Journal Journal: College Football Rants and Open Letters...

To Nick Saban:
You can tell your team all you want that they "don't need a trophy to know they're the best" -- your team isn't the best. You got beat by a better team 42-35.

To the SEC Fans:
Your "the SEC is invincible" narrative, primary fed to you by the talking heads on ESPN (which owns the SEC Network), has been shattered. Your top teams all LOST. The so-called mini-NFL, the SEC West, was 2-5 in Bowl Season.

Comment Why I don't post here very often (Score 1) 13

Because here on slashdot, the libtards here are proud of their ignorance, stubbornness, and obtuseness.

In other words -- they're lost causes and not worth any more of your time. They're dumber than dogs -- at least rubbing the dog's nose in his own feces will convince the dog to stop crapping on the carpet -- but these brown shirt liberals, no matter how bad things get, lie and ignore the reality.

They say "Unemployment down to 5.6 percent!!" but ignore the reality that the labor force participation rate is the lowest it's been since Jimmuh Cartuh. More Americans are unable to find work and given up looking at the highest rate since the 1970's and liberals cheerlead Obama and the unemployment rate that's intentionally deceptive.

It's just like when you (or I) point out the many failures and high body counts of socialism, it's brother communism, or it's cousin fascism -- they huff and puff and insist, nay, they demand that you admit that "true socialism" has never been tried.

Smitty -- I don't always agree with you, but I definitely like you -- you're a good person.

But I'd be less than honest if I didn't tell you that I don't think these morons are worth much of your time.

I realized years ago that they weren't worth much of my time, either.

Comment Stun and gun holsters should trigger (Score 1) 219

Anytime the stun or sidearm is unholstered, the camera begins recording. This does more, as you start seeing how often force is threatened. Maybe it starts showing trends (e.g. group 1 pulls in 80% of traffic stops versus group 2 pulls in 10%). There's no objective way to make your TTPs (Tactical Task Procedures, standard op procedures, whatever you want to call em) better without measuring. If an officer is pulling out force so often the batteries fail, then this should trigger an internal audit. Such as, IT department seeing one user in particular seems to be going often to www.whitehouse.com and xvideos.com. Do we say all users are bad, or do we monitor for the 1 or 2 who do bad things? The latter. Good for IT, should be good for LEO.

Besides, cops seem all geared up in tactical battle rattle (stun grenades on occasion, multiple sets of cuffs, body armor, etc), what's another 12 oz external Lithium Ion battery pack?

The Catholic League is not the Vatican. I am not a member of the League (though I am a Knight of Columbus).

Furthermore, what Donohue is saying is Biblical, about trying not to deliberately offend.

The reason for that is, obviously, if they're spitting mad at you they aren't going to listen to the Gospel from you.

That said... I support the right of comedians to offend whoever they want.

Comment Re:Fine, Oregon (Score 1) 8

I called my congressman (Kenny Marchant) and left a message with a staffer, and send him a tweet asking him to support Gohmert for Speaker.

Sadly, Marchant voted for Boehnerdict The Orange. Oh well, don't blame me -- I voted for Grant Stinchfield in the last primary...

Comment Re:Wow (Score 1) 8

The fact that if you take away the horrible turnovers early in the game against Alabama, and Ohio State having to settle for field goals twice after 1st and Goal, then Ohio State beats Alabama even worse than the 42-35 score that was the final. When you look past just the score, and into the time of possession, yardage, etc, Ohio State whipped Alabama's ass.

That 59-0 destruction of Wisconsin also influences me.

Yes, Oregon dismantled the Florida State Criminoles, but Florida State was a paper tiger all year. Oregon hasn't seen a defense as fast as OSU's. Super Mariota is going to be pressured like he hasn't been all year.

Oregon also hasn't seen a back like Ezekiel Elliot.
