I’d sign him. We’d be fucking idiots to ignore him.

Not long enough!!!!

Yes, they are a bunch of retards. It's just a god damn word. And, this is coming from the dad of a kiddo with Down Syndrome. I call her (and my son) a retard all the damn time... mainly, because they do retarded ass shit.

the funny thing about words used to describe humans with mental issues is they always turn into a pejorative and have to be replaced once they're deemed offensive

Up until around the 1960s, the terms "moron", "idiot", "cretin" and "imbecile" were all genuine terms to refer to people with mental intellectual disabilities and low intelligence. These words were discontinued in that form when concerns arose that they were offensive, with "retard" and "retarded" replacing them.

The thing about words is, who gets to say which are "bad" words and which are not? Shit and poop are both 4 letters and refer to the same thing. One is deemed a curse word and one is not. Why? I'm seriously asking.

Since I cuss like a sailor, I find myself wondering that all the time

I think its due to a variety of reasons but at this point its mostly silly peer pressure where virtually everyone cusses but then feels the need to apologize to each other when they do, its a funny thing to observe

[boozeman]

A little shocking, but I think he was due some sort of roster bonus they wanted to avoid paying.

 

[yimyammer]

wonder if the Ravens will bring him back for their super bowl run

 

[boozeman]

Good luck.

 

[Cowboysrock55]

Good luck.

You have to love the concept of "developing" a 30 year old fucking player. Like hey, maybe a couple years of seasoning and you'll have a good kicker by his mid 30s.

 

[Cotton]

Good luck.

What a dumpster fire of an organization.

 

[Rev]

Good luck.

 

[boozeman]

It is a futures contract.

And I bet he misses a kick in preseason next year, they will cut him. If anything, we are the dumpster fire for having his ass enter this season uncontested.

Oh, I speak from experience when I talk about dumpster fire organizations.
