FY56

To the contrary, I think you just made a strong case for you believing what you want to believe. Are you implying racial bias as it pertains to incarceration? Thats the rumor, but that doesn't dismiss the fact that 13% percent of the population commit a grossly disproportional amount of crime. FBI — Table 43 According to the FBI, African-Americans accounted for 55.9% of all homicide offenders in 2019, with whites 41.1%, and "Other" 3.0% in cases where the race was known. Among homicide victims in 2019 where the race was known, 54.7% were black or African-American, 42.3% were white, and 3.1% were of other races.

Arguably? That you may be a pedophile is plausible? lol J/K with ya Woody.

Yeah, Ben from Findlay Ohio being replace by Mitch from Mentor Ohio. That for some reason makes me uncomfortable. What I worry most about the Steelers is that I believe the QB play will be much improved. Ben was utter trash least season. His passer rating was 86.8, 24th in the NFL His QBR was even worse at 26th, right behind Jared Goff.

Would have rather had your QB problem than ours. Nevertheless, Ben was also a "me first" douchebag whether you know it or not. I remember hearing a story about Ben being pissed at the Steelers for drafting Rudolph. The audacity. Stated he wasn't gonna mentor the new QB. What a fuckstick. Ben Roethlisberger's comments display lack of accountability, self-awareness | Opinion (yahoo.com) The Pittsburgh Steelers are less than a week away from formally turning the page from Ben Roethlisberger to Mitch Trubisky and eventually Kenny Pickett, ending an 18-year run that yielded two Super Bowl titles and a third appearance. Evidently, Roethlisberger wasn’t quite ready to go quietly into that good night. In case you’ve been living under a rock, the future Hall-of-Famer spoke with the Post-Gazette’s Ron Cook about a wide range of subjects pertaining to his Steelers career. If Roethlisberger, always savvy about getting his message out, thought that his words would be viewed in the court of public opinion as a surgical, justified airing of grievances with the only franchise he’s ever known, he miscalculated. It came off more like a Hail Mary, a last-gasp effort to lay blame for anything that went wrong with the team during his tenure at everyone’s feet but his own. His gripes ranged from semi-valid – his Super Bowl XLIII winning pass to Santonio Holmes doesn’t get enough credit compared to Holmes’ catch (true, but only outside of Pittsburgh) – to tone-deaf and devoid of self-awareness, particularly when he bemoaned the Steelers’ transition from a team-oriented group into a me-first outfit. Were Antonio Brown, Le’Veon Bell and others “me-first” at times? Sure. No one argues that they weren’t. Roethlisberger was right there with them, though, even if he wasn’t all over social media. Anytime he spoke to the media, in the locker room or on his 93.7 The Fan radio show, every ear in Pittsburgh was perked up, waiting to hear what he would say. He was remarkably compelling, because he hardly ever fell back on tired clichés, but his comments frequently had a self-serving bent. Often, he was throwing shade at teammates, whether it was Brown for running “too flat” of a route against Denver, or Mason Rudolph for having the audacity to – hold on, let me check my notes – be drafted by the team. That’s me-first behavior by any definition. Early-career Roethlisberger engaged in it, too. Remember his habit of riding a motorcycle without a helmet? That’s putting yourself at risk of injury, despite you being extremely important to the team. I can’t imagine his teammates were too thrilled with that sort of thing in those early days, even as he was having immediate, huge success on the field. One other thing; this transition to more of a “me-first” mentality happened when Roethlisberger finally ascended to the role of locker room leader, a title he really didn’t have until after Troy Polamalu’s retirement. That’s not to say that Mike Tomlin isn’t responsible for the team’s culture – he is – but so too was Roethlisberger. Lead by example, and all that. He also spoke of how players are coddled in the modern era, making sure to note that Terry Hoeppner, his coach at Miami of Ohio, as well as Bill Cowher, never coddled him. College coach-player dynamics are different than in the pros, and Cowher never coddled Roethlisberger because he only coached him for three years, and Roethlisberger was a relative pup on a team chock full of veterans and leaders. If that was a subtle jab at Tomlin, I’m confused. What was the head coach supposed to do, crack the whip on his highest-paid player? I’d like to have seen that happen, mainly because I suspect Roethlisberger would not have taken it well, and it would have done exponentially more harm than good. Roethlisberger’s comments about Kevin Colbert might have been the most misguided of all, and going after Colbert, a Pittsburgher’s Pittsburgher, might be the simplest explanation for the immediate public backlash. Roethlisberger implied that of the Tomlin-Colbert-Art Rooney II braintrust, Colbert was the one readiest to move on at quarterback after the 2020 season, that Tomlin was “a little ready” to move on, and that Rooney was the reason he was brought back. I just don’t get that at all. Forget about all the money the Steelers paid Roethlisberger over the years – it is $267,286,864 per Spotrac, if you really wanted to know – and even Colbert’s infamous “Ben and 52 kids” comment of a few years back. Think of all the times Colbert, and really the entire organization, stood by Roethlisberger in his early years when his successes on the field were matched only by his repeated embarrassments away from it. From a football standpoint, Colbert was also perfectly reasonable to want to move on after 2020. Roethlisberger might feel he played well last year, but his 86.8 passer rating (league average: 90.8) and an abysmal 35.6 QBR – by far the lowest of his career over a full season – suggests otherwise. In no way, shape or form have the Steelers or Colbert ever done wrong by Roethlisberger. Quite the opposite. They forced Roethlisberger’s close friend Bruce Arians into a retirement that was anything but, but Arians’ coaching philosophy was going to dramatically shorten Roethlisberger’s career. They eventually cut loose Todd Haley because Roethlisberger didn’t like him, despite the fact that Roethlisberger took fewer hits and put up big numbers in Haley’s offense. Haley’s replacement? Randy Fichtner, a Roethlisberger friend who was out of his depth as coordinator. Roethlisberger’s only gripe with Colbert would be that he hasn’t always made perfect draft picks, but no general manager does, and with plenty of other needs to address, he went out and got Roethlisberger two shiny new skill-position talents – Najee Harris and Pat Freiermuth – in the first two rounds of last year’s draft. Ben Roethlisberger is entitled to his opinions, and his status as a two-time Super Bowl winner and future Hall of Famer means that he’ll always have a platform to make them public whenever he feels like it. But if he wants to assign blame for the Steelers’ shortcomings over the last half of his career, there’s another place he should look in addition to his teammates, coaches and general manager. A mirror.

What a-holes. Refusing to admit/report that there's a recession yet constantly warning of a pending recession that never happened when Trump was in office.

Fair enough, except I'm not sure what other "crazy laws to regress the country" you are referring to. Plus I've always known it to be the conservatives that have always complained about the Republicans being do-nothings or democrat ass kissers.

It's similar to a citizen taking the law into his own hands. The way I understand it is that both the Texas and Cali laws allow you Cal or me, who are neither in authority nor victims, to file lawsuits against abortionists or gun makers/sellers...therefore acting as vigilantes.

That has validity because this country is more divided than ever. And who's faut is that? It can't be the conservative's fault because conservative values have never changed. They've stayed the same from day one. Actually, once upon a time liberal and conservative values were not too far apart from each other. It is leftism we should fear. It is leftism that has hijacked liberalism and is consuming young impressionable minds. For example, with regards to race, liberals fought for equal rights and against discrimination, segregation. You are to be colorblind....not to look at a man's color but rather at the content of his character. That value has been highjacked by leftists deeming it null and void. Not to look a black man without acknowledging the fact that he is black, therefore he must be oppressed, is racist. One must be "woke"....this coming at a time when things have never been better. This is dangerous because it is divisive. Liberals fought for unity. You can apply that to almost every issue. Nationalism and their view of America were identical: Nationalism: Liberals deeply believed in the nation-state, whether their nation was the United States, Great Britain or France. The left has always opposed nationalism because leftism is rooted in class solidarity, not national solidarity. The left has contempt for nationalism, seeing in it intellectual and moral primitivism at best, and the road to fascism at worst. Liberals always wanted to protect American sovereignty and borders. The notion of open borders would have struck a liberal as just as objectionable as it does a conservative.

And if it did go away... what would stop any political innuendo being posted anyway? It's very easy to do. How about something like a strict warning stating that no political innuendo is allowed, otherwise your post will be deleted? Good idea? So what's stopping you from doing that now? How many moderators do we have? 3? Between the 3 it shouldn't be difficult to spot any violation and take care of business. That said, it's become clear to me that the desire to ban the poli board is less about political shit being posted here and more about you being upset over the political viewpoints of others.

I certainly hope by now most have already had their rude awakening. But if most on the left are as TDS as our buddy Hoorta, then any amount of corruption you can rub in their nose won't matter. Inflation is at a record high, but that doesn't matter either. If gas gets to $10 a gallon it won't matter, if Biden starts WWIII it won't matter....the satisfaction they get from Trump not being the president is what is most important to them. That is how deranged these people are. I just hope I'm wrong and that most of these liberal loonies are not Hoorta and actually do have the mental capacity to come to their senses.

This is what they fear. They are gonna do whatever it takes to find Trump guilty of a crime at the conclusion of the Jan 6 hearings. Yet if he does win the nomination someone is gonna have to show me how he wins the presidency. I just don't feel good about it.

But do you like this law?

And if Cal ends up being right about Baker Mayfield as well? Your battles with him were epic. Not a Mayfield fan, but maybe I'll root for him to do well just to watch your head explode! LOL

If we're gonna go back that far I wanted the Browns to draft that entire Steeler team. lol

The Browns sign Josh Dobbs, an aerospace engineer with a high IQ, and Josh Rosen, an economics major also having a high IQ. Yet the Browns organization keeps getting dumber and dumber.

Well let's see. Bad time to accuse Cal of being delusional. It appears he would be right most of the time over on the poli forum. Maybe you're the one that's delusional?

I've never watched a car race. Interested only in sports that involve athletes. Race car drivers and golfers are not athletes.

Shocking.

This move tells me they know something we don't. Yet.

A few had concerns over Rosens arrogance and that he would never want to come to Cleveland. Well, he's here now. And he was an arrogant fuckstick. UCLA's Josh Rosen: 'I'm the best QB in the draft' After being drafted: There were nine mistakes ahead of me,” Rosen said, referring to the nine picks made before his name was called.

Actually, Cal was very much anti-Rosen. The post below is from ClevFan4ForLife..lol

Reincarnated Chief Wahoo is back...returns to Cleveland as a football player!

It's one thing to be loud. It's another thing to be dumb. But trying to reason with someone that's both loud and dumb like this bitch and you're pretty much fucked. Can't be done.
