Toets! But then maybe they were arch enemies.

Has there been any evidence that he did use Hispanic racial slurs? The only accusations are from the two players who assaulted him and that was well after the fact and AFTER he was accused of using the “N” word. That seems shaky to fire someone from a low paying, part time job.

Also too.

Because it’s a poll, not a vote and 99.9% of internet “polls” are intended to sell ad space, not determine a damn thing. Here’s a tip. We are about to be inundated with polls asking us who should win the Oscars. None of those polls will be binding on people who ACTUALLY get a vote.

I have serious question. I haven’t read SI in a VERY long time. Since it was only a magazine and my parents canceled our subscription in like, 1983 or 84. I stopped caring about SI a long time ago and I’ll probably stop caring about 2 hours from now. But I am deeply amused by internet users and their illusion of…

Just a bit, yeah.

It’s an elite Flacco Shiano man thing.

I don’t normally follow professional basketball, but I do like to catch the occasional highlights, especially buzzer beaters and one-of-a-kind shots. I even more rarely comment on basketball threads, but I’d like to say two things.

Get bent!

You forgot the expense and travel to and from the game.

But it’s not like they are isolated with no way to contact supervisors or stadium authorities for a more informed ruling. I am sure they all have radios and could easily ask for clarification. I am also pretty certain that this has happened before at a major US stadium and that the full time professionals (I assume…

But will they settle for a CFL, team? Baltimore did and we have a Grey Cup to prove it. (Somewhere. I think they took it back to Canada. But it’s here in spirit!)

There are almost 900 replies to this post, so maybe someone already made this point. I tried to read them all to make sure, but I don’t know.

My dad is so offended by Affirmative Action and things like “Black” student unions on campuses, but point out to him that his alma mater was a pretty prestigious engineering school that didn’t let in anyone but white males until the 60’s and he’s like “THAT’S DIFFERENT!” Call it “affirmative action for white men” and…

The Orioles were the Browns, too, but that’s more coincidental than anything else.

I’m reminded of the open anecdote of the Taylor Branch NCAA article in The Atlantic a few years back. A bunch of NCAA big-wigs as part of a investigatory panel asked the Reebok guy why he is so corrupt and keeps shoveling money into colleges and he answered (I’m paraphrasing from memory) “because you guys keep taking…

Personally, I think we are taking too much on their word. “Hoverboard Jock” falls too neatly in with “Cadillac Driving Welfare Queen” or “T-Bone Eating Young Buck” as stereotypes we are all supposed to clutch our pearls over. Anecdotes are the worst basis for meaningful policy decisions. If Yow can produce meaningful…

Of course the most ridiculous luxury item most students spend their money on is tickets to football and basketball games. Especially after they have already paid through athletic fees.

I would agree with that but this is hardly isolated to the SEC. Lane Kiffen got, what? $5 million plus when USC fired him?

Install netting? But none of the stadiums are built to be safety netting friendly,. Whelp, I guess we all need brand new, safety netting compliant stadiums. Sorry. We’ll need more tax money and exemptions. You know, for safety.
