I guess it was the "never, under any circumstances, bite the hand that feeds" argument that seemed very libertarian/Randian. Sometimes the hand that feeds is in the wrong. Sometimes it needs to be bit.

I respect that you're anti name-calling, but I've gotta ask... are you a libertarian? You are, aren't you?

There's for sure a Greggggg Easterbrook column in this about how so-called "skill position" players are more prone to thuggery. Damn you Greg Hardy and Ray McDonald for fucking up the narrative.

Ew. Child abuse apologist and science denier? Too bad all that parental discipline in your twenties wasn't enough for your ass to stay in school. I'm out.

We'll see who has the last laugh when Peyton Hillis gets arrested for beating up his grandmother tomorrow.

Okay, follow up question: You can clone any current NFL player 21 times to make the best possible starting lineup (omitting special teams for simplicity). Why do you pick Jimmy Graham, and who will be your toughest opposition?

I feel like your argument kind of just collapsed on itself though. You said (a) you don't hit your nephew, but (b) your nephew behaves better around you because you don't put up with his bullshit. It's not some binary choice between spanking your kids and letting the inmates run the asylum. I'm no dad of the year or…

Call me old fashioned, but I'm an African violet man myself.

I see that line, clear as day. That's why I have never, and will never, hit my kids. I was asking where you draw the line—those of you who think some child-hitting is okay, but other child-hitting isn't. I take it from your comment you think the answer is obvious, but clearly it isn't. Even people who are pro-corporal…

I feel like your last question is totally at odds with your claim that your family has a "martial arts tradition." Martial arts (well, legitimate ones) teach self-defense, not violent aggression. They also teach control of body and mind, and the view that violence is an absolute last resort in the face of a legitimate…

Hey, first time DUAN caller here. Love the program, thanks for having me.

First Amendment pal.

Hey, fuck you buddy. I was the FIRST person in my league to advocate for the RB/WR flex.

Could be a cultural thing, too. Seems like a lot of these backs are brought up in the South... Georgia Tech, Oklahoma, etc. Maybe this is just the way backs do things down there.

I know I'm going to get torn to shreds for stereotyping by the libtard deadspin PC police, but someone needs to say it: Why is it always the back guys?

My favorite part of this comment is how, right up until you got to fantasy football, I thought you were just describing the plot of Suckers. Have to say, the fantasy angle would have improved that already stellar film.

Sorry, but that analogy is ridiculous. Of course if you knowingly let your kid touch a hot surface, you're a negligent asshole. If you have time to smack them, you also have time to grab their hand. Why the hell wouldn't you just do that? And if you're saying the only way to prevent them from getting burned is to grab…

I appreciate that you gave my question a good faith response. I have two main hang-ups here. One is that, in Drew's story, the punishment isn't delivered in a controlled, emotionless way. He was furious, frustrated, and at the end of his rope, so he decided to resort to spanking. That's how it was when my parents…

Do tell! I'm a Panthers fan and have been following the story closely. Would love to know what I've missed...

So confused right now. I heard Tallahassee PD declined to bring charges for public obscenity. That means FSU can't suspend him, right?
