Interesting story in ESPN the Mag on Pat White. It seems like this writer jim macgreggor always writes with a chip on his shoulder about the NFL .

I was hoping to read 41 essays by Pat White. I'm disappointed.

Pat would have probably written full paragraphs instead of single sentences.

I am intrigued by the idea that the NFL is prejudiced against lefties.

It is interesting. Steve Young is the only lefty QB in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, if I'm not mistaken.

Then again, lefties with great arms usually become pitchers, not quarterbacks.
 
I thought the Crabtree story was pretty good. Then again, I read pretty much anything Wickersham writes. That dude is legit.

Though not a HOF'er isn't part of your namesake, Ken Stabler a lefty?

Pretty much does Tim Tebow in.

Next Week Macgregor tells us the real reason Michael Vick got suspended is because the NFL does not like lefty QB's

For a long time, there were very few lefty QBs because it was unorthodox, and coaches like being conformists.

Not quite the same comparison, but look how long it took black quarterbacks to be accepted.

This thread can die now.

Really - what the f..k ? The story was an interesting one and warrants a discussion.
We don't need another thread arbitrator.
