So, I found out today that the MLB's policy on weed is:

:shrug: we don't test for it. Just follow local laws.

How the gently caress does the sport of old farts and unwritten rules care less about weed than the NFL?

Way higher percentage of white players.

It's fun to read about because it turns out like every NFL QB had personal trainers and coaches from the time they could tie their shoes, which also tends to be why they have the personality of a doorknob.

This made me look up the article on Todd Marinovich, which is still a good read.

Pat McAfee had Richie Incognito on his podcast today and they talked about Jonathan Martin's instragram gun post:

quote:

"I was in the gun vault in my house like ooh which one am I gonna shoot him with? I grabbed the .45 I was up on my roof with a .308 waiting. I'm one of those crazy people in Arizona that clings to their 2nd amendment rights."

So you know, still making sure that you don't forgets what a knob he is.

Am I reading that right? If you're rolling out and don't set up and throw on the run you aren't defenseless but if you set up again you are?

That seems...incorrect.

I must win every thread in GBS. I don't care how much banal semantic quibbling and shitty posts it takes.
The type of hit Rodgers took should be taken out of the game. He no longer had the ball, and Barr needlessly landed on him with all of his weight. I know it's a touchy subject, but the game needs to move away from the "play through the whistle" mentality where guys hit guys because they're narrowly allowed to in the rules rather than actually making a play.

I don't think the Packers are going to suffer a huge amount by having let Jordy go. They've got way too many young receivers that they need to develop. Rodgers made James Jones the TD leader in a year he was a castoff nobody.

Lmao Rodgers used to fake running out of bounds so defenders would pull up.

this is the hit right?

what a weird play to start a gigantic rule change on. he doesn't drive him into the ground, he wraps up, the initial hit isn't extraordinarily violent, he only takes 2 steps, and as far as i can tell he landed on his funny bone

Crossposting from the Madden thread:

Kaepernick’s name was edited out of a song used in Madden 19 as if he was a curse word.

quote:

The song, “Big Bank” by YG featuring 2 Chainz, Big Sean and Nicki Minaj, is one of several songs featured on “Madden 19.” In the song, Big Sean raps the following lyrics:

quote:

Feed me to the wolves now I lead the pack and s***
You boys all cap, I’m more Colin Kaepernick

In these words, Big Sean expresses his admiration for Kaepernick as someone who is focused on being true to himself instead of playing up his accomplishments, as explained by genius.com. Furthermore, Kaepernick connects back to the previous line. He led the Nevada Wolf Pack as the starting quarterback from 2007-2010. He holds program records for both passing touchdowns and rushing touchdowns.

ProFootballTalk confirmed that Kaepernick’s name was omitted in an advance copy of the game, just as all the other words deemed too profane for a game rated “E” for everyone.
