get him off the streets

As opposed to the darling of so many schoolboys who constantly partook in orgies, got drunk all the time, physically assaulted three umpires, was suspended or fined for inappropriate or vulgar conduct on the field more than a dozen times, was ejected from over 30 games in his career, often played drunk, and once physically attacked and often threatened his manager with violence. You're right, let's excuse Cobb then, other guys were bad too. In an era of racists, Cobb's racism+ was barely above league average. Do you even know who I'm talking about? Does it matter? It could be Jesus Christ himself and it still wouldn't excuse Cobb for being such a terrible person.

So an elevator operator wouldn't take him in the elevator, because it was shut down. So he beat him and then knifed the guy who came over to stop it. Favorite. Player. Ever.

Ignore it? I flat out said he was a racist. That's not ignoring it. If I "deified" a person, I wouldn't admit that they were a douche, a racist, had mental instability, and was an overall jerk. The problem is that you have this image in your head which is just overkill. I mean, he's portrayed as if he's the Grand Wizard of the Klan or something. You still haven't shown anything that separates him from your average white American in terms of racial views at the turn of the last century. Hey, keep insulting me. It's OK. That's not an insult, grow some thicker skin. Is that true or not? Because if it is, there you go.

How in the world can being an unabashed racist not trump your baseball abilities? This is where the whole "you're deifying him" thing comes from. He wasn't a "terrible" racist, sure. He was racist. Often. That's terrible. How you can ignore this is beyond me. Seriously, if it's not muslims or Cobb, you'd have 300 posts. Edit Haha, I'm the one not being objective and being belligerent. Another knee slapper from the great jester of NSBB. i laughed Answer the freaking question.

OK, then why else is Ty Cobb apparently baseball's greatest bigot to you? Why is that the first thing that comes up? Forget the fact that he has the highest BA in history and was one of the game's greatest playmakers. First thing that comes up is "racist!!!!" Why? Because he was a terrible racist and that trumps his baseball ability? This really isn't hard to figure out. When you think of Mike Tyson, do you think "great fighter" or do you think "psychopath"?

Another knee slapper from the great jester of NSBB. i laughed Answer the freaking question. Hahahahahaha, take it easy. I would say that comparing Ty Cobb and Abraham Lincoln as people, based on the fact that they both dropped N-bombs, is pretty loose. Lincoln was a lot more than a terrible person masquerading as a baseball player.

The original "i have black friends". I'm sure Cobb was George Wallace's hero Why is Cobb the poster boy for racism in baseball to you people? Based on what? Because he used the N-word? Then I suppose by that logic Abraham Lincoln should be the poster boy for racism in the White House? How was Cobb any more racist than other people of his time? You guys are such scholars on the man. Enlighten me. what do you mean, "you people"?

CRANK DAT SOULJA BOI WHO DOOOOOOOOOO IT DOOOOOOOOOO IT

just like the 2004 title game, right? just like we were supposed to watch OSU demolish UF last year. We won't beat LSU if we play them. Well, I say that based on Bradford's road performances this year (terrible). If he plays well in Lubbock tonight, I might amend that statement.

Gotta tap into a great football mind when you get the chance. Per Wikipedia "As of 2007, he is the quarterback coach and golf head coach for West Texas A&M University.[1]" West Texas' season must be over. Maybe he is auditioning for a new job. Update: Looks like they won their conference for the third year in a row and start their playoffs. Leaf's pupil threw for 3200 yards and 33 TD's this year. Like I said, West Texas A&M comes up here once every two years to play a team in our coverage area. They are really good, especially passing the ball, so Leaf must be doing something right.

Ryan Leaf is an assistant coach at a college that plays a school in our coverage area, here. He came up to the pressbox post game one day, and all I could think about was how badly I wanted to yell "KNOCK IT OFF, ALRIGHT?"

What in the world does this mean? If he's too good for the bench but not good enough to start, where does that leave him? You've really only got two options, you know
