Wrong again Chris (but that’s not surprising). When Clark came into the league he had one of the highest Wonderlic scores ever at the Combine. Living in the Pitts, however, even just for the season, made him stupid. It’s not clear whether he chose to be stupid, so he wouldn’t stand out among his neighbors, or whether it just happened automatically because he was in the Pitts. Work on that elementary school problem, would you.

The Federal Election Commission report, as of 11/29/10, shows that Goodell personally supported such right-wingers as John Conyers (D, Michigan), Martin Meehan (D – Mass.), Charles Schumer (D – NY), and Martha Coakley (D – Mass.). He also wrote a check to the Environmental Defense Action Fund PAC (the legislative arm of the Environmental Defense Fund). The biggest check he wrote was to a political action committee called “Gridiron-PAC” which, according to a September 2009 report from the nonpartisan “Center for Responsive Politics,” has “given roughly two-thirds of its donations to Democrats.”

You proposed we “check out how the fines are laid out.” Good idea. Last I checked, the biggest victim of Goodell’s stupidity by far is James Harrison, the guy who refused to go to the Obama White House after the ’08 Super Bowl. That snub probably didn’t endear him to too many Democrats. And lest you’ve forgotten, one of the main reasons Goodell became commissioner in the first place was due to the Rooney’s staunch support for him.

Such “theories” are ridiculous. If one truly buys into the political conspiracy you propose, Goodell would be out to get teams owned by Republicans, not Democrats. As a hard core Steeler fan and member of Steeler Nation, I don’t give a flip about the politics of other Steeler Nation members. Let’s stick to the facts and dump the political intrigue, shall we?

Actually, Ryan Clark is from Louisiana. He just plays for Pittsburgh. See, in football, they have this thing called “the draft” where players from ALL OVER THE COUNTRY are taken by whatever team wants them.

Typical Baltimoron. Can’t even troll intelligently.

Maybe one of you guys from the Pitts can explain to Ryan Clark that the verb he was searching for in his less than articulate statement that you use as an epigraph is “err,” not “error.” Error is a noun. But then Clark is a football player, and from the Pitts, so literacy is not in his skill set. Do you people have schools out there in fly over land, even elementary or secondary ones?
