Did they test the same brands of beer bought directly from distributors? Or is this an experiment with no control group?

"Cowherd, however, said it's OK that only three percent of African-Americans watch hockey, which, clearly, is not OK."

Also create a completely different user account for things you want to keep from prying eyes, keep all the files in the user directory, and encrypt them.

Yes. Very damning. Someone lending a helping hand in the future should always be excoriated. And no one should ever be given the opportunity to rehabilitate himself.

"...distancing itself from a mismanaged league with a domestic violence problem..."

This is the dumbest thing I have ever read.

"My... reaction when I hear the words "Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior" is to duck, because I feel like I'm about to have a spear thrown at me. I find overt religiosity abjectly terrifying."

It's bizarre how this particular form of "cheating" is singled out and discriminated against in baseball, when cheating has been a cornerstone of baseball culture since it started. Gaylord Perry was infamous for doctoring balls, yet he sits in the Hall of Fame — no asterisk there. We've had nail files, corked bats,…

Who has a problem with Sam succeeding? I sure don't. Dungy never said he has a problem with it, either. You should look at what people are saying, not what you are projecting on them. Only thing I'm saying is hopefulness is coloring people's perception of how Sam is treated. He's bringing out supporters who don't…

You cannot cite exceptions and demand they be the rule. Awards do not mean shit. This isn't like finding a job, where you can impress your prospective employer because you were in the Young Business People's Club in college. In the NFL, measurables and athleticism are really good indicators of future performance. You…

He may not have been drafted. Name recognition alone may have bought Michael Sam a draft spot. This was an exceptionally deep draft, with a record number of underclassmen entering it. Sam was at the bottom of his class in all measurables. He had a miserable combine. "Playing with heart" makes for great cinema, but in…

Actually what Dungy said is that the distraction he invites is not commensurate with his ability to play football. Important distinction there, but your motivated reasoning will not allow you to see it.

We have no way of knowing anything. When I have a 19, and the dealer is showing a 6, I don't *know* that he's going to bust. But that's the bet I'm going to make. Similarly while we don't yet know that Sam is not an NFL-caliber player, the empirical data certainly points there. Your bias that makes you want him to be…

Deer lourde you have no clue of what you're talking about. College awards don't mean shit on a player's resume. Go back and take a look at his combine, and see how he stacked up against his contemporaries — 4.91 40, 17 reps. Slow and weak. That's not a good resume.

If you would just read some of the comments in this thread, you'll see your an attempt at an ironic statement is actually factual. People will be furious when Sam doesn't make the cut. People in these comments are claiming he should have been drafted in the first three rounds, and that he'll be a great NFL player. He…

How do you know what kind of player Sam will be? There are quite a few very good players who went in late rounds/undrafted. (Tom Brady/John Randle to name a couple that come to mind quickly) There have also been great undersized players...

He's an SEC Defensive Player of the Year from one of the strongest programs in the country

It's actually not. The type of player you speak of is the exception, not the rule, and is almost always a late round draft pick or undrafted free agent. You are really out of your element in this discussion.

LOL. This is what happens when people who don't know shit about football try to talk about football. "Draft services" are notorious for giving grades far higher than they should. There are 32 draft spots in every round, yet twice that many players is graded to that round. College awards don't mean shit in the league.…

No, he wouldn't take him because the media baggage he comes with is not commensurate with his talent level. Stop pretending this is a new concept. If you owned a company, a sales person could come into work gakked out on coke every day, if he was knocking down millions in revenue, but you would definitely not tolerate…
