  1. I agree with this completely, and would go so far as to say the Supreme Court decisions that allow for laws prohibiting private discrimination are a usurpation of the constitution and I really don't think there's much of a counterargument.
  2. I personally have no animosity towards gays, but I think your position is fairly extreme in that you label anyone with any reservations about gay marriage to be a bigoted ass hole. Tolerance at its finest.
  3. I agree. I never liked Incognito in the first place, but this "bullying" business and its severity is based solely on Martin's reaction. It's as though it's wholly inconceivable that Martin may have been overly sensitive, and that his meltdown may have been unforseeable. IMO, the harsh backlash is due to a combination of 1. people projecting the image of their own tormentors onto Incognito, and 2. people that love an opportunity to show their moral superiority (See every Michael Sam thread ever).
  4. For me, I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt because I thought the offense maintained better than expected production through the QB carousel, and I saw a lot of plays where there was opportunity for success and failure was due to a player or players. That said, I don't claim he's great, but I thought, especially based on being a rookie OC, he performed as well as could be expected given the circumstances. Moreover, I find the Hackett bashing annoying because for every knowledgeable poster who has a reasonable basis for ripping on him there are 10 morons who have no idea what they're talking about. 90% of the guys that whine about play-calling don't know what plays are being called, what blocks are being missed, and what open receivers aren't being thrown to. They just know we didn't score and that makes them sad.
  5. You should be a writer for Lifetime.
  6. I think we put way too much weight on the raw INT number, as though they're all equal. A 40 yd bomb that gets picked (barring a big return) isn't a whole lot different from a punt, but on the stat sheet it's the same as a pick 6 at the LOS.
  7. I think it may be unfair to put too much blame on the parents, depending on their experience with guns. Anyone who's ever shot a 9mm should know better. But if these ass holes just know what they've seen on TV and this was a new experience for them, I can at least kinda see how they'd trust that the supposed expert had it under control.
  8. People need scapegoats so they can rationalize the losing while absolving other players of blame. See Nigel Bradham; Chris Hogan.
  9. This is possibly the gayest song written by anyone ever. It'll probably be a hit with the new country crowd. Yeah by Joe Nichols Lyric Video:
  10. No, he's right. It's just like how Mike Martz and Dick Jauron are basically the same guy. Sure one's a highly aggressive offensive minded coach while the other is an ultra conservative defensive minded coach, but they both coached Fitz for a bit.
  11. 90% of everything attributed to Godwin's law doesn't count as Godwin's law.
  12. This is incorrect. We claimed him off waivers before anybody could sign him.
  13. You guys always create something out of nothing. They were just arguing over what titty bar they were going to go to that night. It's all good.
  14. I'm pretty sure you and I have a different take on both why that is the case as well as the extent to which it's the case.
  15. I wouldn't necessarily argue with them.
  16. The 300 year shaft left blacks disproportionately susceptible to getting sucked into the welfare state and suffering its effects.
  17. I tend to agree. Watkins will have to damn near be the second coming of Jerry Rice to justify that trade.
  18. There are a lot of hot girls at Elon.
  19. I've been optimistic every year since Trent Edwards came into play, and you see where that's gotten us, so I have a feeling my pessimism this year means good things are in store. Sometimes keeping it real goes wrong.
  20. Some of my best friends have political beliefs that couldn't be much further from my own.
  21. Didn't we meet you there?
  22. CLE seems happy to have picked up Hoyer.
  23. No, it wasn't a racial thing.
