  1. The fact of her injuries is not in dispute. Who caused the injuries is not in dispute. The fact that Bauer gets off on violent acts towards women is not in dispute. The fact that she had some degree of consent made it difficult for her to win in a situation where there were no other witnesses. She did win a fairly large settlement.
  2. To be fair, those were claims made by Bauer’s side. You don’t know the provenance, timing or context of the texts or video.
  3. Sort of a right handed Badoo, hits lefties, can handle center.
  4. He’s got a lot of swing and miss, probably too much.
  5. If they sign a group the caliber of last year, but with better health, I’d be happy; Montgomery, Glasgow, Duce, Sutton, Moseley.
  6. No one said Detroit had the better roster. Does the team with the better roster always win? What is said is it took a series of improbable events and uncharacteristic play by Detroit for San Fran to win and that is the essence of luck. If you replay the Aiyuk scenario 100 times, Vildor makes the interception about 50 times and it falls incomplete about 49. That, sir, is luck.
  7. Pure, unmitigated, flukey luck. 90% of the league's receivers could make that catch after it bounced right back to him. Vildor deflects it even slightly, or it misses or deflects obliquely off the helmet, and there's no chance.
  8. Sure you can, sports are a measure of skill, a measure of luck and a measure of randomness. Not everything that happens can be attributed to skill. If you call an errant pass that goes though a defenders hands, hits him in the helmet and ricochets perfectly into the receivers arms while in midair, skill, you're nuts. If you call being gifted a fumble in the red zone, Detroit receivers dropping passes they catch in their sleep, desperation scrambles on 3rd and long by Purdy, who's slower than Goff, if you call that skill, you're nuts. Are they a talented team? Sure, but they got lucky.
  9. NO, he was asked if he was going to need any surgery for any of his injuries, he said he was going to take some time and have them thoroughly evaluated. He said NOTHING about contemplating retirement.
  10. The second half, San Fran got lucky, very, very lucky.
  11. No, he said he had to take time to figure out how to deal with his various injuries, nothing about retirement.
  12. She's long been a Gipson.
  13. Jung's arm is average, at best. Keith had a plus arm, but has needed to wind up and has had trouble with different arm angles, however, a lot of these defensive reports on him are post injury and after bulking up. Some training, conditioning and healing may offset a lot of concerns.
  14. You should be, you've wasted everyone's time with shallow, baseless assumptions, and then compounded it by continually doubling down with more of the same.
  15. Only that close because Stafford is surrounded by great players.
  16. Goff is faster than Purdy and has a much stronger arm. You are coloring your perceptions.
  17. From Lance ZIerlein scouting report, as opposed to some random fans baseless assumptions: Quality arm Makes all the throws and can sling the deep out with velocity and accuracy Clean release and snaps throws off with flick of the wrist Drives hips through his release for extra heat Pocket mobility and poise Maintains proper footwork and readiness to throw as he slides inside the pocket Speeds up internal clock when he feels pressure or recognizes blitz Pocket climber Able to run out of trouble rather than into it Looks the part of a confident, first round quarterback when working from a clean pocket Sells his play ­fakes with purpose and draws linebackers forward Has learned to expedite his throws from off­-balance angles due to pocket pressure
  18. Fortunately, none of the above is true. He has done all of those things. Watch some film and stop subscribing to fan stereotypes.
  19. It was a hell of a year. A tremendous amount of fun. About all you could hope for, lots of good players (and coaches) to root for.
  20. Sure, it doesn’t have to be sports, whatever you love and are passionate about. Go for it.
  21. Live life and do what, play video games? Striving for something, anything, is living life, and those lessons, even if you fail and come up short, are invaluable.
  22. That would cause the spread to narrow, not widen.
