    I'm getting an error with them in Chrome. Any suggestions?

    Yup.

    I played only the defensive side of the ball in HS (teammated-voted MVP as ROLB, woot), so I probably have a bit of bias.

    When you play on defense, the first-person POV you get combined with the fact that the people on the other side of the ball know what's going on (and you don't) make some of the decision making difficult. Most of your brainpower is spent trying to figure out what's actually happening in front of you and who is going to try to wipe you out from that huge blindspot your helmet creates.

    Anticipating that a QB is suddenly going to slide in 1/4 of a second is the last thing on your mind. Hell, you might not even realize it's the QB. You just see a guy with a ball, and other people trying to get between you and him.

    My dad videotaped some of the games I played in, and it was a totally different experience from the inside-the-helmet experience.

    So... I saw Jigsaw in the theaters.
    When the movie was over I stayed to watch the credits to see if anything happened at the end...
    The most TERRIFYING image you could imagine appeared once the credits were done..
    Not for the faint of heart.
    But TOTALLY work safe.

    Really? Check which scripts are active when you have a HIT open, maybe one is interfering. I think most of us do them in Chrome, so that's not the issue. I have them open in Chrome right now just like I have the rest of the day just fine.

    They had 16 unique hits in sandbox earlier today when I checked.

    No one knows less about what's going on at Amazon than Amazon.

    @ChrisTurk I think the issue is the hit he laid on him was high and the kind they are trying to get out of the game. Even if he wasn't the QB they'd call it. I'll see what the former defensive players say, but that other player got a one game suspension for a hit during the first week of games I think. That was on a WR.

    He was going for his chest.

    It became "high" through the QB's sudden actions, not through the defensive player's actions.

    Blaming the defensive player for the hit would like be blaming a car driver for failing to stop on a dime when a pedestrian sprinted across the Interstate into 70mph traffic.

    @ChrisTurk I'm so going to sing this to him the next time I see him at his bar.

    Which is super rare these days but still, he'd laugh!

    I'm glad you've gotten some sleep in the last day. Good day for it too.

    I have no doubt they'll fine/suspend. I'm just saying Kiko's hit wasn't dirty, and doesn't actually deserve it.

    You can use any bank that does ETF transfers, so basically anything. I use my regular bank, it's a regional east coast bank.

    I have a credit union.
    Credit unions are always smarter than a bank.
