The Morgan Fogarty thing...

I didn't see it as sexist or anything.

Sitting in the front row is what reporters work for. Its a sign that you have arrived. True for white house pressers, true for any presser. JR did not ask her to sit up front because she is an attractive female. He asked her to sit up front because she had established herself as a reporter in JR's circle of trust.

Yes, other reporters threw a hissy and jumped on it as sexist. But to assume an attractive female (why is this fact even brought up by reporters) can only be asked to sit up front because of her looks is in itself sexist as hell.

Buncha idiots, the lot of em.

I agree for the most part. She may very well have deserved to sit in the front, although I can't help but wonder if he noticed she wasn't because of her hotness.

She may have also been spreading them legs, which would explain the rambling distractions, that slurring speech thing, and hitting the mic with the back of his hand repeatedly

An owner that can't be bothered to remember the names of the reporters that have worked the Panthers beat for years immediately invites one of them into his private suite and subsequently his circle of trust after she called him out on air for being cheap. And you guys think that this new found attention may be based on her looks?

*rolls eyes*

    • some of my favorite mocks i do are trading back with Indy or Miami, but not Arizona, as that lets Hotlanta pick before us.
    • Carter, Graham, and Hunter for me. Other than that I'm listening to offers. Hell, I'm listening to offers anyway. I'm not doing the Gettleman thing of submitting the pick immediately. If the phones are ringing there's no cost to listening. Maybe someone has an offer so good that I can't refuse.
    • These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl
