I agree with you to a point, as well. But Gleason was put in that horrible spot not by Pamphilon's release of the tape, but by the fact that Gleason heard those pro-injury comments and did nothing. Just like everyone else. I don't understand how the documentarian gets the attention and Gleason--and tons of other people--skate off without any scrutiny.

Gleason is campaigning to raise awareness of a disease, should he really risk his reputation just to save a few pussies some mild concussions? Gleason shouldn't have to put his work in jeopardy just to keep a few people from being dinged up in a contact sport.

This. I personally don't expect to be rewarded for not doing a negative action. You deserve praise when you go above and beyond being a human being. Could you imagine a Something Awful where E/N lavishes you with praise because " This week I did not put a child beneath a guillotine."

I think his analogy is the worst.

quote:

Let's put this Matt Forte dilemma into a different perspective.

Say you are a young chef doing a stint at a very successful restaurant, working for one of the greatest chefs in the world. Now the restaurant isn't yours and you aren't the head chef, but you are at the sous level. The plates you create begin to get recognized around the country and you are being called one of the nation's best young chefs -- one most other five-star restaurants would kill to have in their kitchens. You're career is beginning to buzz.

[+] Enlarge
AP Photo/Matt SlocumThe Bears are using Matt Forte's heavy workload against him in contract negotiations.
Say the restaurant at which you work recognizes your talent, but doesn't honor it. The owner, perhaps the chef whose name is on the establishment, doesn't necessarily want you to leave, but he's not giving you any reasons to stay. You have options and are in demand. So you leave. Time to test the market.

Say you then open your own restaurant, and within a few years, you get the James Beard Foundation Award as the best chef in America and after that your restaurant is voted the best restaurant in America by Gourmet, Food and Wine and Travel and Leisure magazines.

"Matt Forte isn't being paid by the Bears. So he... should... start his own football team?"

Even the conclusion of the hypothetical is a hypothetical conclusion! My brain hurts!

Also, yes, Matt Forte has to go down to the bank and get a $100 billion loan to get his own football team.

Have you ever listened to someone who is so smart they sounds insane and or stupid? I think Gruden is suffering from some weird information overload so that he spits out gibberish instead of the million thoughts he just processed. Plus American football viewers are stupid.

Same here. I'd like to once again share this excellent article on how the read option may be handled by NFL teams this year. They interviewed the Stanford defensive coordinator responsible for shutting down Oregon, even though not one of his players was drafted. It is very interesting reading how a bunch of scrubs stopped the best offense in college football. (Eat a dick, Aggie.)

Probably. But that would also require that team to have a line that wouldn't kill every quarterback in the league, which it didn't. And with Kolb gone I think they were the worst in the league last year.

There's also a thread on Stormfront talking about the BSSOTKK (Black Secret Society of the Klu Klux Klan).

I suspect that these anecdotes may, just may not be rooted in truths.

I remember when I was in 6th or 7th grade, about 11 years ago, I was doing a report on the KKK so I decided to visit their website. It was covered with horrible clipart of black and white rainbows and a ridiculous screed about the KKK's agenda. You see, their goal wasn't to get rid of black people, it was to keep races pure by not mixing, just like god intends. The grey scale rainbows symbolized this, as they did not mix colors. In the middle of the page was a smiling old black man, supposedly a member of theirs. The caption below the picture was a description of how he joined the KKK because he too wanted the races separate, and did not believe whites and blacks should marry.
