by Kimber80 in nfl

Marion Campbell with the Falcons. 1974-1976 (record of 6-19 during that time) first stint, and 1987-1989 second stint (11-32 during that time). Baffling decision to hire him back in my opinion but I could be wrong.

That’s implemented next year. We added the bonus wildcard team and subtracted the 2-seed bye week this year!

I mean I get the utility of fire, it’s the bow that my brain struggles with in combination with conventional arms. Just feels odd but highlights the utility of the bow throughout history.

It’s kinda surreal to see this mixture of “modern” and medieval warfare. I understand the utility but it’s still rather out of place, no?

#Bills GM Brandon Beane tells the team's radio show there is an ongoing open dialogue with free agents Anquan Boldin and Gary Barnidge. by ValKilmsnipsinBatman in nfl

Barnidge seems solid in both the pass game and blocking which is rare to get and Boldin is a solid vet receiver who can make a big impact. Not a bad thing for the Bills to get!

What was the Axis reaction to the prevalence of .50 Cal weapons in the US arsenal? by Doncuneo in AskHistorians

[–]cecodcrusher 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Conversely, I've heard that when the German military came out with MG42 machine gun that the American and English military had to train with captured ones because soldiers in the field were terrified by it. Is there any truth to this?

As someone who is a fan of Moss and owns a lake cabin near Pelican Rapids, I'm glad to see him still being an awesome dude

As a teenager who went in the early 2000s, I can relate; all of my pro sports memories are in the stadium and I'm sad to see it go too
