I wouldn’t say we were arguing. He used a 1932 study of IQ in Scotland to back up his point which was kind of silly. More modern research suggests men as a group may be higher at the smart and dumb extremes of the curve. The question is why and whether it would have to do with environment and not some inherent difference. I woulda still say that when one states women have to know what they’re getting into sounds misogynistic, but he clarified that a bit. So we were just discussing. Regardless of anything else I think Gase is a jerk for walking out so quick right after his child is born.

I suppose my opinion is affected by having a wife who is at the top of her profession, as well as two daughters, one of whom graduated magna ***** laude from college and one of whom is getting free ride offers from several collages because of her grades and test scores. You are correct in that men need to know what their getting into before marriage. So do women. Couples who succeed in marriage have those discussions up front, and are willing to compromise for the other. And I think a reasonable compromise would be to stick around after your wife has just given birth via C section to one of your children. But that's just me, I guess.

Interesting and causes me to think a bit. None of us know of course what the relationship of Gase and his wife is, what discussions they had before they got married, and such. But when it comes to having your wife having just given birth by C section, and you bail to go meet with Peyton Manning, you have to admit that seems unfeeling at the very least. I'd also ask what the hell Peyton was thinking; if he knew the guy was coming from his child 's delivery I think I'd postpone the meeting for a while, right? Regardless, I think Gase is the kind of guy that tops out as a position coach or maybe OC but flames out as a HC.

I went and researched some of this, and what the data seems to show is that, overall, there is no difference in mean IQ scores between sexes.. If one looks at top IQ scores it seems to skew towards men, and if you look at low IQ scores it skews towards men. In other words, there are more really smart and more really dumb men vs. women. Now, whether that has to do with true biologic differences, differences in educational opportunities, or what remains open to question. Why you chose to pull a Scottish study from 1932 when there is data that is more to the point and more up to date suggests you may have a poor understanding of the value of studies. I have been active in research for over 35 years with multiple peer reviewed publications. You may want to whine about understanding research elsewhere. And you may want to reconsider the statement about women needing to know what they're getting into, as that statement first of all has nothing to do with IQ scores and second is pretty much misogynistic.

IQ scores in one country -Scotland - in 1932. Part of my job is research and understanding statistics. This kind of data for 2019 is meaningless. To begin with, educational opportunities back then were considerably different. When you can come up with a statistically valid claim to back up what appears to be a misogynistic opinion get back to me.

Don’t quite agree. Agree there are some jobs that might demand a guy be available right after a significant family life event, like a birth. President would be one. But if a Musk or Bezoa is doing his job right they would have others who can take over for a day. And certainly a football coach is not one of those jobs. Gase is a jerk; stay with your wife. And as for women knowing what they’re getting into and claiming that there are less geniuses that are women, you’re sounding misogynistic.

First game in the Rockpile 1960. I was 4 years old so don’t have real sharp memories.

I haven't been back to town in a while, but I try to keep up with the news around town. From what I can tell, there is a resurgence in the downtown area with the expansion of the medical school the other Pegula projects, new bars/restaurants, etc. My assumption has been that the Pegulas are interested in rejuvenating the city. Hence their different projects in the city, building a new arena and such. So my assumption has been that, when they build a new stadium, it would be in the city and not in OP. I can't speak to the traffic situation that would arise, since I haven't been in the area for a while and I'm not sure where they would build. I can however share some parallels I think with what I saw here in Indy and what Is aw when the Rich was first opened in '73. When the Rich was opened, it was a nightmare. I drove my mom and little brother to the first pre-season game; left Sheridan and Sweet Home Road at3:30 for a 7:30 start and sat in our seats right before kickoff. But things got worked out; traffic flow was adjusted to have all but one lane going in to the stadium pre-game and all but one lane out post-game. Folks figured out different routes (like we went Bailey to Abbott instead of the 290/90/219). Here in Indy where the stadium is right downtown folks have figured out different routes, and there are enough parking garages, lots, etc. to fit everyone without much problem. That just would have to be accounted for when designing any new stadium downtown. As for tailgating, again looking at Indy it doesn't appear to be an issue, although tailgating is not the experience of a Bills tailgating crowd. There are designated lots, folks are seen tailgating all around the stadium. And for visiting they have a designated area right next to the stadium. My family parked near it last year when the Bills were in town, walked a bit of the ways with our coolers, and no problem . Partied with tons of other Bills fans and even drank a shot out of a bowling ball! My guess is the new place will be downtown And if it is, I think the worries about traffic, tailgates, and such will be readily answered. Maybe not the first game but if Bills fans are anything they're resourceful. .

What happens? You get another guy.

If I’m Goodell enough is enough. I know he’s got issues and needs help, but you do not have a right to play football for a living, and if you refuse to follow the expectations laid out then you don’t get to play.

Go sober up, then come back and write this in English

Long was hurt last year though. Hard to play C effectively with a bad hand.

All one can do is hope he’s OK and that they can help him avoid future ones with equipment or something. The fact that he’s out on the field doing things suggests he’s fairly well along in the protocol.

Damn shame. His dedication to his son was inspirational to many.

He is supposed to be the linchpin for the line so any time he loses is a bad thing.

I said at the beginning of this thread and repeat here that I think he catches the first TD pass for the season.

1-15 I’d be worried. 8-8of course not.

For God sakes. First season = playoffs. Second season breaking in a rookie QB among other things. You’re being absolutely ridiculous.

Extended Wood who got a career ending injury. Yep, he wasn’t Nostradamus. And you also would have continued to pay the big fat tub of goo named Dareus his 100 million dollars.

I think you can make that statement about every team.

Then don’t throw sexist comments out on a whim.

It has to do with the fact that people are judged on their performance and not their looks. Maybe you should get into your WayBack machine and travel back a few decades.

It has nothing to do with her job. That’s why you look like a moron.

The Mahomes comment is typical Monday morning QBing. Not one team in the league thought Mahomes would be the guy he was last year. Not a single one. Because if teams thought he would be there would have been moves by multiple teams to trade up to #1. Coming out there were concerns about his footwork and him playing in an offense that did not produce NFL caliber QBs. Creating cap issues? The cap issues were big contracts on guys not earning the $$, Dareus being the prime one. They solved the cap issue, they didn’t create it. Do all teams have plans? Yes. Do all teams have plans become enormously successful in two years? No.

Stay well my friend. As for the young man, good for him. He realized he may not have the ability to be an NFL player and will move in with his life. Best of luck to him.
