Recruiting Football Talk VIII

The Kremlin just confirmed it was Russian figure skaters. I’m not sure if Americans were on there too.

Uh oh. A US military helicopter crashing into a plane with Russian athletes on it? We know it’s probably an accident, but will the Russians think it’s targeted?

Highly doubtful.

Way better than the Super Bowl Shuffle.

Good grief. we have had so many close calls recently. We have to do better. Prayers for those who lost friends and family, but this should not happen. I am a huge aviation buff and follow several channels that report on things like this. Just awful. It looks like 70 plus fatalities.

With the number of drone pilots out there now I'm surprised there haven't been more collisions. I know they aren't supposed to operate over airports/military bases but many runways have low approaches. Especially smaller airports

 

[WesTnVol]

This is in no way placing blame, just comments I’ve heard this morning. Former military pilot said blackhawk pilot was probably flying with night vision googles, which limit peripheral vision He also said that Blackhawk pilot can be heard saying he had visual on jet, but as you can see in the video there were 2 jets in the area. The one on final approach and the one he hit
60+ people have lost their lives, because someone made a mistake.

Do any of you have a pit bull? Do they just want to lay right on top of you wherever you are?

You misspelled CRINGIER.

Romanowski says, "What's a concussion? If when you see stars, that's a concussion. . . there wasn't a game where I didn't see stars at least 1 time."

Other dude, "Man, that's 200+ games. . ."

 

[Enki_Amenra]

You misspelled CRINGIER.

Yeah, they should've just stuck with playing football.

 

[jave36]

Wow. That's incredible. How devastating for all those families in Wichita. That's a mind blowing level of negligence somewhere in the chain of communication at the airport.

From Wichita?

85 Bears had marketable stars…including Ditka, and Willie Gault had production connections. Only thing close on the Rams was Dickerson, and he was a great runner for a musical artist.

 

[Checker_the_Shire]

From Wichita?

Yes, but now official reports are also saying Americans were on the plane.

Are you saying that Jim Everett wasn't marketable?.

 

[Volator]

From Wichita?

They had become coaches who live in Boston and their son was a skater for USA. They trained various US skaters. Nationals were held last week in Wichita, thus several US federation skaters, parents, coaches and staff were on the plane. Very tragic (Wife follows skating)

 

[Enki_Amenra]

From Wichita?

Figure skating championships in Wichita, apparently. Husband and wife skaters from Russia and members of the US figure skating team onboard.

I've read it before because I remember laughing thinking "I'm sure the million dollar coach that's going to be on the hot seat now is really enjoying the added "character to the game caused by that missed call"

But, more broadly, there is a lot of resistance to other, non-human, solutions. Many think you simply need to throw more money and more hours at college refs and they'll suddenly become...what? awful NFL refs??


The whole notion that any human being has the sensory ability to accurately referree high-level sporting events is complete myth. At least not anywhere near the level that will be considered acceptable by coaches, players, fans. And now we finally have an "out"...and some still resort to "jUsT MakE ThE ReFs FuLL-tImE".

How are computers going to call fouls?....how can they make judgement calls?

I'll give you ball spots and what-not...but I don't trust that anymore than humans.

Wrong. The Super Bowl Shuffle was practically an apology. You can’t find anything in that snoozefest that can top this verse:
“I’m a mountain man from West VA; they call me Herc, and I came to play! I learned long ago to ‘ram it’ just right, so I could ‘ram it’ all day and ‘ram it’ all night!”

You forgot Big Bad Jackie killing it on the Sax!

Uncultured cretins, the lot of you.

Mine isn't satisfied if he's anywhere but on my face.

He's very upset he's now too big for anyone but me to pick him up. And I can only do that on special occasions lol.
