Everything was looking good for my games. Then Hester scores, and the packers tie it up all in a matter of seconds.

But the Pack lose in OT and the Hawks prevail!!

I hope his receivers get booed just as much...

as while Smith is obviously awful, if you watch, his receivers quit on routes or don’t even look around for the ball when it’s in the air heading toward them a lot of the time.

When the rule came out

I thought to myself, of course d-backs will get under the receiver and pretty much carry him out of bounds. You could really fireman a guy, after all. Tote his squirming ass for like five yards. Apparently, though, such egregious force-outs are not allowed. I haven’t read the rule so who knows how they crafted the language, but it’s still a judgment call. NB: I could be wrong about this.

It would probably be too complex to enforce but I'd love to see it be 15 unless in the Ref's judgement

the PI was just a blatant “Oh shit I’m gonna give up a touchdown unless I tackle this guy” in which case it could be spot fouled.

I dunno how it happens in college

But if it’s a 30 yard pass, and ‘spot of the foul’ isn’t in effect, why not just tackle the WR if you’ve got no hope of defending him?

Seems dumb to me.

I just looked at the rushing yardage from the 'Hawks game

Forsett really looks like a whole different runner when used more sparingly. His rushing stats for the first 5 games:

rush, yds, average:

vs SF: 7 – 43 – 6.1
@ DEN: 8 – 44 – 5.5
vs SD: 17 – 63 – 3.7
@ STL: 19 – 65 – 3.4
@ CHI: 10 – 67 – 6.7

Lynch had 17 carries, 44 yards, and a 2.6 ypc today, but I think it’s pretty reasonable to give him some of the credit for the change in Forsett’s performance.

by Jason_D on Oct 17, 2010 5:07 PM PDT reply actions  

Well, remember that Lynch...

1. Got a lot of carries in garbage time, when they knew we were going to run, and were just running out clock.

2. Took 4 or 5 really badly blocked plays, and turned them from 3-5 yard losses to 0-2 yard gains, in other words, kept us out of some seriously shitty 2nd and 3rd and longs. He fought hard just to get back to the line of scrimmage multiple times, so while he doesn’t get credit for those yards, he actually “ran” for a lot more yards just getting around would be tacklers deep in the backfield and then making amazing plays to get us back to the LOS or even a few extra yards beyond it. It was seriously awesome. He mainly kept us out of trouble, and probably helped Hass have a lot better game because of it.

That's a long story!

Well not really. I never really watched American Football, just like most of my country.

Then I saw David Beckham cry in the World Cup. And I just went “holy shit this is gay” and looked for a less gay (not that there’s anything wrong with that) sport. American football was it, this was back in 2005.

There were several teams I liked, but only two teams I could consider for fandom, New Orleans and Seattle, since I had a soft spot for both those cities (and still do). Seattle’s excellence that year made the decision easy for me.

Finally saw a Seahawks game last year, when I went to Seattle and New Orleans for voluntary work, tho it was only a pre-season game. Some day I’ll move there, hopefully, but not right now.

inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

I was kidnapped from Latvia at the age of 5

And travelled with a Roma karney family. They took me all the way through Russia, by the Trans-Siberian railway, to Vladivostok. There my adoptive parents, Vera and Tolic, decided to move on to a place called “Alaska”.

However, the ship we took was from New York, and they figured “Alaska” and “Washington state” are pretty much the same thing. Thus we ended up in Seattle, where we performed at the bottom of the Space Needle. Here I learned of a team called the “Sea Hawks”. Our family would regularly go to games, until, on a faithful day, the hawk confused me with a bit of food, and picked me up, flying away until he dropped me onto a pirate ship, which circled Cape Horn and eventually got close enough to the Isle of Wight for me to dive off.

There, I found a ship back to Nijmegen.

Utah is going to score a lot of points this year.

They were ranked 4th in points scored last season and now they have Al Jefferson. Millsap is an upgrade to Boozer as well.

PS

“The Dutch don’t like their country being called Holland” came up a while back here. It’s not true anymore, generally, we don’t mind.

But the fact that we’re always primarily associated with legal weed is a bit annoying. Especially since we, PPR-wise, have significantly less weed usage than, say, the US.

Also, our current government is looking to make selling weed to foreigners illegal. End of weed tourism!

Honest?

by John Morgan on Oct 17, 2010 8:16 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yes seriously

Weed export and general weed tourism have been political sensitive points within the EU for a while now. Tourism isn’t that big an income factor for us anyway, so they’re looking to kill it. Soon you’ll need a Dutch passport to get a member pass for coffeeshops. Should also help minors buying weed.

by Johnny Slick on Oct 17, 2010 8:19 PM PDT up reply actions  

It's not a big deal for us

It is a big deal for the countries they’re from. There’s no real border check for luggage between EU countries, so England, Germany and Belgium have massive weed imports from Holland.

Mushrooms were actually made illegal because of foreign tards using it in unsafe atmospheres and jumping off bridges and stuff. Idiots.

How unrepresentative

Most people I know here have used but tend to do so in fairly low amounts. Regular users tend to build a bit of immunity tho.

Regardless, its legality has worked fairly well here. Unlike the US, using weed as an adolescent is just uninteresting. Nothing exciting about it. I’d guess it’s why our usage numbers are lower than yours.
