RE: Chris Rainey getting cut for messing with a fire extinguisher while Jim Irsay doesn't get suspended for his DUI/bag of drugs A DUI/OWI is not really a big deal unless you actually affect someone's life through it (death/disability). Get off it people. I've had 2 DUI's; should I be ostracized by the community? F--- no. Playing with a fire ex is dangerous for the person, but also indirectly for the prevention of fire. Plus, he sucked as a football player. Irsay is a great owner.

Not a football post but this is something some on said to me yesterday: "Look, one guy lost his mind for a split second. He hit his wife. It happens. The other guy decided to smoke pot, found a dealer, went to him, exchanged money for the pot, went to the store and bought papers or a bong or whatever, loaded up the pot, lit it and decided to smoke it. Probably repeatedly. He made a series of decisions, the other guy just lost his cool for one second. The suspensions make sense."

FeedingHam2Cats posted:I'm less "people who drink and drive are HIIITLER" than a lot of people since cops are dicks and the current legal limit is in place for political reasons rather than particularly strong evidence pointing to serious impairment at .08 BAC or whatever Also if we're being honest, most people at some point in their lives have gone to a party or a happy hour or whatever and they've made a questionable decision to drive home. It's possible they weren't even over the limit, but it's definitely possible they were. They didn't get pulled over and they didn't have a wreck. The next day they probably vowed not to do that again, and they may or may not have kept that vow. It's not an OK thing to do, and it should definitely have legal consequences, but at least in borderline cases it probably shouldn't get someone labeled as a horrible monster. e: Driving shitfaced drunk is obviously different, and should carry a more serious social stigma along with the legal consequences.

Ok back on topic I just read this amazing post explaining why Charlie Strong is going to leave Texas for Florida if Muschamp gets fired.quote:espn. they go to him and say, 'come on, charlie. let's be reasonable. you want to be a huge success and the bell cow that ushers in the era of the african head coaches. we want that, too, and we can help you more than you can imagine if you'll only play ball with us and go where we tell you to go. if you stay where you are, you'll have to fight us the whole way, and we can make things difficult for you. you play ball with us and you are assured of success. you fight us, and we limit your success. don't you owe it to that next generation to do the smart thing?'

If you've never heard of a big 3-down RB referred to as "the bell-cow back" you're doing good, because it means you're probably not listening to football news. That being said, are you sure you follow football?

I could hear this expression 500 times a day for the rest of my life and it would never cross my mind there was anything racial about it. I swear sometimes I think people wake up in the morning determined to find something new which is offensive to them before the day ends.

Yeah it's kind of like how defensive linemen used to have nothing but paws. You'd never hear about someone getting their hand on a pass, it was always a big paw for some reason. Also I've heard lots of stuff in regular life referred to as a bell cow something. Not terribly often, but not super rare either. Like, a company's best product, a person in a certain group, college programs. Maybe it's used more often in different parts of the country or something?
