Considering that the modern era asks linebackers, even interior backers to be able to drop back and cover in some schemes the chances of Butkus being able to make a modern roster even in his prime would be remote. He was fast enough for his day especially laterally covering out toward the sideline, but TEs and RBs…

Your protest would probably get more traction if parts of Boston - including big proportions of the Pats, Celts & Sox fans - didn't act like they were raised in Mississippi in the '50s. Welker never contributed as much to the Pats as KJ, Pierce or Rondo to the Celts, but the latter aren't nearly as beloved. …

If she ever considers becoming an exchange student, she's clearly got the stuff to be a Maryland Delta Gamma ...

Your selflessness is a beacon...

Best not to overthink it too much, just go get him: Once that's accomplished, presumably my TV girlfriend Katie Aselton (aka Mrs. Mark Duplass) will be available...

Other than the obvious horror of the crash, the thing that is unbelievable is the apparent numbed reaction of the driver, watching the tragedy almost without a sound. Only after nearly a minute does he mumble 'fuck.' Assuming this is shot from a humvee and it's a serviceman behind the wheel (both just guesses) is…

I'm guessing the scouts for the GOP congressional class of 2034 see real potential here.

Because everything was known about concussions when Neil Smith played, right? And yes, you could then say that the NFL also didn't know, except for the reports that they ignored, slow walked and the fact that from the 1970s until the league lawyers began prepping for the massive class action CTE case that became…

None of which could have anything to do with his brain quite likely looking like the brain of an 85 year old man w/ dementia, huh?

Anger and stupidity have marked your posts up to this point, so this isn't a surprising take for you....

Assholes are assholes. There's plenty of idiotic misogyny out there, but in articles like the one Lindy cites here, the bizarre assumption is that male assholes are just swell to each other and only reserve their bulshit for women. I'm a 6 foot guy, and on the rare occasion that I've worked for companies who footed…

Not saying that Jez has to have a monolithic outlook, but it seems a little odd for a Gawker offshoot to be lending a shoulder to try to help crank up the Manufactured Outrage Machine. Don't you guys usually let the air out of this kind of fainting couch histrionics?

Well put - Whole article struck me as odd - Usually Jez, Gawker & Co. don't jump onto the Manufactured Outrage Inc. bandwagon.

It's not too surprising that NickMom, which has a lot of material spoofing Holier than thou 'Mean Mom' types - women who whip up a protest as readily as they lactate & make parenting a little more challenging for the rest of us - is suddenly in the cross hairs of these same bored and indignant Mean Moms... I bet this…

Yup - You beat me to it. I agree with Kluwe in the deserved eye roll for the gay panicking delegate Burns - But I get frustrated every time a Republican (looking at you Sarah Palin) about their first amendment rights being violated when they are called out for something idiotic they say, so I gotta be consistent and…
