To be fair, Orlovsky is much more familiar with the Rams’ patented 3 and Out offense.

But the NFL Owners have a Pakistani friend, they can’t be racist!

Man, you guys, I think maybe the NFL has a racism problem.

Yeah, his opinions are garbage.

I know everyone has opinions on these people, but generally I’m just overall sad about the layoffs. This is a lot of people flooding the market in an industry that’s not exactly thriving.

anyone noticing a pattern in this comment?

Some of that shit is so funny I want to tell whoever made some of those memes they should get into writing for comedy. We are some clever people on twitter.

Hahahahahah! This is why I fucks with The root and grapevine.

Michael Jordan kind of pioneered the fly basketball sneaker movement. What is this fuckery? Or are ugly shoes just the wave, and I’m out the loop b/c I stopped buying Jordans in high school? Even now, I couldn’t imagine being caught dead in any design past the 17s.

Are you saying that innovating when a play breaks down doesn’t require a high football IQ?

You say it was “born out of necessity” like it didn’t have to do with Griffin also possessing phenomenal abilities that made the choice to use him as a runner a smart one. If he was just a bad football player with a low IQ, the “born out of necessity” choice would have been not using him at all. This is like saying…

How many pro athletes do you think could maintain a world-historically high level of production after having their primary physical talent completely taken away from them? You’re echoing Lombardi’s (completely terrible) logic, here: A phenomenally successful player gets his leg completely destroyed, sees his…

Wait. So the guy lacked basic qualifying experience that other QBs have had for literally years before they get to the NFL, but still had the best rookie season a quarterback has ever had ... and you figure that means he isn’t a fast football learner with a high IQ?

Easy. He doesn’t mention him in his article.

Like all of his seven essential qualities, Lombardi defines “the thickest skin,” basically, as “good enough at football that I can point to him and say he has whatever buzzword I’m pushing and people will nod and say ‘Yes, he has that.’”

How is he defining “thick skin” here? Because I feel like I’ve heard all kinds of stories about guys like Montana, Brady, Brees and the like, held on to every perceived slight and used it to fuel/drive their performance.

When I used to sometimes listen to Simmons’s old podcast years ago, I always enjoyed when Lombardi would talk about how the New York Giants had like cracked the secret of the draft because they took big, athletic, good football players who played valuable positions. Like it was some kind of revolutionary drafting…

His appearancs on Simmons’s podcasts are nothing but cliches and self-invented catchphrases. It’s a wonder any NFL team after his first employed him.

As long as you can get American soldiers killed, you will always have defenders, because there will always be people who think saying that American soldiers were sent somewhere to die for no good reason is more offensive than sending American soldiers somewhere to die for no good reason.

Ah, the hypocrisy is thick. Remember when he went after the Khan family and accused HRC of using them as a political prop? Fun times, man. Fun times.
