BlindSite posted:Not everyone thinks about politics at all times. Besides. Hatred for Cordon has bipartisan support. Its something we can all come together on, everyone of every nation, race, creed and religion can all agree he sucks. Sure, but the post the was essentially “they were successful in America because of their poo poo politics” but (Overton window) framed as a (good) joke. Guess not everyone has reading comprehension at all times

Forrest on Fire posted:Same way James Corden and Ricky Gervais did, through the Overton Window This was the post they were responding to when they said they didn’t realize it was about the brits’ politics, but the whole joke is based on the Overton window so it’s pretty explicitly about politics. Maybe the Overton window is more obscure than I thought? My parenthetical comments were just to contrast Forrest on Fire’s good joke as opposed to my stupid Overton window frame pun Anyways, apologies, it’s been a day; back to our regularly scheduled football chat

Cavauro posted:"look over there. quickly, look over there." - albert einstein "...a paradox upon which I had already hit at the age of sixteen: If I pursue a football with the velocity c (velocity of light in a vacuum), I should observe such a football as an electromagnetic field at rest though spatially oscillating. There seems to be no such thing, however, neither on the basis of experience nor according to Madden’s equations. From the very beginning it appeared to me intuitively clear that, judged from the standpoint of such a player, everything would have to happen according to the same laws as for a defender who, relative to the earth, was at rest. For how should the first player know or be able to determine, that he is in a state of fast uniform motion? One sees in this paradox the germ of the S2 cognitive test is already contained."

fartknocker posted:They need to retire 84 first. Well now I’m really confused. Here’s the list of their retired numbers: Fran Tarkenton #10. Mick Tinglehoff #53 Jim Marshall #70 Korey Stringer #77 Alan Page #88 Cris Carter #80 So Cris Carter is the most recent, and he retired 21 years ago. Did they get new ownership that is morally opposed to retiring numbers or something e: Zygi took over in 2005, so maybe?

Grittybeard posted:Retiring numbers in the NFL for very old franchises is oddly kinda hard I think, with the NFL's numbering system. Until...well at least somewhat recently compared to history (it's been a good while) you could only wear 80s if you were a WR. So you could suck up a number that you'd never use again and if you do that too often no matter how much it's deserved eventually you run out of numbers. I figured that was part of it, but the 20s are wide open, and as you mentioned it’s not as relevant anymore with the new numbering system e: Here’s who’s in the ring of honor excluding non-players: Jared Allen Matt Blair Bill Brown Joey Browner Cris Carter Chris Doleman Carl Eller Chuck Foreman Steve Jordan Paul Krause Jim Marshall Randall McDaniel Randy Moss Alan Page John Randle Korey Stringer Scott Studwell Ahmad Rashad Fran Tarkenton Mick Tinglehoff Kevin Williams Ron Yary So assume in Peterson’s case it is a five year wait or something. Has any team ever unretired a number? OJ maybe? Pontius Pilate fucked around with this message at 02:23 on Aug 7, 2023 |

Eh, the arrowhead plus the name is clearly meant to evoke indigenous folks and that’s Weird in 2023. Not to mention that chant, but I suppose that’s not technically uniform chat. Odd how the crowd does that chant instead of a political cheer for that mayor tho, wonder where they got that idea from

Bip Roberts posted:It's like how Rambo 2 was based on the myth that there were tens of thousands of POWs in Vietnam that Washington knew about but wasn't willing to get. All those POW and MIA flags I saw as a kid took on a different meaning when I learned the history of it. One of my “favorite” bits was Nixon using it to drag along peace talks and the north Vietnamese being like 1) that’s not real and 2) even if it were, that’s not how war works.

It’s funny because he claims he would’ve had the most catches ever in a super bowl and beat Rice’s super bowl yardage record by 40 yards, if only he hadn’t been injured (and his injury was transferred to kupp)
