Even if there is deserved criticism, it's not always equal. Kamala Harris not using bluetooth headphones, which seems smart to me honestly, is not the same as the president's son and chief of staff using burner phones during the insurrection.

There are definitely some differences between all the players involved though. For one even though JJ was a 5 star recruit he was nowhere near viewed as highly as Henson who was viewed as a unicorn type prospect. Not just by Michigan fans but the national media a like. Just for one example I remember Kiper saying that if he didn't choose baseball there was a real chance he could've given Vick a run for the number 1 pick that year and that's saying something cause Vick as well was viewed as this generational prospect. Then as far as Cade goes, no he isn't going to be Tom Brady but going by where they were at their respective points I think Cade is probably viewed in higher regard. Unlike Brady, Cade was a sought after recruit and borderline 5 star guy, like the article said even schools like Bama offered him a scholarship and they don't do that for scrubs. Btw just gotta say the highlight of my HS Athletic career my "Al Bundy 4td in the city championship" if you will moment was going 1 for 3 with a double off Henson. That game was the closest I would ever come to playing in a big time game considering Henson drew monster crowds everywhere he went. Anyway the double came when I was late on a fb but I barreled it for a double just inside the 1b line. I should've asked for the ball after. Lol

Having read through this thread I think WAAAAAYYYYYYYY too much is being made out of this TO call. I think it was reasonable to call the TO. Prior to this drive the last two drives by the Vikings: 6 plays, 14 yards, fumble 6 plays, 16 yards, punt Before the TO: Vikings got a pass off for 2 yards. This means in the previous 13 offensive plays by the Vikings they averaged less than 2.5 yards per play. The Vikings were reeling, the Lions' offense was clicking (17 unanswered points). and the the Lions defense was stuffing the Vikings. If the Lions stop the Vikings, get the ball and score then get the ball to start the 3rd qtr and score... let's say one is a TD the other FG, that would have put them at 24-6 with less than a half to play. This not an unreasonable expectation given how the game was playing out to that point. I don't see it as a bad move to call the TO and hope for another possession. Now the comeback I've seen thrown out here is if it was such a good idea, why didn't Campbell call another TO after the next play? Again, this is very reasonable. The Vikings got a big gain on the next play (16 yards) so it seems less likely that the Lions would get a quick stop, so now you don't call another TO. That's honestly GOOD coaching. How many times do we see a team that's got just a little time left in a half try a play or two and if they don't good yardage just kneel and run out the clock. Is that bad coaching? No, it's testing the waters and then when things don't pan out you shift gears. I will be honest, during the game I also thought it was odd to call a time out then... but looking at the stats and situation after, I think it makes all the sense in the world. A defense was humming and just stopped a pass for two yards deep in Vikings territory, the chance for a quick 3 and out resulting in good field position was there. It was the right call.

From Vikings reddit:

killian is better than he was last year. unfortunately he was so bad last year that his improvement hasnt really helped all that much. bey has regressed mightily. stewart has been the same.

People have to understand that what you see a Head Coach do on the sideline is just small part of their job, perhaps even the least important part of it. Where Head Coaches make their difference is on the practice field and lockerroom and by all accounts that is where Campbell excels so even if you disagree with some of his in game decisions(despite the metrics saying Campbell was right) or if he makes a blunder like those back to back TOs a couple weeks ago that doesnt mean he's a bad Head Coach. You also got to keep in mind that this is his first year in this position, he wasn't even a coordinator before so I think it's fair to expect some growing pains. Any mistakes he makes on the sideline this year doesn't mean he's going to make them 2 or 3 years from now. Sometimes you have to be patient, the players love him and go the extra mile for him that is the most important thing give him time to work out some of the other kinks he may have. Edit: forgot about his time in Miami but my point still stands cause he's still relatively inexperienced in the position. We have seen countless situations where guys get better with experience.

Remember, Archie Bunker was a parody nearly 50 years ago.

I feel no need to trust the claims of someone who's also argued they weren't armed. If you didn't troll so much you'd have the benefit of the doubt.

Nice to know what Hugh Hewitt, Dan Bongino and friends of TFG are screaming about this morning. Nice to know it's all not about the VP's bluetooth

13% of Montreal speaks English. Since I don't want to speak with 90% of the population, it makes Montreal perfect.

yes, but the owners must be made out to be evil caricatures and the players to be saints. its a simple labor business negotiation with each side using whatever leverage they have to benefit their interests.

This dovetails into a pet peeve that has taken root in the past year or so: the synonymization of the words “misinformation” and “disinformation”. They are simply not the same, and NPR is a repeat violator of botching the difference. “Misinformation” is defined by the OED as “The action of misinforming someone; the condition of being misinformed” or “Wrong or misleading information”. Specifically, intent is not contemplated in the definition, the general idea (which you may have experienced in your own life) being that when someone is “misinformed”, you generally give them the benefit of the doubt that they tried to obtain the correct information, and that when they turned around and relayed such information to you, they thought they were dealing in the truth—but were instead misinformed. It’s fair to assume that they are trying to be honest actors. “Disinformation”, on the other hand, is defined by OED as “The dissemination of deliberately false information, esp. when supplied by a government or its agent to a foreign power or to the media, with the intention of influencing the policies or opinions of those who receive it; false information so supplied.” Differently from the word “misinformation”, malevolent intent is front and center in the definition of “disinformation”, the dissemination of which is, again, deliberate and with intention to influence those who receive it. People who spread disinformation know the information is wrong, know it’s a lie, and yet spread it anyway, typically for a clear purpose beneficial to them. There is no way red hats are being misinformed, because the people they are getting their direction from are not trying to be honest actors and deal in the truth. Instead, they are lying for gain. That's not misinformation. That's disinformation.

Did anyone say that? Just because some people don't actively dislike some decisions that others find questionable by Campbell doesn't me that we accept or like all decisions that Campbell makes.

Finally some discussion about the odd lack of response from the Pentagon to Jan 6.

We can't have this conversation until he can properly identify the specific car including make, model, year, engine size and transmission and in the exact terminology.

Gonna be a sad day for his cow.

well if....squints...."ceoworld magazine" says so then it must be true. lol. ridiculous.

i think it has to do with america's long history of extreme religious protestantism. our moralism about vices and "hang ups" on everything from sex to gambling and drugs/alcohol. but as to a point in time where the modern narrative surrounding baseball's issues with gambling, i think you are correct.

OMG. So I got this from my cat and he actually likes it. Talk about your Christmas miracles. Lol
