Should the Eagles take a shot at this guy? Not according to Bob Ford.

I would love it if they drafted this guy. The hand-wringing and spleen-venting that would occur afterward would be glorious!
nope....he can be a football player but i would much prefer it was somewhere else

Washington perhaps?
i wouldnt want him unless he showed true remorse and actually became a better person for it....i.e. you gotta put your security team to work and dig up every last detail on his character when the lights are off him
but all accounts he was a POS before during and after punching a woman in the face, so he can farg the farg off
Nah too many other prospects
He deserves a shot to play and to make the situation right though.
bottom line is he's just not that good. He's a 3rd round talent.
I'm fine with the Eagles taking him in the 3rd or later. I don't think you need to spend high picks on RBs.
I care less and less as the years go by about the moralizing bullshtein.
Frankly, torturing dogs is worse than punching a woman. People farging suck, I don't have much sympathy for them. Mixon might be an icehole but I guarantee the woman he punched is no prize specimen either. And even if she was..whatever, she was punched. She's fine. Get over the trauma, don't hang with scumbags...eat shtein loser human.
I wouldn't go for drinks with this guy, or let my daughter hang with him, but if the Eagles want to pick him up and spin this as second chance Christian love for the sweet sweet money then good for them.

My man
She hit him first. You don't want to be hit like a man, don't farging hit a man. Women want equality. Sometimes that works in their favor, other times it breaks your jaw.
sd is trolling but dio is most certainly not and good god almighty

Wat.
Also, I love dogs and what Vick did was terrible. But Vick paid his dues and then some and by all accounts has been a legit guy and great in the community since then. I have nothing but respect for how he has handled things since.

agreed and mixon deserves every chance to do the same....im just saying if i had my say in the matter it wouldnt be with the eagles
Vick tortured restrained dogs to death. We found room for him afterwards. Mixon punched someone (who had just struck him?) I think it's okay if we don't banish him forever as punishment.
If the Eagles want to take a chance on him I'm okay with that provided they don't gamble a whole lot on it.

Vick went to jail for 18 months.
If mixon went to jail for 18 months and has been relentlessly involved in anti-domestic violence groups, volunteering places and giving speeches in communities about it then maybe we can have the same conversation.
ETA- I'm not saying mixon should never be allowed to play football again. But if a girl hits you and you're a legit athlete built like he is and your response is to hit her so hard her jaw is surgically wired shut, let's not act like she's ok or implying she deserved that response. K?
I haven't followed his case. Was he charged? Convicted? All I know is, he punched a human on tape and people are acting like he's public enemy number one.
All the hand wringing and crying over this cracks me up.

I'm not trolling. I agree with Dio. Vick killed innocent animals. This broad got into a verbal altercation with someone then decided to hit him. Granted I don't agree with the amount of force he used but at the same point lets not act like he just clocked some random girl for no reason. Male or female you want to lay your hands on someone there's going to be a reaction.
I don't want Mixon because I just don't think he's that good. I'd take him in the 3rd round but I doubt he drops that far.

Details of the incident as reported by ESPN. (http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/18340581/oklahoma-sooners-rb-joe-mixon-apologizes-punching-woman-2014)
Basically, Mixon copped a plea deal (http://newsok.com/article/5361807) that gave him a one-year deferred sentence, 100 hours community service and counseling. Bob Stoops suspended Mixon for all of one game.
"She hit him first. You don't want to be hit like a man, don't farging hit a man. Women want equality. Sometimes that works in their favor, other times it breaks your jaw."
Coupled with Dio's comments about being a shtein human and THEN acknowledging to not knowing anything about the incident are beyond absurd.
He's an NFL quality athlete built to play fball at a BigXII school. It's like if your ten year old hits you, you being able to hit him until his jaw has to be wired shut as a teaching mechanism. What stupid arguments.

Except she's not a 10 year old, she's a grown up. HUGE difference.
QuoteThe surveillance video of the incident showed Mixon and Molitor having a verbal argument, which was followed by Molitor pushing Mixon, him lunging at her indicating to her to back off, her hitting him, and him hitting her back. His hit back caused her to fall and her face to slam into a table. Mixon later told police that Molitor's friend had directed a racial slur at him and that he responded with an homophobic slur at the friend
Quote"The gay dude ... he called me something," Mixon said in the video. "He was like, 'n-----.' So then I was like, 'you got me messed up.' And then I called him a f-g. And after that, the girl, she dropped her purse, that's when she came in my face, pushed me, and then my glasses came off, and then, like, I had, like, jumped at her, like, to watch out. And then she came in my face. I put my head down. And she swung on me.
"And after that, like, I was so shocked, because she hit me so hard. It felt like a dude hit me. And after that, like, my face went boom, my reaction was just right there."
I'm not saying Mixon's a saint or that he was justified with breaking her jaw but she CLEARLY instigated the physical confrontation. He gave her a warning to back off, she chose to hit him instead.

Your statement that if women want equal rights then they should take a punch to the face from a college athlete if they hit him is absurd.
You don't have to know the details to surmise that we're talking about a shtein show involving awful people. I don't care much that she hit him or that he hit her because that's what they do. "They," being people. And also young. And also jocks. And probably drunk, too. I don't know. Still ahven't read the details, and don't care. There were no innocent people involved, thats clear.
The dogs Vick killed had no agency, no freedom to take themselves elsewhere, no defenses. What he did is far worse than Mixon. We forgave him, we can forgive Mixon.

men are in a state of disarray right now and comments like these are their way of screaming for help cause the world isnt the same as it was in even 20 years ago much less 60...they dont want women making the same amount of money as them you think they are gong to let a women touch them with knocking her out

they argued outside the bar
she went back in the bar
should have ended there
mixon followed her back into the bar
he approached her and started talking shtein
she shoved him and with an open had gave him a love tap on the neck
she was blatantly wasted....mixon was not
mixon smashed her face in and left
also mixon lied/exaggerated repeatedly about what happened
then the video came out exposing him
the real problem though is kapernick for kneeling during a song

Clearly, I mean 20-60 years ago I remember a bunch of women coming a funhole hair away from becoming POTUS. Oh no wait, that was 6 months ago. Give me a break with this bullshtein.
Not a lot of love for social science here on the day of the march for science I see.
IGY gives the bastichized, extremely crudely worded version of it...but yeah there's a decent amount of psychological research out there that would back up more or less the basic idea of what he's saying.
Quote from: MDS on April 22, 2017, 01:58:18 PM

a large segment of the population who got their panties in a knot over kaep are the same people that think strong women are a societal problem....and a lot from both of those groups also think the white male is the most discriminated against species out there right now
there would be a huge amount of shared space if you did a venn diagram of those three groups
Every single one of you is the absolute farging worst.
But Joe Mixon is the best? I knew you supported abuse
Why else would he have read this thread?
I see where IGY's coming from. I'm as old as dirt but there is still some of that women are basically June Cleaver. Personally, if my wife came home and said I'm going to make more than you, considerably more, I'd be the first one to pop the champagne. I'd be doing backflips down the street. Two of my last three bosses were women and they were absolutely incredible to work for. They have both become dear friends of mine. In my industry here in Hawaii up until late last year 90% of my buyers were women, the grocery industry.

big up hawaii but it probably isnt the most useful example to be used in this discussion as it is about the most progressive place in the united states
the topic is woman beating and don talks about how he loves his female bosses and clients
maybe sd and dio should move to hawaii and become well meaning wouldnt harm a fly but off their rocker old people
