  1. I really like watching this version of the Jets vs what we started the year with - Copp/Dano/Petan - these kids are really playing well, just like they did in the latter half of the year last year after Little got hurt and Ladd got traded. And Ehlers/Scheifele/Laine - what a great line! Always flying around out there. I am trying to think of who Ehlers reminds me of, kind of like Pavel Bure I guess in some ways.
  2. Well I did see Medlock nail a 58 yarder (I think) against Montreal on opening game day. But I can't remember if he had any wind behind him. I do remember the ball clearing the bar with a yard or two to spare too.
  3. yeah I honestly hate seeing a player walking off like that, where its possible he might have suffered permanent brain damage. It's injuries like that that may one day be the death of this game we love so much.
  4. In 2009 Lapo was only a 13th man away from winning. That was a tough break.
  5. yup - just keep adding more parts and better players. 2001 was a great season but we needed 1999 and 2000 first.
  6. Yup I agree. According to Lawless O'Shea and Walters will be meeting for pizza and beer in St. Norbert to discuss a new contract. Get it done boys.
  7. The key to our 1980's dynasty was our defense. We just aren't there yet.
  8. Finally sobering up and pulling out of the depression of yesterday. Just have to get this out of my system.., ok, all better now. Here's to 2017!! All the way baby!
  9. it hurts even more that it was Khari running their O...
  10. and 100% of yours. So what? My point with Jacquie is she keeps seeming to want to promote hatred and divisiveness by claiming that Trump's supporters won't be happy, but for what purpose? Seems like a giant load of sour grapes to me.
  11. So what?
  12. LOL - no I don't. But if you think that way it certainly is strange that you think that, considering how you can't hear me.
  13. Wait, you get to decide if your comment is relevant and level-headed? I thought it was whoever yelled the most and called people "horrible" if they don't believe everything they believe that got to make that decision. So weird.

  15. And there also hasn't been one single relevant, level-headed comment criticizing Trump in this thread that I can recall. It's really a two-way street. I also do agree with your very last sentence to some extent, though I don't think it's fair to say that he hasn't shown anything yet. That's just the liberal media echo chamber talking, and they still are being jerks in my opinion.
  16. The Cognitive Dissonance Cluster Bomb Posted November 12th, 2016 @ 7:55am Earlier this week CNN.com listed 24 different theories that pundits have provided for why Trump won. And the list isn’t even complete. I’ve heard other explanations as well. What does it tell you when there are 24 different explanations for a thing? It tells you that someone just dropped a cognitive dissonance cluster bomb on the public. Heads exploded. Cognitive dissonance set in. Weird theories came out. This is the cleanest and clearest example of cognitive dissonance you will ever see. Remember it. This phenomenon is why a year ago I told you I was putting so much emphasis on PREDICTING the outcome of the election using the Master Persuader Filter. I told you it would be easy to fit any theory to the facts AFTER the result. And sure enough, we can fit lots of theories to the facts. At least 24 of them by CNN’s count. Generally speaking, the greater the persuasion, the more cognitive dissonance you get. Trump is – in my opinion – the greatest persuader of my lifetime. I expected this level of cognitive dissonance. Next time you see a persuader of this magnitude, you can expect the outcome to be cognitive dissonance in that case too. This brings me to the anti-Trump protests. The protesters look as though they are protesting Trump, but they are not. They are locked in an imaginary world and battling their own hallucinations of the future. Here’s the setup that triggered them. 1. They believe they are smart and well-informed. 2. Their good judgement told them Trump is OBVIOUSLY the next Hitler, or something similarly bad. 3. Half of the voters of the United States – including a lot of smart people – voted Trump into office anyway. Those “facts” can’t be reconciled in the minds of the anti-Trumpers. Mentally, something has to give. That’s where cognitive dissonance comes in. There are two ways for an anti-Trumper to interpret that reality. One option is to accept that if half the public doesn’t see Trump as a dangerous monster, perhaps he isn’t. But that would conflict with a person’s self-image as being smart and well-informed in the first place. When you violate a person’s self-image, it triggers cognitive dissonance to explain-away the discrepancy. So how do you explain-away Trump’s election if you think you are smart and you think you are well-informed and you think Trump is OBVIOUSLY a monster? You solve for that incongruity by hallucinating – literally – that Trump supporters KNOW Trump is a monster and they PREFER the monster. In this hallucination, the KKK is not a nutty fringe group but rather a symbol of how all Trump supporters must feel. (They don’t. Not even close.) In a rational world it would be obvious that Trump supporters include lots of brilliant and well-informed people. That fact – as obvious as it would seem – is invisible to the folks who can’t even imagine a world in which their powers of perception could be so wrong. To reconcile their world, they have to imagine all Trump supporters as defective in some moral or cognitive way, or both. As I often tell you, we all live in our own movies inside our heads. Humans did not evolve with the capability to understand their reality because it was not important to survival. Any illusion that keeps us alive long enough to procreate is good enough. That’s why the protestors live in a movie in which they are fighting against a monster called Trump and you live in a movie where you got the president you wanted for the changes you prefer. Same planet, different realities.

  18. I thought Hillary lost?
  19. LOL - it's going to be a long four years for you. Political puppet for the alt-right. I don't even know what that means, but I bet you got that from one of your professors right? I am curious - who has filled you with so much hate? Why are you so angry? You claim that I am the one who won't listen to reason because I say that I want to actually see how Trump does before judging him? Now you know WHY TRUMP WON. You remind me of this mother:
  20. I hear your Johnzo, but when I read about all of the dirty tricks that Hillary's team pulled during the election, I have to wonder why people weren't more frightened of a Clinton presidency as well. http://abcnews.com.co/donald-trump-protester-speaks-out-i-was-paid-to-protest/
  21. And what I find sad is that you are so filled with anger, and rage (no doubt put there by someone else with political motives) that you won't even listen to what he and Michael Moore are saying. You have two choices - stay consumed with anger and rage, or calm down, and listen. Your choice.
  22. no no no they are better off too, they are just too racist and stupid to know it.
