Around the NFL: NFL Offseason

Aw shit here we go.

The problem is that the science is emphatic. Mean Black IQ is about 1.1 standard deviations below the Caucasian mean. This is measure of central tendency for aggregates, not specific individuals, and everyone deserves equal civil rights regardless of IQ. Given that IQ scaling has an overall mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15, this means (no lame pun intended) that mean Black IQ is about 83. Mean Caucasian IQ is 100, Asian about 105-107 (variation in different countries). This data reflects innate genetic differences in IQ of different races. I don't like these results, but they are hard science, which the liberal demonization like cultural bias cannot explain (tests have been given in every nation on Earth for over a century with same results EVERY time).

Science can be a harsh mistress. You don't always like the results. In this case, there isn't some big bad racist conspiracy, but rather a scientific attempt to help determine the cognitive decline players suffer from playing in the NFL. Without adjusting for race differences in IQ, this is impossible. When you assume higher IQs than actually exist for Blacks, to satisfy a pre-existing political philosophy, thereby ignoring basic science, you prevent identification of cognitive harm to black players. On the one hand, you don't want any NFL player not to receive help for the obvious and scientifically documented brain injury the sport causes, on the other hand, maybe people who ignore such obvious science, acting like 16th century mystics, deserve what they ask for. . .

Dude just no. No no no

Erase this

Hard to believe it took this long to accomplish this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/31554110/nfl-halt-race-norming-review-black-claims-1-billion-concussion-settlement%3fplatform=amp

To be honest I’ve never heard of the practice until this past week, but obviously this isn’t right.

Julio traded to Titans…pending per ESPN. Wow

For a 2nd a 4th.

Like it for both.

Chico , this question is to you, how is that Haskins guy working out for you?


It's very possible that Haskins will have been the better pick. If the Giants give Danny a big 2nd contract and he continues to be terrible, the Redskins will have been better off drafting a bum that they never paid any real money.

Julio traded to Titans…pending per ESPN. WowNice boost to the Titans offense but they still have a weak defense so I am not sure if Jones will help them win more games.

Yeah I was really surprised how their defense seem to take a step back last year. But added Julio with the prime years of brown, tannehill and the best RB in the league makes a lot of sense.

Jones that year is in some ways like Jones this year, much less athletic prospect with much less upside. Haskins has some elite athletic traits, Jones had none.

Tough to determine which player is more of a waste from a long-term perspective, FitzAverage or Jones. Certainly Fitz, as we didn't waste a top-10 pick on him.

Neurologists aren't Klansmen. You have to accurately measure cognitive decline to help people. Doing so without taking racial variations in IQ into account is impossible. If mean Black IQ is 83, but we assume it is 100, and then measure it as 83 or anything close, then EVERY African American qualifies for the monetary compensation. This is of course the whole point of the absurdity. You might argue every player should qualify, and I would agree, but that was not the settlement as negotiated. You can bet your ass that the blacks paid money won't use the bogus non-normed cognitive data when receiving treatment from neurologists.

I don't ever make political posts first, but I will not stand mute while reverse racism is dressed in the sheep's clothing of equality. The superficial appearance of things PR wise often differs dramatically from science.
