Not at all. Teams shift players in and out of their practice squad all the time based on injuries to other players, or any number of things that don't have anything to do with the player being cut's current performance.

Practice squad players are basically fourth and fifth string players that the team wants to protect but doesn't have room for on their roster.

It's possible that a team in need of a practice squad linebacker is declining to sign him because of bias, but Occam's razor might also apply at this point.

I don't think that's the takeaway at all. His time in St. Louis and on the Cowboys practice squad was pretty unremarkable. That's a milestone in and of itself.

He might not be a very good NFL player. By all accounts he got a fair shot in St. Louis and got beaten out for a roster spot by someone playing better, and the Cowboys didn't have a need for him. I was rooting for him to succeed wildly, but it might not be in the cards.

Who is in trouble?

Do you think it's possible to be a violent / bad person without being mentally ill?

No, I don't think that's necessarily true at all. One can do terrible things without being mentally ill.

The correct answer is Steamboat vs. Savage at WMIII.

Not everything is a mental illness or the result of CTE. Sometimes people are violent, self-pitying assholes.

First, it has nothing to do with safety.

Why would people in Cleveland care enough to make shirts about Wilson?

You're wrong for two reasons:

Country is a bunch of unbearable hicks twanging about pickups and beer.

If by "self-respecting," you mean "fundamentally ignorant," then you're probably right.

The proportion of shitty country to good country music is the same as shitty rock to good rock, and shitty hip-hop to good hip-hop. 5% of it is good, 95% is terrible. It is always thus.

Country doesn't exist.

The best "country" always came out of Texas

I get why the protestors are angry. I get why people who support Darren Wilson are angry.
