So... whatcha doin' during the bye week?

[Soliel]

Was just reading about that, and trying to intelligently digest it, sure it was unsportsman like conduct, and how and where it effected the game , is what i questioned Did the punishment fit the crime, and are we getting that soft in a gladiator sport, (not sure if i can call it that with Yale/Havaard ) but you get the point,

Could be a interesting thread

Caused by dumbing down of society and pc garbage. Yes, it was unsportsmanlike conduct but should have been a kickoff penalty or anything other than taking six off the score board

anything other than taking six off the score board

that we agree, but what about the next time?
i evenly dont want players mooning, flipping off other players when i am watching, especially with children. what are we going to teach them, like i said, i fully agree six off the board here is a bit much for me, but....

I’d do it like this. If you do anything like that, the player is ejected from the game.

watching NFL games

Binge watch Narcos -Mexico

 

[denverpatsfan]

I will be working on the house remodel project. We are into year two. I might join the GF out to watch the 2nd half of the Eagles game. As much as it pains me. Saints are poised to win another super bowl so would like to see them live.

Maybe I’ll sell some old comics on eBay too, how do you find out what they are worth to sell?

The quickest way to find out what a comic is worth right now... is to accurately grade it, then look for comics with that grade that have sold on eBay. You should also get the Overstreet price guide, depending on how many comics you have. I have (had?) 12 long boxes full of them, so... yeah, I'm a geek. LOL (but thank God, a Marvel geek! )

The penalty occurred before the play was over, before the TD, so it was called 100% correctly. To make any other call would be the ref making it up as he goes along.

I was fine with the penalty.

Sure, the whole occasion is about taunting each other -- the students, the bands (even MIT trying to get in on the act and pranking the whole thing). And you've got to admit that, if taunting is a human need, these privileged kids can't decently do that to too many people so they may as well do it to each other. And it's witty and totally good-humoured.

But it shouldn't be done by the players themselves because they are playing a violent game (the Harvard QB was taken off at the end with what looked like a really bad injury after a Yale player went into him as he was sliding) and they should play it hard and fair and with respect IMHO. What's more, how witty is sticking up a finger? About as witty as "Yankees Suck".

Gonna watch Texans-Redskins. No offense but I like what they are presenting now, I mean Houston.I wish them only one loss - with Pat's in the Conference Final.
In the meantime I will listen to some Bowie's songs to have a good mood during the game.

that is a much more sensible response

well the yankees do suck, if you are speaking about the NYY, but if you are speaking bout us wankers on the other side of the pond.. we gladly will kick your butts again

all good in humor, i get the penalty, thing and why its enforced, but to take points off the board because you are show boating in a gladiator sport, i question the mentality,and the point of enforcement, like i said, it would be good topic but it would also get too heated

Absolutely -- though I am puzzled by your reference to the War of 1812.

 

[PatsWickedPissah]

Gonna watch the Squealers I think. Will head to the gym and watch while making my cardiologist happy. I hope.

 

[Hyped]

I tried to do the same, but the wife nixed the idea. Something about needing to give Thanksgiving its proper respect. I tried explaining that I was planning on eating turkey regardless, and that starting on the decorating wouldn’t distract me from being grateful for my blessings, but she wasn’t having it.

Yeah, we do it after Thanksgiving usually, but we won't be home until late Saturday night and I am sure as hell not doing it when the Jete game is on.

Dad came down to visit from Mass to see his new granddaughter (3 weeks old), so just hanging around the house with family.
