Coach Tuesday

It's not a red herring at all, and you know that. African-Americans, in particular, do not have nearly the level of confidence in the justice system that other groups enjoy. A policy such as you're suggesting will deter them from coming forward to report crimes, especially crimes against them committed by whites, because they'll (perhaps rightly) believe that they'll end up with a long-term prison sentence for simply reporting the crime. The same would likely be true for poor people, who would be deterred from reporting crimes against wealthier individuals. Back to Conley - unless he has evidence that she made up the allegations, this is a bizarre and questionable strategy, to say the least.

If everyone had equal access to justice, maybe. You go ahead and continue to pretend that's reality - but it isn't.

You can be civilly liable for false imprisonment/malicious prosecution, and perjury is a crime.

Yes, that ought to fully deter people who lack faith in the justice system from coming forward to report crimes against them. Well done. There are some raging psychotics around here.

Nothing good will come of this (thread).

You're not wrong, Walter, you're just...

Let's call it what it was, a "throwing competition." Passing happens during live action.

This place is a sewer.

Also "vexed" doesn't mean what he thinks it means.

The obsession these days with what media folks say...

The Doldrums...

Too bad "Harness the Comraderie!" doesn't roll off the tongue as well as "Trust the Process!"...

Yes, and it’s not easy to write - period. Three quarters of the posters on this forum can’t write a complete, grammatically correct sentence, let alone string a page of sentences together into a coherent point. The “anyone can be a sportswriter” takes KILL me. Half of the daily thread titles here sound like they were written by a third grader or a maybe a cat sitting on a keyboard. Quality writing is soon to become an extinct art. Or maybe a dead letter...

This is where we are in the Post-Truth Era. The internet has democratized knowledge and, at the same time, made it very difficult for print media to turn a profit. Writers are no longer sources of information like they used to be, and mainstream media as an institution has been under attack by lunatics on the fringes who think they know as much (if not more) than experts, intellectuals and reporters because, well, they read stuff online, and also by the supreme lunatic who sits at 1600 Penn. Knowledge itself is under siege - there are no pure "facts" anymore. Mix all that together with the anonymous Internet tough guys on a sports team message board, and you get a thread like this.

Including eball...

Way to use those interpretation skills...

You left out the most important factor - he's the only WR who has played for Daboll...

Why are you asking the six nutjobs on what remains of this board?

There is a special corner of hell reserved for internet trolls.

SOMEBODY SAID SOMETHING!!!!!

Something that features the tight end...

Man if he isn't one of the all time biggest POAs in sports history. He's been trolling the HOF for years to politic his way in, and now that he's finally inducted he's bailing on the ceremony? Such an unlikeable dude.

Gordon had one of - if not the - greatest years ever for a WR before life took its toll on him. If he can regain anything close to his old form he's a top-five player.

Eh, that's not my style. I'll drive 50 miles just to vote "undecided."

Announce it? This thread is the equivalent of a practice fight. We need the pads to go on and we need to start hitting other teams. This is booooooring stuff.
