Those days will never come back. Kayfabe is dead and so is the "fun" aspect of wrestling. The irony here is that there are probably better wrestlers these days but the matches are kinda boring without the "spectacle/over the top" aspect gone.

Why would they let the GM who has struck out on more than one occasion pick another QB in the first round. Did you know that our GM never even considered Mahomes or Watson that year? He traded up one pick...lost a ton of draft capital in the process and picked Trubisky without any serious scouting of the other first round QBs.
You want that guy to pick again?
Yeah, but this isn't because I support Pace (or Nagy). I'm a Titans fan and I saw three draft franchise busts with 3 top 10 picks. And you know why they did it? The NFL now revolves around the qb. If you don't have one, you're pretty much screwed. So they have to keep on trying to find one. And no, Trubisky is not the answer. If you bring him back, basically you're going to be stuck in 9-10 win purgatory at best. A lot of this is luck too. I mean if the QB is a franchise qb, he'll overcome whatever shitshow and at worst show/demonstarte qb skills that you can build around. Case in point: Herbert from LAC. Coaching staff was awful yet he broke several rookie records while throwing to backup level WR for some games.
I forgot about this but the only "positive" about bringing these clowns back increases the chance of them bottoming out and finishing with an awful record and more or less forcing McCasky do a total flush and house cleaning of the organization. And obviously,better draft positioning to get a qb.
You follow the Bears, right? Is it more or less an open secret that the Northwestern Coach, Pat Fitzgerald (shit I'm getting old, remember watching him play in college in the 90s) is really interested in that job?

They need a couple days to make their argument before holding a formal vote, so today should be about setting up the impeachment proceedings. Though nothing is stopping Pelosi from holding an impeachment vote without a "trial".
You'll need 17 Republicans to join in the Senate to make it official. I guess we'll see if that happens in the next 7 days.
I'm skeptical they get 17 BUT the stuff McConnell leaked yesterday doesn't come out if he doesn't have the votes. And a big reason that they're cutting Trump loose this time is because the donations from big corporations to Republicans have basically stopped.

The French Connection. Can't believe it took me this long. Only in the 70s could Gene Hackman be a leading man.
That has one of my favorite chase scenes of all time. The one in the subway where Hackman and scheinder are trying to catch the Fernando Rey character. Love 70s cinema, there just something different about it.

I keep thinking you have to bring Trubisky (Trub is what my friends and I call him) then too because why not? It's not like you have any better options.
The defense gets another year older...and the offense stays the same; shitty.
No, they can't bring him back. Other options: draft a qb in Round 1, Jameis Winston, Cam Newton (in fairness he sucked), maybe trade for Sam Darnold. The best vet option for them might be Stafford from Detroit if they feel like trading him, but there's no chance in hell they are trading him to CHI.
Oh, Garapolo for SF might get cut, there's another guy.
Honestly, they just need to b ite the bullet and pick another qb in round 1. Also Chuck Pagano has retired. Defense might take a hit a little.

If you don't know the difference between what happened Wednesday and all those other things you posted, then you are pretty clueless. ALso the people currently "protesting" and protesting a lie that has been proven false by multiple judges, the FBI, the former attorney general etc...that makes it even worse.
#667 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 304 weeks ago
Wait this "actor" theory has been floating around? Trump and/his cultists must really think his supporters are real morons. That's one of the dumber things I've read.
Hasn't that Anti-fa was responsible for this been debunked by the FBI.
This is mind boggling for all the wrong reasons.
#668 Re: The Garden » Current Events Thread » 304 weeks ago
It starts when everything is turned upside down. What's up is down and what's down is up. What's right is now left...and so on...
They started this all off with the phrase 'alternative facts' where they reinvented everything except for the wheel itself. It was a new language where everything had to be the opposite of the way it was no matter what. Just backlash against everything, everywhere and turn it upside down.
Even the word "facts" is used incorrectly. It's more like reality does not suit my views so I'll just invent something (or call it fake) that is closer to my world view.
I mean you still have people posting in this forum who ardently claim that the election was dirty despite the fact that the Trump got slapped down on most of these frivolous lawsuits by Republican judges.
I'm not really sure how there is a divide on the attack at all. It's one of these basic black and white things that should be clear to anyone. I'm also happy that the FBI has branded these people as terrorists and put them on the no fly list. I notice that some of these people are upset and crying. Well what the hell did they think would happen? That they would get off scott free with no punishment at all?
#669 Re: The Garden » NFL 2019 » 304 weeks ago
I don't get it, awful. The owners talking now. GM &ownership won't be able to find a head coach willing to walk in without control on players. We're looking at assistant, assistant coaches.
It sounds like Roseman has too much power in that organization. Also means that Wentz stays in PHI. Takes another vet qb option off the market for teams like say the Colts or Bears.
I don't think CLE can beat KC. Their defense is pretty awful. I think KC just outscores them.

The question to me then becomes what counts as inciting violence.
Would a Trump/Q obsessed congresswoman tweeting Pelosi's location in the Capitol to the rioters count?
How about Cruz announcing he's leading the charge as the charge gets underway and a cop's getting beat to death?
Giuliani announcing minutes before the chaos that he wants trial by combat?
Trump ranting and raving about marching to the Capitol, specifically calling out his own vice president ,who immediately becomes a target and rioters are looking for him to hang him?
At what point are people willing to call a spade a spade?
Trump was right about his base....he said years ago he could murder someone in front of them and they'd still support him. That was a roundabout way of Trump saying his base is dumber than dogshit.
We almost had a decapitation strike on our VP and Congress and this corrupt, cowardly piece of shit still has people defending him.
For fucks sake....A bomb was placed outside each party's headquarters.
It's time for people to stop acting like this was a walk in the park and Trump was just innocently tiptoeing through the tulips.
It's scary that I don't know which one of those examples you posted is the worst. This goes beyond disagreements with policy or ideology. When you have some loon talking about putting a bullet through a leader in the House, that goes beyond this stuff.
And they got really close too, to the Senate if it weren't for some brave Capitol police officer who directed them away from the door to the chambers.
And you can be brutally honest and say what it is: he was the instigator of this act of terror brought upon the US this past Wednesday. And that's what it was an act of terror. Look at the images and read the stories that have come out the past few days.
And for what? Just because he couldn't stand that he lost. And he himself was the biggest reason why.
That is pretty funny. Trump, the most powerful man in the US suddenly can't find an outlet to speak or communicate.
