Careful though. Smith took a huge hit late in the second quarter against either the Pats or Eagles and just evaporated for the remainder of the half. I think he can still be rattled and will be watching closely to see if it happens again. Other than that I'd pick them to go deep into the postseason.
 
dafoooq i dont watch raiders last 2 weeks cuz of trackdays,

and tonight :wtf :nchantr :( :mad :x
 
Raiders haven't been able to cover a screen play in 5 years. 3 and 20 and they give up a 74 yard screen. Terrible.
 
What the hell is wrong with their passing game? Front to back its horrendous tonight. Need to get that sorted if they are actually going to contend this year.

Oh, they had a 3rd and 1 and...pass incomplete instead of giving it to ML. :wtf
 
1st and goal on 4

we kick fg

wtf, offense calling almost as bad as seahawks bowl with beastmode going wide out

As an avid Steelers fan, I completely agree!



I wondered this morning how long it will be until the fans and color guard are the only ones standing?

I've always thought that "Taking a Knee" is about as respectful as any form of protest could ever take.

Im okay with that. If the players dont want to participate thats fine by me, its their right.

Also, most sporting events I have been to I have witnessed numerous people disrespecting the anthem/flag by being loud and obnoxious, talking or completely ignoring the whole thing. That irritates me more than someone who chooses to kneel or not participate quietly.

When Kaep started with his, "Fuck yo 'Merica, nigga," bullshit sitting on the bench, it pissed me off. The kneeling protests seems much more respectful and not insulting, even if I feel it is misplaced.

As a country we could probably all take a knee and hash some shit out. Adam Carolla used to have a pretty funny/interesting segment on his podcast called "take a knee."

I absolutely agree with how obnoxious crowds can be. It’s a big double standard that most people arent recognizing. With the exception of Shady MCCOY’s stretching yesterday, everyone taking a knee has not been as direspectful as people talking or getting food.

I would rather see them knee than sit on the bench though.

We are collectively a nation of assholes who has no interest in that. Petty bitch ass people just want to petty bitch ass bicker and gossip. Human nature, unfortunately.

What has that got to do with Rizzo?
Click to expand...

I got it wrong. I thought he was police commish when that happend. He was still a piece of shit, just not in charge when they bombed the block.

The MOVE weidos were a problem, just not the kind of problem you fire bomb a city bock about.

Anywhoo, back to football....

From the Article he posted:
Back in 1986, Rizzo had been running for mayor again; he'd already served two terms in the 1970s before running up against term limits. He tried to have those term limits overturned, openly appealing to white voters in the city to "vote white" regarding the ballot measure.

For a lot of black Philadelphians of a certain vintage, like my mother, the swaggering, profanity-spewing Rizzo, the city's former police commissioner, was the face and brains of Philadelphia's brutal, aggressive police force. My mom recounted to me the time he arrested a group of Black Panthers, strip-searched them in public, and invited the press to cover the whole ordeal; photos of the naked, humiliated men were splashed across the pages of the local papers the next day.

And she told me about the time the police shot and killed her friend Ricky, who was a bystander during a shootout and had hidden beneath a nearby car for cover. There was the stuff she didn't witness: the melee that ensued after Rizzo sent hundreds of nightstick-wielding police officers to break up a peaceful demonstration of black high school and junior high school students who were protesting at the Board of Education building. ("Get their black asses!" he was widely quoted as saying during the fracas.) Or the fact that Philly cops were infamous for "turf drops" — instead of taking black folks they'd arrested to jail, they'd leave them in hostile, white ethnic neighborhoods across town.

Seems to me a lot of people have a right to not want a statue of him to be memorialized. If you are taking down the flags in the south you might want to reconsider the monuments in the north.
