Fair enough. It's actually a very good word, though. One might say that Kim has the "best words."

Maybe he'll just build a bigger wall around the White House at a cost of $25 billion. Then you get your silly wall and this silly wish. Perhaps he can get the Warriors to pay for it.

Some of it is certainly not this: http://abcnews.go.com/amp/Politics/voting-systems-21-states-targeted-hackers-government-agency/story?id=50041816 That's for sure.

FEAR THE BEAR, DUCKS.

How's Milo's "Look At Me Week" going? Any updates?

You were fearing us much more today than in the past, FEARnando.

Of course, but this is the guy who won the job. I don't think the backup is truly any better. The guy with the highest ceiling currently (Garbers) is a true freshman and our commit for the next class is apparently good (Shrout).

Well... you were.

We'll get one, I'm fairly certain. Bowers has made some terrible decisions late in this game.

I don't know why we abandoned the run, but it was a bad call. You don't go away from what's working against a top 5 team as talented as USC.

You have made a prediction for any possible USC victory of 17 points or more.

Absolutely. I'm honestly really happy with our performance.

Whoa, that was a crappy TO. I will say this: it's insanely clear to me that this coaching staff is doing a damned good job at this point. I'm so impressed with the improvement in the defense.

It's so different from what we've come to expect.

I think they're great. I LOVE the Under Armour stuff. I imagine they'll do a great job for UCLA.

...and they're actually awesome.

They're throwbacks. It's the Joe Roth game.

While you're busy living in fear, why don't you drop into the CTE thread and join the conversation? It's important stuff.

Diiiiiiiieeeeee

Yep, and we're all guilty of this @mtangelsfan. The thing is this: I don't think that we're having discussions about this on the scale that we should be because people are legitimately afraid to have them. I know that "afraid" is a strange/touchy-feely word to use, but I think it's appropriate. We're afraid due to two reasons, IMO: 1) deep analysis will ultimately reveal that we're all complicit to a degree in the things that happen to these people via our desire to watch these sports (particularly football), and 2) we realize that if we approach this honestly we may lose this sport that we love so much. As to the notion that we can continue to tell ourselves that the participants want to do this and understand the risks: I felt that way, but given new research, it's not something that I think people can continue to do. New research shows that allowing kids to play tackle football before the age of 12 places them at significantly increased risk for behavioral/emotional issues later down the line: http://www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2017/09/19/youth-football-concussions As such, it's not like smokers, because in our culture if a person were to allow their kid to smoke, they'd rightly be considered a monster in doing so. However, especially around where I live in Texas, letting your little kid play tackle football is perfectly ok for most, although there is certainly a growing contingent of people that think otherwise. We're going to have a major culture shift in regard to this. Then, once the kids get older than 12, they get larger and they are exposing themselves to the risk of CTE. These NCAA and NFL players come from somewhere, and most of them are playing football as kids, and with their parents willingly participating. For every 1 dude that makes the NFL, there are tons of others that got their heads bashed in a million times that aren't even going to reap the rewards that the NFL dudes get. Exactly. I think there's far more to it. This isn't just about the NFL, this is about football in general. Perhaps changes at the NFL level can filter down. They'll have to. I think we'll see lawsuits at almost every level eventually, down to school districts getting sued. Money is going to initially drive the change, if it happens.

lulz

You've come around to despising Trump?

I just want to double-check before I say something kinda rude: Do you guys really believe that she actually would rather Kim be POTUS than Trump? I know she's a big mouth and a certain Hollywood lib, but I just wanted to check.

I hoping for the former, but I suspect you should stop buying lunch out of the back of some random stranger's hatchback.
