LT is just a mess of a human being, and a disgusting creature if these allegations are true. Nobody will forget his contributions to the sport of football, but I wouldn't mind if he never saw the light of day again...again, assuming this is all true.

But I thought he was doing so much better ever since he started on NutriSystem and lost more weight than Dan Marino?

I know you said no sympathy, but I just wanted to offer my best wishes. I know divorce is tough. I've always hoped to find a girl who doesn't want a ring (but I'm not sure one exists )

1. He's 16 2. Lil' Justin clearly understands what the guy is saying, as he repeats "German? I don't know what that means. German...we don't say that in America".

Is it? I personally can't comprehend how a Canadian kid (who I assume went through normal schooling before becoming a pop star this past year) can possibly not know what German is. Has he ever seen a map of Europe? Does he even know about World War I? World War II? If he didn't know about Burkina Faso, that'd be understandable. But Germany? Gimme a freakin break...that's just stupidity and ignorance.

And could you live with yourself, as a cop, if the guy got away from you and stabbed one of the players? If you're enough of an idiot to run onto the field, you have to accept the consequences.

For those of you who don't know, this crappy pop idol is pretty huge among the pre-teen crowd. As usual, God knows why their taste in music is so horrible, but there you have it. Anyhow, somehow this kid has managed to get through 16 years of life without ever hearing of Germany, or more specifically, German. I weep for the future. Enjoy. http://www.collegehumor.com/video:1935017

Yeah, I've heard that about him. Everybody talks about the fastball, but he's got a very nice splitter, slider and change-up to accompany it. To me, the biggest question about a young pitcher is whether or not he can locate the pitches...some very promising pitchers have been derailed from greatness by lack of control at the Major League level (I'm lookin' at you, Scott Kazmir). If Strasburg proves he can hit the corners effectively, I'm sold. If he debuts this season by walking 4-5 batters a game and serving up taters down the middle of the plate, I'll be more reserved.

Excellently so far. Got him in the 9th round of my fantasy draft...cha-ching.

Just remember that you're saying this before the kid's ever thrown a pitch in the major leagues. Mark Prior was supposed to be the next Nolan Ryan, too. So was Daisuke Matsuzaka. Skills and hype (both of which Strasburg has by the bushelful) don't always equate to success. I'm not saying he won't be great, but let's see him pitch for a couple seasons before crowning him.

Stuck, to be fair to Carolina Bill...the whole reason he was being indignant toward you is because of the comment you made about enjoying giving waiters attitude when they respond with "No problem". I assume you were joking about this, but if it's true then it's unnecessary and more than a little rude. He's correct about that, at the very least.

Maybe. I've only had it a couple times at airports, but it was just awful as I remember it.

Agreed 100% on coffee...has to be taken black. But the stuff at McDonald's? Blecch...I'll pay the extra dollar at Tim Horton's or Starbucks.

No, adults are responsible for their own health, no matter what their parents did. I just don't know of too many 7 or 8 year olds who say "No McDonald's today, Mom. I'm watching my figure."

I don't put much stock into Kiper's opinion. He's an expert on the draft, not football itself. He doesn't know any better than you or I how the new Bills' rookies are going to pan out.

Kids really are pills when you get a bunch of them together. It must be that they exhibit a more raw and unfiltered version of human nature, but man are they cruel to each other. They try their darndest to find strange or undesirable traits in their peers, and then just hound them endlessly about it. When I was in elementary school, I was the nerd...despite praise from the adults, I would've traded in my smarts if it meant the other kids would just leave me alone. I got along alright with most kids and I had a nice group of friends, but that didn't stop the bully types from making me miserable at every turn. Those days are long gone, but that crap sticks with you even if it's only in subconscious ways. One thing's for sure, it won't be pretty if I ever find out my own children are participating in bullying.

The idiotic "study" aside, it is sad that fat children have to get picked on so much...almost 100% of the time, childhood obesity is the fault of the kid's parents and not the innocent kid. These parents are either too lazy or too uninformed to feed their kids well and teach them good nutritional habits, and in most cases there isn't much the kid can do...which, to me, makes it tragic that they have to suffer torment from their peers over something of which their parents are culpable.

Ummmmm... The first...because of the teenage hostess?

This is all fair. I was just confused at your previous post where you made it seem that every food error in a restaurant is inherently the wait staff's fault. Just remember that even those who work at up-scale restaurants are prone to mistakes like all of us. You mention that your boss expects your projects to be delivered on time...he also probably expects that you'll have a bad day every once in a while.

So when I order my steak medium, and it comes back rare...that's the waiter's fault? If you've ever waited tables at a busy restaurant, you'd know that there's not time to inspect every detail of every plate. Sure, if the person orders the mashed potatoes and they end up with rice pilaf on the plate, you can alert the kitchen...but a lot of stuff slips by. Let me ask you this; How come in most fields, a certain degree of human error is expected and acceptable, but when it comes to restaurants people get their panties all up in a bunch over simple mistakes as if the employees are supposed to be perfect?

Who says lesbians "hate" men? You're attracted to women...does that mean you hate men?

http://nz.lifestyle.yahoo.com/new-idea/rea...-having-a-baby/ I'm on the record for believing this shouldn't be illegal...but man, I can't imagine anything more disgusting.

That show blows now anyway. Should have ended a couple seasons ago. The "mockumentary" type of show really isn't meant for the long-term.

Yeah, in most cities the muggers give you AT LEAST a week before taking your sh*t.

His post came after the 9/11 revelation, yours before...I assumed he had read it.
