This comment hits the nail on the head.

Honestly? Do you really not understand the difference between sexual orientation and sexual behavior?

Helmets don't affect the change in speed, but they increase the time over which the change in speed takes place, lessening the impulse to the brain. More padding leads to a more gradual change in momentum, and thus a lower impulse. This is the important factor. The density of the padding is the result of helmet manufacturers "guessing" at the momentum of the most common and most dangerous collisions the helmets will see, and then optimizing the density of the padding for those collisions. There is, of course, some margin-of-error

You're really burying your head in the sand. Of course it's illegal - it's a violation of trademark. DH Gate is still in business because it's in China, where international trademarks are not respected. Of course you can do it if you want - just own the fact that you're doing something unethical - don't try to justify it with sob stories. That might work for necessities, but not for Bills jerseys.

A team can have a few injured players on its roster, and still field the full number of active players on gameday That's why

It's always nice when a player you root against joins a team you root against.

How many D-linemen does that make? Carrington, Marcus Stroud, Kyle Williams, Spencer Johnson, Dwan Edwards, Chris Ellis, John McCargo, Chris Kelsay. That's not counting Schobel and Maybin who will likely move to OLB.

what's the value of football at all? It's fun. Some people think mock drafts are fun to look at, even if they have little grounding in reality. I'm one of them. relax

CORRECT! excellent post to sum it up: Signing bonuses are amortized whether the team wants to or not. The cash-to-cap philosophy is simply an internal method of accounting. Everyone should re-read this post.

Are you sure that scoring is correct? If that was the case, then a score of 2 would show the same intelligence at a score of 10, just with some bad luck thrown in. I don't think that is how it works, since I've heard that '10' indicates basic literacy, and lower than that is indicative of something less. Do they deduct points for wrong answers to discourage guessing, like on most standardized tests I know of?

again, think about context. The American flag is obviously not trying to capitalize on the Bills, so there is no problem. If someone wanted to sell a shirt with the words "Let's go Buffalo" on it in the Bills colors, then it's obvious that he is trying to capitalize on the Bills. The NFL would have a case.

It's all a matter of context. You're correct about the color scheme business. Trademark issues are not blind to context. While the phrase "Who Dat" might be in the public domain, it is possible to trademark its use in the context of the New Orleans Saints. If someone is selling shirts in Saints colors outside the stadium, well I'd say the NFL has a case. Here's an analogy: If your last name is McDonald, and you want to open a restaurant named "McDonald's", then you will probably be sued. You can argue that your family name existed well before the fast-food restaurant McDonald's opened, but it doesn't matter. McDonald's has the name trademarked in the restaurant business. You would be free to open an electronics store and call it McDonald's if you want, as long as there is no allusion of an association to the popular restaurant. So, it doesn't matter that "Who Dat" may have existed before the Saints - the NFL has it with regard to the Saints. Same goes for the Fleur-de-Lis. The NFL/Saints own the trademark with regard to the Saints, and any product that uses the fleur-de-lis in a context that alludes to the football team (in a judge's opinion) is probably infringing.

I hope you're joking. It would be the worst value ever to pay that much money for only one or two useful seasons after a lengthy "project" period

If he's only getting 30 days then there must be a mitigating circumstance.

I'm surprised they think Lee Evans is a better #2 receiver than Anquan Boldin. I'm not sure who is better, but it surprises me because Boldin is a much bigger name
