I realized last night that America just isn't ready. For what you say? It's just not ready. It's not done yet. Put it back in the oven. Gen-Y, I realized, is going to totally reshape this country once the baby boomers are dead. We've started. We've made strides. But it's not there yet.

Last night on Lavar Arrington's radio show here in D.C. they were talking about some NFL players who want to come out of the closet. Without missing a beat, Christy McSweartogodimnotahomophobe calls in. Teach Confucius! "Derr, Alabamma! HIV is still a huge problem in the gay community! There's blood being spilled on the field! It puts players at risk if players are gay!"

Of course. Because the NFL doesn't have HIV testing [it does] and because if they're gay they have HIV [they don't], and because making it acceptable to be gay in the NFL will meant that the league will suddenly be flooded with HIV positive homosexuals [it won't] and because HIV isn't also a huge problem is poor black communities, where the majority of NFL players come from [it is]. No the first thing this cat thought of at the mere mention of homosexuality was "HIV."

It was at that moment that I realized we're just not ready.

But that's not news. I think you're missing the big issue. Reality TV shows are actually (if it was possible) getting worse.. They say the NFL is a copycat league. Television is a copycat media:

Singing shows are popular? Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

Chopped is getting good ratings on the Food Network. Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

Millionaire Matchmaker is hot on Bravo? Let's make another one. Except in a big arena, with celebrity judges.

I can't wait til Netflix fills the decrepit old ***** called TV with hot lead and puts it out of its misery.

well, then don't think about it!!!! at the same time, I don't understand why so many people feel the need to fight against it, but that's just me.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
