Dozens of female students walk out of speech by fmr Seahawk Ricardo Lockette after he tells boys "men must take the lead" in society.

He was giving a speech at Garfield HS to an assembly of student athletes working to promote healthy relationships, and wound up eventually saying when a female student's being bullied or harassed, men must "take the lead."



A female student basically responded with "I don't need a man in my life to tell me what I can and can't do" and Lockette retorted "you can't do everything by yourself"

What he said right before the mass walkout was literally "If your daddy wasn't there, you wouldn't be in that chair."

Seahawks culture
 
Also how bad is the AFC North, you may wonder today. Besides the team with 0 wins

The Ravens and Steelers are tied for first (7-5). The Bengals have 4 wins, 7 losses, and a tie

The Bengals can still win the division if they win out and the Ravens and Steelers each only win one more time
But I want the Bengals to lose!!! Another ass whoopin in wildcard would be too much for this year. However, a top 8 draft pick like Barnett or Foster, that would be what we need to win in playoffs. Plus we got some injured rookies who come back and should help (William-Jackson 3, Billings). The draft tank should be on, except the Browns, we ain't losing to those shit buckets.
 
Is it more Ico or more SotC?

Way more ICO. Basically a role reversal of ICO. Not many large setpieces like many Colossi felt in SotC. Climbing around on Trico is a lot sketchier than Colossi because there's no dedicated grip button, although I instinctively held R1 for the majority of the game.

Fisher didn't know Snead got an extension and didn't know the names of the Pats' RBs. SO many have been blamed for his failures, it's good to see it fall where it has always belonged

my favorite ricardo lockette moment

Persecution Complex
Some observations:

1.) I said probably about 3-4 weeks back that only one out of the Giants, Redskins and Vikings would make the wildcard. Still think that's the case with the Giants being the team that makes it. The Packers, unfortunately, will most likely be the 6th seed.

2.) One of the reasons I don't think the Redskins will make it is they are a locker room full of ego personalities. That is the case of every team in the NFL but Jay Gruden is an egomaniac as well and your Head Coach should not be.

As a Head Coach you should not go to the media leveling complaints about your team. Ever. Mike Zimmer did it about 5 weeks back RE: his O-Line and I said then it would backfire. It did, you just can't do that when your the head of a Professional Football locker room.

3.) Jim Caldwell has to be a candidate for Coach of the Year. Have you heard much of Bruce Arians? All these boisterous coaches who give these loud mouthed press conferences.

Jim Caldwell benched Matthew Stafford against the Cardinals last year in what was probably the worst loss in the Matthew Stafford era. He benched Golden Tate against the Bears Week 3 this season. He benched first rounder Laken Tomlinson for a rookie in the middle of the season. That's how it gets done and the players have adjusted accordingly.

Lions fans, myself included, gave Caldwell a ton of shit especially last season. But he's been incredible this season keeping the locker room together despite the disastrous 1-3 start.

4.) There is not a single team in the NFL that wants to face the Detroit Lions. I can confidently say we can and will beat any team that comes our way.

Send the Cowboys, send the Seahawks, send whoever the hell you want. The hand of Matthew is guiding this team and that trumps all.

5.) Battlefield 1 is amazing.

Why doesn't Tomlin put in Williams or someone else in for garbage time?

I know that fantasy playoffs are about to start and nerds everywhere are looking for even single point but maybe he needs to see the forest for the trees and think about possibly protecting our best player on offense?

Just throwing it out there!

For the graveyard to offense has been, the Vikings defense has been incredibly healthy. That's over now that Harrison Smith may miss the rest of the year. Huge loss. Plays every down and is a force vs the run and pass

Every once in a while it just pops into my head, Antonio Brown and J.J. Watt combined for over 1,000 rec yards together at Central Michigan

JJ Watt ‏@JJWatt 5h5 hours ago
JJ Watt Retweeted James Palmer
That's like saying Klay & Draymond combined for 62 points last night.

AB had 980, I had 77 haha
AB is the truth.

You pay your players to play, not sit on the bench.

Not what I was looking to hear.

I still think the wait was worth it, but there's some niggling things that hold it down some. It was a given it would be closer to ICO than Shadow of the Colossus from trailers and demos. It honestly doesn't have a lot in common with SotC that didn't come from ICO.

It has a grip button - the o button. That's part of the issue though, you're not required to hold it down. Just press o to hang on and you're done. Hit x to release. This causes issues in that the animation you're in can be confusing as to whether your gripping or not. So you go to make a jump and you end up jumping around Trico's body instead of the ledge. It also doesn't help that the o button becomes the pet button as soon as your gripping as well. They could have resolved the issue by forcing the player to hold the o button and release to drop off. Move the pet function somewhere else. Also, the camera can be unruly as fuck at times.

I'd agree this is much Ico than SotC. Except you're Yorda now. I actually like that a lot. The complaints about Trico's AI? At least through 4 hours, I'm not seeing it. If you pay attention to what he wants, he does exactly what you need him to.

The issue with the AI comes when puzzles become a bit more obscure. You think you know the answer but aren't certain. You try it but he's a bit unresponsive. After a minute it doesn't work, so you try something else instead, when that actually was the right way and you needed a little more patience.
