I don't think it's putting someone on a pedestal to expect them to not use "f*g" or throw the N word around. That's just common decency. I could care less what other expletives they use- hell, I curse quite a bit myself- but those particular words are just offensive.
That being said, I did...
Re: NFL looking to ban long hair flowing from helmets - Are you for it or against it
Because if you don't allow people to tackle by the hair, you're giving an automatic advantage to anyone with long hair... if it's covering the back of someone's jersey, how exactly are you supposed to...
Reminds me of this quote I read a few years back re: Sapp.
“He talks too much, he doesn’t make sense, he’s fat, he’s sloppy, he acts like he’s the best thing since sliced bread. He’s ugly, he stinks, his mouth stinks, his breath stinks, and basically his soul stinks, too."
So yeah, thanks...
You know, it's interesting that you mention this, because I think the "us against them" thing has made me care more about the pats as well, although I consider myself a pretty devoted fan of both teams. Part of it may also be high expectations- it's obviously easier to see your team lose when...
I have to strongly disagree. Besides the fact that Tyler doesn't have many "hard fouls" to react to, because opponents get whistled for breathing on him too hard, he's the very epitome of "he can dish it out but can't take it". He is a tough physical player, but if anyone attempts to get...
um, weren't they charged with trying to sell them? at a pawn shop? that's not exactly the same as returning them to their owners.
and no, I'm not sold on the old "rough upbringing" excuse. look, if they can turn their lives around, great. but that doesn't mean they get a free pass when they...
I don't watch baseball, so I don't really care about the red sox.
and although I don't do background checks on the football players I watch, I tend to not care for those who have criminal records. and if I found out that an athlete I admired had done something along these lines, I would lose...
yes.
because they represent the school. it's a privilege to play for your school, not a right.
in many cases, conviction of a felony would lead to loss of a prestigious scholarship like a fulbright. and it should.
ask any faculty member, and they'll tell you that athletes get all sorts...
I think part of the issue was that a punishment was not handed down by calhoun. you can't compare these players to other random students, because they represent the university on a national stage, and athletes are routinely punished by their coaches for behavior that wouldn't get other students...
Re: Spector is a pompous...
Those are probably the main reasons... but if he were just trying to screw the NFL, there's no reason to investigate only the Patriots. He could hurt the NFL far more by pulling a Mitchell report and trying to embarrass the entire league. So I firmly believe his...
Re: Spector is a pompous...
I've emailed Specter and Kennedy so far- Specter was probably a waste of time, because his comment form bounces your response if you're not from PA, and he's probably too crazy to listen to reason anyway.
But I think if the NE senators get enough emails from their...
more on topic, I've always liked sean salisbury. and in this case, I hope the other media idiots can stop running their mouths long enough to actually listen to him, because he has a very valid point here.
okay, regarding the red sports car analogy- some of you may understand statistics, but you apparently don't understand the difference between correlation and causation.
red cars are more likely to be ticketed and involved in accidents, yes. now, is that because the red color of the car...
there already was one. I'm not sure why that's so difficult to understand.
what's difficult for me to understand is why anyone would be okay with their senator spending his time, effort, and taxpayer money investigating an NFL rules infraction. I guess you don't think senators have anything...
actually, for those of us who don't go out of our way to talk trash or make anyone else feel like crap when their team loses, we feel absolutely no need to "eat crow". I never promised a win, and I never said or did anything that I'd take back now.
and personally, I don't enjoy rubbing...
rivers could've played with two broken legs and I'd still think he's a douchebag. I will, however, give you that he's reasonably tough. even if his method of demonstrating it involves talking crap to the opposing team's fans.
