I think it's also possible that you are missing the point. It's reasonable to think the Pats feel Tebow has some raw skills that they'd like to explore or develop - I don't think anyone has denied Tebow's arm strength or general athleticism. Based on the coaching staff in New England, including...

A similar study is "Are Emily and Greg More Employable than Lakisha and Jamal?" We all have biases and these may be driving the wedge we see in NFL hiring choices. But consider:1. Would such biases change or disappear with mandated discrimination polices (i.e., Rooney Rule)? On the one hand...

:goodposting: And even when Flutie led the Bills to the playoffs in 1999 he didn't even start! Kurt Warner was also not given a shot to start in ARZ until his third year on the team. He's too old. It was always Leinart's team - the organization was committed to him. Square peg, round hole...

The real question, it seems, is whether Rod Smith is a first ballot Hall of Famer?Player........ Yrs...Rec...100Rec...Yds...1000Yd...TD...10TD...Rec/g...Yds/g...TD/g...SB Wins...Probowls Hines Ward...

Benching Lloyd in favor of Austin, Stevie, and Steve Smith. Would start him if I didn't have another good option. 6/60 with a decent shot at a TD.

A lot of people who call themselves a Christian are not, or don't live any different than anyone else. I don't think he brings to mind Kurt Warner.

We give 4 points for a sack (among other differences).

It should also be noted that TO has one of the best football IQs for a wide receiver. He's very intelligent in picking up scheme and would make a quick transition into most offenses. Whether GM's want the clubhouse "risk" that he's developed a reputation for - fairly or unfairly - remains to be...

If people want to get together and organize to create a single bargaining group, then the capitalist system allows for it. Likewise, the NFL is part of our market for entertainment and has to compete against others for our money. If the NFL, or our home team, doesn't do a good job, people go...

I thought rich people were always rich, and poor people were always poor. This doesn't make any sense. Oh that's right, owners of NFL teams are a different breed of rich. They didn't do anything to make their money and they never lose money. Got it.

The cruel irony is that the vast, vast majority of these laws don't improve competition or help consumers at all. Rather, they are used as a tool by the regulated to prevent/insulate themselves from competition. If they don't want to pay players what they are worth, they should be free to do so...

These are some preliminary problems with the above analysis that, taken as a whole or individually, should dismiss the merits of its "compelling" conclusions:1. The object of baseball is more than just "winning a game".. but to win more games than your immediate competition (i.e. division...
