I seem really invested? lol okay.

lol, you should make that skull-throne. I am fully aware the Packers' special teams coach sucks and should be fired (that's been a pet peeve of mine for many seasons), but good lord, these guys aren't automatons. He shouldn't scream if a guy fails to execute - but he is justified in being angry if a guy completely…

"criticize others for making a mistake doing something you can't even dream of doing" - obviously I don't play football at an NFL level, but if you've ever played organized football before (as I have), you know that every guy has an assignment on every play. When you go rogue like Bostick did here, that's when…

wow, you utterly fail at reading comprehension. directly from my post: "I'm not saying he's an immoral dude or something." Try and find anywhere where I said anything about morals or virtue - I did not. Simply pointing out that someone made a bad mistake is not the same as displaying "moral superiority" - that's…

lol, pointing out that the coach was right for chewing him out when he expressly did something OTHER THAN his job on the play is sanctimonious? I'm not saying he's an immoral dude or something, just that the Packers' horrible special teams coach is right to be pissed here. That's my point, and your righteous anger…

wtf are you talking about

Except here if he makes that one play (or just does his job like he was supposed to) they are certain to win.

The coach gave him shit because HE DIDN'T DO HIS JOB. There's a reason he was supposed to block and Jordy was supposed to catch. He deserves the shit he took. He's not the only reason they lost, but if the Packers recover that kick they win the game - it's as simple as that.

lol you are hilarious. whether the ncaa officially recognizes it doesn't affect whether they or anyone else will remember it. what a weird thing to have your panties in a twist about. "I guess you never worked hard to achieve anything" you are so cute.

who exactly are they going to "show" these wins to? what a stupid reason to support this decision. they'll still remember their careers, and whether they can point to "official" victories in the NCAA ledger is beyond irrelevant.

Where you see "steps" I and the officials see a guy stumbling to the ground. It's a crap rule, but they called it correctly. But boy do people love bitching about refs

you can't see it in the gif at the top of this page, but it clearly comes loose and he reclutches it from the angle they used live. It did come out - so obviously that I was screaming about it being incomplete when I saw it happen live :)

It is if it comes loose when you're falling and hit the ground. The more you know indeed - most regular football watchers know this rule.

It was an obvious incomplete pass, even at normal speed. If you're falling when you catch, the ball can't come out when you hit the ground. This call gets made many times a year - if you think this was a bad call you don't know the rule.

If you're not familiar with NBA refs then why are you questioning anything? You basically just admitted you have no fucking clue what you're talking about, and yet you'll comment anyway.

Yeah, opinion pieces are meant to neutrally present facts without taking a side or attempting to persuade. That's the whole point of them, right?

"falling ass-backwards into one of the most lopsided trades in NBA history"

For someone who comments on just about every single article you'd think your comments would get more traction...

Haha I went to go check those links out, particularly b/c I usually love the Atlantic and was a bit surprised to see it there. Then it turned out it was just a blurb by A.J. Daulerio where he explicitly states the term slavery "implies a more disturbing construct"than the NCAA. I still think it's a poor comparison…

I recognized they're exploited and support all the things you support. But to compare a young American athlete's decision to pursue one particular line of work to the institution of SLAVERY is, I think, stupid. Involuntary slavery is NOT just a relic of the 1500-1800s it exists in differing forms around the world…
