  1. or we could just have some really, really nasty downfield-blocking offensive guards... where might we find such a duo
  2. i guess we couldn't statistically expect to have this conversation without some idiot running in and defending the flag of american apartheid
  3. "states rights" is a euphemism. the CSA was trying to drum up support from foreign nations and realized that everyone was gagging over their disgusting slavery agenda, so they repackaged it as "states rights" to make it more palatable to any european powers willing to fight a proxy war against america.
  4. ftr the battle flag was pretty much a forgotten relic of the war until the KKK picked it up in the 1950s and 60s as a political symbol of their opposition to desegregation. this poo should've been buried half a century ago.
  5. there are some interesting parallels to this argument and the argument for changing the redskins' name, it's worth noting
  6. Prompted by a welling of support for the removal of the Confederate flag from South Carolina's capitol grounds, the Carolina Panthers issued a statement condemning the flag's presence one of the states it represents. The Observer reports: Like any organization sitting under public scrutiny from a variety of sources, the Panthers have been careful about staking any position on social issues, and it's no surprise they waited until the clamor grew to a crescendo before denouncing the flag, but it's a huge move. Something this wouldn't happen without Jerry Richardson signing off on it, and he's done exactly that on top of donating $100k to the survivors' families a few days previously. Cornerback Josh Norman weighed in too, as a long-time South Carolina citizen: Re
  7. did steve smith used to sit out OTAs or am i remembering wrong?
  8. how does that compare to most years?
  9. you telling me he couldn't go for the v.s.o.p?
  10. awesome gesture. and not even just a gesture... funerals are expensive and this does something tangible and significant for each person affected. well done JR
  11. i think i made out drew brees in the background there. better take action
  12. reminds me of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6whELudEPA
  13. i wouldn't mind cotchery's marginal production if he didn't do stuff like pull up short on routes in playoff games. young guys can learn from a slow but savvy vet, but imo he seems mistake-prone without any of the athletic ability or youth to make up for it.
  14. what the hell happened to klein, anyway? he had a damn good 2013 campaign and looked like the future of the position over chase blackburn.
  15. i would personally hate to see joe webb lose a position on the team over cotchery. if we're down to our sixth receiver we're boned anyway, and he provides a useful special teams option and an emergency quarterback who fits our offensive scheme.
  16. one advantage of drafting well is you have a lot of talent on your team, and therefore a lot of competition. this breeds chippy practices. i hope this is a sign of things to come in training camp, especially with rivera being notoriously lackluster when it comes to developing attitude and intensity in the camp itself. it's a shame to see poo-pooing the fight, and i hope that's just coachspeak for the media.
