That was just the stupidest mini segment showing any player of all time. Collinsworth took two random plays from 11 years apart, and Brady threw the ball after 3.7 seconds in one and 3.3 in another, to show his release time, as if those two plays had anything to do with each other. I can't believe how dumb that was.

Now Shady wants every snap.

It's about time!! :D

I think we have to show we can get the ball downfield through the air, regardless of how we do it. Just so Carolina and other teams in subsequent weeks don't put eight and nine in the box most plays and take away a good chunk of our run game. The Jets still have a pretty good defense. I expect a lot of rollouts, and maybe a few plays with a moving pocket, get Tyrod outside, then have him stop and throw 30-40 yards downfield.

Some I would imagine. Maybe a lot. But he had been discussing doing what he did last year the previous year with the beat writer for the 49ers. The writer said he brought it up all the time, in 2015, and spent a long time thinking about it and talking with people from all kinds of places before he even kneeled for the first time. It was not at all a sudden thing. I wish more politicians would be more honest like this one... The chairman of the North Carolina Republican Party rebuked Kimberley Paige Barnette, who has since apologized for her remarks. "VOTE FOR ME!" Barnette, 53, wrote on her Facebook page, the Charlotte Observer reported. "REPUBLICAN & SMART, WHITE, TRADITIONAL." http://thehill.com/homenews/state-watch/349431-candidate-for-charlotte-mayor-puts-white-among-qualifications

Can't trust Canadians. Moose and Squirrel colluded with the Russians.

I know that dude! He's Ted Cruz's uncle! The cops already admitted a cop had a gun to his head.

Hey, I'm the only one here out of a couple dozen posts who has admitted he is openly prejudiced and not always fair to people. None of you other self-righteous blowhard hypocrits who are preaching about what you would and wouldn't do are willing to. He's not. But most backups in the league totally suck. He just usually sucks. I also totally understand why an owner would not want to bring this on his team and town, and locker room, and the upside would not outweigh the downside. If he was better, he would be signed. But he IS better than a lot of guys that have deals. That is also true. I also would question if his head is completely in the game. If it's not, then that is another reason not to sign him. it's possible to do both but I don't know for sure that he is into that at this point.

I agree with all of that. Jim Brown is a very smart and interesting guy, although anyone could take issue with some of the things he has done and said. I always liked Jim Brown. I was not in favor of what Kaepernick did. I understand it, I just don't think he should have done it. In general, however, people's know-nothing-about him's reaction to it showed more about them than him. He's a very interesting and smart, thinking guy, too. And again, I was against what he did from the start and still am. And of course there are a lot more factors than race. I don't think it's all race. I think a large portion of it is.

This article has a lot of information in it and worth the read if you're interested. Nothing is for sure though. They had no idea what the shooter, if there even was one looked like. So it's not like they were looking for a black guy. The police's explanation makes sense to some degree, although that is just taking their word for it. There were 126 cameras that should have caught something, so the truth will likely come out. https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/news/las-vegas-police-explain-michael-bennett-incident-deny-claim-of-racial-profiling/

Yeah, another example of white entitlement. We're entitled to all the schitty jobs not you lousy negroes. Now THAT was a socio-economic issue at heart more than a racial one of course. All you needed was $300 or pay someone to take your place.

Oh I didn't mean that people there treated them differently or in the first few weeks/months. I meant what they had already experienced for their first 18 or so years, wherever they grew up. Not all, of course, and it's surely possible that in this particular incident it is just as Chef James says, just alike people liking alike people. I imagine the Black French Majors Club had only one member. I wouldn't even help the Black French Major out.

Yup. There are cameras everywhere. I haven't really looked into exactly where this happened, but it seems highly unlikely that this hasn't been captured almost completely somewhere. Or pieced together from a couple good sources. I have no personal opinion of Bennett whatsoever. I have no idea in fact if he is considered a good or bad guy, a boy scout or troublemaker, 33 or 13 on his wonderlic, a malcontent or the nicest guy you'll ever meet. No clue. Just seems weird he would make that up, like you said, in Vegas, the day before the major fight when you can't find a room anywhere, the week before the season is starting. THAT would be strange brew. It's a little off topic but we were talking about this a few days ago here. It's INSANE how many black people in Los Angeles still think OJ was innocent. Despite what we all know. And it's simply because so many have experienced or so many know someone who has been framed or abused by the cops so they think that is what may have happened here. So despite ALL evidence to the contrary, that's what they believe. Smart people. This isn't fake. This crap happens ALL the time. That's where it comes from and it's undeniable.

I don't think that is a fair comparison. Of course those people hang out with others like them. In fact, where jocks are concerned, sports are one of the few things that transcend race. You really don't see many racial issues these days within high school, college or pro locker rooms. One of the only things like it. Sports don't get enough credit for that. I live in Los Angeles. While sure there are some long standing ethnic, Korean, black, Hispanic, etc. neighborhoods for the most part people of all colors live in every area outside of maybe Beverly Hills and Malibu and that is decidedly a socio-economic thing. The vast, vast majority of bars and restaurants are not predominately black or brown. They exist of course, but people don't see color in this city anywhere close to how I see it in Buffalo. Perhaps they just have to here but I don't think so. People in general seem to be more tolerant in big cities where there is a lot of diversity. Most everyone I know from Buffalo thinks Buffalo is pretty racist, even the ones that are.

In his account of it, he said "They told us to get out and everybody ran." Who knows the truth of it now.

Which is exactly what we need at this time from the leader of the free world.

If I were you, I would ask myself why didn't the black kids feel comfortable with the white kids... and only feel comfortable around their own kind? Because the black kids thought they were superior? Because the white kids didn't treat them differently at all and were actually really kind to them, the black kids were just racist elitists? Ummm... no.

A certifiable ignorant ass__hole Trump makes a deal with the two most slimeball, squirrelly disingenuous Democrats (and there is a LOT of fierce competition for that prize)... What could possibly go wrong?

Actually in the draft riots, the blacks got the way worse of it, way worse than the Irish. I just did a project on it and had to do a lot of research. I actually agree with a lot of the socio-economic stuff. And I surely know and see endless amounts of minorities that don't take responsibility. It's awful and they should be called out on it. The mother of the kid I took care of was the most stereotypical bad mom you could imagine. And the crappy blowhard liberals spend way too much time and money on handouts. I totally agree with that. It's inarguable. But that is overridden IMO by the long-standing and still strong endemic racism in this country, especially against black people. I'm not sure. She would likely say "Why are you still friends with him?" and then we would have a good discussion on the pros and cons. It's not like he's my best friend, I have just known him since high school and spent a lot of time with him over the years because I happen to have kept the same group of 15 or so friends for 40 years. None of you self-righteous blowhards, living 3000 miles away from someone, and not having specific information and evidence about times and names, etc, who found out a friend of yours did a racist scumbag thing, would turn this guy in. No one. Lying Tasker said he doesn't even know anyone who has been racist (because if they were he wouldn't know them anymore). That kills me. Although perhaps with his definition, where nothing is racist, he wouldn't. People just hanging out having noral conversations think nothing of saying "Those fukking n*ggers." You go to bars or restaurants and it's pretty segregated. Neighborhoods are still pretty segregated. There are thousands of exceptions of course. But the suburbs are still very white there for the most part. It's the language and the general dismissal that stands out to me. I know dozens of people who have moved away who think the same thing. They can't believe it whenever they go back.

If there were not so many untrustworthy people to do the right thing, then of course it would, and I would not do what I do or think what I think. But there are far, far, far too many people who don't treat minorities fairly. It's a fact and it's not really getting much better. Only incrementally so. I admit it's not fair and what I do is not fair. Always have, not shy about it. I wish others on the opposite side would admit it, too (not you, you have been as reasonable as possible in this debate).

Yes, I would. In the thousand year war for sure. I just think that those three have fared much better during my lifetime in my country and in my experience. So it's really the blacks that I will go way out of my way for. For half of my life when I lived back east, and especially Buffalo, it was a black and white thing. The second half, in Phx and L.A. I have no included Latinas and Armenians to the mix. I'm surrounded by them. L.A. is actually an amazing city. People really seem to live pretty well in harmony here. It's obviously got problems like any big city but overall, people get along pretty great here. When I go back to Buffalo I am constantly amazed by how racist it is. While those stats are true, it's one of the most racist things you can say and stances you can take. Minorities have every chance to do well and they just don't help themselves. If they would only act like us smarter, more pure, less promiscuous white folk they wouldn't have these problems.

I don't. At all. And if they don't, all the better. They are now getting the treatment that lucky bastard white people have for a thousand years. Don't need the help AND people just give them more for no reason. :D Not only that, but just because they may be financially fine or well educated or live in a nicer house and have a better job than me doesn't mean they don't need everyone, or at least more people to be nice to them for no reason. As Micheal Bennett seems to be in need of.
