Eskimo Joe Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 The seasonal cicadas are really out in force this morning. Feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPE Posted August 29, 2021 Share Posted August 29, 2021 Looks like Dobbins is done for the season. MRI will confirm shortly. Totally sucks. Feel bad for him as he was likely going to have a monster season. Ravens will manage with Gus the Bus and others, as long as the OL is healthy and gels with the new pieces. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But this has nothing to do with Ida so I'll stop bantering Yup. My third-grader's bus was 25 minutes late on the first day of school and was 30 minutes late on the way home on Wednesday. It's a little frustrating, but it is what it is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was shaping up to be a big season for JK Dobbins...now, playing this season at all is in question. Not sure it can work any other way. At some point they have to actually play football. Going into your first real game without any preparatory contact can be dangerous as well. It’s just an unfortunate happenstance. It could have easily happened in practice. Look what happened to Teddy B. He was in a non contact practice when his injury happened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't she say that they wouldn't let her in the deep water? When I was watching Cantore yesterday, I thought that he may have had his crew push that dumpster through the shot to simulate the wind. It had to be staged that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2O Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 The thing that got me on tilt about Cantore was he purposefully stood at the end of an alley way where winds funneled between buildings jacking up wind speed artificially.

It is for theatrics totally agree. At least poor old AL Roker was getting lashed by the waves. :-) He had to try and get some street cred within the meteorologist community.

Stormfly Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I lost all respect for their reporting after they were busted in NJ during Sandy. Someone recorded them and put what you saw if you were there and what was on TWC for viewers side by side. TWC viewers saw a reporter getting pelted by sand tossed by (alleged) 70mph gusts. What (viewers) did NOT see were people out of frame bent over using their hands between their legs like a big ass dog picking up sand and tossing it so the wind picked it up making it look a LOT worse than it was. Then a few years later (Mathew IIRC) the reporter that can barely walk in such treacherous winds [sic] but they forgot about the happy dog owner walking in the background with no difficulty whatsoever, barely TS conditions! Let's face it, their viewership has tanked due to internet, apps, et al. So they have to sensationalize. After all, it's rather boring. Jim Cantore's THUNDERSNOW reaction videos, OTOH, are priceless! And yes, RIP John Hope. He was the voice of authority when it came to tropical. And apologies in advance if this was posted in the Ida thread... This is what 100+ mph winds look like for real! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnowenOutThere Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I used to love watching the weather channel, now I don't unless its winter and there is a storm. I would come home from school in 5th grade to weather underground (back when weatherunderground still was somewhat scientific and new) so excited to see the latest storms during the winter... never got those dark purples on the map though, always went to the north. Now I still like turning on weatherunderground if a storm is coming but its more of a memory/nostalgia thing, still can be ok to watch but not great for a main source of information.
