Defenses miss tackles because the offense is also drawing a pay check. There aren't any opportunities in the nfl for this form wrap up tackles you speak of. That only happens when you address an immobile tackling dummy straight up. If you looked at that play and thought "yeah that should be an easy wrap up " then you…

You don't sound very intelligent so i hate to get into an argument with you but here we go: get up and try to hit or tackle something in front of you without leading with your head. Ok if you're not leading with your head what are you leading with? Shoulder? How could you achieve this.... did you decapitate your head…

Show me a human that can memorize the location of 300 acorns ... it's almost like we describe superiority as whatever it is we do better

Jesus ever loving Christ. I am black (born in Africa), I work in a predominantly white world .. the other day someone in a meeting used the phrase "the african elephant in the room" dismissively. It upset me, we talked we're cool. Now lets me just say some of the white people here are embarrassing. How can't you…

You could argue the call is the best call any human could've made under the conditions but that is not the same as saying the call was right.

Gus is simply a matter of taste you either like his excitement or you don't but it's not qualitatively good or bad just like jazz or hip-hop.

Thanks for the link... that says it much better.

So why do Americans have this odd fetish for their military? Its great to appreciate folks who chose jobs I wouldn't do which is essentially the same way I feel about coal miners or whoever picks up roadkill. My bigger issue is with ascribing to the military benefits they are not responsible for.

Is this supposed to make men feel "shitty" about having or not having these things? Also any chance this was supposed to be funny?

You do realize IVF is an upper class commodity

So yes Incognito is not up for person of the year however I just think there is quite possibly more to this than meets the eye.I also think that if it wasn't for the racial element a lot more people would be bold enough to take a more measured stance. Listen whether you like it or not, an NFL locker room is…

Jesus WTF are you talking about?... this is like saying that whites who can afford a Ferrari have a better standard of living than people of other ethnicities who also have Ferarris

Again context still matters. My group of friends is a combination of Arabians, Cubans, Puerto-ricans, a dude from Buffalo, an Indian (married to the cuban), a jew (married one of the puerto ricans) and a Nigerian (me). If you recorded our conversations during football Sunday or our contentious arguments and played it…

Is it possible they know something you don't know? that they have a contextual framework that you don't have? ..... or we could go with your apparent theory that black men in the Dolphins locker room are racists embracing, self hating idiots.

My apologies for the rudeness.

Oh my god ... wow... I never really considered whether you were a woman or not because that is wholly irrelevant to discussion I want to have.

Isn't there some evidence that, on a large scale, evolution selects for multiple favorable psychologies? I seem to recall some studies that gave me the impression that it was likely there is an ideal mix of complementary tendencies. One of the studies was related to autism, I think..

Its not clear to me where I said everything that is hereditary is also selected for. However I did say that in general you'd expect most surviving traits and behaviors in most organisms to be selected for if natural selection works. This statement in no way precludes the existence of a vast number of behaviors, traits…

"In addition, widespread traits cannot be assumed to have been selected for, because there are other factors at play (not least of which is environmental stochasticity)."

Evolution can be generally described as a discriminating process of selecting certain behaviors and traits to the exclusion of the alternatives. This by definition must yield a group of organisms who exhibit behaviors and traits that were selected for and to an extent are generally resistant to having it tampered…
