Rob's House

Why?

You need to keep hiring a new HC every year until you find one who wins.

I've had enough of all the EJ bashing. Just because he sucks doesn't mean you have to bash him. Jeez. Edit: In all seriousness, I'm still not sold on EJ, but he's played well enough to deserve to be the man under C. I wouldn't trade a back up punter for RG3. He actually does suck.

Is that why you look to the employer for justice? So you can get your revenge fix without having to be burdened with due process?

I have 2 opinions: 1. AP is a POS 2. Anyone actively trying to end his career is an even bigger POS.

Looks like SD will be w/o their starting C and RB. We should be able to tee off on Rivers.

I feel pretty confident the Bills will win, but I do feel terrified (at least to the extent I'm capable of being worried about a football game) because anything's possible and this game has huge implications for this season.

WTF are you talking about? I clearly said that if the case came across my desk I'd prosecute and ask for jail time. What exactly is it you take issue with? I don't believe you were around for the Ray Rice thing so I'll give you a pass. The argument I'm advancing is that discipline for non football related crimes should be handled by the courts and any image concerns should be dealt with by the individual teams rather than the league. Further, I don't think it is the league's responsibility or place to administer justice for the sake of justice. Again, that is for the court. I acknowledge that the NFL has a right to punish unrelated activity, I just don't think they should. The only rational reason for the NFL to administer justice is to protect its image, and if we the unenlightened masses weren't looking to the NFL for justice, it's likely they would not assume the role. A role they are ill-equipped to properly undertake.

I still live in reality with you where emotion and moralizing trump logic and practicality. Just because I espouse the virtues of the make believe world where the masses use their intellect to steer their emotions and not the other way around, doesn't mean I'm under the delusion that we're there.

My point is that fans should be more responsible in what they demand. The NFL has no desire or reason to administer justice except to placate the low IQ fans that look at the league as a judicial system. If fans didn't demand ill-conceived discipline the league would be less likely to implement it. Edit: And protecting kids from child abuse by unnecessarily hindering their parents ability to earn a living is perverse.

You missed the boat on that one. Should have taken me up on that offer last week.

I guess I'm just a little confused as to the purpose for it. Sounds like you couldn't care less about the welfare of his kids, you just want to see him suffer regardless of the collateral damage. I think it's clearly worse. Rices fiance is an adult who has some say in her situation. This child is helpless.

I was with you up until you said financial price. That sounds short-sighted to me. Why take away from his ability to support his 7 kids?

Not sure how it works in NC, but if their system is like VA's the original misdemeanor case would be held in General District Court before a judge. In those cases a conviction is still a conviction, but to get around the issue of constitutional protections the defendant has a right to appeal to the circuit court where it is heard de novo (new trial). Again, not sure about NC's court structure, but this may be what happened.

Anyone else find her acceptable for activities of a carnal nature?

No one will care in a year or two. Look at Rapelisberger

Sarcasm aside, if people really gave a soft **** about his kids they'd want to see him punished in a way that doesn't compromise his earning ability.

This is too important to leave up to the legal system. The league needs to handle this.

If I may go hip hop for a moment: If you're having girl problems I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but a B word ain't one. With so much drama in the LBC it's kinda hard being Snoop D O double G, but a, somehow, someway, I keep comin up with funky ass **** like every single day Don't call it a comeback...

Wouldn't know it from your posts.

Way down yonder on the Chattahoochie, it gets hotter than a hoochie coochie.

I agree completely. If those reports are true and it were up to me I wouldn't hesitate to prosecute the case and ask for jail time. I don't really care what the kid did. He's 4. Hey Chester, I thought I felt something gnawing on my sac.

We need some fresh outrage. We already wore out the Rice story. I'm already looking forward to next week's outrage.

Don't let the fact that no one said any of that interfere with your feelings about them saying it. I'm highly offended by all those posters who think it's okay for men to molest little boys.

He needs to accept his role as the #3 WR. The last thing we need is a WR controversy.
