They absolutely don't get a pass for saying stupid poo poo. This is borne of SJW hand wringing.

Also Mercator persists because it was the most useful map for exploration (preserved direction and shape, and you could only preserve 2 out of direction, shape or size) and it's easier to just keep using the same map because it was the map everyone already had.

It's stupid no matter who says it.

Have you never read Walter Football? It's basically just a dude who writes about football with limited expertise disguised by his willingness to talk like he watches every college and NFL game well enough to scout/grade players. So basically a goon.

He makes a lot of dumb statements but as far as draft analysis goes I can actually appreciate the guy who you're named after. Just because of that one time the Jags or someone drafted some kid in the 2nd round and everyone sitting at the table had no clue who he was. Not like they were just wrong about what type of player he was, they had no idea a person by that name existed. Then they go to Kiper and he gives a full breakdown of the guy.

He's an idiot but damned if he doesn't at least do his best to be prepared.
