NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

Does this chart take into account how poorly run a franchise is? I think attendance to a Lions game should be weighted more that attending a Chiefs/Patriots game.

I don't believe that was part of the study but it should be!

Damn, Ray Liotta.

I know everyone's go to movie is Good Fellas.

But, if you haven't already seen it, watch Smokin Aces.

R.I.P.

He offered all of them like 40k but okay.....he did nothing wrong.

Certainly not saying he is innocent but a million likely would save him in legal and nfl trouble.

There's a rumor that the Dodgers could be trading for Juan Soto.

According to Soto's agent Scott Boras, Soto isn't going anywhere.

But rumors are persisting anyway as Soto has no way to stop it if he truly wants to stay.

IF that is true (and we don't know) that's a drop in the bucket for someone with the amount of money he has and will earn. It's $880k. He will be earning that amount once his new deal kicks in for less than a half of a game.

If you saw the interview with the female the other night.....you could tell she wasn't lying......or if she was......she should be an actress, not a massage therapist....

I saw it. No way to know if she was lying. she wasn't just because she cried? Now, sure, she might have been telling the truth but no way we can know.

 

[dtgold88]

Goodfellas too.

There was a lesser known movie he was in I liked, too. He was a cop terrorizing a husband and wife (Kurt Russell was the husband). Too lazy to look it up, but that sucks. also sucks I think 67 is too young.

Obviously eliminating guns is an impossible task, especially in this country. However, an 18 year old buying two semi-auto rifles in short succession with 375 rounds should be a flag of a potential issue. No waiting period in Texas I presume?

A waiting period is just a delay until you receive your firearm. This kid wouldn't have kicked a red flag on any background check. The gun seller doesn't get to flag suspicions based on inventory ordered as you start treading into murky territory when it goes to using best judgement.

Unlawful Entry maybe?

 

[tlance]

He wasn't holding them hostage. He was killing them one by one. So yea...guns blazing probably would have saved half of their lives. Maybe cost a cop or two. They signed up for that. The kids didnt.

It isn’t about the cops lives, I agree with that.

Just a lot of ways cops entering could have made the situation worse.

Depends on the information they had available at the time. Real easy to say in hindsight with what we know right now.

What? Empty the rest of the farm system for him?

Yes please!!!!

I can guarantee if it was their kids or their grandkids those cops would have handled it a whole lot differently.

But this will be a good talking point with my neighbor that is a cop and has done raids

Soto is like a top 5 player arguably and young. I would be shocked if he was traded.

Yeah, but almost 1/3 of the season and he still needs to get untracked this season.

Sure.

But that isn’t the point. We don’t know what information they had or what their orders were.

And had they gone in and children been caught in the police crossfire, I can guarantee people wouldn’t have been saying “well, at least they tried”.

Easy to judge in hindsight.

If it was all bam bam bam and these kids were gunned down in about 5 minutes..okay. but damn man...I don't know how anyone could sit back and listen to that transpire as long as it did. Finally a border patrol cop put an end to it all. I mean what the hell

Herbert looks like a chick with his hair like that.

"After two days of providing often conflicting information, investigators said that a school district police officer was not in the school when 18-year-old gunman Salvador Ramos arrived around 11:30 a.m. Tuesday, and, contrary to their previous reports, the officer had not confronted Ramos outside the building.

Instead, Ramos entered the building ”unobstructed” through an apparently unlocked door, said Victor Escalon, regional director for the Texas Department of Public Safety. Local police officers entered the building four minutes later but were driven back after exchanging fire with the gunman, he said."


So they got there 4 minutes after him attempted to deal with him and then were driven back and allowed him to slip into a classroom full of children?

I mean...come on man. That's indefensible.

My go-to movie is don't be a menace to south central while drinking your juice in the hood.

Goodfellas is an all time classic.

Karen Allen was in that movie, he played a sicko
