Maybe you're a little bitch?

CLASSIC

LeCrae is pretty good. He has a nice flow.

The guy was nearly cut for the third time this year about a week before his hot streak begin but held his roster spot merely out of necessity on the Knicks part due to injuries. And anyone who compares him to Tebow is missing the point.

Ha, I'm 6'2, 190, and have a higher voice for a dude (whatevs, I work it).

You get two steps, which is what he took.

No problem. I hate the comparisons too.

Also another difference from Tebow/similarity with Cruz: salary. This guy is making pennies (like Cruz, prior to the new contract he just got), while Tebow is making a lot more.

I mean you are right that Lin runs offense while Eli does it and Cruz is a factor of it, but I still feel both have brought excitement. You weren't seeing these BOMBS that Eli was throwing as often with Nicks or Manningham as you saw with Cruz.

This is a pretty ignorant post

Yeah I agree with that, although I would take 700k to play in the NBA haha but i get what you mean.

Huge Giants fans and cruz was definitely instrumental in their Super bowl run. He added a new dimension to their offense. Steve Smith who?

Another thing that bothers me about "Linsanity" is that the Rangers are the best team in the NHL and the get no press. They should get an asian hockey player and be 2 games under .500 like the Knicks and they would be all over the back pages.

I think your second statement is a bit more subjective than your first one. I think intolerance, ignorance, selfishness, and a lack of compassion are the reasons for hate and killing, and from there we have to ask whether religion promotes that or not. And I think it is there that we will find the issue split. It's for sure an important discussion, but I'm not sure if it's completely relevant for this thread.

It's interesting though that Lin was with Intervarsity and not PTC (ex. CFC) at Harvard. Intervarsity has what some would describe as more "liberal" elements in their theology, in terms of creation and women's roles.

EDIT: I'm not even sure in what capacity PTC is on Harvard, they're not directly listed on Harvard's student groups website. IVCF apparently had 8 chapters at Harvard when Lin was there.

Did anyone else see the twitter post from Floyd Mayweather about Lin? He said something along the lines of "...it's because he's Asian. Black players do this every night and don't get close to the attention of this guy...". Only Mayweather would make a racist post like that, haha.

Super Lintendo!

I bet he wasn't like this when a young Tiger Woods was emerging

He's a minority, but a devout Christian.

What do Liberals do with this one?
