Don't run on the field in Philly.....

I got no problem with it. Personally, my fave was at the Panthers/SF game in Death Valley Clemson (yeah, that long ago) when a fan ran out from the endzone. A guard/cop in pursuit actually dive tackled his knees from behind causing him to slam down head first on the field. The crowd went nuts and i bet his face had some damage. I loved it.

The whole thing is a clusterfug from a liability standpoint.

So you tackle the guy and he slams his head on the ground and gets a subdural and dies.

You taze the douche and he has a grabber and dies.

Instant dbag turned "victim of excessive force" nonsense.

Dunno, but one of these days, somebody is gonna do something very, very bad. Worse than what happened to Gamboa or the tennis gal that got knifed, some kind of real "statement" of perhaps a geopolitical nature and then we have a serious poopstorm.

Not sure what the answer is, since I doubt tazing will deter any of these guys.

We may see the day where our view of sporting events is obstructed almost like hockey plexiglass to prevent anybody getting out there. We all suffer the stupidity of just a few.

I think umpires should start carrying tasers. If a batter is caught looking at strike 3 then instead of calling him out, the ump should just tase him. TV ratings would improved dramatically.

2nd basemen or SS should carry and blast whomever tries to break-up a DP....or just blast A-Rod whenever they please

Definitely excessive use of force there. He's a 17 year old kid acting the fool. He's not a dangerous criminal threatening someone. Running onto the field during a public sporting event does not deserve being electrocuted.

Law enforcement is cleared to use a Taser in ANY circumstance where a subject is poised to ACTIVELY resist a direct order... This includes, but is not limited to, running onto a ball field, where security does not know your intentions, and acting afool... The officer, regardless of public perception, was 100% within his SOP for doing this... He will be covered, and cleared, from any legal liability...

And I assure you, as someone who has rode the lightning, it WILL BE the 'once in a lifetime experience' this young man was looking for...

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
