    >I am not sure what kind of enforcement there really is if one is found for lying about it. At least in my very specific neck of the woods, none at all. It came down a couple years ago that we may ask the person if it's a service dog, and if they say yes, we must accept that answer and not ask any more questions. In practice that really just means never asking in the first place. But I've had people insist that because it's a service dog (no it wasn't) that they didn't need to abide by leash laws (yes they do).

    I just want to take a moment and appreciate that this comment was made without sarcasm.

    How about a late resurgence from the Packers sees them win a bunch of games at the end, only to miss the playoffs on a tiebreaker. Rodgers decides to keep playing because he's making too much money not to, but he's clearly lost it. But the late run is enough to convince top brass that the coordinators are geniuses and they're retained. The first-round pick is then spent on a safety.

    Either Rodgers is over the hill or his thumb is bad enough he shouldn't be playing or both. No accuracy on his deep throws anymore and even his short stuff isn't that great. Even his body language says he's just totally given up. Certainly can't help with the staff he has to throw to. Then you'd think if you can't pass you'd make this a running team with arguably the best RB combo in the League, but Dillon must have insulted MLF's mother or something.

    Hopefully as streaming gets bigger we'll start to be able to select from different options of commentary. I've always wanted to hear football games from a coordinator's perspective and what strategies are and how they should change. I got to watch a game with a former NFL player once and I was all anxious because I figured he'd note all these things that I wasn't seeing, but instead he spent the whole time questioning the manhood of every defensive back who avoided making a tackle.

    Just finished watching the game and this is like a bad joke. Whatever downfield accuracy Rodgers used to have is totally gone. And not just being injured this week, because it's been every week this season. I've heard a lot of commentary about how defenses are playing GB short and daring them to throw deep and you can really see why this game. If it's not throwing into safety coverage it's just missing the throw. So if you're not a good passing team you need to be a good running team, right? So exactly where is even the smallest effort to become a good running team? Plus the Packers are running on early downs too often which is the opposite of what you want to do to develop a running game. Throw for five yards on 1st down and then run run run. Instead Jones is being treated like he's just some ordinary back and Dillon like a scrub off the practice squad. I'd love to hear even one thing the HC, OC, DC and O-Line coach have done to deserve the paycheck they're getting.

    Just came out of the interview for the promotion. If rumors of the other applicants is true I should have a good shot at the offer. I've decided that IF I get the offer, I'll accept on the condition that I be able to interview for another park opening which should probably happen soon. Socially, moving would mean two golfing buddies instead of none (since my friend here is likely to move), back to my old church, and a lot more day shifts means I could pursue more athletic/social clubs. Same pay instead of a 30% bump is a hit, but it seems to me that the social improvements would make it worthwhile. There's a nervousness in being told I can apply but magically not being the best candidate to actually get it, though I'd just have to lean on my supervisor who's been up-front with me about all other things. I've been told there's no policy against it, but realistically I'm sure HR isn't keen on someone accepting one position only to have them try and get out of it a couple weeks later.

    Maybe the two-hand-touch rule for QBs.

    But don't soccer teams play a lot of games against other countries' soccer teams a lot? I'd think if our major sports teams played against Russia and Germany and Argentina a lot, you'd see a lot more Anthem singing just for the bigger nationalistic feeling of the situation.

    Along with Keystone, Biden also halted leases for exploration and drilling on federal land and stopped much of the environmentally sensitive drilling in Alaska. Certainly the results of that take two years, but gas prices are speculative and not based on immediate supply, so a president does effect prices. The EPA has become harder to work with for oil companies, plus when an incoming president says "We're going to get rid of fossil fuels" and "We're going to phase out fossil fuels" that effects investment and prices. My biggest beef with politicians of all sorts is they tout their country going greener, but from what I've seen they don't so much replace existing generation with alternatives, but rather they just have some other country make the mess for them.

    Has Rodgers just gotten so used to targeting one WR that he doesn't much look around for other options? You'd think in a WR group where nobody particularly stands out as great that the ball would be spread around more with not everything going to Cobb. Even if Watson played would he have seen more than maybe two targets? So how many first-rounders does a team need on defense before it's good? There's always going to be room to pick on individual players here and there, but the overall talent is a world above pretty much everyone. We don't blitz despite having good CBs and why do we play zone so much? I don't recall a single moment in the game where it seemed like the Giants were having a hard time completing a pass. 5.0 yards per pass against the Giants. 4.7 yd rushing average and we ran it all of 20 times despite having the lead or it being close most of the game. Dillon with a 5.7 carry average and he got a whopping 6 carries.

    Biden has also lifted a bunch of sanctions against Venezuela, so we'll be buying their oil soon enough. I'm sure we can still expect a spike in prices, but maybe not a terribly drastic one.
  13. GAME05
    I'll be interested in seeing how Lopez does this season and if he has any further decline in his ability to defend a pick-and-roll. I could see that as being an issue and certainly expect the team to make a deadline addition at the 5. If Giannis can keep up the relatively good FT shooting he started showing he's probably winning himself another MVP.

    Darn, looks like I gotta pass up box seats for a Thanksgiving game this year.

    A combined Yelich/Hader is about $40M and not even a big-spending team would have valued them at that. Maybe $30M and even that's pushing it. It would have to be a heck of a player or prospect the Brewers would have to include to make up for that difference.

    Leonard isn't going to turn down a job in Green Bay and stick with Wisconsin if it didn't come with some promises made by UW that he'd be able to stick around. I get that the media wants to throw out other names to add intrigue, but Leonhard getting the permanent role seems downright obvious. The only hitch would be if he only wants to be a defensive coordinator and doesn't have an interest in head coaching, but that would be surprising.
  17. GAME05
    I don't think Lazard hurts opportunities for everyone else. Feels like the Packers would much rather use him as a downfield blocker to spring others than as any big catching option. If Doubs or Watson can show they don't have brick hands I'm sure they'll start getting way more targets.

    Trevor Lawrence was way better last year than his numbers indicate. He was moving around well and generally making all the right reads. It's starting to look like Fields may not be the guy in Chicago, though. Granted, he's got absolutely zero talent around him.

    At work all our windows are like that but a much larger version. In the winter we don't remove the screens but just screw a big piece of plywood over it. Assuming you already have a fan in the bathroom I'd be more inclined to remove that window and seal the whole thing shut.

    Maybe the whole field vibrates.

    I like the idea of a microchip in the ball to see where the spot is, although the technology is mostly negated by having to figure out just when the player's knee was down. I like the sideline light for the playclock idea. Or even a sound of some sort which kinda counts down the 2-1-0. NBA has that with their shot clock and they seem to be able to handle the difference between that buzzer and the ref's whistle.

    After two years on the waiting list I finally got my email from Starlink for service. Though they said the area was at capacity, so I can have it, but I'd be low-priority if use was getting maxed out, and I'd only be bumped up when it comes open. Though I read that you typically can't take the satellites with you when you move because they're tied to your GPS location. And there's a 5% chance I'll be moving in the next six months, so the email will be left unanswered. Not gonna pay for a $550 box if it's useless in six months.

    It's really easy to get disability. Just tell the doctor you have anxiety or a bad back and boom there ya go. In my state, unless you obviously deserve it, you'll always get denied on your first application but never denied by your final appeal. Disability is the new welfare and the system is pretty broken. Unfortunately it can lead to stuff like that where people who really need stuff like close parking spaces being hugely inconvenienced by people who don't.

    Isn't there a limit this year to how many players a team can put on short-term IR? Maybe having depth and Jenkins coming back they're better off just leaving him on the roster to heal up. Plus leaving him on the roster means he can participate in practice at whatever level he's at rather than sitting out completely.

    It's all like watching Fielder leave or knowing he's going to not because we didn't want to keep him, but because we simply can't afford to compete with the big boys.
