    Why does everyone always desire to be a fly? I'd much rather be a kitten or a parakeet that one of the coaches carries around on his shoulder.

  2. I think we need to hire the best young coach available, but I also want a coach who will be here long term and not use us as a stepping stone to the NFL or any other coaching job.  Scott Frost seems to me to be the best combination of the two. 

     

    Ideally, we could let him coach a couple more years at UCF to get a better idea of his abilities.  But would you rather gamble with Frost now, or give Riley two more years?

    I do not think anyone that is not on my side is a bad person, I just disagree with them. I wish the other side thought that about people on my side.

    Don't worry so much about "your side or "the other side".

     

    You be you.

     

    If I were the only one who felt the way I do about this issue and was going up against 200 or so other posters, I'd stick with my convictions if I felt strong enough, but I would also reexamine things to see why I was the only one who felt the way I did. I stick by my convictions, but keep an open mind in case I have made a mistake.

     

    This is what I have been wanting to hear from everyone the past two pages. If everyone else was willing to put the knife down then I would too.

     

    You misunderstand. You are on the wrong side here. The difference is you refuse to listen to the other side or make any attempt to understand it. I will stand by my convictions, but in the face of overwhelming opposition, I would try to understand the other side. You don't.

     

    And your biggest problem as a poster is you keep changing your argument. If you had said I don't like the methods of the protest and left it at that, no one would care. But you keep doubling and tripling down on your take that everything is hunky-dory and no change needs to take place.

    If I combined half the hate I have gotten on this thread and said it out loud, I would be rightfully banned. Calling someone "not worth talking to on this matter" or "ignorant" is not a way to sway them to your side. It is a way to get them pissed off and hate your side even more. Everybody has opinions that not everybody will agree with, but can't we at least be a bit respectful while still disagreeing?

    You aren't going to be swayed. You've said so earlier in this thread. The fact that you ignore evidence that refutes points you try to make proves that you are ignorant to what the protests are about and have no desire to learn.

     

    And like Nebfanatic said, ignorance is merely a lack of knowledge. There are many topics I am ignorant about. But I don't go on message boards to try and have a discussion about those topics.

     

    I made my first comment on page 3 because I hate anthem protests. I wasn't intending to get this into it. Simple as that.

     

    Nobody is forcing you to post in this thread.

     

    But when you do, you are taking part in a discussion. If you refuse to see the other side and refuse to learn about why they are protesting, you are going to get backlash.

     

    I see the other side, and I don't like it. Either you are doing the same thing as me, or you are refusing to see my side yourself.

    You refuse to see the other side. I, along with several other posters, have tried to show you the other side and you refuse to read links, or listen to anything that doesn't align with your view.

     

    I've seen your side. It's the side of intolerance and hate. And I can't be swayed to that side.

     

    I have seen the links, and I still don't agree. My side is also not a side of intolerance and hate. I do not hate anyone on the other side. I just disagree. My side is simply the fact that I do not like protesting the anthem. Simple as that. Stop overthinking it.

     

    Ok. It's fine to not like the protest. I didn't like Kaepernick's at first, but came around on it.

     

    Then you start talking about how the police do a fine job and nothing is wrong with the policing in this country, and continued to do so even when with evidence to the contrary. How you refuse to learn about the reason for the protests.

     

    That's why you get labeled as intolerant. And you said in so many words that you hate the protests. There's your hate label.

  6. NFL reopens Brown investigation, Brown not going to London

    Josh Brown's future with the New York Giants and possibly the NFL is in jeopardy after police released journal entries and emails in which the place-kicker admitted that he repeatedly verbally and physically abused his former wife.

     

    Apparently the NFL has known about this for years and has don't little to nothing about it.

     

    Personally, I feel that his behavior is not representative of the University of Nebraska and and mentions of his name on promotional material or any memorabilia hung up on campus should be removed. He did play ing games, so he should still be a part of official statistics and records, but any other mentions .
