Her personality detector must have malfunctioned.

The consensus about Carr's play with the Saints is definitely negative. I know he didn't win very many games, but his stat line seems really good: 40 TDs against 13 interceptions, a completion percentage around 68%, and 3 fumbles lost in 2 years. His passer rating for those two years is around 98.0 - 99.0. Sure, he missed seven games, but that doesn't make him a latter-day Brad Muster.

I'm not arguing that he was good, though. Instead, I guess my theory is that passing success in today's NFL is just incredibly cheap. I mean, back when I really closely followed pro football, those numbers would have been all pro caliber.

I suppose some people may find it fun to watch two football teams go out and throw the ball effortlessly for 3+ hours until one of them wins, 8 touchdowns to 7 or whatever, but that's just not good football to me.

I wonder if this seems more natural to people who grew up playing ball on a Playstation instead of a playground, but that also has an "old man yells at cloud" aspect to it that I don't completely want to surrender to.

So tell me... WTF did Carr do so wrong with the Saints?

No wonder the Germans overran the country so quickly in 1940. The French army was apparently too busy shoving their own ordnance up their arse to fight back.

To be fair, pretty much everyone in early 20th Century France was a fan of deBussy.

Flip the roles. Imagine the US is mainly black and you’re white. Add on to that you’re just trying to make it, but a substantially high portion of white people act out and give you a bad name. You’re just trying to get by, you go to an interview and you see nothing but black faces. You’re an outsider. There’s a disconnect there.

You just described my life here in South DeKalb. My wife worked for the school system when Horton was in charge. My kid went to one of his schools. Everyone else is black here.

You just get used to it after a while. Most people don't care.

El Paso is kind of nice.

I remember Car & Driver's review of the Saturn Ion back in 2002 being absolutely brutal, to the point that I later wondered if someone at GM (but not Saturn specifically) had put them up to it.

C&D also used to have an editor named Csaba Csere who was kind of the voice-in-the-wilderness about how shitty Toyota actually is. He may even have speculated, as I did, that the code for Toyota's ECU firmware was riddled with potential problems that could have caused unintended acceleration- speculation, I'd add, that turned out to be 100% justified.

The most brutal of the Csaba Csere takedowns have disappeared from the web forever... hmmm.

"Guys, isn't college football great now? We get to crown a REAL CHAMPION, not some loser 'school' like BYU or Georgia Tech that just got lucky! And those hard-working players are finally compensated for their groundbreaking ball-tossing and all-around good citizenship!"
