It’s refreshing to see an argument between a black man and a white guy with guns end without any casualties.

a special glimpse into what harry caray’s college football commentating career would have sounded like

If you understand football the slightest bit - hell, if you're the tiniest bit athletic - then you would known if your head is up and you wrap up, these types of hits are almost non-existent.

No. A player coming in with the mindset of wrapping up is going to hit the other player in a fundamentally different way because his body becomes a tool for a task rather than a missile. Point of contact becomes your chest and pecs instead of your shoulder and head.

He did rush for more yards than anyone else on the Birds.

So Pete feels he got screwed by officiating in Lambeau? I’m sure The Packers are feeling awful for him. The scabs gave you a win in 2012, call it Karma.

By all means, continue Pete. I’m sure you’ll get a lot of sympathy over your complaints with bad officiating....

And the phrase “National Literacy Month” obviously makes you shake uncontrollably.

Not a reach at all.

Maybe because he thinks we are supposed to have a preconceived notion of how Sherman should feel about this issue? And yes, by mentioning the “context” of one side being more similar to what conservatives or Jason Whitlock, two obvious and frequent targets of Deadspin/Gawker ridicule, might say, it’s painfully obvious…

Sherman is saying you can’t really sit there and preach #blacklivesmatter without a certain level of hypocrisy when the black-on-black killing is so prevalent on the streets and has been. He’s basically adding that your…

This reeks of condescending whitesplaining.

I still can't understand how Fighting Sioux is so offensive but Fighting Irish is OK. All the social justice warrior clowns out there need to read up on how Irish immigrants were treated in the 19th Century.

But how does one convey the joy of eating an Italian beef through a screen and controller?

Gee its almost like football is a sport with a lot of physical contact and violence and if it were played like soccer or rugby everyone would be dead at the end.

Sounds like Peterson wants a switch.

Sorry, but a black guy getting bad reception in the Boston area doesn't qualify as shocking news

No. Mine are a reasonable response to assault.

There were a couple of guys in the comments of the original article saying the ref used the n word when addressing the players.
