    Is it true that the ACLU chapter in Missouri thinks NFL player evaluations should include not just race, but also “perceived” sexual orientation, as well as religion, “disability” and “English language proficiency?”

    I'm not in favor of that.

    And, of course, the thread just turned into a troll fest.

    Have a great day guys.

    Has Devil ever had a good laugh at his own expense?

    I don't get guys like him and Baron who can't ever join in on a joke when it's directed at them.

    There's a certain Steelers fan with reading comprehension issues who seems to take himself a little bit seriously, too.

    Golly, who could have seen this coming?

    Fifth person in team's draft-day war room, coach Hue Jackson, is wild card. He favors gut, eye and instinct over data -- even to own detriment. Seemed out of loop at combine when he suggested analytics "not going to drive our organization." Hope is Jackson can bring balance and unique perspective to data-driven decision-making. Fear is he's "a very bad fit," according to former NFL exec. "It's not just Hue Jackson," same source states. "When data overrides gut, the majority of his coaching staff will all be there screaming, 'What the f--- are these computer guys doing? They don't understand football, they don't understand the locker room. They're killing us.'"

    Will Paul DePodesta and Moneyball work in Cleveland?
