Astoundingly, I find places like that stick around far, far longer than you'd expect them to.
considering the place is only open 2 days a week for a total 8hrs a day and this clown has no job i doubt his family will keep pouring money into it much longer.

The NFL is becoming more and more like the NBA with each passing season. Protecting and giving all stars breaks has eclipsed the integrity of the game. Referees are costing teams games, and the NFL has the audacity to tell coaches not to be upset.

It makes the game not fun to watch. Consider a game winning touchdown from the Eagles that should never have happened. Consider after said touchdown no call for a team celebration in the end zone. Consider Coaches getting ripped because they have an "L" on their record due to only bad officiating and the NFL doesn't want the coaches to speak their opinion.

As of now their needs to be a stronger voice for the NFLCA (if it exists, and it should if it doesn't) and not the NFLPA.

If this weekends games play out like lasts, I'll keep up with my pick'em leagues, but won't be watching any more games until the NFL has professional referees.

The human element always plays a role in every game, but the situation with the refs in the NFL isn't worth my frustration.

the nfl doesn't care cause you know what? people will still watch, and they're right. if anything more people will tune in to see if a train wreck occurs with these refs. as a cowboys fan this pissed me off. sean lee gets de-cleated by golden tate launching and helmet to helmet and that's ok, but on the tail end of that play they get flagged for pushing russell wilson out of bounds with one foot in. wtf
That's because that isn't an illegal hit on Sean Lee. Now if you were to say the hit on Heyward Bey in Week 3, you would have a case...

:( Was greeted by a crushed box in my mail today.

:) Thankfully it was diecast cars so they were ok inside among the padding. Also I made delicious burgers for dinner.

Is it vendor-specific? Or just networking concepts? (ie. subnetting, etc.)

Networking concepts. It's not too bad I guess, just isn't my thing.

I have an A but feel like I'm just getting through it by excessive studying and rote memorization.

so the launch, helmet to helmet is legal? you are crazy. not in todays football. fuck tate and his wwe rob vam dam gesture after the hit. cowboys should've earholed his ass next play.

edit: doesn't matter what we think, he was fined 21,000 for that hit.lol

That's essentially how networking works; rote memorization and google.
