Talking to a Redskins fan earlier and he was telling me how great Derrius Guice had looked and said he hoped his injury didn't sabotage his career like it did Ki Jana Carter. That being a name I remembered from the 90's, but hadn't heard in a while, I did a quick google search and came accross this article

Ki-Jana Carter opinions are probably wrong

I remember him being very good, but I was in high school at the time, played sports more than I followed it, and it was before the emergence of the internet and all, so I didn't realize how good/highly regarded he was. Based on some quotes from some respected guys, it sounds as though Carter could've have been a great one.

A few years ago, ESPN did their 30 for 30 series and one of them was The Best that Never Was, and it profiled former Oklahoma RB Marcus Dupree. Highly touted back who left college early for the USFL but who never lived up to potential because of a gruesome leg injury.

Give me some of your "Best who never was" guys.....

The athletic just did an article about how advanced knee surgery and rehabilitation has become. Its basically an 8 month injury now and doesn't usually limit the players much. Georgia has 2 guys fully cleared to play right now 8 months out of surgery and another who tore his acl in March that they expect back soon.

Yeah I remember watching something on how much better they've gotten with these ACL repairs. I want to say whomever they spoke to saying that if you tore your ACL back when he played (70's) then you'd be lucky to ever return. Which seemed kind of off to me because it's such a common injury these days. NFL training camp is like two weeks in and something like 10 or so players have already torn ACLs.

The gq on tos is such a chit show of a forum. Such ignorant irrelevant cornball threads. The back and forth banter is embarrassingly unfunny. Mods provide good info but overall JFC that place is bad.

I just tried to watch an NFL highlights video from twitter, and they tried to make me watch a verizon commercial before the highlight. I've got the attention span of a chicken, so I closed it down. But I also closed it down because ..... wtf is with Verizons front man? Same with the progressive nerd - Jaimie. I normally just record shows and fast forward past commercials, but is it a new trend where companies are deciding to use these cuck, weak, awkward male 'characters' to represent their companies?

I mean, I don't need chuck norris selling me phone services through bites of raw meat, but I can do without the skinny jean wearing cake boys who look like they're scared of power tools.

The soyboy phenotype is what's being promoted by the """MAINSTREAM MEDIA""", their ad-buyers, and the advertising agencies that create these campaigns. It's a concerted effort to emasculate and feminize men. If this was simply about selling something, they would market goods and services to the target demographic that would be watching events like football on TV. But it's more than simply selling a product. It's about creating a narrative, and normalizing an image of men as being broken-down, weak, effeminate, cucked, and useless.

The best revenge? Cut the cord, don't watch TV. Don't give the networks your money that promotes this advertising agency. Only time that I watch television is when college football or some kind of compelling sport is on.
