    Some picks are right place right time, that one by Harris was a hell of a play.

    Dalvin Cook has no concept of ball security. I like what he brings to the table, but until he learns how to hold onto the ball, he's a liability.
  3. Mr. Brooks
    I tend to agree. Most troublemakers are just looking for A target, not necessarily THE target. If someone really wants to get into your house, they'll find a way around an angry Rottweiler. But usually any house will do, so they'll find one that doesn't have an angry Rottweiler.

    Lack of mlb experience isn't even a small concern for me. It's baseball, not rocket science. I think people that played it at a high level like to insist that it's more complicated than it is, but I don't think it's hard for smart people to figure out how it works.
  5. Mr. Brooks
    I agree completely. The divide in partisanship and inequality can't continue much longer at it's current pace, that's for sure.

    Pending the hand recount in Florida, and the run off in MS, and assuming the dems lose Alabama in 2020, they'd have to flip 4 seats (Pence breaks a tie, so dems need 51, 50 does them no good). Can you find 4 seats they can flip? I get a lot can happen in 2 years, but I find it doubtful they can.

    He posted under his real name way back when I was on the other local sports message board. He was very aggressive towards other people there as well.
  8. Mr. Brooks
    Wow, this sounds like a seriously unhinged person. I sincerely hope he gets the help he needs before he does something really stupid.

    Trevor Hildenberger was awful last year. If he's a "given", then I don't think the FO will have added much competition for the bullpen.
  10. Mr. Brooks
    At least we sent kids, and not cats. That could have gotten really ugly!
  11. Mr. Brooks
    Totally with you on Duran. I'd have him 4th in the system.
  12. Mr. Brooks
    That would effectively make the regular season exhibition games. I prefer less postseason inclusion, not more.
  13. Mr. Brooks
    Yeah, if the deep south doesn't want to be made fun of, they should stop voting to display the ten commandments in public schools, and stop having segregated proms.
  14. Mr. Brooks
    Someone explain to me how this is a better deal than Richardson and a 1st rounder.
  15. Mr. Brooks
    Lists like this tend to put more weight on ceiling than floor. I really like Thorpe's floor, but he doesn't really have ace potential.

    A good guy with a gun.... unless that good guy is black. A Black Security Guard Was Killed By Police As He Tried To Stop A Shooting https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/black-chicago-security-guard-shot-by-police_us_5be9a032e4b0caeec2bbcbb3 And yet there are still people that think police shooting innocent black men is not a thing. I'm sure they will find a way to blame the victim, somehow, in this one too.
  17. Mr. Brooks
    Clearly one of the best players, and person, to wear a Twins uniform. Best of luck in retirement Joe.
  18. Mr. Brooks
    Maybe, maybe not. It was a business decision. Plenty of people are capable of understanding business decisions are not personal. Others take it personally and never get over it. I don't think either one of us knows Buxton enough to know which one he is.
  19. Mr. Brooks
    Position isn't as important in today's NBA. It's not uncommon for teams to play 3, or even 4 wings at a time.
  20. Mr. Brooks
    But it hasn't been decades for every rural area. Many rural areas in the Midwest have voted Democrat as recently as 2,4, or 6 years ago.
  21. Mr. Brooks
    They sent him down to get an extra year of service time, not for arbitration reasons. That says they do believe in his potential. Otherwise, why would they want that extra year?
  22. Mr. Brooks
    It won't matter. The only people capable of seeing it are the people who are already opposed to Trump. To the rest, it's fake news.
  23. Mr. Brooks
    1) I'm not sure I agree a 2nd round pick is worse. It's not like we're talking about a solid player who is unfortunately overpaid. We're talking about one of the worst players in the NBA. According to the advance metrics, Wiggins has negative value when he's on the floor. You literally need someone else to play good, just to get back to even. 2) But, regardless of point 1, you aren't really replacing him with a 2nd rounder. You are replacing him with whichever FA you can get with all that saved money.
  24. Mr. Brooks
    I haven't given up.
  25. Mr. Brooks
    I have read every available piece of information I can find on this case, including 22,000 pages of court transcripts, and many viewpoints from both sides. My conclusion is that when it comes to Steven Avery, you are correct. I believe there is enough mishandling of the investigation, suspicious behavior by the cops and prosecutors, and failure from his defense, that Avery deserves a new trial. But yes, there is more that we aren't seeing on MaM that isn't good for Avery. He'll never be considered for a pardon, he'll need to get a new trial. Not Dassey though. Not one shred of evidence that corroborates the State's version of events, aside from his confession. There are a few rumors, theories, second hand statements, etc., but nothing that I'd classify as evidence. Someone claimed he came home that night with blood on his jeans. But no bloody jeans were recovered, so without that evidence we have no idea what was on his jeans, if anything. I find it simply beyond plausible that someone as slow as Dassey committed everything that the State's version of events would have required, without leaving one shred of physical evidence behind. It's an outright shame that he's spent a day in jail, let alone 12 years.
