Here's another bullet point for ya: But it was a promotion. He went from VP of scouting for Dallas, to GM for the Miami Dolphins. You can't say it isn't a promotion because he didn't have control over personnel. He still had all kinds of new responsibilities, more direct reports, negotiating contracts, etc. It's just that Parcells had final say in all thing personnel.

The Dolphins hiring Tomlin instead of Cam "The Camera" Cameron, that's an alternate universe I wouldn't mind spending time in.

Nately posted:Sports writers have to cover these guys but they also get a little starstruck, so you may notice that when a player (like Cam Newton) is abrupt or rude with them, they react with the fury of a teenager turned down by her crush. I think Cam gets a hard time because he doesn't seem to humour these guys and it drives them nuts.

Proof that Yahoo sports writers are hacks, #56546: http://sports.yahoo.com/news/nfl--raiders-owner-mark-davis-puts-gm-staff-on-notice-with-firing-of-pr-head-014553646.html quote:For one thing, whining about the salary cap is unbecoming and, in this case, a bit disingenuous. Yes, McKenzie inherited somewhat of a mess, but plenty of other men in his position encounter similar challenges and find creative ways to address such issues while remaining competitive. Yeah, 50 million in dead cap money and being incredibly short on draft picks is more than somewhat of a mess.

Hey, thread, have some odious garbage: http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/9441388/nfl-new-england-patriots-stained-aaron-hernandez-sagaESPN posted:Team owner Robert Kraft is to blame. So is coach Bill Belichick. They made the choice to gamble on Hernandez, and while they could not have foreseen that one day their star tight end would be charged with murder as well as five gun-related offenses, they knew he had issues, including reported multiple failed drug tests while Hernandez was at Florida. "For weed" should be branded on the forehead of anyone who writes about Hernandez's "multiple failed drug tests." ESP-loving-N posted:Given what Hernandez now is accused of in a story that gets more grisly by the day, New England tarnished its brand by choosing Hernandez twice, and it will take more than a jersey exchange to wipe that tarnish away. It will take time. And better choices. And fewer risks. Explain to me, without using any ex post facto reasoning, how signing (and re-signing) Hernandez was a bad choice, or a risk. The whole article is sub-Bleacher Report level. It is literally the hackiest column a human being could write about the Aaron Hernandez saga. midwat fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Jul 2, 2013 |

I don't know how true this is but I'd think the type of people who feel like that was some precursor to murder probably know it was pot and don't care at all. They'd still make a bigger deal out of it if it was heroin or something, but to them it's just different flavors of the same kind of wrong. That or they're just writing terrible things to make people talk. Since I'm not going to click that link who wrote it by the way? Grittybeard fucked around with this message at 02:19 on Jul 2, 2013 |

I'm pretty sure this is clickbait, but it's just plausible enough to be someone's really dumb opinion.

On one hand this goes against Matt Tabbi's "always draft weed" recommendation but on the other hand the Patriots already got more than a full worth for 4th round pick especially if they are weaseling out of paying him real money on his renegotiated contract.

I'm all for pot legalization and know that using it doesn't indicate anything about your character. But I see drug tests in big time college athletics as more of an IQ test. As in, if you are at a major college program with a real shot at the pros and you can't loving stay off weed, then you are either an idiot or have developed a problem. The rules against pot are stupid, but they are there and they have real impact on a player's income-earning potential. In this case, the repeated failures were a possible symptom that the player had issues, obviously not the cause. Wasn't Hernandez a first or second round talent? Holy poo poo, how much money did he lose right off the bat based on "character issues"?

I have a theory that the writer for the Ravens SB Nation has recently gotten into an argument on the internet with a 49ers fan, because this beauty happened.SBNation posted:Just seeing if you know how I think. We won the superbowl because we cheated. Obviously every call was made for us and the other team never got any calls. We were always holding they never were. If we score a touchdown, something should have been called. Ray Lewis murdered somebody, so he should be in prison. Ray Lewis used antler spray, so he should have been suspended. Either way, the refs missed every single call possible just so we could win the superbowl. Chris Culliver never bumped anybody, that's just Torrey flopping. Crabtree was not even touching Jimmy, Jimmy just shoved him out of frustration. Those refs should be fired for their performance. The Niners should have won the superbowl. Commish Roger just sets up everything every year, which is why other teams never win the superbowl. Oh, forgot to mention, I'm a 49ers fan. I'm not mocking anybody, I'm just always right about everything, so don't doubt me. I'm a 49ers fan. JUST KIDDING. Happy July Fools, I invented a new holiday.

It seems that 90% of them are written by someone who just takes an extreme position to one side and more than likely doesn't have any personal conviction behind besides "more page clicks" Twitter and Yahoo for news, SAS for opinions. Most of you guys aren't gimmick accounts.

Aside from dose of homer-ism we don't have an agenda of page views or anything else. It's harder to make fun of something effectively if you don't have the facts.
