LIke it or not... the loss is on the Voters. Clinton is cold, uninspiring, and more of a conservative Democrat. I’m not sure that Sanders would’ve beaten Trump. I say that because I don’t know that Sanders flips any or many of the more liberal republicans. I would like to think Bernie would’ve won, but it’s all guess…

Nah... I have 2 kids. #1. I’m not sure I can afford to send them to college in 10-15 years (rounding a little). #2. You can’t live in fear. You just teach them the best you can, and hope/know they will make the right choices. Too many decisions are based on fear of something with a low % chance of happening. I’m not…

I think it’s because scouts tend to watch bowl games and a guy who was maybe a 6-7 rounder, could improve (playing against other “prospects” maybe), a few rounds, which equals more money. But playing in the Senior bowl, or other “post-season” games with NFL coaching is almost better than any bowl game for fringy…

The problem is exactly who this will have an effect on. This will effect the NCAA and it’s bowl sponsors, and therefore will effect the $$ on the people taking advantage of college athletes. It will effect ticketsales, TV deals, and marketing of these “Events” (to some extent). I totally agree if you are a fringe…

True, but it’s a difficult argument, as if he had been closer to game shape, maybe he would’ve performed better on the field, and thus having a longer career, or maybe would’ve avoided some of those pitfalls? It’s tough to say in hindsight.

Difference is those guys are getting paid. The guys in college are not yet (or at least not at a level that compares to the potential NFL earnings. The problem with this is inevitably some guy who is not a top prospect will start doing these things, and it will hurt their prospects (sorta like all the basketball…

Not really. The Bears D- is ok (a little worse than average last year, but the offense was so bad, it had a negative effect on the D), and their offensive line is ok. The WR’s are pretty terrible though. They do need some work in the secondary.

Honestly in your list the only one I would consider a Franchise QB (that was availible to houstoun, which excludes Mariota and Winston) at this point is Carr. Brisset is not a sure thing, and neither is Garrapolo who Could be another Cassell (Good on the Pats, and terrible in worse systems). Kessler has proven…

Thats my biggest complaint with the Draft. I understand that you need to have a good QB in the NFL. But the bears are lacking at skill positions, and they did have a fairly league average defense last year. Plus they drafted in the last 2 years, a dt, a de, a olb, a MLB, 2 CB, 3 safeties, on top of FA aquisitions of 2…

I think Glennon is a roll of the Dice, not a stop GAP, but the only other options for chicago were Hoyer, Barkley, Cutler, or a bunch of terribleness. So in that regard Glennon, who was meh in his Rookie year, and never got another chance is worth the risk. Basically a 1 year deal, with a not terrible AAV, it’s worth…

I can tell you the difference for me. ESPN (sportscenter specifically) stopped being about highlights and re-capping the sports highlights and news, and started becoming analysis driven (ESPN News was for highlights, and now thats not even all the time, and you have to pay extra for that), Most of the analysis is…

There have been quite a few issues in the NHL, but they aren’t reported as much, cause it’s the NHL, and most people don’t care about the NHL. There have been some college basketball (and professional B-ball) incidents (especially re: drugs) and Drug/DUI and domestic issues have popped up in the MLB too. I would bet…

I agree the NFL is pretty tone-deaf, but I think it’s ridiculous to look for the NFL (Or any form of entertainment) to be the standard of morality. I’m not saying you should give your money to the NFL, (you do you), and lets face it, they get enough $$. I am more concerned with why it’s so hard to prosecute, and I…

You really don’t pay attention to Hockey news do you...? Really this is just an ignorant statement. The arrest rate of NFL athletes is pretty consistent with the general population, and while the DV rate is slightly higher (In certain years), it’s not overall statistically significant. It’s just much more highly…

Yes. There are absolutely idiots who cannot separate those two things.

Honestly, I question your use of “innocent” citizens. The woman in the video initiated the physical altercation. I’m not defending Mixon, you shouldn’t hit women as a general rule, unless there is no other option to protect your personal safety. That obviously wasn’t the case in Mixon’s situation. But, your statement…

Meh... FSU is still top 10, and judging by past history it’s not that far off of a statement. Neither are all that great at keeping kids out of jail.

Counterpoint. Jason Heyward won in 2016. Terrible hitting stats. Quality defender by most advanced statistics. (Overall I agree, as “perceived” defensive quality seems to matter more, and traditional defensive stats (errors) matter more when it comes to Gold Gloves. Jeter didn’t make a lot of errors, but he had…

You say “yes you, liberal men”. I’m just making the point that harassment isn’t a gender specific issue. There are plenty of instances of women harassing men, and its also a problem. Harassment is a problem without gender or political party. That is my take away. I get your point which was harassment is without…

Would anyone be surprised if he was? I’m not surprised when I hear about anyone possibly juicing, cause I’m sure its still in baseball, just on a much smaller scale than it was before. But it’s been two weeks, I’m sure someone will figure out how to get that guy out.
