  1. doesn't laroche kill us? i seem to remember that he does. and when he doesn't, he's not swinging.
  2. still waiting on that last assistant for the illini.
  3. [expletive] the wild, [expletive] losers
  4. the speed thing is most of it. i have doubts about a slow receiver being able to do anything in the nfl. he's obviously not slow. if we could trade down and still get jenkins in the 2nd or 3rd, i'd be real happy. if we trade our first round pick, though, we better be getting some real value, like, i'm talking a 3rd and a 4th.
  5. not a rape joke. the mother is the only one being forced to do anything.
  6. see what i mean by kurdish refugees? but seriously, i'd totally do both of those girls. possibly making their mother watch at gunpoint.

  8. i can see the wisdom in picking another WR in the 1st. offense can compensate for an aging defense by keeping it off the field, and then can carry a team while it rebuilds the d. i've changed my mind, if wright is there in the first when you pick, you take him.
  9. and also http://www.chicagotribune.com/media/photo/2012-03/128324980-09195804.jpg

  11. laroche knows he can't hit so he doesn't swing.
  12. WELL CHINA IS A BIG POLLUTER TOO AND THERE WERE SLAVES IN ANCIENT GREECE
  13. Except nobody is making that argument so you "defending" against it is kind of stupid. yeah, he's also prolific at straw-mans. his favorite defense seems to be "everyone else was doing it."
  14. is antigua considered more of an x's and o's guy or more of a recruiter? i don't know if bringing on howard to round out a cabal of recruiters really does them much good. they are already the best recruiting team in the country by a wide margin.
  15. i mean the networks what?
  16. So you could play both sides of the argument and repost other statements after getting called out for you ridiculous defense of the Saints. which is pretty much what he does with every issue
  17. trying to "get" someone's hand and trying to "kill" someone's head are two different things. again, it's hyperbole. distasteful, tacky, over the top, meanspirited, whatever, but it's still hyperbole unless you really think that Williams or any players on the Saints wanted to actually take the life of Frank Gore. "words don't mean what they mean." yeah, that's a pretty compelling defense.
  18. the kids are given scholarships, free education, and the really good players go on to be professionals. don't the schollies include free room and board, too? plus the ancillary perks of being a revenue sport scholarship athlete. the people that generally advocate paying these kids are generally alumns and fans of schools like kentucky.

  20. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/04/05/before-final-game-gregg-williams-urged-saints-to-injure-49ers/ people, mostly ex-nfl players and other meatballs, will argue that it's how you HAVE to play the game. i'm sorry, but you don't HAVE to play it like that. playing in the NFL is a license to hit people and get paid for being good at it, not license to attempt murder.
  21. No, neither is set-up to develop a player like the NCAA can. The NBDL has a minimal salary and less exposure, Europe/overseas like Jennings did introduces odd contracts and unless you're a L. James type talent, an 18 yo is less likely to get exposure. Sabonis was one of the few to do that but he was once a generation. well, then it sounds to me like the NCAA does a pretty good job of promoting athletes who are looking to become professionals, then.
