Seminoles aren't even strictly Native Americans anyhow. It's not a nation. It's some Creek and some others and some runaway slaves and I'm pretty sure some Spanish Floridians that really didn't like England owning Florida.

The NFL really is missing an opportunity on the coaches not wearing suits. A whole line of branded suits and formal wear! Imagine how many crested blazers you could sell to idiots.

Mel Mudkiper posted:There has to be an argument for why banning taunting is a good idea because the end result of doing nothing is the allowance of taunting. If you allow guys that are aggressive and seem to have pretty poor impulse control to overly berate each other, someone's going to get neck punched on the field. It's easier to just make it against the rules than to constantly pull guys off of each other. Somehow making it against the rules does seem to mitigate a lot of the shoving and worse that would be happening. Can you imagine how much time would be wasted in Steelers-Ravens games if you allowed taunting then had to stop all the fights? Look how often they have to break guys up now!

pangstrom posted:Well, if a generation is 25 years and there are 15-ish positions in football (excluding special teams) you should see them at least every few years. Then why is there a new once a generation quarterback every other year? Who is the once a generation QB from 1970 to 1995? Brady? Manning (either)? Tebow? Manziel? Brees? One of like seeming 30 other QBs?

OctoberBlues posted:(why exactly it would, I do not know) I think if you take something you love and make it your job, even if it is something fun, it would eventually suck all the joy out of it. I mean, I've known pilots that loved flying a plane they rented or when they were in the military that loathed the idea of becoming an airline pilot and flying a bus on the same route over and over again even if it meant they'd get paid to do what they love (fly a plane). I'm pretty sure I'd turn down an offer to be paid to write about PSU football because I'd never be able to just watch a game again. Sportswriters drive me nuts because they talk about how awesome their job is, but they have one of those jobs that if it just stopped existing tomorrow, greater civilization would never notice.

There's not really another thread that's football specific for this sort of thing, so I'll use this one. I got watching Ken Burns Baseball on Netflix and found it very entertaining until it got into the late 40s and just turned into stuff I already knew about the sport. I really enjoyed the early days and came to be better understand how much more of a cultural force baseball was (I'd definitely underestimated it as "most popular sport" not "BASEBALL IS LIFE"). Is there any sort of football type documentary out there that covers the first, say, hundred years of the sport?

Ribsauce posted:I wonder which type of "reporting" has a higher percent of anonymous quotes, political reporting or sports reporting. It is amazing how both forms of "journalism" will create entire narratives without a single person going on record. It also tickles me because it doesn't even matter. If you're at Defense, State, or Homeland Security and they don't say "unnamed source," that source can end up in jail for a while. If you're at the Steelers and they name your name, ...well "unnamed sources say Ben Roethlisberger was grouchy because he stubbed his toe on a door frame" doesn't mean poo poo.

ought ten posted:If you're taking the piss I apologize, but we have entire government agencies dedicated to minimizing risk for workers, whereas the NFL has Goodell saying "Don't worry moms I promise we're doing our very best to keep their brains in one piece" and shills like Florio saying "Don't be a pussy, pussy" so I'm not really sure it's the same thing. Those dangerous jobs have people that claim OSHA just gets in their way and do call people pussies for wanting to do things the safe way. Because people are idiots. I remember hearing a railroad conductor in a bar back home griping that they have to stop the train to get on and off when they used to be able to just grab onto the railing and swing on. Too many guys slipped and got legs cut off so now you can't do that. Seems reasonable to me. But to him it was just BIG GOVERNMENT slowing him down at work.

In, like, fifth grade, one of the popular kids in my class had to move away for six months because his parents were having trouble. When he came back, we asked him what the other school was like. I will never forget his response. "They were weird. They liked Sega."
