Wait, you’re wondering if a news outlet would use the word “millennial” in a story about a young person? Are you familiar with news outlets?

Do you seriously need me to explain why a television station is not going to devote an ounce of time to a non-football topic during an NFL pregame show?    

Is your take that Rex Ryan et al should instead spend their time talking about a subject they’re completely uninformed on and unqualified to talk about?

Exactly. I’m hearing it in the comments below from people who apparently think that an NFL pregame show is a good forum to have these discussions. You know what the overwhelming majority of viewers are going to do if James Brown starts on about the impact these allegations are having on Britney Taylor?  They’re going…

Well, when discussing Colin Kaepernick, the crux of the discussion is how taking a knee impacted his career and whether he will ever get a chance to play football again. You know, FOOTBALL. What the assembled pregame show team is there to discuss. Talking about Britney Taylor’s feelings about her sexual assault contrib…

It’s sad that this was your take-away of my posts.  Read them again.  I’m not suggesting they be ignored.  I’m suggesting that maybe the pregame shows aren’t the forum to have these kind of discussions.

You’re actually suggesting that an NFL pregame show - the entire point of which is to discuss the weekend slate of games and story lines of the players involved - shift gears to discuss how the victims of alleged crimes are impacted?  This is why you will never be given the keys to CBS/Fox/ESPN, etc.

It’s an NFL pregame show. They hire these guys to discuss football, not solve the world’s problems.

While I think this is an excellently written article that makes a strong argument, I also feel there is another difficult discussion this overlaps with. Namely if a player is signed to a team, what are his protections and rights as an employee in the League. I’m not arguing in anyway that it is a more important…

I mean one look at who they hire to work on these type of shows gives you an idea of how little they care. Esiasson and Cowher are essentially the same person, alpha male, conservative, flag humping. Simms is like them but with even less nuance if that’s possible. Gonzalez is just a dumb jock with good hair, James…

C’mon, man. I mean, you’re talking about the broadcast of a football game, not Outside the Lines or even SportsCenter. The sole purpose of the broadcast is to talk about the game that is on the field in front of them, not the ongoing transgressions of Antonio Brown.

I compare this kind of question to the recent survey:

Ridiculously un-athletic (compared to everyone else on the field) QBs pick up first downs routinely, and (rarely) punters/kickers have managed to as well, and their success rate in attempting them is not that bad. Further, being able to squirt through the line and falling forward for a few feet is possible if your…

You are correct- Pequod's is hands down, bo bullshit the best pizza on the planet. I recommend to everyone I know who's visiting Chicago. Long may it reign.

For me football season starts when my friend, a Bears fan, makes his annual joke. “Based on the Bears jerseys, George Halas died again in the off-season.”

They’re really gonna burninate up the competition this year.

Cannot wait to watch the Seattle Trogdors in action

It’s worth noting that a good portion of democrats don’t care either. The vast majority of them are also bought and if their overlords instruct them, they will suppress meaningful action on gun control laws as well.

I find myself where you are. I know it’s not an apples to apples comparison, but I own a restaurant, and I too have a strict no politics rule for my floor staff. I’d say that both me, my staff, and hell 90% of my crowd are likely on the same page politically too, all quite progressive, but even if we were 100% in…
