    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    Fair enough. I have several friends/coworkers who were at the parade, including at least one that was very close to the incident, so maybe I'm just being overly sensitive.

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    Don't really want to keep following this track, but for much of recorded history authorities have intentionally made public spectacle of the most barbarous punishments and executions they could come up with as a means of communicating state or monarchical power and deterring other would-be...

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    And yet people get shot all over the country, in big cities, in small towns, in rich areas, in poor areas, in majority-minority areas, and in lily-white areas. So tell me, why is it anything but asinine for Kong to come into this thread running down Chiefs fans and Kansas Citians for getting...

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    I read Kong's response as suggesting that there was a difference relevant to the discussion. Is that not how you read it?

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    And that has to do with the victims how? I'm guessing that if you had a conversation with one of the people who were shot, you'd have no idea whether they were from KC or Omaha. The people are the same. It's not their fault they got shot at a parade any more than it was the fault of the Von Maur...

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    They are the same in all respects relevant to the discussion. Kong is suggesting that they're not "exactly" the same because Nebraskans won't get shot up (and will apprehend shooters). I think anyone sensible can agree that that's asinine.

    If hanging was such an effective deterrent, why did they have to hang so many people?

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    Essentially means "at a fundamental level," not "almost." No place is immune from this crap, including Nebraska (Westroads Mall).

    Shots fired the Chiefs celebration in KC

    I've lived in Nebraska, Missouri, and Kansas (among other places). The people in those 3 states are essentially the same, culturally. You should be ashamed of yourself.

    Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team

    Certainly can't complain about the record. And we broke the Ferentz line!

    Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team

    Replying to myself, but unfortunately he has been as bad in the second half as he was good in the first. HH seems like a long strider who can run away from some guys when he has space to stretch his legs, but he's not a very decisive or evasive runner in traffic. Taylor Martinez had the same...

    Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team

    Excellent performance from Haarberg in the first half today. Not perfect, but we could win a lot of games with him playing at that level.

    You truly have no way of knowing this. My mistake. I hate to wrongly accuse anyone of being an Iowa fan, so I am sorry for that. See, this is the problem, because he's obviously signaling something, and it's not incumbent on the coverage team to ascertain what that is. Guilty. Football is a...

    No. "Invalid" means "not meeting the conditions of a valid fair catch signal." Intent is not mentioned or involved in the rule. The rule is "any waving signal," not "any waving signal intended to indicate a fair catch." I know that you very badly want this call to have been wrong. It is painful...

    It's usually best to leave intent out of it - do you really want referees deciding what a player meant by their arm motions? I understand your complaint that circling is not waving (not sure I agree, but it's a defensible stance), but it's not really possible to define every possible arm motion...

    If you read the link, you'll find this additional information above which tells you the impact of the signal. I didn't include it in the original post since it was already long and I didn't think this part was in dispute. Emphasis mine. Fair Catch ARTICLE 1. A fair catch of a scrimmage kick is...

    It is explicitly a reviewable play. You must not watch much football. It's not called frequently, but it does come up periodically. In fact, it was called in a game earlier in the day (Tennessee vs Alabama). That one was even weirder, because the guy who fielded the ball wasn't even the one who...

    Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team

    He started as a Junior. Granted, he had more experience "in the system" than Haarberg. Those numbers look pretty damn similar to me, and there's a good chance that Haarberg's numbers get worse, not better, as opposing defenses get better and the outsized performances against G5 teams have less...

    Next year’s starting QB is not currently on the team

    It's not a rant. I want HH to succeed. But you have to be willfully blind to not see the issues. He's putting up Jammal Lord-esque passing numbers and he's nowhere near the running threat Lord was. The injuries on the offensive side certainly aren't helping. He could still put it together, and...
