This goes back to a debate about Bill Belichick. Is Belichick a football genius or are the majority of coaches just too stupid and he stands out because he exercises independent thought?

I had forgotten about those three guys when I wrote that reply. Surely they are the only exceptions though. Good Kinja.

Just be careful which kind of modest you’re talking here. Modest rural backgrounds are OK. Modest urban backgrounds will be asked to try WR.

Coaches are worried that the dude is smarter than they are. They’d rather have a meathead who does what he’s told without asking why.

Try not using a 1940s-era fascist front group as your username. It would make your comments more credible.

This piece is objectively kinder to Ivanka than she deserves

The only thing funny about this is that America, even more specifically the working class, cheered and championed this every step of the way.

The modern Internet needs more Al Bundy references.

Please don’t insult brave men like Al Bundy by comparing this huckster to them.
