Weekly NFL Picks Thread

I think the most notable thing about the situation in Miami is not that players bully and intimidate one another, especially if they are younger members of the league. It's that a player took actions that turned it into a public story. We're no longer in a day and age where the league and media can represent this as an isolated incident by a rogue lone wolf. Even ESPN's analyst's are admitting that it's a part of the culture of pro sports. One reporter opined that players are more likely to be angry with the young man who couldn't take the bullying, than they are with the knuckle-dragger who was harassing him.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

In the military we try to solve things at the lowest rank level. Jumping the chain of command or disregarding it completely won't earn you too many friends. There was a better way he could have gone about it. If you're a 6-4 300 lb dude, surely you can manage to confront your bully, and if not, why not give the coach a shot at resolving the issue? I'm not condoning the things the guy said, but seriously...this thing has gotten WAY out of hand.

Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
