The right, but not the opportunity. A small percentage actually have that, in reality.

Roughly 50,000,000,000 people have lived. So, 500,000,000. Pretty high number actually.

The same can be said about people farting in a crowded elevator.

It is worth noting that the freedom to choose an employer, and have multiple employers to choose from, has been available to less than 1% of the human race. To speak of it as if it is a normal condition of life is misleading and misguided. NFL players are in a system that, should they be in the...

Random thoughts on this: -@mgteich's point is a matter of principle. It has nothing to do with how much they make, and arguments that the players high salaries are a trade for their economic freedom actually reinforces his point. -At the same time, very few people actually get to choose from...

It is amazing that an owner has a best chance of ending up in the hall of fame if he makes two good hiring decisions and then gets the f* out of the way. Best formula. Jerry Jones and that archetype don't see it as meddling, they see it as their job description.

If only that were true. The reality is that forums like this would get lit up even more so, the Boston media would have an influx of advertising dollars as their "reporters" and personalities went nuts on it, and the Krafts would have at least an 8 figure profit on the year while offering up a...

The Pats may end up having the best swing tackle roster in the League.

At this point it wouldn't be hard to create a VR experience where these guys are tested on their ability to learn and adapt in game situations. That would be a lot more useful at the combine than the physical drills.

I see what you are saying, but don't think that's the primary issue here. This is bigger than out of sight management practices. The Pats organization is mismanaging this, whether the stories are true or not. If they were competent with this, they would have anticipated the PR opportunity and...

He's like that in high visibility situations. He's not like that elsewhere.

We should set up a Bingo card for his favorite phrases. "Had a lot of production in college." "Played in a good program." "Great value for where he was picked."

He's already giving them ****. This is going to be great.

That's both new information for me, and a very funny description.

If "bust" is defined as "expectations vs. performance" then I'd suggest Harrison. He's being projected as "generational" which puts him in the class of Rice, Moss, etc. I suspect he's just going to be a good NFL receiver, not a perennial all pro.
