Indeed

[EdnaMode]

Agreed.

[jimmygrace]

Buh-bye, Deandre! If you think you’re pickin cotton as Jesse Jackson says, then by all means, take your proud black ass out of there! There are a lot of guys who would love to pick NFL cotton.

[MichaelCorleone]

Yeah, I guess you’re right.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Players are so dumb they can’t comprehend a figure of speech.

[SaraJohnson]

If he had said a mental institution instead of prison, it would have been okay.

But it is true that the players should not be running the show. They are too prissy and dumb. They look great in pussy hats.

[Terry Mross]

If McNair had a pair he’d tell them if they remove the decals they’re no longer on the team. IF .

[dfwgator]

McNair really botched his metaphores, and landed himself in heap big trouble.

"Error" McNair.

[Kazan]

Yeah, how fast can you reconstitute a team if, say, 50% walk out?

Counting practice squad players and released players that had been on the team, there probably be enough players left to field a team.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Hmm ... blacks have feminine attitudes because most come from single baby-mom households with no fathers (and no genuine self respect)??

Worth considering.

[Disestablishmentarian]

Prisons are the new asylums, so his remark was perfectly accurate as updated vernacular.

[dennisw]

Andre wuz disrespekkted!! I like how these black power guys have all these billionaire NFL bosses walking around on eggshells. Dance whitey dance!

[dennisw]

It is the feminist thing to do - and most blacks are raised without fathers, and have heavy feminine attitudes - hence the emotionalism, complaining, worried about what others think, focused on appearance, always talking about disrespect.

It's loony toon paranoia about being disrespected that I notice the most. Its hilarious and dumb so party on you kneeling football players. You look like idiots to the rest of America.

[Sans-Culotte]

At least Houstonians still have the Astros to root for.

This Houstonion is a huge Astros fan. The NFL is dead to me.

[Nothingburger]

The only way to fix the NFL is a massive influx of non-AA talent. Not that this is going to happen but ...

I have found in most of life’s endeavors that you get a lot farther with a group of people who are responsible and committed to the mission. Yes, talent plays a role, but an ounce of discipline is often worth a pound of talent.

Whether in the workplace or on the playing field, a team of crybabies and prima donnas is always going to be dysfunctional.

Unfortunately, we can’t clone Jordy Nelson or Rob Gronkowski.

[databoss]

Couldn’t agree more...boom! Give PC idiots some cake and they crap on it and throw it on your best couch.

[RightGeek]

Good walk out. McNair will have to sell the team now.

Selling now would be a smart move. The value of NFL teams is going down the toilet.

[Dahoser]

Seriously, Nick? This is in question? Well fine, here you go. Two recent public mfers from different players and a third player detailing n-word usage during games.
