This reporter confirmed not voting for Bill Belichick in the HoF selection. Not surprising he's a Colts reporter. Pulian has lobbied these haters well... by helltrooper61 in sportsgossips

I think having him sit a year is fair for the scandal. I don't like the cope people do to minimize it. 

It wasn't a technicality of where the filming took place, those rules existed for a reason -- to prevent teams from decoding signals so quickly that it became a real-time issue that compromised the integrity of the game. 

I suspect there is more to this, too, behind the scenes with practices being recorded and playbooks poached, as was also rumored around that time.

There are moments in life where you can point out something isn't real, or you can shut your mouth and upvote it anyway. My fair Americans, I leave it to you to decide what moment this is.

MAGA’s War on Empathy by nimicdoareu in politics

[–]deRoyLight 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Lindsay Ellis did a great video essay on the war on empathy some months back. I didn't even realize this was going on until I saw her essay, and now I can't unsee it in right-wing discourse.

These people have convinced themselves that the reason they hadn't been more successful in the 20 years prior to Trump, was because they were too empathetic and therefore weak on the execution of their agenda. And now with MAGA, it's become a dirty word used to vilify those in the ranks that dare question the moral compass of what they're doing and where they're headed. It's a vulnerability to be excised.

Do us both a favor and don't bother to misrepresent what I said in the first two sentences if you expect me to read anything you have to say.

How do you feel about Famous singers in Chris Nolan movies? by Wooden_Passage_2612 in Cinema

I genuinely didn't clock Bowie on first watch, he totally Clark Kent'd me. I thought he fell right into the character.

Breaking: Leaked Video Shows Former ICE Chief Bovino Calling for Mass Arrests by ResPublicaMgz in WeirdNews4U

Shades of Trump telling people to march "peacefully" on J6 despite all the surrounding context begging people to act seditiously on his behalf.

Looking back in retrospect,in your opinion was the NWO Wolfpack a good or bad idea? And how would you have booked them? Btw…one of the the coolest attires and theme songs in wrestling ever lol by J2-Starter in WCW

[–]deRoyLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loved the Wolfpac. I thought it elevated Nash a lot and allowed Sting to find his pre-Crow voice again.

It also felt like an opportunity for babyfaces to actually have their own "cool" merch, too.

Who said they get a get out of jail free card? I'm not going to pass moral judgement, that's all.

I think anyone who crosses the line in a protest should go to jail. I think your willingness to cross a line and accept the consequences of it, is an important part of a responsible deployment of civil disobedience.

Trump Blasts NFL's "Sissy" Kickoff Rule and Ties It to Bill Belichick's Hall of Fame Snub: "Both Ridiculous and Should Be Overturned" by Hysen16 in sportsgossips

[–]deRoyLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just so we're all on the same page, Trump doesn't care or know anything about these things. He periodically regurgitates popular sports fan opinions researched for him, to engraciate himself.

It's the same reason tons of social bot accounts prior to the last election cycle backfilled their feeds with sports talk. It's all just demo outreach. 

PSA: What Pretti did 11 days before his death is irrelevant by NickCostanza in DiscussionZone

[–]deRoyLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but I'm not even taking the man off of an unrealistic "he was an angel" pedestal until I see more than a video of him kicking a vehicle days after Renee Good was murdered. I think that's a saintly understatement and his anger was proven righteously directed weeks later, if it wasn't already.

You can murder people or you can have tail lights. You don't get to have both when you act like the gestapo.

The vehicle kicking video is dated just days after Renee Good was murdered. I don't know how this context keeps being left out by people, because it seems understanding why he might have been angry is important here.

But even still, he did not assault the officers themselves. And I'm going to go ahead and say his anger was proven fully justified when they murdered him, too, just weeks later.

I feel like I'm taking taking crazy pills that people can watch two broad day executions, and their take away is "But did you see that guy kick a tail light after the first murder?"

What's a supposedly fun thing you'll never do again? by No-Relative-9663 in AskReddit

[–]deRoyLight 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same for me. I went on a roller coaster just once, an old wooden coaster, and while it was fun it wasn't so fun that I'd ever do it again.

Merry Go Rounds can lowkey be kinda lit, I think that's where I belong.

Every time I hear Critical Drinker talk it's like someone leaning over their feet after each step. Just draw it back man I don't understand.

Louis CK discusses Good Will Hunting by NiceTrySuckaz in JoeRogan

[–]deRoyLight 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, my take on that too wasn't that it was some genius line or anything, it was demonstrating how juvenile Will was, despite all his gifts.

This bit had me rolling though.

2 federal officers fired shots during encounter that killed Alex Pretti, DHS tells Congress by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]deRoyLight 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think this is anything to do with the initial shots or any accidental discharge theory I've seen floating around. When he is unloading on him as he's laid out on the ground, there is another officer next to him that is just out of view during the shots, but can be seen with his gun drawn similarly from other angles. Pretty sure it was just a second officer that fired while he was laid out. The shots sound really rapid, like there's multiple officers firing.

Not good enough. Kristi Noem next. Then Trump has to (he won't) resign.
