  1. Don't feel that way. A good deed is a good deed, and the people he helped had no idea it was coming.

    I'm torn.

     

    I define good character as doing the right thing, even when no one is looking.

     

    If one does a good deed, that is a beautiful thing.

     

    If one mentions the planned good deed,

    Then does the good deed,

    Then poses for pictures following the good deed (knowing it would get press)

     

    That just seems less-beautiful to me. Still a good deed ... but seemingly with more of a purpose than to do something nice for someone.

  2. I once attended a Giants-Broncos game and wore a Steve Atwater jersey to make my friend feel at ease (big Broncos fan). 99% of the jeers were in good fun. There were a couple guys saying some rude things, but nothing ever got physical.

     

    That said, the Broncos were 13-0 heading into the game and the Giants beat the piss out of them. So the fans were in good moods.

     

    I'd think you'd be fine. The number of good people far outweighs the number of bad people.

  3. On a national level, people are watching with fascination as this story unfolds. But local message boards are fighting it tooth and nail, and I don't quite understand why.

    I think it's because everyone likes a good story; especially an underdog story. I think local message boards are fighting it tooth and nail because they know this kid went undrafted for very good reasons. Everyone just wants to find the next Warner or Brady. Someday, that will happen ... but it sure as hell isn't Jeff Tuel.

  4. Actually, someone needs to climb off his p.c. hobby horse.

    Well, alias, if you choose to go this route, please go into the PPP area and strike up this conversation. The OP mentioned something which I questioned - because, well frankly, it was absurd. There is no hobby horse and there is no insinuation of political correctness or incorrectness. It was a question. Leave it alone or go to PPP.

  5. The reason we lost is because Marrone goes with Tuel over EJ in the Playoff game. Last seconds of the game Antonio Gates throws a lateral across field to Malcolm Floyd who gets behind a convoy of blockers on his way to the endzone.

    Hey, look at it this way. At least no one brought up one of the most painful minutes in Bills' fans' history.

  6. See, I don't know. I think my parents--classic Boomers--would love to access content the way I do, they just don't know technology well enough to know what's possible.

     

    I agree with you. My parents are in their early-to-mid 70s. I've gone through the hell of teaching them how to use remote controls, VCRs, DVD players and changing the time on their car stereos.

     

    They've finally drawn the line with DVRing, which I do a lot - and I've explained how beneficial it would be to their lifestyle (retired, always on the go). They're tired of learning new schit.

     

    They do like movies on demand (they have Time Warner Cable), though, and have mastered it.

     

    So I agree that the desire is there by many in that generation ... I just question whether they want to take the time/effort to learn yet another technological advancement.
