Re: NFL Off Topic

I love the drunk guy that stumbles out of the backseat with an open Bud in one hand, half a case of Bud in the other and a cig hanging out of his mouth. Keep on keepin' on, dude.

I kind of love them all, but that guy takes the cake.

Every single person that drove up had an open container, more beer and a semi-automatic weapon.

Oh, the south.

Oh, I'm sure there's more than one video like this involving Packers fans from Northern Wisconsin/UP. They just either can't figure out how to upload it to the Internet or don't have Internet service where they live.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Two things to note:
People commonly mistake what the word "intent" means in a legal context. It does not require that his goal was to incite violence. At the most basic level intent only requires that he was aware that his actions could incite violence (or whatever the case may be).

Second, the exact wording of the law:
(a) Illegal to taunt police animals.--It shall be unlawful for any person to willfully or maliciously taunt, torment, tease, beat, kick or strike a police animal. Any person who violates any of the provisions of this subsection commits a felony of the third degree.

So you don't need to be the best lawyer in the world to convince the jury that he was trying to get the dog to bite someone. All a lawyer needs to do is demonstrate that the player was aware that his actions would cause a reaction in the dog. That is very easy to do. Again, it is not necessarily about whether or not he was trying to illicit a reaction, it is about whether he was aware that it could. Try convincing anyone that you had no idea that barking and shouting at a dog would not illicit a reaction.

It will still get thrown out though.

But we're not talking about the dog, lol. The only eyebrow raising thing about the animal law was that it's a felony. We were talking about it being illegal to yell at a human officer.

Didn't want to get behind Campbell but got behind and in some cases are still behind, RG3.

Funny how that is, especially in a town like DC.

Not that surprising at all actually. Campbell was the definition of a puzzle piece and DC is all about the next superstar saving the team. RG3 was a top 2 pick, played an exciting style, was outspoken, and looked unstoppable when he actually started playing in real games. Campbell was solid but none of that. It's stupid he didn't get more support, but not surprising.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Count me in as one of the people that liked Jason Campbell. He was never going to wow anybody with his style of play but he had a good grasp of the pro style offense and how to execute it. It sucks that he wasn't given the fairest shake in the world but that stint in Oakland sure looked promising. The NFL doesn't seem to have room for game managers/stalwart pro style type guys anymore. This is why while i'm hoping Connor Cook will be a stud i'm a little worried that he might not pan out. He does more things than Campbell did but by and large that Michigan State offense is a juiced up version of the old pro style offense. Saying that though, no Iowa QB is ever going to get a shot in the NFL the way the game is played these days. That offense is your classic pro style with 2 TEs and a FB.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So what is the general feel on this Will Smith movie "Concussion" that is coming out next month? From what I've read it isn't going to paint the NFL in a good light at all...in fact, the analogy I have read has likened it to the tobacco industry and we all know how that ended.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Tobacco industry still making a lot of money, especially overseas.

Still getting a lot of new smokers despite ban on advertising.

My general feel is that if one has been paying attention, nothing in this movie is new. But this will definitely get a rise out of the casual fan.
