  1. how would the refs controll that, thats basically how you tackle unless you just throw your body at their legs? really, can anyone explain on how a tackler is supposed to tackle a runner if you cant grab onto their waist from behind? Smaller players like cornerbacks allready get out of the way of big running backs, i see it every game so most they do is try to grab with their arms from the side or the brave ones throw their body at the side of the legs and others grab onto the waist hip drop style and ride them down.
  2. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell told reporters on Wednesday at the conclusion of the December League Meeting in Irving, Texas, that he would prefer to see the hip-drop tackle eliminated. "Hip drop, I would tell you, I think we all should work to get that out of the game," Goodell said. "You see it escalated in the number of times it occurred this season. The injury can be very devastating. We saw that also. It's not just happening at the NFL level. It's also happening at other levels. (It's) something I feel like we've got to work very hard to get that removed this spring." NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent echoed Goodell's stance when addressing the media earlier Wednesday. "I think we have to now," Vincent said of removing the hip-drop tackle. "I think a year ago when we actually brought the hip-drop or the version of the tackle that we were seeing on the video, there were some clips that we had no clue what we were talking about. In their mind, never saw it before, don't teach it. Others were not actually teaching a version of it with the intent of injuring a player, but versions of the tackle. All of this is in that family of when we saw the hawk tackle and people adjusting to getting the head out of the game. "One thing that we can do today is define what that is. It is the grip, it's the rotate and it's the drop. Those three mechanics show up on that play." The hip-drop tackle has become a topic of conversation as of late due to injuries caused by the style of takedown. On Monday night, Miami Dolphins superstar receiver Tyreek Hill suffered an ankle injury when he was tackled in a hip-drop style, missing nearly two full quarters of action before deciding to play through the pain in the second half of Miami's eventual loss to the Tennessee Titans. In the college ranks, Florida State quarterback Jordan Travis suffered a broken leg as a result of a hip-drop tackle, ending his season and eventually leading to a controversial snub of the Seminoles by the College Football Playoff selection committee. The NFL has already gone out of its way to eliminate other forms of contact in the best interest of player safety. Horse-collar tackles were outlawed after receiver Terrell Owens suffered a broken ankle when he was brought down by the rear collar of his shoulder pads late in the 2004 season, and the NFL has made a continued effort to take the head out of the game, penalizing players for initiating contact with their helmet. The hip-drop tackle could be next. "It's a gruesome play," Vincent told reporters on Wednesday.
  3. back in 1992 while living in Detroit Lakes, minn i was a certified Ski-Doo snowmobile technician working at a ski doo- john deere dealership. Come dec at x-mas time there was no snow on the ground. I and the salesman looked out the windows and knew we were screwed as the prime selling dates had long passed and now the boss was paying the floor plan interest on all the sleds sittin in the showroom. Come late january the Ski doo reps and accountants along with 3 tractor trailers showed up in the parking lot and loaded all the sleds, clothing, helmets, parts and banners from the store and off they went. We were no longer in the snowmobile selling business. There is not alot of profit on the sale of a new sled, around $200.00 to 400.00 was the range, money was to be made by selling the clothing, parts and repairing sleds.
  4. I just last night downloaded a movie named, Mending the Line, I had no idea it had alot of fishing related stuff in it pertaining to your post. I thought it was a war movie, man was i surprised, my wife even cried at the end of the movie.
  5. how many did you take into the bathroom with ya?
  6. yeah thats true, kinda like the packers jordan love a few weeks ago had tha same problem, now he looks much better with the o-line protecting him for the last 2 games. Will see how love plays against the chiefs sunday night.
  7. well its been 2 years and i want to delete more photos but its not working like it did 2 years ago, no box to click in? am i loosing my mind?
  8. Carolina owner messed up and drafted the wrong quarterback, a tiny Young out of Alabama. This is from a draft profile> Size is an issue, and it's one that is impossible to correct over time. Young is both short and slight, with a small frame that he isn't going to be able to transform. He dealt with a shoulder injury last year, and durability is a legitimate concern considering that his ability to create late in the down is something his team will want him to take advantage of at the next level. It's also fair to wonder if his vision from the pocket will hold up in the ultra-cramped spaces that are NFL pockets.
  9. he aint no tommy kramer. Glad the Packers dont play them ther bills, Pack probably win it.
  10. A year ago when wife and i went to Chicago i was seeing all the signs for toll roads as i was cruising 65mph into chicago and wondered where do i pay or is this free? I seen old toll booth pullovers but they were closed. Well i didnt worry about it untill i was in greenbay wisc a day later and asked a couple exiting their car with illinois plates whats with the tolls and they told me its my responsabilty to go online and register and open an account with chicago tolls or whatever it was and enter my license plate and approximate dates i traveled through. It popped up and i owed them like $8.00 from wisc border to chicago and back. If i wouldnt have paid i would have gtten a bil in the mail with a possible late fee.
  11. we went fishing this past saturday in n dakota, it was weather perfect at 50 degrees 5 mph wind. The dam river water was cold and clear the minnows were lively on the hook but no fish around. No bites no fish but learned a a valuable lesson at this dam, dont fish here after Oct 18. last year was the same exact weather on Oct 18 and we caught walleye limit along with numerous catfish, smallies. Exactly 1 month later the fish have moved out.
  12. One thing i just despise about auto shops is when they tell you that they did a courtesy car inspection after repairing your car and they checked and adjusted my tire pressure. I only trust my mid tier quality dial guage and checking tires in the morning or evening.
  13. its 7 am saturday and i stepped outside and the frost tickled my nipples, its a warm frost so we are packing the car to go fishing at the dam. First stop scheels for minnows. Hmm wear long johns under my pants or bring a extra pair of cold weather pants to put on for when the sun goes down?
  14. I knew i should have taken more acid in highschool.
  15. I plan on doing that just after i rotate the steering wheel and the windshield wipers.
  16. I run my tires in the summer at 33 psi, in the fall i keep them at 33 psi and when the cold hits i keep at 33psi. With the sun down and 33 degrees out i checked my tires and they are all at 28psi, a 5 lb drop since i last aired them up in september, so back up to 33 and will check again whenever the temp gets into the teens and stays there.
  17. Here in dakota it will start to get cold on monday, saturday its supposed to hit 50 and sunny with 6mph winds. I have our fishing gear all set out so when i step out on saturday morning and i feel some sun on my cheeks we are going fishing and no sun i will be going back to bed.
  18. I am good with hybrids, learn here how the toyota system works. https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-d&q=how+do+toyota+hybrids+create+electricty#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:9b440050,vid:UrSKcEe4u0w,st:0
  19. I lived there for 10 years, all i can tell you is that its dark and everyone lives on philippine time which you have to have lived there to understand what philippine time really is, it screws your brains time process up bad, right Navy Toad?
  20. I read the whole thing, i just like my explanation better.😀
  21. I use whatever my wife left in the shower for her legs.
  22. One thing i disliked about living in the philippines was that every day 365 days a year it was dark out at 6pm.
  23. Forgetting all the heavy mining equipment using diesel to rape the earth of the metals and then all the energy used to crush the materials and make into usable battery components. The battery factories themselves are huge consumers of energy to operate. We the people are being scammed. Just like ethonal fuel made of corn is a scam as the diesel used to plant it, fertilize it, harvest it, truck it and refine it is a negative gain.
