  1. Depends on how fast you could get the punt off, but yeah, of you could catch it and get it off in the right amount of time as well as punt it 200 yards you'd be pretty sought after.

    Tyranny closing in

    I think you'd have a pretty high hit rate on what folks' beliefs are. And I'm quite sure you're very unique and complex so that wouldn't apply to you, but in general it's probably not inaccurate.

    Tyranny closing in

    I remember a story about 15 years ago, before stores and marketing were as sophisticated as it is today. Target was sending pregnancy ads to some family's house addressed to the teenage daughter. The father got all pissed and went to target to complain that they were marketing pregnancy stuff to his teen. Turns out they knew she was pregnant because she bought like a certain bag and some lotion or some shìt. Then target started burying the targeted ads in with other stuff so it didn't look as creepy. Moral of the story is it's pretty easy to figure out people from a few data points.

    To be fair, a lot of times you can tell what people think by what they write. I don't get why everyone thinks they're so much more complex and unique than everyone else. The whole Cambridge analytics thing, Facebook, AI, etc. is based on the fact that it's pretty easy to extrapolate beliefs based on a few data points.

    Todays makes the third time

    The vast majority of people have never totalled a car in their lives. I get everyone thinks they're the greatest driver in the world, but if you've totaled two cars because people pulled out in front of you, you're probably not driving carefully enough. Fault or no fault.

    Wait. It was a study? Oh, that makes it easy. Guys just say it's flawed.

    Will Travis Kelce Retire After The SB ?

    He's had too many jabs. He'll die during the game and we'll have Taylor weeping over his lifeless body.

    I assume this some spoof of another thread, or are you really that bad at driving?

    I'm rooting for Taylor to get her first super bowl ring. I think those kids are going to make it.

    Another worthless study.
  13. Not really the max. He stole thousands of returns and only got charged for one of them. 5 years though seems about right to me. This whole undermining democracy angle the judge is taking it too far though.

    NFL games fixed?

    Man, people really believe he wasn't fixing games. There was a giant ESPN piece where the guy he was working with described it. I'll probably never understand people's unwillingness to acknowledge the obvious.

    NFL games fixed?

    This is a bizarre conversation. An NBA ref went to jail for fixing games, and people are saying there is no way games are fixed.

    Lamar to flop today

    The chiefs did have a good defensive game plan. They kind of did that mush rush thing to try to contain his scrambling. Then they knew he's less effective throwing outside the numbers so they clogged the middle of the field and dared him to go outside. That's the default game plan, but the Ravens had an answer. They just kept trying to take the underneath stuff, but they weren't disciplined enough to not shoot themselves in the foot with a turnover or penalty. Part of that is on Lamar for sure. Part of being great is not getting board taking what the defense gives you. That's where Josh Allen struggles too. They love to say they're happy just handing off or taking the checkdowns, but they always get bored and want to start chucking it.

    LOL... Levis? Come on, dude. Rodgers is 50 on a bum Achilles. Stafford is what? 35? 36? Dak is just as bad in the post season. Cousins has never won anything Lawrence is overrated. You must really think Lamar sucks if you'd take these guys over him.

    Lamar to flop today

    I think it's about right. If you factor in contracts, I'd want Mahomes, Allen, Burrow, Herbert, and then I'd add Stroud since he has four years left on his rookie deal. You might be able to make a case for Hurts, but I'd rather have Lamar even at the bigger cap hit. Stafford has just as bad of a cap hit as Lamar, so I'd rather have Lamar. If it's just talent and not salary, I'd go mahomes, Allen, burrow, and that's it.

    He actually said he influenced games by up to 6 points. The whole insider knowledge thing doesn't get you arrested.

    I don't know about close to 0. An NBA ref was doing it. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2007_NBA_betting_scandal

    Chiefs defense might be the best unit on the field.
