  1. I feel like the measurements are getting confused.

    NFL measures tip of pinky to tip of thumb. 7-1/2" for that is dwarfish and not believable. Some measure base of palm to tip of middle finger. 7-1/2" is believable for that and would be small for a QB prospect.

  2. As I posted on here before, the entire thing was so stupid that anyone who was suckered by that headline should be neutered and have their voting rights rescinded. The headline was essentially that 95,000 people who weren't citizens in the mid-90s are now registered to vote.

    Well no fucking shit. Again, there are thousands and thousands (maybe millions) of people who are now registered to vote who weren't even alive in the mid-90s. LIVING DEAD VOTER FRAUD!!!

  3. Manchester City heading to Newport County on Saturday. I hate it when smaller clubs move the matches to the bigger club's location so this is fun. Their ground seats 7,850 I believe.

    Seems lazy of them though. If you're going to take info from other websites you should at least vet it first on your own terms, instead of relying on them to be 100% correct all the time.

    Totally disagree. If all they were doing was essentially reporting the information that Rivals had, then what's the issue? If they had linked that profile with an original profile and rating of this kid on their own site then there's a problem.

  5. Open free agency would be fine. People underestimate the commitment that the vast majority of players have to their teammates and the simple inertia resisting most people making a change of that magnitude in their lives.

    The only limitation that makes sense to me is what I posted previously. If a school has guaranteed a multiyear scholarship to a player and he has accepted then he should be limited. It's ridiculous that in the current system the school has no obligation to renew a scholarship for the next year but the player is obligated to stay at the school under penalty of sitting out a year, losing eligibility, or both (not to mention the current school being able to limit destinations).

  6. Here is an interesting read:
    https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5824932/
    But I'm not sure what evidence you want to discuss. Gender and sex are recognized as a distinct concepts for humans by pretty much anyone who studies either. You want to ignore that distinction because . . . I guess you find it inconvenient? I don't really understand your reasoning, but it makes discussion impossible. 
    Yep, it's how you know he's not interested in a serious discussion from the start. In his initial response in this thread he declares that he's not interested in a "semantics" argument about how gender and sex aren't interchangeable terms. It's therefore impossible to engage in an actual discussion on the transgendered issue considering the entire concept of transgendered people is based on the fact that gender and sex aren't interchangeable.

    But pointing that out just means you're not respecting his different viewpoint so you're the bigot and he's the victim.

    I assume this is aimed at me. My answer may be a letdown for you.

    I don't have a problem with transgendered people as an idea. If you want to wear a dress and take hormones to grow tits, fine by me. I'll even call you a "she" if that's your preferred pronoun. It doesn't mean that I think, in any way, that you are actually a woman. I am doing it to be polite in the same manner that I don't point out that a girl is fat or how I bow my head when someone prays before a meal out of respect for their beliefs. You were born a man and still remain a biological man.

    I'm not interested in the semantics of using "sex" and "gender" interchangeably to demonstrate whether or not they are social constructs. (We won't agree). Nor am I interested in discussing bigotry based on a more open and candid discussion I have on a message board that doesn't reflect my actual life. I am not actively making a trans person's life miserable. Frankly, it's not an issue I think or care about frequently. 

    So, there's really no problem other than your ability to accept that someone may have a different worldview than yourself.

    lulz

    Here comes spanky valiantly trying to turn himself into a victim again.

  8. Ha, yep. Here's the video of last year's girls 200 yard freestyle sprint relay final at the 6A state championship meet. Schools in the finals were a laundry list of inner city athlete hotbeds:

    Austin Westlake
    Round Rock
    The Woodlands
    Humble Kingwood
    Houston Stratford
    Cy-Fair
    San Antonio Reagan
    Katy Taylor

    There's a noticeable lack of pigment occupying the 32 $300+ racing suits in that video.

  9. Yeah, the two liveries I like best so far are Renault and Toro Rosso, which is weird because I don't like yellow generally speaking and red, white, and blue color schemes are a bit tiresome (or at least old hat) for obvious reasons.

     

    Wait, forgot Haas. Didn't dislike it but wasn't in love with it when I saw it but it's growing on me as I see the alternatives. Ha.

  10. Different ways in different sets. The schedule rating on the regular ratings page (not linked in the menu right now) is just the average power rating of their opponents. The schedule rating on the EWP ratings page is the PWP rating the team would need to have in order to expect a .500 record against the schedule they faced.

    “At the moment our challenge is, with our per-student funding going down, it will become very hard to sustain this,” Young said. The school might have to consider shrinking the student body of the university or making other accommodations based on the “resources that we have available,” he said.

    Well, sounds like you have it figured out you dumbshit.

    Perfect.  Great to have visual confirmation that the SEC does indeed do less with more.  Or should that be:

    SEC: It Just Wastes More (talent)

    So the SEC took their 2-to-1 NFL combine talent advantage and went 1-3 against the Big 12 in bowl games. Interesting.
