The leap from this to Europeans "discovering" the Americas is quite some leap.  
The example is a leap, but again, here you are missing the point.  The direct correlation is your thinking.  We could use many different things as an example, some leaps, some not.  But the example isn't as important as the problem of your thinking.

But I don't expect you to acknowledge that or change anything.  You're 137 years old and set in your ways.  

I agree with you in that Smart's act wasn't damning, but it was certainly something problematic.  This all-or-nothing dipshit thinking has infected our society like a plague.  Thanks for contributing to it.

I do have to wonder what will come of this-- I saw this live yesterday and couldn't believe my eyes:

Brady Hoke sent his obviously-concussed QB back out and wasn't fired for cause in the post-game presser.

Fran McCaffrey hasn't been fired despite sideline meltdowns that had me worried about him stroking out.

Juwan Howard threw punches in the handshake line and wasn't left on the tarmac on Madison.

Nothing is going to come of this.

If I wish to make a point, I usually just go right at it and avoid using some bizarre analogy that is way off point.

We'll see if anything comes of this, or if it's a one time mistake that results in .... nothing.

A pricey lawyer could argue it was the player's fault for getting in his way and Smart should sue, due to negative press from the incident.  

That's one reason lawyers are evil.

I've known, and worked with, quite a few lawyers in my day, I wouldn't characterize any of them as evil.  Some were not very competent.

I do think we have an overly litigious society, but I can't fix that.

We have different definitions of evil, then.  Lawyers are paid well to argue either side of an argument, unconcerned with the truth.  

That's bad enough on it's face, but to be compensated well for it is something I deem highly unethical.  But I'm the problematic weirdo here.

Some lawyers are paid to do that, criminal defense lawyers of course, it's their job, and part of our justice system, an important part, that an accused he representation who advocates for his case.  A lot of lawyers don't do this at all.  The prepare wills, or patents, or do corporate law, or worry about regulations, etc.

I worked with a number of patent attorneys and still count as friends 2 or 3 of them.

The injury case lawyers broadly speaking rate lower in my own book of "evility".  But they too can have a legitimate role.

Im very confused about clock rules.  Feels like you should just play with 20 guys on the field if there are 10ish seconds left, get the stop, and give up 5 yards and all the time that runs off.  Why dont they reset the clock back to the start of the play?  Put your whole roster on the field and give uo the 5 yards and all the time

Speaking of which, did they ever show a replay including the game clock on the last slide? I don't think he got down in time, but that's the sort of thing that was worth a second look. Recall a similar situation was the play prior to the Kick Six.
No. He did not get down in time.  It was not a first down so the clock wouldn’t stop when he goes down, which was with one second left.  Not nearly enough time to communicate a time out.

I cant blame him for the loss. 

If you would have told any knowledgeable CFB or Buckeye fan that He would go into that hostile environment and:

go 28/35 for 80% completion, 326 yards, 2 TDs, no picks, no fumbles and run for a TD,
you would certainly predict a big win. 

Not only that, but given a challenge to drive them late for a winning FG attemp, he would get them to the Oregon 28, 1st and 10, 42 seconds left, and 1 timeout- you would say great job, especially in that environment.   
Get your facts first, then you can distort them as you please.

Lost in everything else, Vandy beat Kentucky on the road...

Also lost in everything…to make a point from our geography discussion last week:

...but specifically Michigan has a well-documented history of losing road trips out West.

@Mdot21 and others mentioned the same thing.  First I want to point out that this is FAR from a "Michigan" thing.  All of our teams have trouble with West Coast games and in this new era having four league members out there it will be interesting to see how that plays out. 

both Los Angeles schools lost at home to schools heralding from traditional Big Ten territory. Minnesota’s game Vs ULCA didn’t kickoff until what was around 10PM local time to Minneapolis.

Worth noting Ohio State lost @ Oregon and Washington was blown out @ Iowa in a game that kciked off at 9AM Seattle time.

It was actually a 8pm CDT start in Arroyo Seco. And the Gophers didnt need to be on the West Coast to pull off their usual slow start.
