I'm with you on that haha. Frenchy is back in the ATL!

Anthony Kennedy could really fuck with the Republicans by having a sudden epiphany to vote on the liberal side. Then all hell would break loose.

Well that just makes things more interesting

I'm sorry but Wilson being all civil about what was a very shitty moment for his entire team didn't make me respect him any more. It just made him look fake. So many of you people probably act butthurt over losing things much less impactful than Super Bowls and yet you expect pro athletes to act different. Humans are humans man.

Well written article by Nate Silver on young Dems. http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/why-young-democrats-love-bernie-sanders/

Roe v. Wade, Gay Marriage, Obamacare, etc all overturned by a 6/3 majority Republican Supreme Court

Well I did grow up in Florida

Just as a point of reference I often ask people who are really spammy Bernie supporters (on Facebook) who they would vote for if Hillary beat Bernie in the primary. The typical response: I won't vote. That's part of the reason I can't get behind the movement yet.

In terms of both the amount and resistance of/to new legislation yes. That may sometimes have to do more with congressional circumstances though. Clinton had both houses of Congress in 1992. Bush Jr. (in hindsight much more centrist than he was given credit for) also had both houses (barely). The reality is the Republicans hold decent majorities in both houses right now. This bodes well historically for a Dem president to be elected but I just wonder which is better for retaking congressional majority in the long term, a more liberal candidate or a centrist one. Obama managed to get many things done while he could early on but I think big bills such a single-payer healthcare would be doomed for Bernie if there isn't progress in the congressional split.

I think it's a little short sighted to say no one has run on the ideals Sanders is talking about. The platform of being anti-corporate money, pro-socialized medicine, fix the income inequality is at least idealistically where Obama was in his early years. My question kind of becomes - what do you guys think would make a Sanders presidency any different? If you study political history, centrist candidates tend to do well and the idealogues always come back to the middle in one way or another to pass legislation. SirRichard I think your last point would be more accurate in saying that the new voting generation (18-28) hasn't had a chance to be fully invested in a candidate that matches their progressive ideals so closely.

I think you answered your own question.

I'd like to preface this statement by saying I was totally swept up with the Obama campaign in '08, canvassed for him in a swing state, etc. And for that matter I'm still undecided in this election but will definitely be voting Dem based on who's left on both sides. I just have to ask, is it wrong for me to be feeling some fatigue here on the whole ideological movement our generation has taken on since 8 or so years ago? Don't get me wrong, I fully support the LGBTQ rights, black lives matter, healthcare, marijuana legalization, progressive movements that have taken place in the last decade. I agree with a lot of the philosophical stances Sanders has on the economy and taxes. I'm just starting to get the feeling that our generation is becoming so movement obsessed that they're missing the bigger picture. I.E. - who the real enemies are to progress. Frankly, I've been a bit turned off about how in your face so many of my friends seem to be about Bernie without honestly having much in the way of fluency about the way our political system works. I guess I'm looking for something in the vein of personal opinion from some of you in here. In all reality I'll probably just get trolled, but such is VC.

Seeing as we have circled back nicely to my previous post. ....CRABTREE!!!!!!!....

Playing the non-troll card means we could just tell you to google it. Either way you should have expected the response you got.

There was nothing wrong with the 49ers use of tight ends. Vernon just lost his desire to make any effort to catch a ball not thrown chest high, slowly right at him. Even then he bobbled passes.

I never thought I'd be able to say this about trading a player for a late round draft pick... but Vernon Davis has not been worth more to Denver than their 2016 6th rounder.

Fuckin' Crabtree.

#1 offense vs #1 defense and this time Peyton actually has the better of the two situations.

Brady is choking

There is a bit of an entitlement complex with that fan base (and others like the Pats). The whole "we're too good so the NFL tries to screw us" mentality.

Nothing outside of rumblings from players about opinions either way. I think they have until Feb 11th to commit. Just wanted to change the subject..

I don't get it. When Illitch finally kicks the bucket he's going to leave that team in shambles with all the aging huge contracts. Can you really say that Upton is going to elevate the Tigers to WS winners? I suppose satiating the fan base in the short term is worth something.

Anyone else following the collective action lawsuit of minor league players against the MLB/MiLB for minimum-wage violations?

Just here for the Ry complaint about something after the Pats win

Most people at Niners Nation seem positive and/or excited about the hire. It's interesting to watch unfold at least, something Tomsula lacked greatly.
