He was a great stand-up guy in his day.

I find everything about most coffee shops to be stuck up except for the ones in Amsterdam, including barista.

The first graph shows all the teams. The Y axis represents the teams, "Frequency." Prior to the change, no team was over 56 touches per fumble, after the change no team is over 56 as well, except the Pats, who are at an astounding 74 (which includes all of Peyton's non Colt years). That's a severe outlier in stats terms.

On a side note, I'm so sick of every potential scandal ending in "gate" these days. I know the journalistic world has lost a lot of it's reputation lately with unnamed sources, false reports, quotes out of context, inability to proof read etc., but now they have lost all their creativity too? Just annoys the hell out of me for some reason.

Great article, thanks. The great thing about numbers and statistics is that they never lie, unlike Tom and Bill.

Wow, you are a real class act aren't you? You have quickly become one of the biggest tools on this site, congrats.

The episode in Band of Brothers called "Why We Fight" regarding the liberation of Landsberg is really good. Showing how even the GIs didn't really know what was actually going on until they saw it themselves. Absolutely crazy. Unfortunately, there are many, many places around the world where genocide is still taking place which are just swept under the rug.

Love it.

Exactly, that guy always pretends to know what he's talking about and 75% of the time he is completely wrong.

B1tches be crazy.

He makes every single owner a crap load of money every single year, each year more than the year before. Until he has in impact on their pocketbooks in a negative way, he isn't going anywhere. And this statement is just ludicrous when compared to any other professional sport. Know what happens when you celebrate too much in baseball? You get a 95 mph fastball thrown at your back. Do it too many times and it comes at your head. Know what happens when you cross the line in hockey? Some 6'4" goon lays the smack down on you the next chance he gets, straight up punches you in the face over and over for a 5 minute penalty (that you'll most likely serve as well). NBA, you do it twice and you are thrown out of the game for 2 technical fouls. People that say or believe the NFL is the "no fun league" need to really take a look at what other professional sports do to "fun." A $10K or $20k fine for someone making millions of dollars per year is nothing.

Non-Power 5 Conference football QBs usually put up insane numbers in college if they are to have any success at all in the NFL. To put it simply, they dominate the lesser opponents. While LIcata has had some nice games and a pretty good season last year, he has far from dominated on any level in the MAC, and if you aren't dominating MAC defenses (regardless of your surrounding talent) you aren't going to be doing anything special in the NFL.

At this point you have to believe that he is doing all this as a stunt, to make some sort of point regarding the NFL. I mean, the guy did go to Cal Berkeley so he has to be somewhat intelligent and this cannot be "just how he is."

Well, he can certainly dominate HS kids, that's for sure. I wish we would take all home-grown talents in the draft whenever possible and reasonable.

You mean with joy when he's doing it for the Bills?

Unfortunately, I feel the same with this year comparing Henry to Yeldon. I think Henry is a better back and have a hard time getting behind a back that isn't even the best one on his college team. I also felt the same way concerning Richardson and Lacy when Lacy seemed to look better in my opinion than Richardson did and we all know how that is turning out. I would much rather have Gurley or wait a round or two for Duke Johnson (if possible).

Dude, you have lost your mind.

I disagree and believe that is 100% about the QB. How good were the Pats before Tom Brady and especially before Drew Bledsoe? They were terrible for about 10 years. How were the Colts before Peyton and Luck? Terrible. How were the Saints before Brees? Terrible. Denver without Peyton hadn't really done anything significant since Elway. Cincy was terrible between Boomer and Dalton, Steelers may be your exception as they seem to do well consistently even without an elite QB, but they are way more consistent with one in Big Ben. Ravens Flacco now, before they had one of the best D's of all time, but prior to that they were terrible for 10 years since Bernie was running the show. San Fran, terrible between Young and Kaep (with one or two good years from Garcia). The list goes on and on. Elite QBs always lead to consistent playoff appearances. What was GB doing before the Favre / Rodgers years? Yep, nothing for about 20 years.

Did this guy actually write "Not!" in his post?

I love how someone brings up the Wonderlic with every single black QB prospect, but I never see it mentioned when discussing white QB prospects. Racism strikes subconsciously quite often.

Lattimore retired and had a much more devastating knee injury than Gurley did.

I have watched him 3 or 4 times. I know all you guys love to point to arbitrary and objective things, I point to facts. Numbers never lie. Also, did I just hear at the end of the WGR morning show that someone is reporting that Winston is staying at FSU for another year?

Did you watch the game versus the Bills? He looked terrible. He mad two long throws that he just threw up and our CBs should have made plays on them but his WRs made tremendous plays, the rest of the game he did nothing at all. All they did was run where Dareus used to be. And to say either one "looked way better" is simply a false statement with no basis in fact.
