Re: The Ebolas
Actual sentence on the New York Times website today: If someone left blood, vomit or feces on a bowling ball, and the next person to touch it did not even notice, and then put his fingers into his eyes, nose or mouth, it might be possible. Depending upon the bowling alley, id guess that about much ...

Re: 15 years ago... (stealth UNC academic fraud discussion)
there were other athletes and students but this is driven by football. the other sports are either small enough in number of athletes or more have talent more evenly distributed among social/economic class that its less of an issue. football requires that you bring in 100 guys, probably 70-80 of whi...

Re: 15 years ago... (stealth UNC academic fraud discussion)
well, the NCAA did back off on Penn St. but mostly I cant see any similarity between ignoring academic fraud in the name of football and ignoring child molestation in the name of football.

Re: 15 years ago... (stealth UNC academic fraud discussion)
The pretty galling thing is that it (in my opinion) is almost as bad as the Penn State/Sandusky thing, yet UNC didn't really get hit with any serious penalties. You could make a legitimate case that the entire athletic department should have been shut down for at least a couple of years as a punish...

Re: 15 years ago
partly because its been strung out over the past 5 years so nothing really new. partly because its a known issue. guess what, you cant admit 100+ professional athletes and expect that they perform at a similarly high level academically. the real deal though is that a lot of large public academic ins...

So what's the deal with that guy? You must be some kind of fucked up to get dropped for less than a first rounder with his talent. Can't just be the injuries. Does he fake them? Got to be on that level to make this move.

Conceptually that makes a lot more sense than standard multi digit subtraction.

Re: NFL Week 4
Mostly right, but I don't think you blame the receivers here. Maybe blame some injuries to Gronk and Dobson but the group as a whole is above average. Edelman can get downfield some and definitely gets separation in the first 15. Dobson and Thompkins can stretch the defense enough. They do lack a tr...
