It's semantics but we are talking about the same people / incident. Perhaps I'm misspeaking as well but they were terrorists who were trying to kill many people.

It's not semantics in the way she brought it up, though...plus it's more than a little scary that pretty much anyway someone decides to characterize facts is more than OK as long as there's some level of truth in there somewhere. That's how the whole "Redskin = bloody indian scalp" hooey got passed on as fact for so long.

This isn't upcoming but posting it anyway lol...it was pretty damn good...nice twists and some good dark humor thrown in at spots:

Good points.
Thing is, you can't cut Rhodes. He's one of the top corners around. Newman is a dinosaur. But didn't he have a good year? If not, he's the one I would make an example of. Since you, or someone, pointed out earlier that he has played under Zimmer for several teams. He of all people should know better. And should also know that Zimmer knows defense.
I just don't like this notion that it's Zimmer's fault, that a few of his players are dumbasses. To me, this doesn't reflect poorly on Zimmer. It's a cop out to put this on him. The way to correct this is to suspend or cut a player(s). You run what the coaches tell you to run. I'm glad Nelson torched those fools.
I think, for me, with the other issues that came to the team this season, this was more like the cherry on top than a singular issue worth firing him over. But like someone said above, someone HAS to answer for this, in some way.

A story I just read says that the DBs only ignored the game plan on the first series.
It also went on to say that the players that did it all have strong affection for Zimmer.
Zimmer shouldn't be canned. He's not a bad coach. Sometimes players are just idiots. If it were me, I'd suspend those guys for Week 17. Problem solved.
1) I don't know, those direct quotes from the players and coaches made it sound like it was far more than one series. But even one series is way too much and shows a definite level of disrespect to just blow off the head coach's game plan because "they knew as a team, as players" that ignoring the head coach was the best way to go.
2) Suspending guys for a meaningless game doesn't solve the underlying problem, it just punishes 2-3 players out of a game check and let's them start their offseason a week early.
3) Those players may have a "strong affection" for Zimmer but if they don't respect him, his position and his authority then that affection is irrelevant. I have no clue if players have a "strong affection" for Belichick but I know they hold a strong respect for him and his authority.

Well that **** didn't work out too well for those genius DBs did it lol
Not at all lol...but it shows just how much (or how little) respect they have for their head coach.

Zimmer is a good coach. He shouldn't get fired. I would bench/cut guys that were flat out insubordinate though.
His OC quits mid-season based on philosophical differences, his new OC has some of the strangest playcalls this side of "Three Skins red zone fades to a rookie WR who has been injured all offseason", his team is 2-8 over the last 10 games...and now his entire secondary just said "**** you" to his game plan and decided not to listen to their head coach.

Zimmer should be out the door as well now...
Minnesota Vikings DBs ditch Mike Zimmer's game plan
Minnesota Vikings defensive backs went rogue in Saturday's loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Coach Mike Zimmer planned for corner Xavier Rhodes to shadow Jordy Nelson the entire game. Instead, Vikings corners decided to each play their side of the field.
"To be honest, I really don't want to answer that," Rhodes said, via The Star Tribune, then explained what happened.
"A matter of fact, forget it. We felt as a team, as players, we came together and we felt like we'd never done that when we played against the Packers," Rhodes said. "Us as DBs felt like we could handle him. That's how we felt as DBs that we could stay on our side and cover him. In the beginning, we'd always played against them and played our sides, so that's what we as DBs went with."
Ditching the game plan helped Nelson go off in the first half. Aaron Rodgers' favorite target complied 145 yards and two TDs on seven first-half receptions -- some of that yardage came against Rhodes. The Packers led 28-13 before the Vikings got to the locker room and Zimmer took control
With Rhodes shadowing Nelson in the second half, the Packers' receiver caught two passes for nine yards.
"That's what he was supposed to do the whole game," Zimmer said. "Someone decided they wouldn't do that."
Zimmer said corner Terence Newman mentioned something to him on the sideline about the change in plans.
"In the first half when Terence Newman came over and said something to me like 'I can cover this guy, let me have him,'" Zimmer said. "I said, 'do what you're supposed to do.'"
Newman declined to comment on the issue saying simply, "nothing. I have no idea."

... and gets almost KO'd by the kicking net. Then a couple of first read check downs.
I thought the kicking net one was actually a highlight lol...I cracked up, and thought "Damn, how many players are these kicking nets gonna take out?"
The only good play I saw was the 18 yard scramble for the TD. Otherwise, same ole RG3 that got run out of town. Ugly.
The first throw I thought was excellent. We'd be raving about it if Cousins had thrown it.
But, yeah, the overall "highlight" video looks more like it's from a preseason game where the QB played for just one quarter lol...

Here are his highlights if anyone's interested....it's a short video lol....(gotta watch it on youtube):

Why am I not seeing any articles about how "dysfunctional" the Giants are?...they've certainly had more than their share of drama and PR black eyes to deal with.

Josh Brown getting just a one game suspension is all the proof you need that **** Goodell is John Mara's ****. It's beyond absurd.
Josh Brown admitted to physically and emotionally abusing his wife
Giants kicker Josh Brown admitted to physically and emotionally abusing his wife and called himself a sex-addicted "deviant" who viewed himself as "God" and his wife as "my slave", according to entries in his own journals, emails to his wife, and a letter he wrote to friends, which were obtained by SNY.
Those damning confessions came from journals and emails turned over to police by Brown's now ex-wife Molly, after the kicker was arrested in May 2015 and charged with a fourth-degree domestic violence assault, and released on Wednesday by the Kings County (Wash.) Sherriff's Office. The incident led to Brown being suspended for the Giants' season opener as punishment for violating the league's personal conduct policy.
Brown famously described the incident as "just a moment," even after police documents showed that Molly had accused him of "more than 20" instances of domestic violence. In his emails and journal entries -- part of 165 pages of documents released by the Kings County Sherriff -- he paints an entirely different picture.
"I have physically, mentally, emotionally and verbally been a repulsive man," Brown wrote in one of his journal entries. Just below that he circled the words "I have abused my wife."
Josh went even further in a letter he wrote to friends in March, 2014, apparently as part of his counseling sessions with Molly, saying his issues with his behavior towards women date back to when he was "molested as a young boy (around 6)".
"I have been a liar for most of my life," he wrote. "I made selfish decisions to use and abuse women starting at the age of 7 to fill this void. I objectified women and never really worried about the pain and hurt I caused them. My ability to connect emotionally to other people was zero. My empathy levels were zero.
"Because I never handled these underlying issues I became an abuser and hurt Molly physically, emotionally and verbally. I viewed myself as God basically and she was my slave."

Oh and in case anything thinks me saying I got an ESPN alert about this was a joke? It's not, I'm serious it was a legit news story from ESPN.
NFL has advised officials to be wary of defenders baiting Odell Beckham Jr.

In the the latest "What can we do to help the Giants" move, ESPN is reporting that the league office is telling officials to watch for ODB JR's opponents trying to provoke him. (per ESPN alert)
Are you kidding me? Look, I totally get that a lot of times the officials flag the player who does the retaliation and the guy who instigates often gets off free, however that is usually when it comes to personal fouls and extra curricular activity after the play(s). So I would like to get some kind of clarification on what "trying to provoke" means. The entire narrative that ODB JR is just "trying to go about his HOF career and everyone is being a meanie" is such nonsense. Maybe the guy is just mentally weak, or a typical 23 year old playing with grown men and they have found a weakness they can exploit in him and now the NFL is going to arbitrarily step in and say "nah, ODB Jr needs special treatment" Seriously?
And this, among other things, is one of the reasons why the Giants will in no way win the division or make the playoffs.

Messed that up.
We only have one loss in the NFC.
And we are ahead of the Giants either way because we beat them in head-to-head competition this season.
It's only 4 games into the season...I'm trying to figure out how anyone could forget who we lost to lol...

Ghostbusters (Girl Power Remake)
I really wanted to like this movie, and about a third of the way through I did. After that the many failings common when Hollywood takes something previously successful and tries to make something new, started to show. This movie would have greatly benefited had it been a sequel instead of a remake. The first two serving as guides instead of a corpses to pick through for shiny bits before being discarded.
Ghostbusters was always set in a world that played it straight. The comedy wasn't slap stick with everyone acting as goofy as possible, it was more subtle and sometimes dark. The only character that intentionally tried to make people laugh was Venkman. This movie was more along the lines of a big budget SNL skit in terms of humor. The cartoonish ghosts didn't help. Had their only sin been tinkering with the humor, I might not have been so disappointed.
Spoilers:
The plot was turned on its head in the worst possible way. Instead of Gozer and Vigo reaching into the world and dominating a goofy cat's-paw, Louis Tully and Janosz became the villains themselves. The angry nerd trope. Imagine Rick Moranis intentionally turning himself into Gozer because no one came to his party. That's essentially what they've done here. Worse yet, the ghost traps themselves are abandoned in this movie. Two thirds of the way through they create new weapons and these simply kill ghosts. Kill. Ghosts. ...
Despite the things I didn't like, the movie did make me laugh several times. Jones, Wiig, McCarthy, and McKinnon are a great cast. Other than the legendary Bill Murray I think this cast is easily argued as superior to the original movie. I wish they have been given a better script.
Worth watching if you have some free time. Average movie that provides some laughs.
Pretty much agree with all this, especially that outside of Murray, this cast is definitely better/funnier than the original cast. Loved Patty's line about having a cousin Mookie who's only half as dumb as Kevin and will work for Vienna sausages lol...Akroyd and Ramis were never very funny IMO and Hudson seemed more like a token black casting than an actual character (I know the part was originally written for Eddie Murphy, though).
Also Sigourney Weaver was horrible in the original...bland as hell, like they neutered her natural charisma based off her intelligence and just had her be the "love interest". Hundreds of other actresses could have played that role and the movie wouldn't have suffered one iota. Glad there wasn't a love story component in the remake.
Don't really agree about the ghosts, though...I was never impressed with the original ghosts (especially that "slimer" ghost, always looked silly and like a puppet) and not impressed with the new ones, either lol...

Saw "The Magnificent 7". A solid B.
Agree, although I hated the insertion of the word "redskin" when discussing bounties...I heard that and thought it's inclusion in the script was more political than factually accurate.
The last movie you saw......GO! (After you read the OP!!!!)

Atmospheric as hell. There's a palpable sense of unease from the first frame to the final one. Acting is solid pretty much across the board, with Shipka the most impressive. If you're someone who craves jump scares and a brisk pace in your horror movies, you may not get too into this movie. It's a bit more deliberate and has some mysteries and twists that need to be figured out. It's also a movie that you'll be thinking about the rest of the weekend. I give it a B+.
