Around the NFL 2013 Offseason (Episode 99)

That's a nifty post.

I agree...lets stop teaching it...EVERYONE.

They're a disgrace. Hideous.




Although I think the Riley Cooper comment is being blown WAYYYYYYY out of proportion, mainly by the media...I'm loving the chaos and divided locker room. LeSean McCoy claims he can't play alongside Cooper any more. Mike Vick of all people is making the most sense in that situation...never thought I'd agree with him on anything.

How much do you want to bet that word gets used 100 times every day in that locker room...but of course, only by certain players. If we're going to ruin Cooper and Paula Deen, we need to line the news trucks up at Chris Rock and Al Sharpton's houses too. Punishing the offenders won't help race relations while maintaining the double-standard. If white people are going to be tarred and feathered for the word, lets stop using it completely. All of us.



Anyway, Eagles going 3-13 this year...calling it.

Deion Sanders had some comments about Riley Cooper on the NFL Network this weekend that I agree with 100%. He said black people use the N word all the time when they talk to each other and call each other that word. They also use it in their songs, but the second some other race uses it, its like Watch Out!!! Then he said, "Who is racist?" Yep, that's what I'm asking. We live in a waaaay tooo politically correct world. Yes, we should all be sensitive to the things we say, but people need to grow thicker skins as well. Deion also ask the question "How many of us would want a camera on in our homes all the time for the stuff we say?"

^ Yes, seriously...he said a bad word, while drunk.

Where is the public outcry for the real criminals? This offseason:

Andre Smith and Da-Quan Bowers both took a gun into an airport.

Jay Ratliff put everyone in danger by driving drunk. His temmate killed someone that way.

Michael Boley was arrested for child abuse.

Amari Spivey beat up his girlfriend over child support, with the kid there.

Dez Bryant was arrested for beating his own mother.

Titus Young drove drunk THEN tried to steal his car back from the impound lot. He was also arrested for burglary, resisting arrest and assaulting a cop.

Pacman Jones...another one, this time assault.

Jason Peters, Mr. Fast and Furious street racer...going to kill someone like that, man.

Aaron Hernendez didn't incite as much emotion and he likely killed anywhere from one to three people...or more. But no...we need to force his guy out of the NFL for saying a racist word at a concert.

I hate the racist word too, but we need to keep some perspective, it is just a word...one that seems to be accepted by those it's supposed to offend.

1. Coopers comments were way out of line regardless the color of his skin; people get murder everyday does that make it right?

2. Cooper was not in his home when he said it so he was subject to public opinion

3. If you are using Deion Sanders as the needle to your moral compass you might want recalibrate it.

It been one thing if Cooper told a off color joke with the N word in it but his comments were disturbing to say the least.

Words by themselves are not bad, they are just words. Its the context that matters. Also packers left tackle is out. Sucks for them because he had moved from right to left meaning their depth is even thinner on the line.

I thought some of his teammates had a pretty interesting observation about Cooper. They said he wasn't racist (which wasn't the interesting part) but they said the bigger concern to them (at least from how I remember it) was that Cooper often gets crazy drunk when he goes out and gets out of control

When that report came out about the team getting him some outside help, I wonder if that's more about the drinking vs. what he said.

Is there anything more than coincidence that this year's two biggest off-field episodes (Cooper, Hernandez) involve former Florida Gators gone wild?

Still a long way to go before the magic of Tebow gets cancelled out.

That's definitely true.

But I was after troublemaker Gators, not overhyped Gators. Is there something in the Gator football culture that leads to Hernandez-Cooper outcomes? I am genuinely just wondering.
