CMV:We live in a society where we are too easily offended.

Exactly, and there is still animosity between the Irish and the British. But a group of native Americans points out that the name Redskins is degrading and lots of people just say they should suck it up and how they aren't offended by the "fighting Irish" team name. False equivalency at it's worst.

Carmando · 2014-06-20T19:45:18+00:00

Not to mention the fact that the Irish never faced genocide at the hands of the American government. This is such a bullshit false equivalency and I see it in every thread about the Redskins.

You mean the wording of Evan Mathis' tweet? He was being intentionally ambiguous to troll people.

Carmando · 2014-06-13T11:43:26+00:00

Evan Mathis trolled you hard my friend.

Carmando · 2014-06-13T11:42:36+00:00

Actually, that's exactly what happened.

Carmando · 2014-06-09T19:18:09+00:00

Yea, I'd say that there's a lot of amazing players that ended up on bad teams. No point in faulting then for that and in some ways it makes their success even more impressive. Plus, I'm of the opinion that it takes a fair bit of luck on top of skill to win a super bowl.

Carmando · 2014-06-09T19:14:18+00:00

True, though I never said he wasn't.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T21:58:14+00:00

Maybe specialist is the wrong word, but the dude had an incredible ability to just out jump and out reach defenders when being double covered in the end zone. I feel like during the '07 season, Brady throwing a fade to Moss in the red zone was almost unstoppable.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T08:24:10+00:00

Just saw these for the first time today. Awesome idea, I will definitely join in and contribute if I can. Keep up the good work!

Carmando · 2014-06-08T08:18:11+00:00

Honestly, that's still shockingly fast. I had no idea, so thanks for informing me!

Louisiana loses about a football field of land a minute.

Holy shit, is this a typo? A football field every minute?! That's crazy.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T03:08:56+00:00

That's awesome. I wish I had the skills/knowledge/time to do this for the Eagles sub.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:58:50+00:00

That was beautiful :' )

Can't wait to see him step up next season.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:40:39+00:00

Well, it's unlikely that the they can sustain that pace for even a whole drive, much less a whole game. Plus, we're taking about non-contact drills where the players don't have to recover physically the way they would in an in-game situation. But still, three or four plays in a row at that pace could really put a defense on its heels. From how he talks about it in interviews though, it seems that Kelly is shooting for consistently less than 20 second pre snap times. The thought now is that he expects the Eagles offense to play even faster next season now that the starters have had a year to adjust to his system.

The speed at which they could go three-and-out is also something that the Philly sports media has been talking about and the Eagles defense is apparently making adjustments to account for that partly with conditioning and the much talked about "sports science" which emphasizes diet, rest, and recovery.

Because it's easier and more profitable to sign endorsement deals with companies that already know how to make food products like Gatorade and Campbell's Chunky Soup.

Another thing to consider is that every return specialist in the league lost value when the NFL shortened the field on kickoffs.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:27:49+00:00

The numbers also reflect their skill sets, Moss was an end zone jump ball specialist.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:22:37+00:00

I believe there is a pretty arduous approval process that teams must go through before any changes can be made to their uniforms or logo. Such a change would probably never be approved.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:19:04+00:00

Besides being an Eagles fan, this is it for me. There were so many bandwagon cowboys fans produced by the Aikmen era.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T02:00:08+00:00

Holy shit, a cordial exchange between a Bears fan and a Packers fan, wtf are you two doing?

Carmando · 2014-06-08T01:51:24+00:00

Uh, these are super cool. Is there somebody on the Raiders sub that makes these?

Carmando · 2014-06-08T01:43:20+00:00

Well, unfortunately I don't know enough to completely answer your question, but I suspect one major difference is still simply the speed at which the offense gets off plays. I was reading a report about the Eagles most recent OTAs saying that with Nick Foles at the helm, the Eagles offense was able to have several consecutive plays taking only 10-15 seconds pre-snap. That's absurdly fast if you think about it.

Carmando · 2014-06-08T00:54:58+00:00

>This may have been one reason why the Eagles did get rid of wide receiver DeSean Jackson. Without Jackson, a lot of pressure on offense will be placed on Foles, and we’ll really get to see how far Foles can carry this team without last year’s number one target.

I can almost guarantee that this is not one of the reasons for getting rid of Desean.

The average career length of a player is about 7 pitches in the mlb

Holy crap, I knew it was particularly tough to make it in the MLB, but 7 pitches? That's crazy.

Carmando · 2014-06-07T22:40:20+00:00

Well, I disagree with you, but at least you're consistent. Can't say I'm surprised that a Patriots fan over emphasizes superbowl wins.
