@JClarkNBCS I don’t care about the beer. It’s his shitty attitude that’s been on display for four years. The first altercation was with Jim Salisbury after a game where he was booed loudly by us fans. His temperament was never a fit here in Philly.
In a past life, I was a reporter in Putin's Russia.
During that time, a leading Russian opposition journalist told me he feared interactions with law enforcement because a police officer could easily plant drugs on him to fabricate a criminal case.
A few years later, a totally apolitical acquaintance was arrested for participating in an unsanctioned protest. Only he hadn't been protesting; he had been sitting on a park bench. Four police officers grabbed him — one holding each arm, one holding each leg — and carried him away. After two days in jail, he was convicted of the same charges as many other protesters: blocking traffic and chanting anti-government slogans. He was lucky to get off with a fine.
These are two "small" examples of life in a police state. Notably, neither involves lethal force.
And that wasn't Russia at its worst. Since then, the Kremlin has de facto outlawed dissent.
So if you think it's desirable for Americans to be "terrified" of law enforcement, if you believe lethal force is a justified response to any disobedience (legal precedent states otherwise), you don't know what you're asking for.
I cashed out my parlay with Desmond Bane. Now way is he playing his game tonight. I got out even while I could. It sucks because all my other picks were hitting.
@ralphieluck I just cashed my parlay with him while I could break even. He won’t even make it to 10 points tonight. He committed two cheap fouls and has been on the bench ever since.
@RealSkipBayless You’re such an ASS for making a statement like this right after one of the great performance’s by a storied rilvalry. No wonder people think you’re a DOPE.
@sethjoyner I 100% agree Seth. If nothing else Sirianni could have done what Demeco Ryans did. Once Demeco saw the Jaguars were blowing out the Titans he removed his starters. Nick could have done the same thing. Once he saw the Lions had a chance to win he should have gone for the #2 seed
@sethjoyner Seth, I won 18’576$ on a parlay today and I’m sick to my stomach about this loss. Every other playoff team aside from the Packers chose to play to win today. We pissed away a prime chance for two home games and much higher odds to repeat as Superbowl Champions.
Man, if Aaron Rodgers can win this game with Mike Tomlin I’m gonna be the happiest non Steelers fan in the world. Nothing but respect for coach Tomlin.
