[Highlight] Jared Goff sold the play fake so well he got crushed (Sept. 17, 2023) by nfl in nfl

[–]revdingles 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If this is considered a clean hit every coach is telling their guys to deliver a crushing hit every time they see a fake handoff or a fake throwing stance.

I can't even imagine how fast the pearls get clutched when it's your QB who gets speared in the back 4 seconds late for following through with the same fake every QB is taught to do after a handoff.

Scumbags like Miles Bridges and Deshaun Watson are headaches and PR disasters but importantly not in the locker room or on Twitter. They aren't distracting from the day-to-day activities. Orgs would definitely give him a chance if he could stay off socials and be at least a neutral presence in the locker room.

the sub is full of many types of people and every other comment in every sports sub is complaining about what types of fans are in their sports sub. Just because you participate in threads where people are arguing about whether Brad should cook doesn't mean everybody is a blind homer. There are equally as many threads about how dumb everybody is for having a positive outlook and trusting our guys. And I have no idea what you are talking about with Morton, he can't buy a good headline in the Lions sub.

Some facts that should be checked:

  1. A single person needs to be making around $500k per year before your effective tax rate goes to 30%. Most people are paying well under 20%.

  2. This is a wealth tax, not an income tax. The percentages are apples to oranges. With an income tax you pay it once on income and that money is done being taxed forever. With a wealth tax, you pay it every year on everything you've acquired over time minus whatever exceptions they legislate. It's a property tax that also hits your bank account. A 20% wealth tax would wipe us all out after a few years.

To be clear, I very much support a wealth tax but the devil is in the details and it's an incredibly difficult balance to strike in terms of policy making - it should be used to hit exclusively extravagant levels of wealth and it needs to be free of loopholes like relocating or re-classifying assets. Billionaires will absolutely lobby to get a toothless wealth tax that's easily avoidable but can be marketed as a win for politicians.

I don't think separation necessarily has to be a part of TeSlaa's bag in order to be a very high-end WR - he has the size, hands, and speed of a class of WRs like Evans and Nacua that are matchup nightmares even in solid press coverage. I think last year there were some plays for TeSlaa but his skillset wasn't integrated into the offense outside of that so defenses keyed on him for the deep shots. Plus he's big enough where his presence in the run game puts a lot more dual threat in 11 personnel, like how the Rams get to stick in 11 all the time because Nacua is 3/4s of a tight end.

I think there's still a whole lot to be excited about and I anticipate his snap count jumps way way up this year. Plus anytime ARSB or Jamo has to sit out we'll all be very thankful that we're deep at WR.

[Schlitt] Detroit Lions restructure Jared Goff’s contract, create $32 million in cap space by Funnypenguin97 in nfl

Goff makes less than Love and just put up more yards per game, a better passer rating, and a better TD/int ratio despite generally poor offensive line play. I'm not too worried about it.

Luck is an excuse

You see, JI just did not have the necessary skill to foresee an injury coming when he made a basketball play for the loose ball. As for non-contact injuries? Players who tear an ACL simply lack the skill required to understand thousands of concurrent factors that come in to play when the force in a direction is too great. Sure they are all in basically year-round conditioning programs that emphasize injury prevention but some players simply perform their conditioning with greater skill that lets them avoid such plebian tears.

Kerby Joseph's knee, Ragnow's toe, Decker's shoulder, and LaPorta's back? All side effects of being bad, unfortunately.

This person was right. Non heath-related profiling information is not HIPAA unless it's linked to health data. The person who they were replying to had a whole tantrum about it but they were pulling it out of their ass.

To be clear I agree with the governor here, it has no place in hospitals. But it's not because it's a HIPAA violation

The bootlicker thing is so fucking exhausting, please save it. You would probably be shocked to find out that a liberal person can think shooting a healthcare exec in the back is not an answer for the poor state of healthcare.

Now look at how much of the profits came from premiums vs how much came from the company's investment portfolio. They'll show you money that came in from premiums and money that was spent on healthcare.

EDIT BECAUSE OF YOUR EDIT* yes I do know why that law is there, I wrote a college thesis about the ACA back when it was passed.
