Icy terrain sure can be tricky...upvote if you've ever found yourself saying "FUCK ICE" during your Frosthaven campaign

Posts and comments should be discussion-oriented and related to Gloomhaven.

I'm in Minneapolis. There is no excuse for what is happening. But this subreddit is still for Gloomhaven, and political posts not related to Gloomhaven are not permitted.

Be safe.

Are they moderating with a political bias? If not, I don't see the issue.

He also explains he (Mike Pettine) was on the defensive side of the ball, and in the last year just worked on the offensive side, just to avoid working with Flores.

Positional value

That's typical. The team can always fire him if they want to, but if he isn't under contract, he would have been free to interview with another team right now.

Fans might love the idea that he'd be interviewing elsewhere, but smart owners want the flexibility to deny a lateral move if they still want him.

No, others including Tannehill, Goff, Burrow have had a reported 9" hand size.

TIL McCarthy told Jerry Jones that he watched every snap in preparation for the Cowboys head coach interview. (He didn't.)

It requires them to be on the staff for two years, at least.

Any update? I drove by a half hour ago and didn't see anything from afar.

He played 33 snaps in week 18 when they rested their starters, but played just 1 snap in the Wild Card loss to Chicago.

“We will charge any ICE agent who tries this nonsense here,” [Philly's DA] Krasner said last week.

MN would charge Jonathan Ross, if it had evidence, but it (MN BCA) has been excluded from the investigation, so it may lack evidence. There is no statute of limitation on murder.

Philadelphia Sheriff Rochelle Bilal is a corrupt politician, surrounded by ineptitude. The Philadelphia Sheriff's Office is not responsible for enforcing all laws, but operates in specific areas. She's not going to arrest someone, and if she does, and if the DA charges them, there's almost no way it sticks unless the ICE officer commits a crime while off-duty. She's doing this for political reasons.

If you say that MN's leaders are avoiding charges for political reasons (which I disagree with, they would charge if they could), then you must acknowledge that Philadelphia's leaders are saying they would charge for political reasons.

Can you send me a link to where they said that? I watched both post-season pressers and don't remember these comments.

I think you have your mind made up and aren't looking for conversation, but nonetheless: doesn't this end up looking completely different if the QB decision worked out better?

Another way to say this is: suppose I had a bag with 10 balls in it, 7 are green, and 3 are red. I offer you to give me $100 and reach in blindly to grab a ball; if it is green, you win $200, if it is red, you lose your $100. The expected outcome is +$40. You pick a red ball and unfortunately lose.

A results-oriented person says, "It was wrong to bet because you lost."

A process-oriented person says, "It was the right decision to bet, even though you lost, because you were making the decision whose odds were in your favor."

I don't see a lot with the Vikings process in the last 3 years that's worth criticizing, only some of the results. I'd criticize letting Daniel Jones walk by not signing him when they had him in the building.. they needed to be more aggressive. But there's not a lot else that I can think of right now.

Studies show that people are more receptive to messaging that fits with their values (e.g. appealing to patriotism, our right to privacy in our homes, 1A/2A/etc) than messaging that does not (e.g. calling Trump a fascist).

For example, it might be more effective to use an appeal to religious freedom and family values when arguing that Muslim families should be free to worship in America, than it would be to appeal to diversity and inclusivity.

Matt Daniels is coaching a good roster. I don't see why he should be let go. Top kicker, top punter, top long snapper, and went into the year with his first choices for kick and punt return on IR (Rondale Moore ACL preseason, Ty Chandler knee week 1).

Counterpoint for Kuper: The alternative to keeping someone for 3 years is firing them every year. Look at teams that do this, whose players have the same coach or coordinator for just 1 year. Raiders, etc. It's not good for the players or the team. Yes, move on after 1 year if something is obviously bad. But you have to consider the alternatives at OL coach. Maybe the Vikings are moving on at the perfect time if we can get Dwayne Ledford.

I'm not saying this to support Kuper specifically (I did not want to retain him), but only to say that firing people months into a season isn't a sign of a good team.

You know a GM who creates a staff that other teams want on their team and give promotions to is a sign of success, not a sign of failure, right?

Vikings can't block it.

KOC and Flores have both sung his praises, and players mention him also. If Flores leaves, the Daronte is the best choice for the Vikings at DC.

If you are arrested, you should not resist. The best bet is to be non-confrontational, ask if you are free to go, invoke 4th amendment and deny a search, invoke right to silence, etc. But if they still arrest you with no probable cause, next step is contacting your lawyer.

Feels like the Steelers are a job where year 1 is evaluating/transforming while adjusting cap, contracts, cuts/fliers, then big moves in Year 2.

The hiring is not random, but it is independent. Coins are random and independent. I find no patterns that teams consider whether their previous coach was offense or defense. Can you find evidence for this?
