    Not acceptable behavior for a presidential candidate

    His bullying tactics don't bother me at all. Every politician engages in bullying tactics. You're just confused because they pull the wool over your eyes as career/polished politicians while Trump is a celebrity who entered politics and doesn't care if he ruffles feathers. The politicians you are used to ruffles feathers after they leave office and we discover the toxic stuff after the fact. His first 4 years in office were far more successful than anything Joe Biden has accomplished to date. Sorry, it's just true. throwing out comparisons to Hitler, Stalin etc just because his brashness triggers you is lazy. You believe we live in a democracy, right? (even though we really don't) but it's not a dictatorship. You can hate everything the man does but he will never be a dictator. The same way Biden is not a communist.

    Dallas Cowboys 2018 & Beyond

    It’s all good. Maybe you’re too hung up on me saying zeke. I could have said TD Lenny, or someone else but Zeke is the obvious player to point to because it would have been seamless. Dallas had a lot of cupcake opponents this year. I dont even want to take away from their offensive achievements or points scored but being one dimensional can still work until you get exposed. Scoring points doesn’t mean balanced. They played on a lot of games where the run game didn’t really matter and Dak threw for 3+ scores and/or 300 yards 7 times. He had his best season by far.

    No because I didn’t say you keep zeke and get rid of pollard lol. I didn’t say the issue was zeke wasn’t there to be their lead back lol. There is no comparison between zeke and Stevenson . Dallas is a better offense than New England. Better QB, better line, better receivers to open up the box. Better young tight end. I think letting zeke go and not having a role for him was a mistake. Pollard as a workhorse was not good and often made them one dimensional. Perhaps zeke as a 1B and in situational usage could have helped. Again he knows the system so I’m not just throwing out a random older back.

    Agreed it is a bullying tactic that he likely used in business and has already had success with in politics. as I said above, politics is a game and this is the way he plays it. It’s been successful. Just because that bothers you doesn’t discredit its success.

    You realize all of politics is just a game, right? just because you don’t like how Trump plays the game doesn’t make it wrong. plus he’s going to win the game

    I’m not a Dallas fan. I’m looking at it objectively. Zeke knew the system, has a relationship with Dak, would have been in a significantly better offense in a complementary role and can still do good work in the pass game. correct, backs are just not valuable anymore but Dallas was one dimensional far too often.

    You need to look at things further. The Pats o line was not as good as Dallas. once cut, he was cheaper for the Pats… 4 mil guaranteed vs. the 10 mil franchise tag on pollard. and he did good work in the pass game. The bigger point was that making Pollard a workhorse didn’t pan out

    Dallas Cowboys 2018 & Beyond

    I actually don't quite know where to begin with a team as overall talented as Dallas. Is Jerry a big part of the problem? absolutely. At the same time, it's hard to fault an owner who cares about winning when my own team has an owner who has always been obsessed with the back page and PSLs. I feel like we have even seen Jerry take a step back, as GM, when it comes to draft picks he wants to make versus the right pick and listening to the team around him. As crazy as it sounds, one of the things that really held them back this year was not finding a way to bring Zeke back. He filled in pretty nicely on a bad patriots team, especially in the short passing game, while Tony Pollard looked cooked all season. Not that it had to be Zeke... he's just an easy example but I'm sure they didn't expect their 26 year old, new lead back to just get to 1,000 yards on a 4.0 average with 6 total TDs. Dan Quinn's defense got gashed against the Packers.... but games happen. He led a top 5 defense for most of the season. It's hard to not have an occasional bad game, the way the NFL is skewed toward offense these days. Between MM and Dak, as much as I love Dak, it may just be time to finally admit he is a regular season, Romo-esque QB. Give MM all the flak you want but solid head coaches are hard to come by. How many college coaches have we seen fail to transition? How many highly coveted coordinators have failed as HCs, only to go back to being good coordinators? Look at Brian Daboll. Everytime I watch the guy coach, and everything I hear about him and read about him tells me he is likely one of those guys who should be an O-coordinator, not a HC. Talented QB's don't grow on trees either, but they also get paid a hell of a lot more. I picked Dallas in a big playoff pool (already had futures bets on San Fran and Baltimore from a while back)... but really it wasn't hard to see this coming as soon as they drew Green Bay. yes... TLDR
  10. Yeah change that. I had missed one of their lines “Jess: As a queer person, as a person in a female body, as a person in white skin, as an artist, I have wondered and struggled with, like, how do I make a difference?” probably a they/them

  12. haha. I just googled but I think that name is for the other, less popular meme
  13. edit: not the meme I was thinking of... nevermind.

    Taylormade: Official Discussion

    The big manufacturers churn out new $500 drivers every other year. Not worth it at all. At some point, yes the club head tech will be worth it over what you have but not that often. The shaft is the key anyway I still game an original m2 driver. I’m sure I’ll try out the qi but I’d be surprised if I’m compelled to “upgrade”

    Cj stroud, tyreek
  19. I can't think of a HC in the playoffs who needs to do anything specific to keep their job. Tomlin will make his own decision and deserves to. Harbaugh has been there a while and I suppose getting the #1 seed and being bounced by Houston or Pitt could lead to a 'message is getting stale' situation? Would be a bad decision though. this was McCarthy's 4th? season as HC. 2 playoff appearances and 1 win in his first 3 seasons. 2 division titles including this year... it would have to be a blowout loss to Green Bay today.

    Cryptocurrency

    honestly I never even bothered to know that I could transfer crypto off of robinhood. The times I have used robinhood to trade ETH, I was just looking at it like a stock and didn't really care about my actual ether so to speak. I just wanted no fee's and to then pay my capital gains tax at the end of the day. That is good to know though if I wanted to trade SOL though, i'd probably dust off my coinbase account that I have not used since my first ETH trade. Since SOL is not available on robinhood.

    originally I was going to go with Tyreek but I didn't trust the miami offense in the bitter cold so I reworked things and wound up with no Dolphins. Obviously Tyreek would have been a fine "1 and done play" regardless with his touchdown. everyone took CMC aside from Bifflager
