  1. Punt from the 32 yard line? No way.
  2. A lot of the newer stuff can be described this way, but not the older songs when rapper’s couldn’t just mumble their way through a beat.
  3. I get the outrage over giving someone a job because of their skin color. That shouldn’t happen, ever. I DON’T get the outrage over simply giving a minority an interview because of his skin color. If they feel they’re being used or not taken seriously, they can turn the interview down. Don’t feel angry or insulted for them. That’s not your place.
  4. What one perceives as a problem, another perceives as an opportunity. Their skin color grants them an interview, nothing more. What they can take away from that interview is experience… and if they’re lucky, a job. To your second point, an organization doesn’t always know what it’s looking for, it’s the old adage “I’ll know it when I see it.” Going back to Tomlin, you could argue the Steelers didn’t have serious interest in hiring him when they scheduled the interview, but Tomlin blew them away and so he got the job. It’s only insulting if an individual allows it to be. Do you suffer from the rule in some way?
  5. Agree with the bolded, but it does open opportunities for minorities that otherwise wouldn’t have been there. The opportunity to interview for a coveted HC position. Nothing more, nothing less. I believe Tomlin was a beneficiary of the Rooney Rule and the Steelers had said without the rule in place he likely wouldn’t have even been interviewed (if it wasn’t Tomlin and the Steeler’s comments, someone correct me on this). Minorities have long lagged behind others when it comes to opportunities for advancement, so I can’t poo poo the rule.
  6. Yeah because if I was a fan of the opposing team I’d be throwing them to get a penalty on the Bills.
  7. Kudos to them for drafting first round replacements in every case, but they’ve beaten the odds twice in terms of hitting on a franchise QB. Those guys are rare, there are way more busts and duds than superstars at that position, but don’t tell that to the Packers. They’re due a drought.
  8. There’s not a fanbase more spoiled than the Packers. To go from Brett Favre, to Aaron Rodgers, to Jordan Love…
  9. Congrats, Lions! When will HCs learn that taking a 5 yard delay of game penalty in the second half is MUCH better than burning a timeout? They just don’t get it.
  10. I’d be furious with McD if he ran fifty seconds off the clock with 3 TOs in his pocket.
  11. I don’t remember any talk of LaPorta going into the draft. I recall Kincaid and Mayer were thought to be the two best TEs. Kudos to the Lions for picking LaPorta before Mayer at the top of the 2nd round.
  12. Sneed is what Kaiir Elam was drafted to be. Long, rangy, fast, and physical man corner. Not sure the light will ever come on for Elam, or if it does, it’ll be with another team and in another scheme.
  13. We need Grape 🍇 Davis for KC. He usually plays well against them.
  14. Dolphins defense is missing 6 starters, but this game is totally on the inept offense.
  15. The good thing is we know them almost as well as a divisional opponent at this point. Bad news is, they know us that well too. Hope Josh brings his A game.
  16. Hill just got demolished on that 5 yard chuck rule.
  17. The Chiefs were without Pacheco, Tranquil, and who else when we played them?
  18. Theres not a single bone in my body that’s happy after a successful KC play. I’m not necessarily happy about a Dolphins positive play, but I do find it… more tolerable.
  19. *knock on wood*
  20. Baltimore may pay that price too. Tough getting back into game speed after a 2 week vacay.
  21. Flacco was a nice comeback story, played well for getting off his couch, but his time is over.
  22. Always loved Singletary’s moves, he just can’t get out of 3rd gear.
  23. For some reason Collins slowed up a bit once he got past the secondary.
  24. I didn’t answer your question because it’s not a point I raised, or disagreed with. I thought you would’ve understood that seeing as how I never contested the point. Belichick went 5-13 with a “good” QB in Drew Bledsoe. What was the problem there? How did Tom Brady step in and go 15-3 with the same roster of players? The Pats roster with a prime Tom Brady could never qualify as “not that great.” In whatever years you’re referencing, compare the talent they had against the talent they had to beat. No QB was on the level of Tom Brady, so that’s going to immediately level the field. As to the bolded, I never said you said “all coaches,” so who’s exaggerating the point?
