  1. may be why he hates FGs. The Maryland Rowland is back
  2. Cannot grab outside of shoulder pads. Especially at point of attack. Glad they didn’t miss that one. K St pins UT at 1.
  3. Tom’s got some Leach in him. Hates FGs. You can see it in his face. But we’ll take that one. 24-17 Texas.
  4. Malik is fast. Very fast.
  5. What the heck??? [Hidden Content]
  6. TD Porter! Sam looks great. 21-17 Horns
  7. ROACH BOMB UTF!
  8. Great play call. Sam to Warren 17-14.
  9. I still love him. Porter with his second TD of the day, but first that counted. 10-7 K St.
  10. Elliott may have just killed Ertz
  11. And kick it from the 3
  12. Why on earth is Warren not in on goal line situations?
  13. But this D is nasty
  14. Not a good start. Sam had him open. Well underthrown INT
  15. I would guess and hope never.
  16. I have no doubt about the first sentence. My guess as to the second sentence is they took offense to some of their brethren being called SOBs in a tweet. In fact, post game interviews support that, as well as the league-wide show. Heck, the NFLDPA has trouble getting that kind of solidarity during union negotiations.
  17. Iowa State would beat poooor aggy this year. Pretty sure they’re much better than Nicholls St or U La La. As for our “little conference”, obviously we upgraded with TCU. Everyone knows that but aggy. But the SEC got what it wanted in a doormat with recruiting inroads into Texas.
  18. Cough cough
  19. Mine too. Never been to a game in Nashville though. My guess is the atmosphere isn’t great. But in terms of a CFB town, give me a road trip to Nashville over Starkville, Tuscaloosa or CS.
  20. That is a perspective and/or conclusion many have. And I don’t think anyone but each individual player knows the actual answer. BUT I also don’t think it’s logically possible that every player who knelt did it for the same reason/cause. Not trying to be cynical
  21. Absolutely. Precisely what I meant by the last sentence of my post you quoted, although I did a poor job of spelling it out.
  22. Your example is a more extreme example (I think) of my ISIS example. It’s a valid argument. Not sure this is security issue though. And again, technically any law that is in contravention of a federal can be argued to be outside a State’s rights.
  23. Pretty impressive showing for the Bulldogs against a previously unbeaten (5-0) Lions squad.
  24. I started reading up on this after your original post about his gambling, etc. REB will tell you I HATE conspiracy theories. But like you, things just don’t add up. The massive gambling, the planes. I convinced myself there is more to this story. As baddog said, I need it to “make sense” to me. I hope we are told enough that it does at some point, but eventually I stopped reading because these situations make me nuts.
  25. Let’s assume it’s a difficult decision. I can’t say that it was for Kaepernick because I don’t know him and certainly not his convictions. I know what he says and can choose to take him at his word or not. For me personally, to do something so extreme for a “cause” would have been exceedingly difficult. I can imagine taking this particular action in any scenario that exists today, but that’s my belief system and views. But if it IS something you struggle with, it is completely rational and logical to not expect it to happen the moment you feel “injustice.” It might be something you contemplate, feel strongly about, but struggle finding the “courage.” I am not labeling Kap or anyone doing this as courageous because only they know their hearts and true motives. But I would offer an example that would illustrate what I am trying to say. Many people have been raised in a Christian church. They might be their every Sunday, or even every time the “doors are open.” They have listened to 100s of sermons, and figured out at some point what they believe they should do. But for many people, it was years and years before they truly had a conversion experience where they”became a Christian,” as believers in Bible-based denominations believe. I suppose the same question you ask would apply to them. And before I get lambasted, I am NOT comparing the NFL situation with Christianity! Just offering an example of a delayed demonstration of conviction.
