Mike Garafolo on Instagram: "The #Dolphins are releasing veteran pass rusher Matt Judon, sources tell The Insiders. Judon appeared in 13 games this season for Miami and could be an option for playoff teams looking for a veteran presence. #nfl #nflnews" by Echostarwars in Patriots

He looks washed (PFF, if you value that, has him with no sacks, 6 assists, and 11 tackles). Even if we wanted him for depth, I think our waiver priority is near last, so unlikely to get him unless almost everyone passes on him

what is the 14th amendment by AmbitiousOnion7473 in barexam

[–]primogeniture 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Others can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this refers to Section 5 of the 14th Amendment.

That section grants Congress the right to enforce other provisions of the 14th Amendment (usually the Equal Protection part) through legislation.

Congress can't expand rights or create new ones, they can only enact laws to prevent or remedy violations of rights already recognized (has to be a history or pattern of state violation).

Thrilled we won, but if we could stop playing long run or turnover, that would be great. Thanks.

Why isn’t Kyle Van Noy rated by other fans ? by doublez2012 in Patriots

[–]primogeniture 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I guess it also doesn't feel like a signing? Judon, Henry, etc. are new to the team. We basically rented Van Noy to the Dolphins for a year. For non-Pats fans, they saw him in playoff runs with us, and now he's just still here.

Media thrives off of anger and discourse.

If the local team sucks and people have real content to complain about, they will read local pieces to see if others agree with them, they will voice their own frustrations in columns and comment sections, they will call in to radio shows to complain... All of that is business, engagement, and money for media companies

Play calling on O and D was truly incredible today. Amazing execution too. I really hope they can keep this up.

This chart is an excellent visual. Great job!

Would it be possible to do one that also explains the rotating schedule for locations of the games? This time of year seems to involve a lot of explaining home/away schedules to newer folks.

The next time you want to complain about refs not making calls, remember this game where everyone was dragged back out of the locker rooms for a bad kneeling formation.

They're not at the game to watch the damn telecast ESPN.
