Started loudly yelling about how he was from Southie and he was more Boston than anyone there. They kicked him out in short order. It really is the dumbest loving pissing match.

hobbesmaster posted:Brady's age will catch up to him eventually. It already is, his production is not what it was. His stats look good because he's throwing much shorter routes than he used to, and taking fewer chances. But the idea that the Pats (or any other top-tier team) is going to jump on a 31 year old QB whose best season was 7 years ago (his second in the league) is far-fetched. I could see him going somewhere that needs an experienced QB to bridge the gap while they hunt for their long-term solution, but that solution isn't Kaep unless he's got some kind of miracle second wind.

Kaep is still probably better than a third of the starting QBs in the league because holy gently caress is there a lack of NFL compatible QB talent coming out of college.

NFL compatible means at least 8 TBI's right? We have been cutting back on those starting with the peewee leagues lately.

M_Gargantua posted:NFL compatible means at least 8 TBI's right? We have been cutting back on those starting with the peewee leagues lately. Honestly? Kaep getting the $60-80 million settlement (or whatever it was) and NOT having to play 4-10 years getting his head knocked around, suffering however many concussions and sub-concussion level hits over and over again is a pretty nice consolation prize. I know the dude wanted to play, and gently caress the NFL for blacklisting him, but he's gonna be away ahead of his peers in 30-40 years when it comes to brain function. I used to love football, but after reading up on CTE and all that poo poo, it kind of took away from the fun of it. The concussion poo poo was bad enough, but CTE is a whole other ball game (no pun intended).

Stadiums shouldnt be tax funded unless tax payers get returns on events. Ticket sales and consessions go to owners. Thats bullshit imo since they dont own the loving place. Players should be paid decently but not obscenely.

Rookies make roughly 500K/year their first couple of years averaged out, and the average NFL career is like 3 years. That's after doing all of the goddamned football for their youth and playing for free in college. If you're a rookie and only do 3 years and don't become a mid-tier pay longer-term player, you've just smashed your body/mind into the game nonstop from probably age 6 to age 25 and walk away with 1.5 million, pre-tax/expenses. And  if you are a rising star about to get mad contracts and then get hurt or something else that ends or significantly derails the career.

Flikken posted:Agreed but he was also arguing for less salary for the players. Not really no. More even distribution. Ill use soccer as an example since I know it best. Italian team Juventus just signed someone for 518,000 dollars a week. Not Ronaldo who is also on an equally obscene wage. Juventus obviously are the heavyweights and get more money from league tv rights and such. They own their stadium. Udinese also own their own stadium but is significantly worse off. In fact, the big money signing can pay for almost ALL of Udinese's wages (.7 million weekly). Same league, same colors, yet Juventus are allowed to do financially better due to a bunch of legit and not so legit business. Is it fair for one team to be able to inflate the median wage for athletes? What happens when that money isnt shared? Well, if you have seen Serie A at all, youll know Juventus are running away with their 8th staright league title. poo poo, the second place team a few years back had 91 points in second place. That is a good first place point showing over 36 games. But second place because other teams cant afford it. Media rights need to be more fair to the smaller teams, and part of that is imimenting something like a wage cap. poo poo, referees in some leagues have to work a second job. Media money is also heavily favored to the big name, and while I get it, the name shouldnt be taking a chunk large enough to create division. I think atheletes need to be paid what they are worth, but not so that they make half a million in a week. And to be clear, he makes more than Ronaldo does, who is a world class athlete and possible rapist. I think college athletes should be paid something. I think atheletes should also have opportunities for employment or what have you after retirement. So no, not all athletes should be paid less. Just the ones that make stupid money.

Here is part of why I lol at centrists. It's not that they agree with an idiot like Tim Poole, but people like him and his fans will occasionally try to look reasonable to court the centrists. Just asking questions, etc, and swearing they have no real dog in the fight over hotbutton issue X.  But then:  If someone doing all that bullshit feels at home with centrists and calls himself one, oh boy, centrists are hosed up. (Yes, I realize your average Joe American can barely name the VP, much less lovely internet political hacks who pretend to be journos)

Tim Pool is a real loving piece of work who is just barely able to keep it together enough for reactionaries to watch it and feel like they're serious intellectuals unlike those Infowars people.

mlmp08 posted:Discussion: having no facts and assuming someone is lying about an attack is lovely. Wait until such an allegation of false reporting is substantiated. I went back to see if I remembered how the initial incident was talked about in this thread, and I don't see any of this general systemic mistrust of victims of racial violence that you seem to be insinuating over the last few days happening. The very first responses were people sarcastically pointing out that a broken law enforcement system with a deeply-rooted history of systemic racism would probably end up not finding a racial motivation behind the crime. Even Chievache, the one you seem to be beefing with over this, condemned the perpetrators as "racists and homophobes" in the post where he pointed out that an attack that the victim itself reported as a random targeting of person of color seemed odd based on the fact that the perpetrators happened to casually have a noose ready to go. The only other posts I can find that are even remotely close to the way you're portraying the reaction of the thread are ones indicating there had to be more to the story, possibly even this having been a premeditated attack by racists (that must have been stalking him or seeking him out in some way), but made to look "random" for odd reasons. Then there are a couple of comments about not needing to immediately play devil's advocate, and the whole discussion basically ended after under two pages. I'm with you on the point where, a couple of days ago, unsubstantiated reports surfacing shouldn't be trusted until factual reports emerge, but I just don't see this picture you're painting of something really systemic being broken in the thread like it's full of MAGA idiots that immediately blame a victim of racial violence as a liar and would still double-down on that position even once an investigation supported their argument. I mean, as somone else pointed out, it's a thread to discuss current events. Let's discuss current events. If a story seems odd, I don't see why it shouldn't be discussed. And the story wasn't declared as "odd" by some posters because they were somehow having trouble acknowledging that there's a rampant problem with racism in the US, I don't think anyone in this thread has trouble admitting that.
