  1. Maybe in your opinion, but not in mine. Not too hard to turn off your precious cell phone when instructed. Unless you're an @ssh0le.

    Couldn't agree more. When I travel, I want the plane to get in the air as fast as possible - and get to my destination safely as fast as possible. Every time I see these idiots keeping their electronic devices on ... only to have the attendants make another announcement, then have to do additional walk-throughs ... it just pisses me off because they are, in effect, delaying departure.

  2. Without elaborating, I can tell you that I can relate to what you're going through. The best advice I can give:

     

    Take the paternity test.

    Be honest with everyone. Take responsibility. Take your lumps.

    With everything bad, there is something good. Find what is good. Embrace it.

    Realize that good people do bad things. Every day. I don't know you, so I don't know if you're a good person or not. That's for you to decide. If you are a good person, then this doesn't make you a bad person. It makes you human.

    Think through every decision thoroughly; don't do anything rash.

     

    Best of luck to you. Keep your head up.

  3. If Brady is still their QB, the rest is just noise. The guy has been winning for ten years with skill position talent patched together from spare parts.

    This.

     

    Bill B. has over 2 months to prepare for the Buffalo Bills and he has Brady at the helm. The Patriots'* distractions and injuries could help Buffalo, but I wouldn't say by much.

  4.  

     

    And apparently your eyes are slowly and inevitably drawn to the gap.

     

    :nana: :nana: :nana:

     

     

    I'll admit ... I was taking a leak at the urinal. The dude walks in and hits the first stall, and proceeds to piss (standing).

     

    Going full circle - I found it odd, as I always do with the stall pissers.

     

    At this point, I've still not looked in the mirror behind me that would give me a view through the ridiculously large crack.

     

    Then I heard him rolling out about 10 yards of toilet paper and I'm thinking to myself, "what the fk is this cat doing?? First he does the stall piss, now he's using toilet paper???"

     

    So, at this point, I'm at the sink, washing my hands. And I strategically positioned myself to be able to use the mirror to see what the hell was going down.

     

    The guy was dabbing his unit dry. Mind you, I'm basically looking at him as he's facing the other direction, so I'm not seeing his junk. Just the motion of his hand obviously "addressing" that area.

     

    So yeah ... I looked.

  5. Across on my floor there were a ton of IT people, & my place outsources alot of the IT work & they contract these people in from India(don't ask me where they find them). This has been going for about 4-5 years now. Ever since they did this the bathroom have been disgusting(keep in mind at a white colar atmosphere, not some assembly line). I mean plugged up toilets, boogers on the wall, crap on the seats. One time I walked in there late in the day & there was actually crap on the floor. I mean what kind of culture do these people have? I would think common courtesy would stop them from doing stuff like this. I mean it has got to the point where I was fearful of even taking a leak at work not knowing what I was going to find. Well they moved all the IT people out 4 weeks ago & magically the bathrooms are cleaner then they ever been. So it is not just me stereotyping either. That is the good news, the bad news is we are supposed to move to their location shortly after Labor Day so I better enjoy the work bathrooms this summer I guess.LOL

    So you're saying IT people have disgusting bathroom habits?

  6. I have nothing to add here except for the fact that I walked into a public bathroom Saturday and there were 5-6 completely free urinals and a grown-ass man was on the end pissing into the kid's urinal. Where do these people come from?

    I always piss in the kids' urinal. My theory ... if there's going to be any ricochet of other people's piss spraying back at me ... I'd rather have it hit my knees than my junk.

  7. gotta give at least one urinal buffer whenever possible..in our set up...3 urinals..i hate it when someone takes the middle one when all the others are available..that prohibits the one urinal buffer

    We have 2 urinals (with a wall; one low, one high) and 3 crappers. If I'm pissing and a guy comes in and grabs the middle stall, I just shake my head. Personally, I'm all about the handicap stall, for maximum room. However ... you gotta take the bad with the good ... handicap stall doors open outward. If some a-hole slams his stall door hard enough, it can make other stall doors open. Not much of a deal if the door opens inward. If it opens outward, you need to literally stand up, take two steps and grab the door to close it. And the wall of mirrors is directly across the crappers ....

  8. The crapper pisser annoys me, too. I don't get it.

     

    The other thing that I cannot figure out is why there are always boogers wiped on the wall in front/on the side of the urinals. This has been common in my workplace the entire time I've been here (going on 18 years) and I've had multiple suspects, but they've all left and the boogers keep reappearing.

     

    And the custodian closes off the bathroom about 5 times/day to clean it ... but never wipes the boogers off the wall.

     

    Grrrrr ....

    Is that all the cheaters in baseball did wrong? Just get caught? It's a sad day when people think cheating to win is ok and something to be overlooked. Too bad Lance Armstrong got caught. We wouldn't all know what a loser he turned out to be. And yes you are condoning it, despite what you just claimed. And yes an argument can be made that the cheating made them superbowl champs. Tell the opposing coaches that the other team knew what they were going to run and see how they feel about it. I doubt they yawn

    I don't like that any cheating occurred. I'm simply stating that it's my belief that the type of cheating the Pats* got caught doing is far from unique and far from isolated to New England.

     

    Bill Belichick never needed to cheat to win. He's a better coach that the guy on the opposite sideline 100% of the time.

     

    My assertion is that it's commonplace. Just like in bicycle racing.

     

    Baseball is a different story. No cheaters ever won anything other than individual awards and individual records. It frosts my ass, because those records are ruined forever.

     

    The Patriots* would have won every single one of those Super Bowls without the "cheating." They were always the best team when they won. And they were even the best team when they lost the first Giants Super Bowl.

  10. What about Belicheat? His record in Cleveland was mediocre. I think the Brady pick and the cheating made Belichick the "great" coach he is today. Is Belicheat mentioned in the discussion of greatest coaches ever if he doesn't win a superbowl? I doubt it. One could argue that all his superbowl wins were tainted. I know others in this board don't agree with me, but I don't think cheaters deserve recognition. I think he should have been tossed out of the league. They suspended Payton for bountygate because they were concerned about the integrity of the game. What Belicheat did hurt the integrity of the game more.

    Bill Belichick is likely the best head coach ever, in my opinion. The cheating crap ... yawn ... the only thing he did wrong was get caught. I don't condone it, but they still had to play the games. The cheating didn't make them Super Bowl champions.

     

    And it's not like he only won a Super Bowl or two. Does he win all those Super Bowls without Brady? Likely not. But how many would Bill Walsh have won without Montana? I know it's taboo to acknowledge greatness when it comes to the Patriots*, but as a fan of football (not just a fan of the Bills) I can appreciate how great of an organization they are.

  11. Anyone who thinks Parcells is overrated knows very little about either coaching or football. Parcells greatest talent was assembling staffs - one of the hardest things to get right. He's the guy who found Belichick and promoted him from within. Belichick would be nothing without him. He's also the guy who hired Tom Coughlin, who obviously went on to great success. There are a lot of other great hires he made over the years too. He's the guy who took over five sorry franchises and turned them all into contenders in short order: the Giants, the Pats, the Jets, the Cowboys, and the Dolphins. People forget that the teams he took over were horrible before he arrived. The Pats were 2-14 and the Dolphins and Jets were both 1-15.

    Parcells led Dallas to a cumulative 34–32 record and no playoff wins.

    The Dolphins have made the playoffs once since 2007, when he "worked his magic." And I think we can all agree that was a fluke season.

     

    In no way am I saying he wasn't a very good coach. I'm just saying he's not even in the "best ever" discussion and there are a lot of coaches, past and present, who are were/are far better.

  12. That would have depended on two things happening; first obviously is drafting Brady. Second is playing Brady. There's a very big question about whether Brady would have gotten a shot under Parcells. Parcells had a strong preferrence for veterans and he liked Bledsoe. And it stands to reason that with a different head coach, the stars would not have aligned to allow Mo Lewis to knock Bledsoe's lungs into the 3d row during that September 2001 game.

     

    Add all that up and you probably have a healthy Bledsoe continuing to get the Pats into the playoffs but highly questionable about them winning a SB, much less 3.

    Excellent point. Parcells loved him some Bledsoe. And he was too old-school to let a vet lose his job to injury.

  13. Well, we will have to respectfully agree to disagree then gug's.

     

    Can he fall forward for a yard or two for a first down? Yes. Is there anything that he can do in the backfield that couldn't be done equally as well by EJ Manuel (and he can throw too), CJ Spiller, or Fred Jackson? I would argue no. With regard to depth at WR, I would rather keep around guys like Brandon Kaufmann or Chris Hogan. If he is being kept around for his special teams prowess alone....it would be a tough sell for me (if I were Russ Brandon) to keep Smith around for that kind of coin.

     

    In any event, I don't want to turn this into yet another Brad Smith thread. I will say, however, that if he makes the 53 man roster, I wouldn't cry and stomp my feet. If he were to get released, I wouldn't cry and stomp my feet.

    I don't know why, but I just really like the guy. I won't be surprised, nor will I stomp my feet, if he's to be released. I think I like his selflessness and his attitude more than his actual on-field production. You're right ... not another Brad Smith thread!!!
