    2023-2024 NFL Season : Arizona's QB Search Continues

    I might be way off, but I didn't think the YouTube revenue is all that lucrative. I pulled up some site that estimates the revenue based on view counts and it has his channel pulling in about 50k per month. 600k per year is nothing to sneeze at, but it's peanuts compared to the 120 million / 4...

    I don't get why McAfee took the deal with them in the first place. Seemed like he was making about the same on his own. He had to know they were going to meddle with things.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    I was curious if maybe that engine was actually a Ford engine, thus the butthurt - I remembered it being in the Lincoln LS (not the 5, a smaller displacement). It looks like it was a Jaguar developed engine that originally preceeded Ford's purchase of JLR, so, I'm genuinely puzzled. If you...

    Interesting, I've never seen that before either. I imagine it's mostly just aestheitics. Only advantage I can think of is since they're built into the structure, you wouldn't have to worry about the hangers coming loose and the gutter sagging over time. Looks like a lot of extra work, must be...

    Trust me, as someone who has grown up as a Lions fan, the predominant blame has always been on the Ford family and their ownership. You have to admit, the Lions have a real knack for finding ways to get fucked over by unique corner cases in the rulebook. By memory: Calvin Johnson rule - caused...

    Looks really good. My wife wanted to paint all our oak cabinets white when we moved in, but I convinced her they were still in really good shape and we had bigger fish to fry.

    Yep, saw the video, I didn't bother before because I figured it was some dumb boilerplate footage. Not going to place all the blame on the official, Skipper did rub his jersey as he was running onto the field - you couldn't see that from the broadcast feed's angle. Technically, the ref also has...

    Honestly, unless you want the wow factor of the heated seat and all that other jazz, just a simple bidet attachment works fine. I've installed a few of these. Even in my old house, where the cold tap is ice cold in the winter, I never felt like I needed the water heated. I've seen costco...

    What video? I watched it happen live, looked at what espn had, and just tried to find a different view - I couldn't see Skipper do anything other than run towards the field. All I'm coming up with on youtube are dickheads with reaction videos.

    I haven't seen any video of Skipper making any motion to declare himself eligible. As far as I'm aware, all he did was run toward the ref while Decker was declaring. If he did do that, I'll admit it's shitty and the Lions got what they deserved. Assuming he didn't, I'd say it was valid deception...

    I highly doubt it was audible over the PA system. That was probably one of the loudest times ever in that stadium. Even then, how would they have said something, they had no time outs. It's a shitty situation that shouldn't have happened caused by gross incompetence of a ref with a history of...

    Not to belabor this, but that shitbag rules analyst was saying this on the broadcast and he was wrong in my opinion. 68 is on the left side, the receiver on the outside of him doesn't appear to be on the line, so, he isn't being covered. This would have been a perfectly legal play if the refs...

    His point was that all the elite pass rushers are held on the regular. He's saying it's definitely happening to Parsons, but he's not the only one. Hell, I've seen it happen quite a bit with Hutchinson - he has a tendency to kind of throw up his arms and give up on the play when it happens to...

    So can we just agree this ref crew sucks and shouldn't officiate any more regular season and playoff games. I agree they got a little too cute, but it's not like they surprised the crew, they reviewed the play with them pregame.

    That's where I'm at, I don't care about the why of them sucking, just fire this fucking crew before the playoffs. They've already botched 3 or 4 game changing calls this year. They should not be reffing another NFL game ever. I feel the same about Angel Hernandez in baseball. These idiots...

    Decker specifically left the huddle to declare eligible, you think he just had a brain fart while walking over to the ref? Multiple players on the field have said 68 declared and 70 did not. The dipshit ref *assumed* it was 70 who declared despite 70 never saying as such. While a historically...

    Gonna agree to disagree there. The contact with the facemask was pretty minimal, the linebacker didn't even make the slightest effort to turn around - he was face guarding on the play and didn't time his contact with the TE even close. Anyway, back to the newest screw job.

    Considering that directly lead to Bob Quinn being hired as GM and the eventual hiring of Matt Patricia, yes, you can say I'm still butthurt about that call. I would have been OK with offsetting penalties if they wanted to call the facemask, but there's no way there wasn't PI on that play.

    It's the Lions. Part of the fun is seeing how they'll get fucked by the refs in new and interesting ways. Nothing will beat their last playoff game vs the Cowboys where one of the refs threw a flag on a blatant PI call, then picked it up and basically said nevermind.

    Something definitely doesn't smell right with their story. They should have already root caused the issue when they ordered the parts. Even if they didn't and were just throwing parts at it, seems strange they'd suddenly decide to tear into it at that point. I guess as long as everything is...

    Well that was a horseshit ending. Who was that idiot rules expert? During the replay, you could see Decker talking to the ref, but I'm sure he just forgot to report like that fuckstick was claiming... It's a shame, if the Cowboys lost this game, I think the stupid touchback from fumbling...

    Kind of curious: is it something you can patent? Not sure what kind of contract you had to sign for employment in terms of IP, so, that might be a roadblock.

    The only thing I like more than that is when a DB celebrates after the guy he was covering, who had him totally beat, drops the pass.
