He is a shell of his former self in terms of playing skills. No one will ever dispute Smith's character, he is a stellar human being, but he has always been a mediocre QB at best. Assessing extremely high-paid players based on their physical gifts and limitations is not out of bounds, it comes with the territory. Enough of the PC police. Try reading the first amendment. Enough of the censorship in this country. The people I want to have the right to speak the most are those whose views I find the most offensive, because without that freedom you have tyranny. Who made you the omniscient arbitrator of what is in and out of bounds? Move to Russia or China, Comrade.

OK, enough of this crap. My opinion is that the “potted plant” comment was offensive. Actually I said “out of bounds”. I never said or implied that it was somehow illegal or against any rules, so don’t give me your first amendment lecture. Expressing an opinion is what these boards are all about, and in your short tenure here you have certainly gotten an ample opportunity to express yours.
And speaking of offensive, the last line of your post speaks for itself.
