fight back doesnt mean shoot and kill. at least it doesnt to me. zimmerman initiated the confrontation. martin escalated it and ended up beating zimmerman. you can defend yourself without deadly force. i would have convicted zimmerman of something, but i'm not sure what? it wasnt a cut and dry case for sure, but i wouldnt absolve zimmerman for any fault that occurred. in the every day vernacular: "zimmerman started it."

killian does play good defense. got to give him that.

that's what i want from cade. threes.

isnt that sequence why cade isnt youre typical #1 pick? green has his flaws but can get to the rim and make an occasional 3. cade gets wacked at the rim and cant finish. cade is best with the ball in his hands and threatening to shoot 3s. but if that's the case, how does he play with killian who cant shoot, and if he doesnt have the ball in his hands he is useless in this offense?

you cant run an offense with killian standing in the corner.

i dont see it this year. they are really thin and two of their top contributors are rookies who is suspect will tire as the season goes on. and i still feel like yzerman may deal someone like leddy at the deadline.

sure, but they also look much more organized.

the republicans running mtg is a democrats' wet dream. elizabeth warren might even be able to best her... of course the democrats would probably nominate cori bush just to make it a fair fight on the ol' national unelectable scale...

but she doesnt get away with it, she is extremely unpopular.

has there been an american female candidate who embraced it like thatcher? An "iron lady" who embraced her inner bit...ummm...cantankerousness? i dont know if that would fly in america on a national scale.

its not a bigger story than trump's personality issues. people were very motivated to vote against trump for those reasons. but it was an issue for warren.

i agree. i would say its a personality thing. it has a lot to do with her being a woman too.

i have those old dr suess books. i'm hoping they go up in value one day so i can get $5 for them!

i dont think she's boring, i her personality rubs people the wrong way and she's hamstrung herself with the native american stuff. people have formed their opinions about her.

another underrated aspect of the primary campaign was biden's perceived control of "the center." a lot of candidates who could have been really good centrist candidates (imo) like harris and sort of buttigieg (who tried a little harder to straddle the line) instead chose to tack to the left and go for those votes instead (especially harris). the road was open for harris to be "obama like" and be a centrist, prosecutor technocrat and she chose to triple down on being the twitter candidate. i mean, when asked about medicare for all they all raised their hands except kloubachar, i think. in fairness to them, the candidates who tried to remain in the center (kloubachar and sort of buttigieg) never got any traction. the dems nominating warren would be a gift to the gop. an old white woman liberal from TAXachusetts? that's the perfect liberal to run against. add in the native american stuff that they will continually bring up and she'd get slaughtered.

isnt this the one time theyre on espn all year?

(ojabo in top 25, dax hill too) corral the top qb at 16. pickett rising fast into top 25. willis in the 30s. howell in the late 40s. lots of receivers in the teens.

a truly, truly reprehensible figure in college sports. the embodiment of hypocrisy in the college game and the two tiered treatment by the ncaa of its preferred schools. nobody cheats as bad as duke, but nothing will ever happen to them as long as dick vitale and jim nantz continue to believe the lie that 5* recruits go there for free.

we already have ample proof of that.

does his age worry you?

i think they put him there to showcase him. he's seen as a future prez candidate, imo. and certain elements of the internet will complain that he's not a "person of color" no matter whether he's gay or not. they complained about it a lot when he was running for prez the last time. i suppose warren will run again. bernie wont, he's too old. i'm wondering if this is aoc's time? probably too early.

i havent watched it. the press coverage hasnt been very flattering to the prosecution.

i think obama was a unicorn. he's a really good politician and struck all the right cords. i dont see another obama out there right now for the democrats. but buttigieg has potential, its why he's in the cabinet. i had hopes for kloubachar too. the biggest thing for the next democrat is that the economy has to pick up and trump has to run again. trump running again will motivate the democrats like nothing else.

i have a hard time believing she will be. she isnt a very good politician. or at least she wasnt when she ran the first time. maybe they can fix up her image?
