    TNF Discussion: Commanders at Eagles - Week 11

    The announcers were all over Jalen Carter's jock, and on the very next snap he gets absolutely pancaked by the right guard. Then Daniels throws a pick to Blankenship. Oy.

    Why didn't they just take the lead?
  3. Dang, Tim, in the case of the lib chick yelling in the face of the toddler, all you needed to see was a microphone in the dad's hand to know he was instigating. This lady is telling you point blank her side of the story, and you need documents or else she's a liar. Look within yourself, bro.

    That's messed up. I don't know anything about him, but I looked him up and I can tell this is true just looking at him. Fry his ass.
  5. That's a weird one. I wonder what the basis of the warrant was.

    You seem very passionate about field goal length bonuses.

    Old Maid to the White Courtesy Phone Please

    Problem with Newsome is that he's an absolute shìtbag as a person. He'll fool people for awhile, but under the scrutiny of a presidential race, he'll be too unlikable.
  8. Lots of room for grey area here but I think the Tim/MDC take is probably the closest to truth. Although I think they're underselling the issue. Lady committed the violation. Bosses probably new to some extent and didn't care, but that's not necessarily a sign of malintent so much as incompetence (probably a mix of both) as I'd estimate 75% of managers in the corporate world will bury their head in the sand before they fix go out of there way to fix a problem. It's probably 85% in an org like FEMA that seems pretty half-ass. To me, her interview told me a few things. She's not very bright. That's her A game right there, and she sounds like an idiot. She clearly doesn't fully understand the implications of what she is saying, and someone clearly coached her to lean on the avoidance policy, but she did it rather clumsily because she doesn't realize she's not playing in her usually pond of complete incompetence for which no one cares and every word she says is going to get parsed to death. She thinks she can provide some hand waving excuse like her organization usually allows and she'll get away with it. That of course will be fine for trump haters, and they'll line up to defend her of course so she does have that going for her from a tactics standpoint. Conclusion: She likely acted without direct instruction but rather with mild complicity from incompetent leadership. I do believe her that this behavior is likely more prevalent then just her because this is a culture issue and bad culture spreads through an organization. The fact that she was comfortable stating to skip trump houses so brazenly in an email tells me that. That should've raised questions and objections from staff and should've had to be adjudicated at a higher level. I don't believe this is endorsed policy, but rather it's completely incompetent management. So as usual, the answer is somewhere in the middle.

    Dude wants to use the term "reproductive rights" in lieu of right to abortion, but gets mad because he made up that someone said reproductive rights has something to do with a right to reproduce. Weird dude.

    Trevor Lawrence (done?)

    Weepaws, if you could get the exact same team and also have Burrow, or draft a wr or RB a round early and end up with a QB like Trevor Lawrence, which one is better? That's rhetorical. I know you won't even understand the question. You've got a decent grasp on the basics... Rote memorization with no understanding of why you do what you do. Simply learned through trial and error. When you ascend to a higher understanding, you will realize this. I'm afraid, for now, you are yet to achieve the skill necessary to understand the concept I am explaining. That's okay. Your strategy is a fine way for a novice to play, and can certainly win. Not everyone needs to be elite.
  11. We should make a maga FEMA and a woke FEMA. Just check a box of your political affiliation, and as long as someone from the other team doesn't see it before getting to the proper agents, you'll get some help.

    Trevor Lawrence (done?)

    Weepaws, what I'm saying is sometimes it's clear and obvious none of the players in a specific range of the draft are going to be good. That allows for you to register in some cases from a standard strategy. This is a rather advanced way of thinking. I can explain it to you in more detail when I get more time.

    Trevor Lawrence (done?)

    Usually there is a dead zone in the draft where I'll take the best QB available. It's usually in rounds 4, 5, 6, or 7. This year I didn't really see a zone where the value just wasn't there except maybe the end of the second. And this is where weepaws is coming to come in and say he drafted someone awesome in the second. I get it, weepaws.

    Tua went after Lawrence in my draft. How was he overpriced?

    Trevor Lawrence (done?)

    I had Tua, but even before his concussion, the offense didn't look quite right to me, so I dropped him and ended up with a combination of Fields and Darnold, and now Russell Wilson/Darnold. I'm holding it together with duct tape and bubblegum because I know the wheels are going to come off on Darnold and I'm not sure if I can trust DangeRuss.

    Nah, I'm just going to eliminate the length bonuses.

    Jessica Alba at 98 and Jennifer love hewitt at 107 are the most underrated in my opinion. I'd have Alba top 10 pretty easily and Hewitt at least top 20. Then of course, let's derail this whole thing... Check out 140.
  18. I'm implying that the people they could get were probably not the most discerning, trained, educated, or skilled in dealing with stressed out counterparts. So being temp is directly impactful to that. Your reference of being a temp employee was perceived as an effort to sweep the situation under the rug - after you threw out 8 words condemning it and followed it up with 8000 words saying why it's not a big deal of course.

    Discussion of Concerns for Trump Presidency

    I guess we're talking everyone in their prime, right? I'd agree prime Johansson is underrepresented on the list. So is prime jolie and prime Megan Fox. Maybe there is a longevity component to consider.
  20. If I was FEMA, I'd have everything go through lawyers from this point forward. The narrative that some anecdotes of trump supporters being beligerent from temp workers is going to establish enough correlation to drive even loose policy isn't going to hold up unless they get busy fabricating evidence.

    Preach. Margot Robbie should be top 3 at least. I'd have Gadot first and Robbie second. Kate Beckinsale should be top 10.

    Yeah, you guys haven't caught on to The Party's favorite tactic of changing language to spin a narrative. It's not abortion anymore. It's reproductive rights now. See if you take away the reproductive rights, you are essentially forcing women to have sex and birth babies. If you take away abortion, there's a shift of accountability for getting pregnant in their that The Party can't abide.
  23. That whole line doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Do they regularly document who victims support politically in order to correlate that to incidents? And how do we know the FEMA workers themselves weren't more hostile towards trump supporters. That whole line of logic is fraught with issues if there isn't facts and data showing that correlation. Although I'm sure some loyal centrists in FEMA are hard at work fabricating that data now.
