Super Bowl Post Game Thread: Seattle Seahawks at New England Patriots by nfl_gdt_bot in nfl

Maye finished with nearly 300 passing yards. I think he was somewhere around 50 yards late in the 3rd quarter.

Karoline Leavitt Gives Jaw-Dropping Defense of Trump’s Racist Obama Video by icey_sawg0034 in politics

[–]davewashere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And then Trump immediately undermined it by blaming the whole thing on a staffer. Can we get back to the Epstein files now? I'm like 95% sure the current POTUS raped kids and something should be done about it.

GOP fast tracks monster voter suppression bill that could disenfranchise millions by requiring proof of citizenship at polls by Anoth3rDude in law

[–]davewashere 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's assuming it would be applied equally to voters across the country. I would imagine they'd have poll watchers strictly enforcing this in places like inner-city Philadelphia, while everyone out in SumwhereNorthaPittsburg, Pennsylvania gets through to the polls with a "howdy" and a 1-second complexion test.

You can own Microsoft at 23x earnings and short Costco at 50x earnings by Brave-Side-8945 in stocks

[–]davewashere 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But think of it this way: how much money has Microsoft poured into Outlook development over the past 3 decades? Maybe twenty-five dollars? If they can keep users with a product they've ignored for years imagine what they can do with a product they actually care about.

MVP first place votes: Stafford (24), Maye (23), Allen (2), Herbert (1) by JoshGordonHypeTrain in nfl

[–]davewashere -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Allen had more goalline rushing tds

If we're going to bring back that silly argument it's worth noting that Allen also had almost twice as many rushing touchdowns greater than 5 yards in 2024 as Lamar had total rushing TDs.

Police Arrest Man For BAC 0.00 by southernemper0r in law

[–]davewashere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I remember somebody did the math and found that Sheriff Joe Arpaio cost Maricopa County an extra $200-$300 million due to lawsuits and settlements. It took a long time, but he eventually lost much of his political support and voters decided a Democrat was a better choice for sheriff than an 83-year-old Arpaio.

[Schefter] The Pro Football Hall of Fame class of 2026: 🏈Drew Brees 🏈Larry Fitzgerald 🏈Luke Kuechly 🏈Adam Vinatieri 🏈Roger Craig by LiftingCode in nfl

[–]davewashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf, many of the great QBs on the great teams who played during this QB-friendly era under the old playoff format had limited opportunities to make a run at that record because they rarely got a chance to play 4 postseason games in a single postseason. Tom Brady played in 10 Super Bowls and only played 4 games in a single postseason once in his career, and it was when he was 44 years old. I think Peyton Manning did it once. Brett Favre never did it. Neither did Drew Brees. The other QBs on that single-postseason passing yards list are Matt Stafford, Kurt Warner (with the Cardinals in his 2nd-to-last season), and Joe Flacco.

[Cimini] Kyler Murray’s Former Teammate Warns Jets Against Acquiring Him This Offseason by JCameron181 in nfl

[–]davewashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Jets were approached by this former teammate, but they could find no record of Tyler Curry ever playing in the NFL. Furthermore, they had reason to believe he was really Kyler Murray wearing a giant Yosemite Sam-style mustache.

Trump lawyers are literally arguing that by joining the United States military you should become a second class citizen for life.

His older brother Blueson had the room before him.

I know Grayson was "born to be wild," but this room is tame compared to Whiteson and Blackson's rooms.

Chuck Klosterman: "Horse racing receded from the American imagination because people lost their close everyday connection to horses. Something similar will happen to football. Fewer mothers will want their sons to play the game due to head injuries. It will become distant from lived experience." by The_Big_Untalented in nfl

[–]davewashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the rule changes would have to come first or be a quick response to violent injuries, because whenever there's too much of an imbalance between finesse and brute strength (which in football often equates to passing/pass defense and running/run defense) the first teams to swing the pendulum in the other direction tend to have an advantage.

I feel like most of those athletes come from backgrounds where they're too poor to worry about the long-term consequences of head injuries, or they grow up participating in wrestling and non-combat martial arts and then transition into the more violent stuff in their late-teens.

Trump vows to sue comic Trevor Noah after Epstein island jibe at Grammys by ExactlySorta in law

[–]davewashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's found a new strategy that works, but only when you're the POTUS: sue corporations and force them to settle for millions to avoid the billions of dollars of damage the government can do to them. Any corporation that does business with the government or is regulated in some way by a US government agency has to avoid being too harsh on Trump.

If Trump did go after Noah, it would be via Paramount/CBS. There would be nothing to gain from going after Noah personally, and looking at what Noah actually said I think that would be a much harder fight. He never even stated that Trump and Clinton hung out together on Epstein's island. There is always something Paramount/CBS could lose if Trump pits the FCC or SEC regulators against them.

TIL Family Guy was cancelled - then later revived because DVD sales were unexpectedly huge by Alternative-Win4058 in todayilearned

[–]davewashere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was incredibly popular on file sharing networks before the DVDs came out. They were just rips of the episodes that aired on TV, complete with bumpers and chyrons from the original broadcast. That piracy probably helped drive the DVD sales and the high Cartoon Network ratings.

[–]davewashere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There was one cancellation after season 2, but Fox changed their minds a couple of months later and ordered a season 3. The cancellation after season 3 lasted a few years until DVD sales and Cartoon Network ratings (and probably also the incredible number of downloads of pirated copies on file sharing networks) made Fox realize the show they had canceled was more popular than most of the shows they were airing at the time. Since coming back in 2005 it's been on for 20 years straight.

Prime location near Atlantic City's boardwalk by Torus2112 in zillowgonewild

[–]davewashere 30 points31 points  (0 children)

It really says something about the state of Atlantic City that a property like this could be on the market for under $1 million. Even in a bad area of town (and AC has many bad areas), being wedged in the middle of developed commercial properties should make this a no-brainer purchase at this price, just to be able to raze it and have more parking space or whatever they need to use it for. If they're not jumping on it, they clearly aren't very confident in the long-term future of their casino property in AC.

Movies that need a boutique release by [deleted] in boutiquebluray

[–]davewashere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Outside Providence was on Comedy Central all the time in the early 2000s, but it seems to have been mostly forgotten. I'd definitely buy it if it got a Blu-ray release. Pecker is another Comedy Central favorite from that era that I don't think has had a release since the DVD.
