You could make a contest rewarding someone who actually found an intelligent comment at Caste Football. It would also be a great honeypot for taking out a bunch of closet racists.

On topic: Barry Sanders' father died earlier this week. A poster on Pride of Detroit feels this is the right time to get something off his chest:

quote:

Actually yeah, this is the place for it.

Call me insensitive if you want but he lived to a ripe old age of 74, he had a lot to do with Barry retiring early, and It’s not like Barry himself is going to read these. and even if he does, I’m still sore at how his old man had to have his say on a lot about Barry’s retiring. . .In case you were not around it burned a lot of bridges the way Sr. kept dangling a lot of fans around with all the comments he made back then about how he acted like he alone could bring barry back, and then because he couldn’t force Ford Sr. to buckle to his will he made it sound back then that he talked Barry into actually retiring. So yeah I still have many issues and now he is gone, so a comment like that is and should be expected.

I'm pleased to report that most MSU fans I can find online don't condone Dion Sims' actions or Dantonio bringing him back on the team. There are a few though, this one coming from MLive:

quote:

This crime is sorta in the same catagory as a first DUI or simple drug possession; a lot of college students do it.


I knew plenty of kids who drank or did weed. Never knew anyone doing stuff like playing a part in a $150k+ fraud against Detroit Public Schools. Maybe I'm sheltered.

Also from the same post:

quote:

Statistics don't lie; if you are an MSU football player, you have approximately a 15 percent chance of pleading guilty to at least one misdemeanor or a felony during your four to five years at MSU.

Not downplaying the institutional trouble here, but I don't think stats work like that.

I'm pretty sure Caste football posters are fine with owning black players.

Besides fantasy football is all about flashy stats, not doing what actually wins football games. :v:

There were a couple of NCAA teams that had Native American-themed names that were forced to change even though nearby tribes were cool with the names. That some of the white people who jumped in and started demanding the change seemed to have such a paternal mentality, that this minority population had to be convinced that they were being offended for their own good, seemed more offensive than the name itself.

In all fairness, this is the first year in forever where I remember seeing people wearing Lions gear in non-local advertisements.

Oh and one more thing. Peyton may have switched teams and coaches, which goes to add to his personal resume and ability. People say Tom's a system quarterback with a HOF coach and that helped him...but let's be honest. Doesn't the Denver Broncos offense look EXACTLY like Peyton Manning's offense in Indy?

:staredog: System QB has had a number of (bad, dumb) definitions, but never one like "a QB who implements his own system and lets the coach and OC play along."

Dantonio and Izzo are both consistently successful, they've been loyal to MSU, and they have similar popular perceptions for being ethical, hard-working, and distinctly Midwestern. It seems like a number of the same components that helped (a portion of) PSU's fans go full retard for Paterno are present at MSU. I think any fan for a program that has been or currently is successful can find similar reasons to be worried about their respective fanbases.

There's no conversation that gets into dogwhistling faster than discussing QBs scrambling versus staying in the pocket.

Morby posted:

I do sorta love it when people :qq: about Kaepernick. Dude has gotten them so far into the post season both seasons he's been with the 49ers after taking over for Smith. A lot of teams would be glad to have him at QB.

Meanwhile, Stafford catches almost no grief for accomplishing a lot less with more talent around him.

By us, sure. He's only recently begun to catch grief from the general public, that I've seen at least, and what's there isn't even a tenth of the poo poo that Kaepernick or Newton have taken for how they play or who they are.

It's silly to act like a player's personal life doesn't affect their on-field performance but it's equally silly to try and go the other way and diagnose personal life issues from on the field play.

The only tiny silver lining you could take from that line of reasoning popping up more and more is that maybe fans are thinking more about athletes as being human beings. Probably not, but you can hope.

Exactly. So many choose to blame housekeeping for how they failed to properly scrub the toilet when in fact they are simply cleaning up the nasty dump of someone who was unable to control themselves. Heaven forbid blame be placed with the perpetrator.

Can't bring myself to be that emotionally invested when I can't prove that crimes aren't being covered up and that we don't have administrators/ fans who will circle the wagons to protect their primary source of income/self-worth at the cost of basic human decency.
