There's someone here who will debate this tomorrow. I'll wait... :corn:

Pretty shocking that a guy like Cutler is the one who said something that makes the most sense about all this concussion stuff.
No we wouldn't want to think about the sport we love :nono: . We've already had a million arguments about "free will" and some of you see it as being nearly true, and some of us don't. I generally do like Cutler but would say that it's easier for someone to say what he said coming from Santa Claus, Indiana, with a median income of 61k (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santa_Claus,_Indiana), and a private school education from Vanderbilt than some other players in the league. I think the really interesting part is to see how fractured the players themselves are on this with Toomer and Cutler arguing against Uminyera (sp) and Warner.
There's also 0 poverty in Santa Claus it really is a magical place...they must forcibly move the poor to Krampus, Indiana. I wasn't making any arguments 81 that's probably why you are confused...All I said was it's generally easier to think that an individual has free will to do whatever it is they please when they come from a privileged class background. So Toomer (who came from an even more privileged background) and Cutler making these arguments isn't surprising. It's also not surprising that Warner, who worked as a grocery stocker under gods orders, has a different outlook on things. Wasn't Osi a rich kid though? Maybe it was his "liberal educators" at Notre Dame (haahahahaha) that got him to think differently.
i'm confused because i thought rich people weren't suppose to play football, that it was a poor man's game?
It's not that they aren't supposed to play football, they just have more important things to do like preserve their health and exploit the poor. Apparently this is all determined in college.

You write that in jest but seriously the numbers back me up so much on this that it's not even funny. Acontextual free will the great american fallacy...

I saw this yesterday and don't get the Deadspin response. The dude was undrafted, he probably would have been on a practice squad bashing his head in for 2 years then hoping to go to law school, hopefully with no more head injuries and no long term damage. I say good for him.

practice squad if he is lucky....he was camp filler. although, it would be tempting to take the signing bonus, no matter how small. get cut before school begins in the fall...have beer money

Now that's a plan, of course you would have to spend your summer in Cleveland :think: Plus you could then tell chicks at the bar that you play in the NFL.

All the world will be your enemy, Prince with a thousand enemies, and whenever they catch you, they will kill you. But first they must catch you, digger, listener, runner, prince with the swift warning. Be cunning and full of tricks and your people shall never be destroyed.
