Retardation also carries an IQ range of <20 to 70.

She walked off mumbling something about not knowing why she tries. lol

Professional athletes are paid a lot of money for more than just what they do on the field, and should try a little harder to stay out of internet spats with fans. So I'm not making an excuse for him... That being said, people call each other "retard" every day, and it has nothing to do with people who are actually mentally retarded. It's understood (or it SHOULD be understood) that it's an expression used to insult someone who either says or does something dumb.

But, naturally, people have to literalize everything. Retard is a WORD, people! It has different meanings. It doesn't represent just one type of person, or even always a person, at all. As you pointed out.

Retard. Noun. To tard again.
Retarded. Adjective. Repeatedly affecting the display of tard.

Jackrabbit can cover. This is a big deal.

I cant look at Apple anymore. There are so many plays he could make if he would just turn his head and try to locate the damn ball. Hopefully this move offsets our defensive line injuries a little. Those where 2 big losses to our defense.

Losing confidence perhaps? Self esteem concerns?

He's got the rest of the year to see how well he fits on the team. If he is willing to toe the line like everyone else and picks up the system then he might have found a home with a winner. If he doesn't want to conform to the team and/or he can't pick up the scheme then it was a good shot by the front office and he'll be looking for a job next year. No harm no foul.
