cubbiebum wrote for a living, no? All in favor of a second CubbieBum thread?

I think he was a bellhop. But he was just biding his time until joining the Peace Corps or becoming assistant AD at some school his mom worked at in South Carolina. But the heart just couldn't say no to an opportunity like Williston, ND. the peace corp thing was amazing, i forgot about that. the guy who throws a tantrum about chilli and the super bowl and has a nacho cheese dispenser in his apartment is gonna go help impoverished children. ok. they're gonna love the pillow gifts, dawg REQUIRED READING http://northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=57209&

She also lashed out at Feder for reporting that The Game was going off the air.

Since people pouted about pizza talk, I'll go off track with a topic we never cover. I do not remember this exchange from da bum, but my God imb. http://www.northsidebaseball.com/archive/viewtopic.php?f=44&t=52330&p=2051101&

i thought it was about that michael chiklis show Daddio?

In the worst namedrop of all time, Mod's owner is a goofball too. Back on topic, how do you let a frozen pizza stay in your freezer long enough to get freezer burned? That's gone within a couple days of the grocery trip.

Isn't Okafor a FA after this season?

I'm not saying it should be focused AT them; I'm saying they're part of the problem that's being protested. They don't deserve any kind of special exemption from a protest over issues that they very much at the core of, and yet they already have it with the kneeling and still people lie to themselves about how this is "offensive." They cry that this is a disrespectful act, when the military has been actively LEFT OUT of a protest and actually PAID TRIBUTE TO when they should be included as part of the problem. You can't point to the abuse by police and ignore a gigantic part of what's feeding that. Hell, if anything it's even more vital in this setting since the NFL is such a willing platform for the government and the military. Nobody's saying hey abusive cops who used to be military, you're cool with us. It's saying by kneeling during the Anthem they're not protesting the military itself.

Maybe it's a product of where I grew up, but I think your Group 2 is much larger than you realize Constable. Mojo, regarding directing the protest at the military, that seems like double counting to me. I agree that militarization is an issue, and ex-military taking a military approach towards policing is a big part of that, but what's the point. You're already protesting their policing, what is to be gained by protesting "the military" Their actions while enlisted aren't what's directly causing issues. You don't protest Criminal Justice majors because they wind up becoming police officers.

Do you think Kapernick and others are only doing the protests for themselves? Huh?

that's an incredibly stupid idea. pay the cops to protest them killing people unbelievable it's not a lack of sensitivity that is causing cops to support cops who kill people for no good reason Additionally, Kaepernick has donated money and still gets the lol, you have it so rough rich boy. Give up all your money if you really have an issue, and then move far away so I don't have to see you.

Can you offer up a way for football players to protest that would have gotten as much attention, but would not have been controversial? My point wasn't about "controversy" -- every protest is somewhat controversial. Rather, I was saying that this particular protest vehicle is offensive/disrespectful to many. If you think about the scope (how many people consider it to be offensive?) extent (how offensive is it?), kneeling during the anthem is relatively high on both. A few ideas that would have far lower scope and extent of offensive/disrespectful. 1. Wearing shirts featuring victims of police brutality for warmups, etc. (or holding photos of victims in pregame/postgame) -- you'd probably have far more participation from players on this, too since no one's worried about appearing disrespectful to military. Counter is the "it's anti-police" but think that's a far weaker complaint overall because it's a far more abstract objection than kneeling during the anthem. 2. Donating game checks. You could have one player from each team donate their game check to this cause: 50% to victims' families, 50% to local policy departments to help fund sensitivity training. The players could pool it to make it the equivalent of the average game check. Goes against the "spoiled, selfish athletes don't know what it's like", "put your money where your mouth is" gripe. 3. Each team "adopting" a victim of police brutality in their home city. Dedicating each game to them, mentioning in post-game comments, etc. This is probably the weakest alternative but if it were well-coordinated, could be impactful. Rich black men protesting is always going to be offensive/disrespectful to many.

You just made up half those names.

Well, you can't expect a ton in return after he tears up his knee.

Yeah, I like theirs a lot more than ours.

Canada has only won 3 out of 5 since pros started. And 2010 had a couple epic US/Canada games, with US tying the gold medal game in the closing seconds.

Player options

The games have started at 5 PM Los Angeles time, what the hell do you want from them? An hour earlier. And weekend games should be WAY earlier. Weekends, when people can stay up all night should be played at 9 AM.

I have no love for the Dodgers, but I still have a little for the team that employed Roy Oswalt. Also, I have this weird NL loyalty/ "if the NL wins, it legitimizes my NL team." thing going on. I didn't know we were supposed to hate Roy Oswalt.
