Suing the woman, and the O'Keefe Media Group who put her up to it, for invasion of privacy and a host of other torts. (IANAL, of course)
As if online dating isn’t hard enough. Now people have to worry about this stuff on top of all the other concerns.
I mean, there's some discretion expected here too, from media professionals. I'm not sure I'd talk shit about my employer on a second date. If it's a second date, I'm probably not really trying to impress her / make a big first impression at this point, what's the big rush? Maybe some whining about office politics and That Nosy Jerk in Accounting who annoys me. But I think most people in a position to say something damaging about a culturally important company are also wise enough not to just yak about it to anyone.
You never get the full context with these videos. Someone at my client had the same thing happen to him via Project Veritas. He wasn’t a high up staff member but lasted about 3 months before leaving due to the embarrassment. Every single one of us has made comments that, taken out of context, would look really bad. It’s just a crappy way to lose a job. He’ll rebound and be fine but it’s definitely a learning experience for him for sure.
We have a winner for most disingenuous answer of the year
Yes and no. Obviously Goodell is as full of shit as any person ever.
Friday nights are typically poor TV ratings nights, which is why series pretty much never run on them. It was also on Peacock, which is obviously subscriber only outside of local area markets. The game only averaged 14M viewers, so so it actually brought down the average.
I mentioned this in a previous thread, but I am not a Peacock subscriber but each peacock only game has been available to view on NBCSports.com so far.
Wonder what Bryce’s trade value is right now. He has been consistently awful since basically Day 1. Just feels like another high profile QB bust.
What's it mean that his advanced metrics last season are better than Caleb Williams this season?
Feels premature. You drafted a guy #1. Give him this season. If no improvement, you know what you need to do in the draft.
They did the exact same thing last year. At the exact same time.
Idk man, best shot for this kid is to sit for a while and maybe even try to go somewhere else
I think it also might be a case of "let's see what this offense we just poured resources into looks like", if Dalton flops you can feel good about saying it's a line/playcaller issue, if he turns you into a real NFL offense it's Bryce.
Jacoby obviously takes his designation as a "placeholder" very seriously.
So - Minchew has a really high completion percentage but still average outcomes of passes, so he's completing very conservative throws? Or is that already considered for CPOE? If it's already considered, is he really bad on rushes/penalties?
Honestly? It's pretty much what I'd want out of a guy on that role thus far. Needs to be more aggressive, but so far he's outperformed my expectations.
the Carolina OL has actually been competent. Young barely saw any pressure yesterday. Still early obviously but their plan of spending lots of money to fix their line seems to be paying dividends even if they overpaid for their guys. Ekwonu looks better now that he’s not next to 3 turnstiles.
Oh, I know, it was just that JB jumped out--or rather, didn't jump out--at 0/0 on the graph. Didn't really need a picture to know that Young stinks, although it's a pretty impressive graphic in that regard.
Yeah, I’m not posting the graphic if he’s just Nix or Richardson-bad this year, notwithstanding those guys don’t already have a horrific year on their resume. This is the worst extended stretch of QB play we’ve seen in at least around a decade.
I'll be honest, dude's dot is so far down the graph I didn't even see him. My bad.
All good - I was marveling at the impossibility myself. He certainly hasn't had the best surroundings (as expected to be the case for a guy whose team traded their WR1 and a bunch of draft capital for and first coach was a total bust), but at some point you have to make the slightest bit of chicken salad.
I actually watched his game vs the Chargers and felt genuinely bad for the kid. It did look like he'd given up. Which is not good given it's just season 2/ game #2 and he has a new coach, a supposed QB whisperer who is as upbeat as can be. Personally I think Canales is a fraud, but can't blame him for Young.
I know those guys have thrived (to the extent you can call it that) since leaving Carolina, but neither were as bad with the Panthers (Darnold's 2022 was pretty decent in a limited sample size) and at least had stretches of NFL-caliber play before that. Young has been breaking graphs-level bad. He's just too short and small to overcome any kind of disadvantage.
Baker broke the rookie td record his first season and went toe to toe against Mahomes in the playoffs a couple of years later. There were plenty of flashes with him.
