Can't hurt, right?

Well, it's important to make the distinction between probable cause and breaking the law. The police received a phone call that someone was waving a gun at people, which is actually not permitted, even in gun happy open carry states.

FWIW, I couldn't agree more, and I wear a tie every day. There are almost zero circumstances under which a tie can make someone more comfortable, and even in cold weather, where they can help keep your neck warm, a scarf is infinitely more comfortable and effective.

While ties can be useful in particular circumstances due to self-fulfilling beliefs imposed on us by certain segments of society, the truth is that they supply no intrinsic worth.

I canfeel my IQ dropping each successive time I watch that stupid celebration. Given that I never had much to start with, the effects of losing brainpower are ... noticeable.

If they were ever going to pull a repeat of the Heidi maneuver, that would have been the time to do it.

With how similar it was to the David Tyree catch, I actually started thinking for a few brief moments that maybe the football gods were actually real.

Well, to be fair, the other owner in the league who is most like Snyder, Jerry Jones, was going to draft him until his son physically prevented him from doing so.

Well, if it was directed at the person covering him, then the metaphor is missing the ending where Revis or whoever it was gets to spoon feed the pile of shit back to Baldwin.

He's not calling out other students, he's highlighting the difference in experience. Also, get over your work and school mantra. Whatever job you had wasn't as complicated and involving as being a college football player

We're working with 3-4% of college athletes, and the discussion moved on to all NFL players.

But you're comparing what an athlete makes in a few short years to what joe blow makes over his entire lifetime. Most NFL athletes are not disabled and unable to work after they retire.

Except that I was talking about Richard Sherman. But besides all of that if players are committing to that kind of schedule with no or minimal future prospects of playing football for money, then they are either

Let's assume for simplicity, that 1/4 of every roster graduates. That's 2,720 players.

the 4.5% is millionaires by net worth, not millionaires by income.

Perhaps, though in that scenario Alabama would spend money on it's players as well.

That estimate is based on all NCAA players, and Sherman belonged to a class of player, Division I at a high profile college, of which a significantly higher percentage get drafted. The numbers I can find indicate that between 10-20% of players who are on rosters their senior year are drafted, and 50-60% of those make…

Apparently, your schedule was easier because your education was not all that great.

But the percentage of players who go on to make millions in the NFL is probably LESS than the percentage of other students who go on to make millions on their own with their degrees.

I think you could argue that a big part of the value of any college football franchise is how good it's recruits collectively are, and that is most definitely directly related to who the coach is.
