I am sure that is true but I think a lot of drama around the team will. If he becomes ineffective our talent pool isn't very deep. Bradshaw is first class but can he stay on the field. I should have said anything but the stat line screamed "same old, same old".
yep, goes without saying.

I am bored of this topic. I don't know how people stay so emotional about it.
-
If he is really, really good it will make the team great. If he is mediocre and there is no one to do better, we won't be so good. I am not a fan of TRich and I personally think he is a lost cause. But, that is just my opinion and I sure hope that I am very wrong about that and I will be glad to say so when it happens.
I think our success or failure may not rest exclusively on trich..

I love that this simple act of putting a name on a towel....rallied support for this family as they deal with such a trajic loss. So credit also to the fans who followed Manning in their support of the family. That's what made it even better.
people can be wonderful
-
I will admit that I did not see the game. It was not broadcast in Denver. I will watch when it is replayed. I went straight to that stat when I looked it up because I think TRich being productive or not is going to be a lot of what this team is about this year.
What?

Looks like i have to move to Ohio

Streaming is not illegal. Especially to view live television. That would make Youtube the most illegal website on the internet.
Streaming NFL games from any source other than the NFL is illegal
While there is legal streaming.............such as colts press conferences........here we are referring to illegal streaming.........such as streaming NFL games. And that is why the rule says
8.) No posting or requesting illegal online streaming links. No discussion about your use of illegal streaming links.
If it's ILLEGAL.......do not talk about how to do it here. And streamning NFL games is illegal. So we do not allow discussions about it.......including "message me about streaming sites" posts
hope that clears that up for you

I can understand your frustration
Not sure why they collected money for parking when there was no practice?
Anyhow the time change worked out for me. When I heard it was in the am I scurried into action. Got to see some practice and also saw Andrew Luck playing some kind of a game with Harnish.
They were facing each other and one would make a football move and the other would try to mimic that move as quickly as possible.
They were cracking each other and me up.
Weather was great.
Sorry again that you missed the announcement

Please no more of that

This thread has taken a turn for the better.
Thank you all.
my opinion is that he should not put himself in situations with people who will take pictures and post them to the wide world of web
Aside from that, I pity his wife
Aside from all that, I just don't want to see such pictures so.........eww on the girls that took them and posted them.......or whoever did that
not the best people in the world
-
Could you guys make an effort to remember that this is a famly friendly forum
No need to be extremely explicit
-
I think what Trich cost is passed. What draft pick was it that we missed that's got everyone still upset? He's not costing us much now so......the only reason I can think of for the heckling is that they like to hate.
kick em when their up, kick em when their down
They sure don't represent me.
-
its green and you buy things with it
I tend to agree
Either that or she really don't not understand the seriousness of what happened
or both
Most of us women live out our entire lives never being knocked out by our husbands. It's not normal at all
-
Of course, very good point on the cultural change.
However, not sure how far in this age it can be implemented in America.
Do you know the most safest country in the world for women?. UAE. I will tell you why it is safe there.
1. Pornography is banned.
2. Dating and adult based social media sites are banned.
3. Adultery and eve teasing has death penalty.
4. Women and men both cannot wear revealing clothes in public.
Women have total freedom and are absolutely safe. The above steps helps in preventing the violence to happen in first place.And i absolutely loved the lifestyle there.
Its impossible to give all access to the public and ask them not to leverage them in today's world. Sometimes, preventive measures ( similar to parental control ) is required.
I don't believe control needs to be external
We can all control ourselves
It's the assumption that we cannot........or should not be expected to that's the problem
We certainly don't need threat of death
People are going to mess up and do things. I don't want to kill them for it

So what Smith is really saying to boot is that Rice's fiancé should stay clear of him after all he can be provoked to extreme violence. But instead she married him. A far better point for Smith to make would have been why women stay in abusive relationships as Mrs. Rice is textbook for this behavior as she not only stayed in the relationship but married him a week later.
that's the part I reallly do not understand. Why did she marry him? Or at least, why didn't she postpone?
-
Wow , that's all I can say. Look, I'm all about protecting women, but raise our boys differently, that's like Chairmen Mao 's China . You teach all kids to respect each other, but you don't indoctrinate all boys in some kind of politically correct culture and point of view , because of the actions of a few. There is enough of that stuff going on already elsewhere. As for Ray Rice, other than this ,he has been a model citizen. He made a horrible mistake , has been penalized, and at least he made some sort of apology. As for Steven A , big deal , it's ESPN shock journalism.
you miss my point
Culture is responsible for this issue and only culture can change it.
For example, there is research that boys who view pornography..........develop a view of sexuality that objectifies women and once that's done........it is very hard to go back to being normal
We need to stop this 'boys will be boys' view that excuses bad behavior as normal and to be expected because boys are not responsible for their hormones.
They are responsible and generations before them were responsible. We should increase our expectations of their control over their own behavior
If you think that's brainwashing then I think you may well be part of the problem

I'd kick him off for good. Just like Sterling should be banned forever from ANYTHING in sports due to his racist comments.
I am sick and tired of people making excuses for stupid big mouthed men at times just because they are MEN. This country already treats women as stupid sex objects to make money then they throw it back in our faces if a guy gets mad or turned on.
I do think there is a problem with objectifying women. I recently read a piece by a woman who designs 'very modest' swim suits. She presented scientific evidence that whe man sees a woman in a bikini his brain scan shows that he sees her as a tool. And that, she says it why women should not dress that way.
I think that our culture plays a part in this and that is what we have to change. Raise our boys differently so they do not see women this way.
I mean there are cultures in the world where most people wear very little clothing and they are not attacking each other. So, for me, truly, the difference is culture.
I do understand that it's important to draw the line.
In this case, I think my view is also colored by the fact that she married him. I mean..........she chose to marry him after he demonstrated to her exactly what kind of man he is.
I do see her choosing to step into violence. I don't see her as someone who has no choice.
And I think that Steven's apology was genuine.........unlike Rice's
-
I read some of her mentions on twitter during the day of her tweets and it was horrible. You'd be amazed with how many cruel things were said in response to her tweets. Those responses showed how many people legitimately hate women and have no problem expressing their hatred for them. It's some messed up stuff to read.
Glad I missed that and I agree that there really are a lot of people who hate women and who justify violence against them.
But, I grew up with 4 brothers. They all will say some macho and even sexist sorts of things but, they would never hurt anyone. In fact they would really come down on anyone who did.
None of the men I've ever known ever would hurt anyone. So, I guess that's where my perspective is coming from. I am not among the statistics of battered women. But I have known women who are.
Some men, including some here, seem to put a lot of energy into justifying violence against women. I just don't think smith is one of them
-
Maybe he could have phrased it a little better
yeah but he just runs at the mouth
I've watched him enough to not believe he is blaming the victim
-
I can see Steven's point. I don't think he meant that women are responsible for provoking.
And I believe that Rice has almost all the responsibility here
But yes, to protect your life, a woman should not provoke a man who is inclined to knock out someone far smaller and weaker than him
That's advice that anyone would give.
I don't think Smith needs to lose his job over this. He's a talking head, he just talks nonstop and what he said here......didn't upset me.
I can see though if you are a victim of abuse how this might enrage you. But posting while raging is not fair.

It's only befitting to close this thread than have this Seinfeld thread (a thread about nothing) go on
and by popular demand,this thread is closed
-
Forgive me, do users here have to justify their motivations that as a result of your own superstitions, you find difficult to comprehend?
They do if they create a nonsense thread and then are rude to most people who post in the thread
seems like trolling
-
It is a jinx for people who willingly subscribe to such things.
So, what is the discussion point of this thread?
Because I don't see one
Khaled Holmes leg injury.

very well said. Whenever people get personal........the discussion spirals downward and other people who enjoy being rude chime in in kind.
But also in this thread you will see more people who stated their case civily and that is much more reflective of the entire board. I really appreciated that in this thread.
Also keep in mind, at times passionate football fans will have lapses in judgement. It's going to happen and it is rude but not the end of the world and certainly not reflective of the majority of people who post here. Although I can see how it would feel that way when someone is using words like ridiculous, mindless, ignorance, and nonsense.
Those words are pretty insulting and invite inkind responses.
So, all that used poor judgement.........you know who you are and please temper your posts
To the rest, thank you!
I really appreciated what you said here
