Actually, he was one of the most exciting QB's ever and was indeed on that path had he chosen a legal hobby. He basically missed 3 years of his prime that probably cost him about 800 rushing yards per season and probably an MVP in there somewhere. He's still hobby good but definitely cost him big time.

They’ll say it was self defense but no chance anyone will see it that way. A group attacking a guy and him defending himself with what looks like a first down stick. Shooter should get life minimum and the others involved in the fight should get jail time as well including Aqib. His actions led to the death of a man.

I was shocked when Fox gave him that gig given his umm character issues including shooting other people and actually shooting himself as well. Oh and let’s not forget when he beat up a taxi driver. It was only a matter of time before his thug side resurfaced. As Dave Chappelle would say “When keeping it real goes wrong”

That could be a fun thread: What duties would you give Hackler if he was your employee?

Yeah I mean if he'd had those prime years and averaged what he was in the couple years prior to and after the suspension, he'd be in roughly the top 50 all time in rushing and passing, I think they'd have have found a place for him in the HOF with that resume.

Nothing that required original content or not plagiarizing yourself. I guess give him a spot with The New Yorker provided he can elevate himself to milquetoast.

People praised Talib's commentary work because he speaks like a guy that dropped out of 8th grade to join a gang.

As a God Fearing American, I am upset at your use of the word "chief" in your reply. Native Americans should not be used as an adjective. You should know better than this.

I once gambled at an Indian Casino, and I used to own an Atlanta Braves jersey. With that, I feel like I have the right to complain on their behalf.

You're certainly more gracious than me.

I was thinking "clean the septic tank" or "human furniture".

The term “gang member” is problematic and racist. The correct term is “proud serving member of a neighborhood clique”
