Here's the fallacy in your logic: 140,000 men died and 220,000 men were wounded to cleanse the sin of slavery on that flag with their own blood.

If white folk from the south wanted those symbols to remain symbols of "heritage", they should never have allowed them to be co-opted by hate. The problem is that the majority of white folk at the time these symbols were co-opted either eagerly or silently assented with the aims of the groups using them. If these fine white folk of the time loved and respected those symbols so much, they should have thrown the KKK out on their ass and made every asshole who joined those organizations pariahs in their communities. They didn't. Now its too late to complain. Youngsters? If you like Confederate symbols and are proud of much of the heritage of the Confederacy (outside of slavery, I hope) and you want to complain about how your beloved symbol has been co-opted? Don't complain to black people. Don't complain that black folk are "oversensitive" (they're not). Take your complaints to those who are responsible. Your mom and dad... your grandfather and grandmother... your great-aunt and your great-uncle... and so on and so on. They're the one's that stood to the side, nodding their heads, and then looking the other way when your "heritage" was stolen and defiled. Edited for accuracy: And I confess that my own dear father, who I love dearly and always will, was one of those white folk I so accurately describe above.

God bless Mr. Richardson for such a generous act. And the only way we knew about it was because the recipient handling the donations decided to tell us. Not a peep from the Panthers organization about it. That's class.

BTW, anything notable about my boy Artis-Payne? Or is he struggling like a rookie?

Quality work by Igo as usual. No pie cuz you'll get fat.

Outstanding! I love this organization! And Cam wearing the soccer shin pads! lol

Like I said... Renaissance Man.

Philly trots about the globe, anthropologizing all the way... And then he hits us with this extreme, in-depth football poo? The man is a true Renaissance Man. A veritable Leonardo de Stinky.

Congrats to you, young'un. I graduated from high school 35 years ago. I don't even remember the ceremony. I remember me and 3 friends driving down to Panama City FL afterward though and getting drunk for a week lol. I was so drunk for so long, I didn't realize how badly sunburned I was. Don't try this yourself kids, be smarter than that. :P

Always possible with rookies. Wouldn't at all be surprised. Nor would I be too terribly disappointed.

All the feelz! <3!!!

​ If Ryan is such a great passer, why do the Falcons keep drafting and signing FA running backs?

​ I bet it was nice to have Julio Jones, Roddy White, Harry Douglas, and the best TE in NFL history to throw to all those years. Instead of, you know, a selfish pass-the-ball-to-me-me-me-and-only-me Steve Smith, Brandon Lafell, Legedu Naanee, Armanti Edwards, Joe Adams, Kealoha Pilares, Louis Murphy, Ted Ginn, Jerricho Cotchery, Jason Avant, Corey Brown, and Brenton Bersin. Oh, and yes, at least he had Greg Olsen and Kelvin Benjamin (for just last year) around too.

​In that case, you're asking the media to throw away EVERY ONE of their pre-conceived biases with regard to both Luck and Newton. Do you really think they'd ever do that?

I love me some Cam Newton, *BUT* I still think he's only worth a 5-year, $75 million contract with only $30 million guaranteed, smdh. LOL... just wanted to hear that famous Cam-But refrain again. Cam-But'ters be cray cray.

​ I did check one Twitter feed... https://twitter.com/89SteveSmith *crickets*

​ Kawann's contract is a 4 year contract, Star's is 4 with the team option. KK will have to be taken care of before Star, actually. Unless we choose not to use the 5th year option, which would be crazy.

​ Well, if it includes 2015 and runs through 2020, that's a 6 year contract.

​ If Dennis is happy, then I'm happy.

The only two MAJOR worries I have about this team right now are named Ron Rivera and Mike Shula. Is Ron going to continue to settle for FG's again this year? Or is he finally going to have the courage to take advantage of the special tools his offensive players make available to him? And will Mike Shula have an Awakening? Will he see Healthy Cam, Healthy Thor, Healthy Benji, Healthy Stew, and Baby Funch and CAP and understand what he has available to him? Its right there in front of him? Will he see it? Or is the Shula Way too ingrained in him?

I don't know if he did in JUCO or not, but I'm pretty sure CAP wasn't part of the return game at Auburn.

Confidence level: 100% Why not? What are people afraid? That they're expectations will be crushed and they'll need psychiatric treatment for depression? Be a goddam fan and hope/wish/desire for the best! Wait... I forgot... some "fans" prefer to be "real". And then when success does occur, they grab on to that caboose.

This is the moment I trade him to the Cleveland Browns for a 7th round pick and a basket of footballs.

Phil Simms was so important to the NYG that they won a Super Bowl with Jeff Hostetler as QB in 1990. Thats just HOW GOOD a QB he was.
