I do not consider it being PC, but rather being sensitive and respectful. This country was founded by brave people believing in tolerance. I think practicing it now is a good thing. It should be a source of pride rather than anger.

The early European Puritan settlers didn't believe in tolerance. Even though they were trying to escape perceived intolerance, the only tolerance they believed in was that they all thought alike.

How to you explain tolerance when women were burned at the stake or drowned by no less being accused of witchcraft? They would tie you in a chair, sink you in a lake and if you drown, you weren't a witch. If when they raised you, you were alive, you were a witch! Then, they would burn you at the stake! Real f'ing tolerant!

Or how the Europeans kept pushing the Real Americans (Native Americans) further west to satisfy their need for ever more land. Or if they didn't keep relocating they put them on reservations, or worse, killed them. Real Tolerant! At least the French lived among the Native Americans.

Oh, Merry Christmas!

They did not have the advantage of the knowledge and world view we have. They wanted tolerance for themselves. In the 21st century I think we can do more with that. I know I can.

Merry Christmas to you.

'Christmas' comes from stories and myths and has absolutely nothing to do with Jesus or Christianity. I hate this holiday has been made a holiday full of stupid religion, why can't it just be a cool holiday? I don't think it's wrong to say Christmas, but it makes you look pretty stupid since it has nothing to do with 'Christ'. But this is what people know I guess you had to call it something, I would have prefers something cooler. That is why I prefer Holiday I wouldn't force any to say it though because honestly I don't really care that much.

      Draft Week Rumors, Leaks and Media Draftniks Final Mocks

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      Hard to interpret some of Brugler's opinions. Capable of running a robust route tree sounds like a lazy thing to say - I'm sure just about every slot TE is capable of running a full route tree... I want to know if he is currently able to (which from tape leads me to a no). Granted, it's pretty common for most receivers/TE not having a full route tree developed before they get drafted. Agility/acceleration after the catch hasn't shown up on his tape (at least his Oregon tape) for those dig/out breaking routes while it has for the seam and slant routes. Agree he has a good physical build and he is very good running seam routes. His build definitely helps him to shield defenders and create a large target point for the QB. Drops were a concern, but it could be focus drops just like T-Mac was/is prone to. Run blocking is an accurate statement, but again, we have only seen him run block in the slot/backfield - inline blocking is a whole different animal. With his athleticism, he definitely has a high ceiling. I just think he also has a low floor and don't like taking that big of a risk on a mid 1st rounder. I think this is a deep TE draft and would much rather target one in the 3rd or later. He's very boom or bust to me - bust in terms of being worth a 1st round pick, not an out of the NFL in a few years type bust. I feel like he gives me Evan Engram vibes. Not saying that Evan Engram was/is a bad NFL player, just that most people would agree he shouldn't have been drafted in the 1st.

      I mean I would love 6-1. It’s funny the hurricanes usually dominate the first game and win by three or four goals. But keep the second game close. It would be nice if it’s the reverse of that tonight.

      Brugler has him as TE1 and going to the Ravens in the first.  Apparently Sadiq's football IQ is pretty high (interviewed very well).  Also he was an WR and CB in high school.  This is why I always thought his route running was solid.  I'm sure it needs some polishing but for a TE it's pretty good. nfl.com Built like a bodyguard with a compact, well-defined frame. Capable of running a robust route tree. Gets in and out of breaks with good snap and separation. Vandalizes defensive seams with impunity against man coverage. Survives collisions with catches thanks to his hand strength. Shows off agility and acceleration after the catch. Fits up run blocks with proper positioning and base width. Grips and presses forward with moving feet to stay connected. -Again I don't know if we should take him but if he goes to the right team he could become a scary weapon at the next level.  I just like him as a prospect.
