Probably, Maybe. The word queer still comes up a lot in English classes, which is a workplace type environment. You could very easily have students read aloud the poem by Robert Graves "It's a Queer Time" and I don't think anyone would bat an eye. But you discuss "Niggas in Paris" by Jay Z and Kanye West, you may…

I'm sure your right. But my point is that those aren't bad words, we just use them as such. Another example I can think of is my friend's mom who was a high-end dog breeder. I used to always giggle when she would say "lactating bitches". I was 14 at the time. 99% of the time you hear the word bitch, it's as a…

I was waiting for someone to pull that one out

It just depends where you work. I used to work in a place that was about 40% British. The word fag and queer were used all the time in a non-derogatory way. No explanation was needed because they were using the word as intended.

Does this fall into the category about the outrage overshadows actual racism, like in the case of the Hispanic kid who sang the National Anthem at the Finals?

People have a wierd misconception of what Goodell is. He is an employee of the 32 NFL owners. He is not the head of the NFL. Anything he says is merely the will of those owners. Everyone gets mad at for bringing up 18 games seasons, games in Europe, rules changes, etc. but these are what the owners want. Goodell…

The word queer only means strange, which is it's intended usage. Fags (more specifically faggots) are just bundles of wood to be burned, or more commonly cigarettes. It's mainly used by British people, but it is the correct way to use the words.

depends which conference. If you're referring to the AFC north, The Texans are 6-2 vs them over the last 2 years. They lost twice to Baltimore in '11 but beat them by 30 in '12.

San Antonio should be number 1. San Antonio is a huge untapped market. The people of San Antonio support the shit out of everything there. Hell, it's not uncommon for them to put 10,000 people in the stands for a WNBA game. When UTSA finally got a football team, they broke the NCAA record for attendance by a…

1) The NFL is a corporate environment. Just ask any player about "business decisions". If you don't believe so, it's because you've never been around an NFL team. I have friends who have worked for NFL teams, and also played. It's very much so a professional place.

well since they only go through the motions anyways, I'll say we only lose 3-4 eyeballs max...

Although I see your point, as a professional it shouldn't matter. There are some words, like cracker, queer, colored, or fag that aren't necessarily bad words, it's the context that they are used that makes them hurtful and derogatory. Other's, like nigger, motherfucker, cunt, etc. have no place in a professional…

ESPN is already Spanish for sports, I think...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Probowl. What's wrong are people's expectations of the Probowl. It's an exhibition game. no more, no less. These changes will not change that fact. If you want to improve the game, all you need to do is add some fun technology to the game. Put Google glasses on every…

You had to ask?

On the other hand, the greatest colt ever was Colt Seavers...

I raise you one Colt McCoy

I think I recall seeing the same one, but I can't remember the name.

They went 10-2 in their division and a respectable 12-8 outside of the division. They had wins against Atlanta, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Cincinnati, Denver, and Chicago. They won some legit games outside of the division.
