I think your clearly butthurt about this..lol

Yes he is. With how he complain, cussing, & telling people to kiss his wide load ass like an immature child. No thanks, SLJ. Don't want you to fart a nasty one from the chili cheese burrito you ate last night. :eek:

And you don't tell me to shut the fug up, 'cause you need to big time with bashing religious people while acting like one with trying to force everyone to think like you. Again, you got a lot of problem there. So sad you're full of it too. :P :p

I hate the idea of Pascal's wager. Now granted, I only know it vaguely and haven't read his other works, but I could never get behind the idea that God favors a smart gambler. I understand what he's saying, but is that really believing? And more than this, is calculated belief enough to achieve the salvation that the wager seeks?

i hesitated to mention it for this very reason. it's honestly a selfish sort of existentialism... and i certainly don't think any acceptance of christian creed through that lens is in any way salvific. it's simply a tool that illustrates the gravity of the situation; it makes a lot more sense in the context of the Pensees. pascal spends the entire first third of the book breaking down epistemological illusions and when you're grasping for the meaning that has just been carved from your psyche he hits you with the wager.

it's genius. not theologically sound, but as a tool to illustrate a point - genius.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      That's part of being patient too. Not rushing players into roles they aren't ready for. Make them earn it. If you convince yourself that "so and so" needs to start because they were a first round pick, even though they have done nothing to earn it, you have set up both team and player for failure. You can convince yourself all day long that "there is no substitute for game experience" but if the guy can't do his job in practice, he can't do it in a game. Not consistently, anyway.  Teams like the Steelers, the Ravens and the Packers ROUTINELY bench rookies to start off with and no one bats an eyelash. Even if the team is losing. Because that's what they do. They have set the precedent. The players have to show they are ready. Then they get their chance.

      Let me provide you with some food for thought. Before this "now era" of the NFL, QBs were allowed time to develop. Everyone from the GM to the fans had more patience. QBs were simply better in the old because they were afforded the time to sit, observe and learn. It's no wonder that guys we threw away, or simply didn't want, have had varying degrees of success elsewhere.  Some Huddlers were talking crazy about Jordan Love and Lamar Jackson---just crazy...

      I think the JAG debates are largely people having vastly different definitions of JAG.  The OG JAG LB debate was James Anderson.  And James Anderson is probably going to be ahead of Shaq on my alltime LB list (it's really close though).
