Employers, Recruiters, and HR types have their own little codes to convey information within the bounds 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next thing you know the NFL will move the Jets to Tehran though at that point, I would begin questioning if it is cruel and unusual punishment.

Hearing the same - and that they targeted the SAM sites. Which means Iran has a big hole in their air defenses until they can buy new ones/Russia can send some (which might be tough considering they're using them in Ukraine). If true, that would make Iran a little less likely to poke the bear until that's shored up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People - not just Iranians, but Western "defense experts" - have been bragging for years that Iran's SAM systems were dangerous to the point of being undefeatable. Which just goes to show how much that commentary has been worth. It ain't the missiles, it's the C3I that counts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nanker Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Let’s not forget the Polo Grounds. “The Polo Grounds also was a premier venue for professional and college football for decades, hosting hundreds of games. It was the home field for Fordham and Columbia and hosted many traditional Ivy League rivals, as well as the revered Army-Navy game nine times. The Polo Grounds was home turf for the New York Giants football team (referred to as the “Football Giants” by the newspapers for clarity) from 1925-1955 and later, the New York Jets (originally the Titans), for their initial three seasons, 1962-1964, in the upstart AFL before its merger with the NFL in 1966.” Polo Grounds History 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
