Both are important skills to have on a team, but I agree that it puzzles me...there aren't 32 men in this world capable of kicking a football when it's on the ground AND when they drop it onto their foot?

Cam Newton is in the "Chad Pennington Division". That's as much info as I need on this list.

Except the OP specifically states "would you feel better...?".

"I ate a Herman Melville novel" is my favorite.

Nobody induces more jealousy from his fellow players than Jeter. He's the golden boy of the league and most non-Yankees (ok, let's be honest, probably plenty of Yankees too) hate him for it. If there was so much as a whiff of PED use, most MLB players would blow him in happily. The fact that we've heard zero rumors is telling.

And let's not forget that the man stopped fighting dogs because he got caught. If nobody ever knew and then 5 years later, he came out and said "Listen, I used to do this horrible thing and it's been weighing on my conscience" he'd have more than a few ounces of my sympathy. As it stands, we can only assume that Vick would have blithely continued fighting dogs until he was an old crippled man.

Yes, accepting money and then getting injured in a combat sport is "stealing".

http://espn.go.com/new-york/mlb/story/_/id/8294309/derek-jeter-laughs-skip-bayless-ped-use-insinuation Sure, the sports culture's (and my personal) apotheosis of Derek Jeter may be overstatement....but for !@#$ sake, can't we give the most respected athlete of our time the benefit of the doubt? I would personally stop watching baseball if it turned out DJ was using anything worse than a One-a-Day vitamin.

Hey, go out with a sense of accomplishment.

By buy.

It's interesting to me how these conversations go. People take sides seemingly based on the premise that the story needs a good guy and bad guy.

Every word was, at one point, not a word. Shakespeare himself invented hundreds of them.

I take it as a metaphor. As in, due to this running back's size, speed and tenacity it's as if his momentum is carrying him downhill (ie. harder to stop).

In this particular case, what part of the article indicates PC !@#$s being involved? Now, perhaps the subtext is that the Police Chief acted quickly in order to avoid a firestorm from the aforementioned !@#$s...but I'll give him the benefit of the doubt.

I refuse to accept the fate of Guam.

Gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothing that a hundred men or more could ever do. I bless the rains down in Aaaaaaafrica.

90% of the time when Byrd is spoken about on TV, he's called "Jarius". Just heard it twice on ESPN. Why is a two-syllable word so difficult to pronounce? Are there a bunch of people named Jarius that I've never heard of, where this should be a common mistake?

Thanks guys. I appreciate the opportunity to add to the discussion.

Remember that game in 2010 where he positively abused Pittsburgh's interior line? I'll try to find the link, but according to Football Outsiders it was one of the greatest DT performances EVER in a single game.

Baptism by fire. I like it. Provided the entire OL isn't on crutches yet again by season's end, I think it will be a strong point.

Great premise, good show. I find it to be worth the 30 minutes each week, but never spectacular.

For the fact that he plays a character who gets into trouble for running his mouth, nobody accomplishes quite as much as Aaron Paul with just facial expressions. "Conveyance", as you put it, is a good term. There is absolutely no communication gap between his body language and our understanding of its meaning.

Not if you're afraid of Virginia Woolf.

Plenty of QBs put up gaudy numbers in college, but at any given moment there are only about 5 "franchise" QBs in the NFL. (I always take this term to mean, this quarterback is the greatest asset in the franchise). So, not saying you're wrong, but just curious...in what way does Pachall distinguish himself to you as a potential Franchise QB?
