NC-17 posted:Matt Cassel looked like a bumbling retard in most of his preseason showings and was worth a 2nd round pick eventually. So ergo Hoyer is worth two 1st's at least. Ok I get that people get amped up for preseason heroes (and also that you are joking) but man, I can't believe people are already talking about when Mallett takes over for Brady in 2015 and what we can get for Hoyer in a trade. At this rate by the 3rd preseason game people will be debating which fingers Mallett will be wearing his rings on.

In this post, we demonstrate a poor understanding of both the world and statistics.quote:If you put the odds at PSU landing either Urban Meyer, Tony Dungy, or Jon Gruden at about a 1 in 8 chance, or say 12-15% for each of them . . . . . . when you add it all up statistically, you get pretty close to 40-60 / 50-50 for landing one of them.

A PFT post about the potential for women officials. What could possibly go wrong? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/08/13/female-officials-coming-soon-to-the-nfl/ quote:I’ll be honest and say I really can’t stand the idea of women in the NFL. I am personally sick of the myriad female commentators. Every network has a bunch of them, and they talk out their @sses in my opinion. Why do women have to feel they need to infiltrate every conceivable male bastion. I watch the NFL to find an escape from the yammering, know-it-all females that dominate the world. I couldn’t care less if you want to outlaw the stupid cheerleaders, too. That whole bit is asinine. The fans don’t need “help” to know when to cheer or boo.

quote:Many people will use this as yet another tired excuse to (yawn) rail against the inequities of the NCAA system itself. These people simply miss the point entirely. Spare me. The players know the rules. They know the conditions that they voluntarily agree to work under. They chose this life. If they also chose to violate their agreements, then that is not somehow the NCAAs fault. As draconian as the rules appear, the rules exist because this sort of thing would only be worse if the rules were less strict.

There is nothing I'd like to see more than a white boy (not just any white boy but a ginger!) in the backfield running all over defenses. Unfortunately, in modern football, that just doesn't happen with 211 lb white boys. ~230 lbs is where it's at for whitey (see Jacob Hester and Toby what's his face) because size/power is the only way to make up for a lack of pure speed/shiftiness. I don't know if a white RB under 220 lbs in the past 10+ years has ever started for any BCS team (excluding BYU, etc) and there is a reason for that: The position of the belly button. I thought people at my school (GT) were supposed to be smart

Oodles of Wootles posted:I'm sorry, what? That's a new one to me too. A google search for belly button racism revealed (maybe due to a picture) this. quote:French medical anatomist Etienne Serres really did argue that black males are primitive because the distance between navel and penis remains small throughout life, while white children begin with small separation but increase it during growth—rising belly button as a mark of progress.

Yeah I've never heard of the belly button thing before in my life and I've lived in the south for 23 years now... Also good guess on that. His username is "HelluvaMGTmjr"... This guy has always posted against any white player and has been insisting this whole offseason that our starting running back is white just to make our black backups work harder because our coach is trying to make a point (or something along those lines). He just keeps convincing himself that our current starter isn't good at all, despite the coaches and defensive players saying he hits the hole the hardest, which is his primary function.

ChickenMedium posted:I like how they mention that blacks statistically have longer legs than whites, but still it's the belly button thing that gives them the advantage? Well the belly button is representing the center of gravity, which is apparently the important thing. Leg length just serves to raise or lower that. So if you put a black athlete next to a white athlete of identical height but the black athlete has slightly longer legs (compared to the white athlete's slightly longer torso), he'll also have a slightly higher center of gravity. So it's not about having longer legs, it's about having proportionally longer legs. At least, that's how I interpret it. Or maybe it's all a big racist thing, I don't know, I'm pretty tired right now
