Well, I for one applaud the NFL for finally taking a clear, aggressive, no-nonsense stand against bad PR. It is clear that the league will no longer tolerate actions by players that cause sponsors to threaten cutting business ties. Children, wives, and girlfriends of NFL players can exhale and rest easy tonight,…

I thought there was some process in place for making sure NFL players are bright, well-adjusted, and socially conscious? How did this guy manage to sneak through?

Oh hey, look! It's the emergence of the "We don't want to blame anything on Joe Paterno, so we'll conveniently establish a narrative that holds that he was too old and senile to have known what was going on and the real blame lies with the faceless administrators that we have no previous emotional attachment to,"…

I have done far more than glance at headlines on this case. I have looked at every detail. You can hang your hat on uncertainties as a way of protecting all that you hold sacred. Be my guest.

Every Rose has its torn [ligaments].

Shouldn't the Eagles' PR staff have some sort of policy against their players following other teams?

If they wanted to hear words of wisdom from a noted beef jerky spokesman, I would have gone with Sasquatch.

How much do we need to spend to get him to shut the fuck up?

I would say it matters because ID believers have tried to remove references to observable scientific fact from books about science used in public schools, instead wishing to "teach the controversy," which does not exist at all in the scientific community. The established view in the United States is most certainly not…

Anyone who has ever visited a dog breeder or a cattle farm should understand that evolution is just nature doing by accident what animal husbandry does on purpose. The fact that even hicks try to say it's not real is willfully stupid.

Evolution is important because when you see how it developed, you understand how all the disciplines of science interact, how an idea is formulated, how it is tested, and how to draw conclusions based on those tests. It's the scientific method in action and what I learned from it informs how I see the world even…

Because the theory of evolution is one of the most important theories to come from the scientific method and should be taught in schools so that kids understand how to formulate and test observations and ideas. Intelligent Design has attempted to claim the deductive powers of science, while being based on faith; faith…

So he had brain cancer, right?

So let me get this straight. These people don't believe in evolution because it doesn't work like it does on the Pokemon cartoon?

I would say you should never have a BAC higher than your batting average, but I firmly believe in Dan Uggla's right to have a single drink whenever he chooses.

It's incredible, to me, the number of Bronco fans who desperately want this guy. Nobody is pleased with our run game, and I fully acknowledge that. But when you look at his rap sheet since college... think about the destruction of his own Ferrari with a baseball bat in March... look at how much shit he's caused at…

Teams are probably having trouble finding him.

I see an awesome opportunity here for Bill Stimmons from ESPN to make a really good joke about Kobe Bryant missing a lot of shots. I have a friend of a friend who knows Stimmons from Holy Cross and apparently he's a huge Celtics fan, so it will probably feel good for him to poke some fun at Bryant for once. Look for…

Good point. A reasonable, and non-confusing, way to teach tour kids that physically harming others is wrong than by physically harming them. Kids really learn from irony that leaves marks about the face and genitalia.

Your words were that you developed into someone who was solely attracted to women. All I said was, that's not indicative of a choice. If you made a choice, say so. But saying you developed a certain way is NOT the same as saying you chose to be a certain way.
