  1. besides it's clear that filipinos are genetically predisposed to be the best nine ball players and boxers in the world. i'd say the whole funneling kids at an early age to positions that seem right is a good argument. it's not to say that blacks can't play qb, but they are probably better at many other positions initially and are placed accordingly. as offenses change and the qb position demands different skill sets, i'd imagine you'll see a shift. arguably you already have. there really isn't any doubt that, by and large, black athletes have a more burst and simply run faster than anyone in the world. the best sprinters are black. you put fast kids at rb, wr, and db. black kids are usually faster than white kids. if yu have two kids who throw equally well, but one can also catch and run faster, the less fast one is going to play qb. don't know if there is any sort of internalized racism to the decision. maybe. i don't believe anyone who says they aren't 'racist' in terms of forming opinions about other people based on their race or ethnicity before they know the person. my longstanding prejudice against italians hasn't harmed me at all.
  2. the klitschko brothers would like to have a word with you. gerry cooney doesn't because he's been beaten silly by black men.
  3. also this is a guy with developmental upside. he has the physical tools, but hasn't been playing on the o-line for very long.
  4. Just throwing this out there. Does a year away from contact make one more or less susceptible to injury? I could see a year off allowing for further physical development and complete healing of old injuries. I could also see it making one a bit soft. Are there any examples that would point one way or the other?
  5. more or less. less. but if they go to an 18 game season because goodell says that's what fans want, then we're getting closer to the coliseum.
  6. ah. 'tis a slow day on TBD!
  7. yup. i know i live in a more free society than the u.s. the police spend most of their time drinking tea.
  8. plus many. you know where else nationalism is big? china. it was big in germany. big in japan. it's a sickness and usually a sign that people are getting ripped off and/or asked to do things that aren't in their best interests. keep nationalism and politics away from football as much as possible.
  9. i'd say that last year (with the exception of spiller who some people predicted) showed the futility of predicting the bills draft. how many people mentioned troup or carrington? nada if i remember correctly. but, yes, this would be a fine draft.
  10. well i watch the same bloody commercials everyone else does when i watch the bills online. i guess it doesn't count in the tv station's ratings, but the tv station is still doing what it is intended to do: sell viewers to advertisers. mind you i don't understand the swedish commercials when they stream the prime time games. anyway, this is much ado about nothing. i'd be upset if i paid taxes. it is a very silly exercise. atdhe is back already. i'm sure it will be no problem to watch the superbowl. and i might pay a buck a game. the nfl does very well. selling access to games and taking endless bucks from advertisers is a bit much.
  11. lol! i'd have to go with the titans based those pics
  12. i'm glad gailey was frustrating scouts. scouting is all about getting good lucks. why should gailey give other teams good looks? i scout baseball in taiwan and local scouts are always feeding bad info to out of town scouts who fly in. one guy from the braves spent a whole weekend in the wrong city looking for a baseball field that didn't exist because a rival scout fed him false info on the flight over. all is fair in love, war, and scouting.
  13. those were the words most often uttered by our clients right at the beginning of the police interview when i was working in criminal defense in hawaii. nine out of ten definitely had something they should have been hiding.
  14. he has a plus release. tebow can't throw a football.
  15. the douchebag scout for the red sox here in taiwan got a world series ring. everyone connected with the org gets one in baseball. i might be waiting a couple years for mine.
  16. that is funny stuff. absurdist, i guess. the guy is pure distilled stereotype screaming at the world.
  17. took me twenty seconds to browse, thirty to reply. hope it took you more than 50 seconds to waste your time with this wank.
  18. my understanding was that you had to post a bond. it may depend on the offense.
  19. no doubt. i'm looking for wallace to get behind those slow safeties once or twice. doesn't matter how fast revis and cromartie are, nobody can stay with that guy. they'd better slam him off the line. or don't. i'd like pittsburgh to romp. the steelers' o-line is the big question mark.
  20. this is true. when sanchez makes quick reads he actually looks a lot like fitz. i think he is more accurate, but isn't quite as good as fitz at making the quick read. that td pass to tomlinson was a prime example of looking very fitz-like. in a couple years, i think sanchez will be better. now they are about the same.
  21. the first link on atdhe is working smooth. you need to download the v-share widget. i've used it all year with no ill effects, but i'm not a computer guy, so i can't say if it's cool or not.
  22. gabbert has the best qb tools in the draft. beautiful release, strong arm. newton is a relative child. the only question is whether gabbert can learn to read defenses. this is a question for all college qbs, including luck. first to carolina seems too high though. a bit low. not unlike rivers. but i don't view this as a fatal flaw. speaking as a scout (albeit not a football scout!) when you see two plus tools (delivery, arm strength) and an average to maybe above average in the future third (accuracy) then you have a real prospect. again, it depends whether or not he can read pro defenses and react. his college career doesn't show that. of course neither did sam bradford's or any other college qb's.
