Another Foot Found

I know there is a thread somewhere, but I couldn't find it.

Another detached foot has washed up on a beach in British Columbia, reports a Canadian news radio station.

The discovery was reported late Sunday by News 1130 in Powell River.

The station's website says the find was reported by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, which says it's a running shoe with what appears to be human remains inside. The foot was found on a beach in Powell River.

The B.C. Coroner's Service will now be investigating whether the remains are in fact human, News 1130 reports.

If the foot is in fact human, it would be the 11th detached foot to wash up ashore in British Columbia and Washington state over the past few years.

Seven detached feet have washed up in British Columbia and three have been found in Washington state.

All but one of the previously discovered feet were in running shoes.

When will they admit they have a serial killer in the area?

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
