If there’s a silver lining to this, it’s the fact that he’s no longer smoking dope. Stoners are mellow and would never insult somebody like that. He’s gotta be clean & sober.

This use of the word retard falls under a particular rule of grammar known as, "the fifth grade sense of the word."

In my copy of The Manual of Manliness it says it's okay to use words like "retard" or "fag" to berate someone, as long as you are only using the fifth grade sense of the word. That means that consistent with the typical fifth grade understanding of what those words mean, you are simply calling the person out for doing something stupid or whimpy, and are not literally accusing them of being mentally handicapped or homosexual.

It is still standard terminology for the medical and education communities. Mild, Moderate, Severe, and Profound Retardation are classifications. Maybe JJ has been studying and is learning how to diagnose someone :lol:

Either way, I am proud of the guy! I never would've believed he would have the discipline to last this long in the NFL
