Interested to know how you think this will make kickoffs worse. It will make them more risky for the kicking team - is that what you mean? This change would further incentivize the kicker to kick the ball into an area where the returner has to field the ball, which increases kickoffs actually returned, and hopefully results in more exciting game moments.

Pete would absolutely improve this Bears team, no doubt. His ceiling these days is an early playoff exit I’m afraid. The NFL has evolved beyond his ability to adapt.

If the Bears want a Superbowl window within Caleb Williams’ rookie contract (the easiest time for a team to make it seems to be while their QB is on a small contract), then Pete is not the right move. I would be Ben Johnson or bust if I was the Bears FO.

I wish I had record of it.

They had reached out to me after years of no contact to catch up and we chatted back and forth for a day just telling each other what was new in our lives and how good it was to talk after so lomg. Then immediately after, they cut me off completely for the last few years of their life. I’ll never know exactly why, but I suspect they just didn’t want to burden me and others with all the things they were struggling with (a string of bad luck so uniquely terrible anyone that knew them would know who I was talking about if I said everything I knew about here).

A couple months before they passed, they completely dropped off the face of the earth and their Facebook was hacked. When whoever now owned the account got tipped off that I knew they were a scammer, they blocked me and I lost all of our message history.

I have never hated a complete stranger more than whoever this person is.

They might be ESL or have a disability that affects their ability to write. What they wrote here might be a huge improvement over what their English writing looked like a year ago.

Attack their ideas, not their language. Plenty to go after there without targeting the person behind them.

He scored me 55 points last night! What???

Damn has it been 7 years already? I remember the “pretty good, for a RB” jokes when they were genuine, before Lamar had proven he could pass as well as run. Now the dude’s outplaying Mahomes, Josh Allen, Joe Burrow, and has put up a few of the best all time QB performances in the last few years.

Starting to understand all the folks that have been following the game for 20+ years, it’s wild how fast the time goes…

It’s basically a requirement in the US to file a lawsuit to get anything done with regards to businesses doing shady/illegal shit. There’s just too much bullshit for the agencies responsible to go after every single offender. And corporations know it.

Is this… a Cloverfield meme?

TLDR:

Return rates have increased substantially, but not quite to the level they’d hoped. Injury rates aren’t public yet, but they seem lower. Expect return rates to increase a bit more in the second half of the season.

New kickoff rules expire after this season, hopefully they reinstate them plus shift touch backs to the 35 from the 30 to further incentivize returns.

Ideally, each team could use another 3-5 members to truly feel like a cohesive team. Weve got at least a couple active members in each team currently, and there’s no maximum team size so the more the merrier!

I appreciate the feedback, I’ll make that a priority!

For the time being, yes - when I have the time and funds for it, I intend to commission an actual logo but I sadly lack the artistic skill myself.

I fucking hate this rhetoric.

Voting for a third party is not “taking a vote away” from anyone.

You’re arguing with someone who would in all likelihood JUST NOT VOTE if not for an alternative option. If you want assurances that fascism doesn’t get voted in, how about you direct that passion towards getting people to vote for someone, anyone, instead of staying at home? That is the only certain way of getting not-the-GOP-candidate elected time and time again. Republicans always come out to vote in about the same numbers every election. Just get more people voting, and not only do the Dem numbers go up, but the viability of a third party goes up astronomically as well.

Just VOTE. For anyone!

Oh, hell yeah. Always wanted to watch the ELF while I lived in London, but it was impossible to find a free stream.

If only the situation were even that “good” for Palestine. It’s been an occupied territory by Isreal for years - long before last Oct. There already are “border fences” - Gaza has been under blockade by Isreal for at least 2 decades, restricting any movement of Palestinians. I recommend having a look at a map to see just how dire the situation is for Palestine when they have Isreal right in the middle and all around simultaneously.

Palestine isn’t even recognized as a country by several, including - conveniently - Isreal and the US.

So, neither of those proposed alternatives would really be a good argument to Israel I’m afraid.

Expires every X months.

I’ve never been super into the idea of using a password manager rather than just using complex but memorable passwords for everything, but policy like this basically necessitates using one.

Source for those numbers?

Ok, just in case anyone else had the same thought, this is not the podcaster and oldest brother of Travis and Griffin McElroy. This is just a dude that does sick commissioned art.

This is the one where homer gets hair and gets all fit, but then the hair starts falling out til he’s back to normal. The sight gag being that somehow it was the hair keeping his gut in, once it all falls out, his gut pops back out.

Do people try to contact coinbase for reasons other than “my 2FA doesn’t work anymore and I’m locked out of my account”? My only exposure to people trying to get help for it was while I worked for a common 2fa company, but you can’t really blame them if you didn’t save backup codes before getting a new device…
