Man, I hope he was fast!
It’s because he’s a world class BJJ dude who would be putting his multi-million dollar contract at risk if his innermost secret thoughts were revealed. Oh, and that he resorts to hurling childish insults as his “death curse” (that’s a Voldemort reference for those of youse who don’t Harry Potter).
I was watching the Philly football game, and the thought popped up -what ultimately happened with the Dallas Goedert football? (he was having a Pro Bowl season last year before getting hurt)
I can’t quite remember what you’re talking about…did he give a football to the bar he was assaulted at or something?
You asked if he was any good, because he offered up a signed football as an apology for causing a disturbance.
I think they can be pretty funny. I don’t think my wife would like the humor lol. I used to watch their lifting stuff.
I don’t use the word (other than when rapping to myself). I don’t have anything I really disagree with that you’ve said. I’d just like more people to consider context. I don’t believe their is anything evil about the grouping of letters that create the word. Using it as an insult is bad for sure. Some non-black person saying it in a movie to accurately depict a character should be acceptable, but still many are not okay with that. Which is what I think the thread title is about (although I don’t know much of anything about Harry Potter, I believe just saying “Voldemort” was prohibited).
Oh yeah. I think I just hadn’t heard of him, so I wondered how great a gift it was, haha.
As far as I know the football is hanging in a case above the bar. I haven’t been in there since I stopped working there.
Another South Dakota kid just joined the NFL - Tucker Kraft, a TE for the Packers.
It wasn’t illegal, people were just so scared of him that even saying his name brought up bad memories and fear.
Let me have my nerd moment.

Just a guy, unfortunately.
I figured. I don’t think he’s Native but he grew up on my reservation. Must be a farm kid because there were videos of like a hundred people sitting in a barn watching the draft when he got his call, lol
Kraft is unlucky because he got drafted to the same team as a kid named Luke Musgrave, who has a chance to be a stud and will always be ahead of Kraft in the Packers pecking order.
Well, he is a bona fide NFL player!

If we’re doing nerd moments, it wasn’t just the memories. There was actually a curse that let Voldemort know whenever someone said his name.
The reason I referenced it in this thread is that there seems to be a similar curse on the syllables. You can’t utter those particular sounds. It doesn’t matter why you said or what you meant. Which is how the Voldemort curse works. Utter those sounds and Voldemort knows. No context or explanation is relevant.

I thought that just came into play in the seventh book, once he had taken everything over again? I didn’t think it’d been brought up in earlier books, or even in the sixth one, when everyone knew he was back but he hadn’t regained control yet.
True. People didn’t really remember why they shouldn’t say his name since he had been gone so long. But there was actually a good reason.

True. Better than I’ll ever be!
You use the term childish while making a reference to Harry Potter.

With regard to this thread, it doesn’t matter, does it? But I have said who my people are, I just don’t like to rub it in peoples’ faces.
@jshaving i think he is a spaghettio.
