    Never told anyone they can't joke about things. I can tell you that I know immaturity when I see it. There's nothing PC about what I'm saying here. Joke about mental illness if you want. I just might laugh. But if you stand there laughing and pointing AT someone's personal misfortune, I'll probably call you an a**hole.

      I hardly think this qualifies as pointing and laughing at someone's misfortune. And to my knowledge, he hasn't been diagnosed with any form of mental illness yet. Sounds to me like the guy had a bad day. It happens. But it doesn't make this any less funny. Time to put on the big boy pants and go back to his job that he gets paid very handsomely to do.
      I only drink when I'm alone or with others.

        The reports I read said he is "In treatment". Sounds like he flipped out & is in the loony bin (Sorry, with all the PC posts I couldn't resist getting on their nerves)

          Really? He sought counseling. He supposedly had an "emotional breakdown". So that makes him "mentally ill"? It could mean that. or it could mean that he had a bad day. was embarrassed and needed to talk to someone.
          If it's the latter and the gag wasn't too cruel then yeah I can see where that could be funny. Maybe the rest of the linemen did an impression of a swinging gate.

            Ugh. I was responding to the original post that first mentioned mental illness. I did not bring that up.

                  Now cornerbacks. ..
                  Actually I think they rank higher than QB's

                      Uh nobody is saying you can't say it. That doesn't mean you aren't a dick for saying it. We aren't talking about Dave Chappelle here making a funny joke, we are talking about morons on an internet forum. This is not comedy this is 2 dudes sitting in a bar making fart jokes.

                      I'm also pretty sure when the founding fathers thought of freedom of speech, they weren't talking about the right to be a dick. Common human decency is unfortunately the collateral damage to ensure intellectual discourse and government criticism are protected. Morons get the same freedom of speech as people with normal healthy brains without an axe to grind about how you "can't say anything these days" (which is absolutely 100% completely false btw. Do you not have Facebook????).

                      Feel free to use it however you want however, that's the American way!

                            Bullying is not acceptable in the NFL. There should be a Bullying Awareness Month and all the players should wear yellow.

                              And the officials can have yellow flags for awareness!
