2009 would actually be a great candidate if only we had done the obvious thing in taking Orakpo instead of Maybin. The next 3 picks were Wood, Byrd and Levitre.

Right, but the etymology of this particular homonym is rather clear. Being gay = undesirable, so we'll describe dumb things as gay. If the metaphor suddenly and inexplicably became "____________ is so Norwegian", people would start wondering what's so bad about being Norwegian. They wouldn't just be content that Norwegian had taken on a new meaning.

Some good advice - when at the grocery store, stick to the exterior and avoid the interior. Hit up the produce, butcher and fish and skip the processed foods. Also, get beer.

I already know this is an issue we won't agree upon. So I'll just stick with saying that Skyler White is great!

Heck, many people (most people?) still use "gay" and variations thereof as a pejorative. "Brady's such a fag." And many people will defend the use of that phrase by the merit that it's all in good fun. But I bet they wouldn't defend "Brady's such a nig." Call it dissimilar if you want, but the commonly held belief by bigots was that black athletes were physically, mentally and emotionally inferior to white athletes.

By a certain percentage of the population, yes. For others, he'd be the anti-Christ. And that second group would include a LOT of the hyper-masculine guys in his own locker-room. It would be quite similar to Jackie Robinson. The first openly gay athlete needs to have rhinoceros hide for skin.

Given the depth and specificity of modern game film, is there any space under the radar anymore?

Buffalo (not the Bills, but the fans) **** on him first. How much crap would you take before dedicating yourself to firing back?

Nostalgia isn't as pleasant or meaningful as it used to be. I used to love good nostalgia.

Good for him. If he had been a 3rd round pick instead of 8th overall, we'd all be crying about the one that got away.

If there's an afterlife, Warren's there enjoying his sleep with a nice sandwich and some Bombay gin.

Of course, it's the sports media and one of these guys is significantly better at...ya know...sports.

I'm guilty of this when I don't intentionally prevent myself from doing it. Better and more conversationally engaging than "umm" or "like", but still not great.

I'm ignorant on this - are numbers on the Wall of Fame retired or simply honored?

To quote Bill Simmons... Bernard. Karmell. Pollard.

Top 5 hitter all time and a class act. RIP.

Of course, this is according to the judgment of the aforementioned really bad team.

In Ithaca, I can give ya the exact street corners. In Manhattan, which I assume is more along your lines, only heard of it by reputation.

Anybody in Ithaca or Manhattan is aware of Gimme! Coffee. Delicious stuff.

Looks like someone was on Reddit a minute before me. Funny stuff

We're the Breaking Bad of the NFL!

Ok, that one takes the cake.
