Can’t figure out this line: “It would have been really interesting to get a SPARQ score, but SPARQ didn't exist in 1999.” is it a joke going over my head?
What about Arn Tellem, UofM Law graduate. Cool story, I saw his signature on one of the dressing room doors at Sam's on Liberty amongst the sea of random signatures.
The problem people are having with this thread is the phrasing of your question.
It's one thing to ask "Who do you think will be the starter" or "who has performed better so far in spring practice" because at least people have some factual basis for their opinion (i.e. reports from a limited spring practice sample size).
"Who would you rather start based on the NFL star their measurables match" is a question whose answer cannot be based in fact.
I would think that almost no one on this board has a preference as to who will start other than "whoever wins the starting job". If they do post a preference, they are probably misinterpreting your question to be asking "who do you think has been most impressive so far".
And explicitly leaving out Morris makes the question sound disrespectful in my view.
I'm sure he'll be fine. That doesn't make it ok to be mean. People are just trying to live their lives and putting people down just makes the world a worse place.
In the scheme of things, it's a small thing to insult someone but the size of the injustice doesn't justify it.
I don't think I've ever posted before. I read the site and I love all the content. However, this topic really got to me.
Just imagine if the kid was your son or little brother or you yourself. How would you feel seeing that post? I've said things about people that I regret, but I try to think about how someone else will feel before saying something potentially hurtful. I mean, people are just trying to live their lives.
Brian's post was undeniably hurtful to the kid and his family.
