Just as a warning, it is probably going to be a really really odd movie.

Oh, by the way, anyone defending this guy is doing it because he is white. I have officially decided to start saying that anytime anyone white defends a white person.

He wouldn't put his hands behind his back to get cuffed. They tased him, then cuffed him. That is pretty much what you do. You used to put a knee in the back of their neck and give punches or shots with a batton to the ribs until they move their arm back there. You have to be kidding me with the "he told the cops that he would walk out if they got off him". So the fuck what? He was under arrest at that point. There is no "I will walk out". No, you will put you fucking hands behind your back and get handcuffed because that is what they told your ass to do. I am pretty sure that is why everyone resist arrest. No, you and I wouldn't have done the same thing, because when the people that can put me in jail and have guns and pepper spray on their side tell you to get on the fucking ground, you do so and explain the unfoundedness of it later. And why do people keep saying "The cops could have contained him". Why are they supposed to even risk the chance that some asshole might punch, bite, kick or gouge out the eye of someone, even one of them trying to arrest him? Police officers do not need to take unncessary risk because some asshole feels he has the right to physically resist arrest because he thinks it is unfounded. The personal saftey of the officers involved is more important than the fucker breaking the law. Fuck him. And why exactly did the black cop only get him halfway out? Because he started pushing them again. Once again, fuck that guy. They didn't tase him for grabbing the mic. They tased him for not putting his hands behind his back. THey were escorting him out the building and he became Pushy McResist arrest. They asked him to put his hands behind his back numerous times, he kept saying no. They tried to take him out, he shoved the cops. What the fuck do you want them to do? Say "Oh, we were going to just escort you out but since you started pushing the cops, we better do what you say." Once again. Fuck him. They didn't give a fuck about grabbing the mic. He was interrupting the forum thus was being escorted out. Everything that happens after that was his fault. If any type of punishment happens to those Cops it would be pure bullshit.

this is sarcasm, right? No, I am not. Just like back in the Rodney King days, police brutality was a serious problem. There were plenty of cases, on tape of obvious police brutality against people who didn't deserve it. Then comes some dumbass crackhead, hoped up on Meth, driving 120 in a residential area, is big as a fucking ox and after getting pepper sprayed and tased by two different taser guns is STILL trying to get up an go after the cops instead of lying down like he was asked and for some reason he was the example for police brutality. Fuck Rodney King. They should have shot his ass. that would have made him sit the fuck down. And he definately wasn't the best example for the police brutality that was occuring at the time. Right now people are getting tased by cops wanting to try out their new toy. LIke I said, that father getting tased while his newborn baby was in his hands would be a good story to talk about. But this asshole who deserved to get tased now have people in this forum and in other places talking about how incredibly wrong it was and police are out of control. Using assholes who deserve what they got to prove a point Rodney Kinging it.

Halo was a big deal when it came out because I don't think there were any console FPS that were nearly as good as it graphics wise(gameplay was okay, I just didn't like it). Halo 2 was a slight step up, I never played the multiplayer which is what everyone creams theri pants over. The game looked pretty much the same to me though, and once again, I didn't really care because I am not that much of a FPS fan. Halo 3 looks absolutely gourgeous though, and probably has the best lighting that has ever been seen on a console. I guess that it could be fun but at the same time...FPS. If you don't care for FPS you probably won't care for it. I wouldn't call the game overrated or mediocre though.

O.J. Simpson named in casino break-in
Ripper replied to milliondollarchamp's topic in Current Events
Yeah, don't get me wrong, if they had found him guilty and he spent the rest of his life in jail, I wouldn't have blamed them one bit. I only recently heard about the Jason Simpson theory and honestly, I does sound pretty damning. But I never felt that OJ himself did it but had a whole lot to do with it and still needed to be punished. -
Man. People are Rodney kinging this kid. You can not be serious.
-
How was it gimmicked in season 4 or five? Or Six for that matter.
-
So we are now saying we are in Iran because some guy pushed around some cops, kept resisting arrest and got tased? Really?
-
He initially had a 10 percent stake. Apparently he sold some at some point. Forbes said he netted around 100 million. so I guess after taxes too, that took him all the way down to 100million. Poor 50.
-
He didn't make that much money off of that deal. As in not half a billon...he made alot. Like 100 million I think. Which is a shitload money. He should still retire.
-
And Tony Yayo doing that punch worthy dance in the background. And by the way, if making an album, it never getting released, being shot NINE(two) times and getting dropped from your label isn't enough adversity in the music industry, I don't know what to tell yah. 50 has three subjects. I have money, I am gangsta. I got my money by being gangsta. Thats it. People realize that a mansion in upscale Conn. isn't exactly where most gangsta activity is occuring. They also realize that yes, indeed, 50 has money. No amount of music he releases will change that. Thus people are tired of him. I guess that whole "I don't need Dre or Em to sell an album" isn't working out to well for him. All BS aside, 600k in the current market is still a pretty good first week.
-
I would go with Ryan Leaf. His refusal to get the surgery on his wrist was baffeling to me. I figure that he would have eventually stop being a young dumb hothead and gotten it together. Then he retired at the ripe old age of 26.
-
Well that and he was fucking horrible. I don't feel bad for him. That guy was just awful. Yeah, others on the team were awful too, but he was really really bad.
-
Cade McNown was on his third team and had intrest from some others before he tore his shoulder up.
-
Eh he was accurate when he had time(which oddly the same sports radio guys that said it was his fault last year are using the line and the recievers to defend Joey Harrington now) and the only problem with his decision making was his thought that he could escape any sack situation. Oh and that whole killing dogs thing. And once again, I could give two shits about the whole black Qb getting a smaller window for success thing. Because like I said, it only applies in cases of where the guy has no business under center in the NFL anyway. They should get cut because the suck horribly.
-
Halo 3... And that makes sense.
-
I don't get when people bitch about why didn't the cops just physically take the guy since he was resisting. Yeah. Because the best way to do things are the most difficult and dangerous ways. This isn't a case of dumb tasering. When that dumb cop tasered the guy holding his newborn baby in the hospital, that was stupid. When the cops tasered that woman because she was on her cell phone when they told her to get out the car, that is dumb tasering. Tasering a guy that is actually resisting arrest is not something to rally the troops over. Don't pull a "rodney king" with this guy. Get pissed at the actual times where it was dumb or wrong to taser a guy.

Yes, getting called in for a workout with a team does show that said team is giving you a chance to make their team. And yeah, the days of noone will sign you after a great college career are over when it comes to black QB's, but lets not pretend that line of thinking doesn't still exist when it comes to black QB's. There was no mass lobotomy for people that were around in the 90's. The stigma is still out there. And with every massive failure and sucky player like Smith, the stigma is still validated to some. And once again, the same Owners are still in place from that era. the GMs of now were players of that era where alot of them agreed with that line of thinking.
-
The bucks just want something in return. They don't want him back either. They are trying to see if Miami does a sign and trade for...well...I am not really sure...but for someone.
-
The whole gay marriage thing is stupid. Mostly because marriage is a religious institution that the goverment at some point decided they needed to have legal input. Christains, Hindus, Buddist, Muslims, whoever all have the right to be against gay marriage because it is against the beliefs of their religion(and once again, marriage is a religious institution) The government, in making itself a factor in marriage, created this whole debate. You can be married right now if you are gay, the government just won't recognize it, which no one would give a shit about except they are busy giving straight married people benefits and such. If you cut that crap out, out goes the entire gay marriage debate.
-
Yeah, but that was Stone Cold. He doesn't have the look of Hollywood hero. Villan maybe. But the fact he Can't act doesn't help either. Plus there was alot more wrong with that movie.

Akili Smith got picked up...multiple times. He wasnt good enough to even make a team's training camp. Tavaris may never see the field again after the mid point of the season but that has nothing to do with race. This past Sunday, he played like a SWAC QB playing against a NFL defense instead of an NFL QB. No he didn't Akili Smith played 2 games in his NFL career and was nothing more than practice squad fodder after his first attempt at a NFL QB. Am I saying he deserved another chance? No. He sucked. But at the same time, look at Tim Couch who got chances at Cleveland, Green Bay, Cincinnati, Chicago, Tennessee, Miami, Pittsburgh, Houston and Jacksonville. Or Ryan Leaf who got chances in San Diego, Tampa Bay, Dallas, Seattle and teams were still interested when he just decided to retire. What do all these guys have in common? They sucked and should be cut. But with black QB's like Akili, sadly, alot of people still expect them to not be successful NFL QB's because they are black. And alot of people from that era of thinking happen to be GM's and Owners now. Do I think GOOD Qb's face more flack because they are black? Of course not. Its about performance and wins (Unless you play in Atlanta or Philly...or you are Peter Noone). But when it comes to the hangerons trying to make a team, I think that black QBs have a harder time because, like I said, like it or not there is still a certain stigma attached to black QBs.
-
Okay, Chicago is a bad example. But he is the guy that most obviously needs to be benched in the NFL. Oh yeah, JP Lousman. I seroiusly doubt the experiment would have lasted this long if that was a black QB, but cause like it or not, that traditionalist view of the QB position is still very prevailent in the NFL. I personally don't care because it only applies to people that need to be benched anyway. NOONE is going to bitch over a good black QB or a good white QB. Unless you live in Philly or Atlanta.

He went 11-5 in his first year at QB, and even though people want to blame him for that lost to Denver, he was awsome in the 4th quarter and they were still in that game. The next year(98 I think) when Gailey left, Thigpen left, and both tackles, the offense sucked and it had reason to. Then he was moved back to the bench until 2000 when he led them to a 8-4 record when he took over for Kent Graham. They also happened to rebuild the offensive line. Kordell then went 13-3 the next year as a starter. He was benched in the 3rd game of the next year. After sucking for 9 games in Chicago, that pretty much ended his career. My point is that I don't think that a guy that had a 13-3 season, a 8-4 season and a 11-5 season can be lumped in with the "that guy sucks and can't play the position". Its not his fault the the Pittsburgh line sucked in 98-99 and they had no playmakers at the reciever position. Kordell wasn't the greatest, but he got plenty of chances because the guy was a little above average at the QB position. Can you really say the same thing for Joey Harrington?
