I didnt say he didnt know it was wrong, I said "growing up you dont know its wrong because thats what everyone around you is doing - and then you dont associate it with wrong" - that was not speaking to mike vick, that was speaking to urban blacks in poverty stricken areas where it is quite prevalent - your correct Vick went to great lengths to cover up his operations/distance himself from it.... killing dogs in a terrible crime, but to say he shouldnt be able to raise a child because of it? get over yourself Mother Theresa

too "double chinny" for me

I dont HATE the one game format, but I think a best of three would make the most sense (and think this is where they will be headed), it adds an extra four days to the playoffs (start a day or two earlier in april or tweak the schedule and problem solved) and will eliminate any nonsense with that said, Im gonna have to disagree about the bad call...it was a LATE call, but I think the ump called the rule as it should have been called, the shortstop was set up under the ball (he wasent, but thats certainly what it looked like to the ump) so thats IFR....flip side, say the ump didnt call it and the runners got doubled up, their would be outcries on the opposite side of the call....the bottom line is the braves had ample opportunity to win that game outright (chipper with the costly error, leaving RISP on more than two occasions late in the game)...they just didnt get it done

AND I was simply shedding some light on a sensitive subject that many people dont know about...many were shocked and appalled that people could do such things with animals, when it happens all the time Vick got a more severe punishment for his offenses because of his stature as a celebrity and was "made an example of", NY Times article written a few months after the beginning of Vick's incarceration provided supporting evidence from dog fighting convictions in the previous years where the guilty parties got as little as probation for similar offenses (most had heavy fines, community service, and at MOST 6 to 8 months of jail time) - looking to link article if still archived Vick has done a lot of good to shed light on the practice of dog fighting and seems to be truly making a difference around the horrific practice, but in the end, yes your right, his punishment says he shouldnt have a dog, so he is in the wrong, great comparing that to a child molester being allowed near a school is not even in the same ballpark BTW, but obviously your cousin lacks intelligence (he IS an eagles fan after all) to point that out to you

dog fighting is very prevalent among inner city, poverty stricken areas (Especially in the african american community), im not saying its right (its horrific), but if thats what you grow up doing - parents, family, friends, community - you dont associate it with being wrong - with that said, most people who fight dogs actually own dogs as their pets as well, they simply have "fighting dogs" and their "pets"... im not trying to defend the guy for dog fighting, its wrong and terrible, but it occurs every single day and its a different way of viewing animals for MANY people, not just Mike Vick

give the little freak the chair not to be insensitive, just how I feel about sick people like that...shouldnt be able to just kill two (family members!!!!) innocent people

you dont blitz brady...that gets you smoked early and often, you get to brady through your regular four or five man pass rush (use stunts and you HAVE to beat your one on ones) wanny is stupid, but not bc of lack of blitz, its because we played in the nickel the whole game and REACTED rather than ACTED

he did have a huge party at the white house, and one where "commoners" were invited and were passed out drunk on the front lawn

he was originally The Law, and then becomes the Lone Ranger b/c of family tragedy (pretty sure)

Stevie will finish this year with just as good stats as the previous two...hes already getting his TDs what we need is Fitz to throw him the ball ACCURATELY! Stevie is open, ive been to half the games live watching from the nosebleeds (where you see it all develop), and Stevie simply GETS OPEN...and then Fitz underthrows him and its an incompletion...im not a Fitz hater (but kind of getting there), but he needs to make good throws consistently, im not saying 60 yard bombs accurately, but the 8 yard outs, the 5 yard slants, the posts and the back shoulder throws, for the love of god, get it to the man and yes, Chandler is beast and will finish with at least one TD im getting more confident in our chances on Sunday

already told Wifey about my blunder - shes not the type to care - and she said "as long as I still get my free dessert" haha....ill just tell the waiter at the table its my beautiful wifes birthday and they will make it all good.... heard bottles of wine are way marked up there, kind of unfortunate but expected (just not a 35 dollar markup as one reviewer has pointed out)

couldnt agee more, Colsaerts was the brick wall that Tiger ran into...he played great, Tiger played dam good too... and yes, Mahan not being out there with how well he played this year is questionable at best....

lots of good ole american political humor in this thread...bunch of nerds on TBD, I like it

yeaaaaa they asked me when I made reservations if it was a special occassion and I stupidly said "no" (I hate when rest. do corny ass things, but obviously they werent going to, their a nice place so im an idiot) and id feel like even more of an idiot If I call back and say "sooooo, I said it wasent a special occassion when I made my res. and now im calling to say it is a special occasion" haha, sooooo dam, maybe ill just say it to the waiter?

Anyone been to Tempo in buffalo? Its where they took Mario Williams to woo him here Going Friday night for my wifes birthday, wondering if anyone has any suggestions (other than dont go because its redic. expensive) Thanks!

hey man, dont diss Biodome like that....wasent there a Baldwin in there?

hahahahaha, yessss!!! post of the day

shepp. wasent off the field ONLY because he cant cover Gronk...he was off the field because we were in that stupid nickel/4-1-6 BS the entire game... yes it was an idiotic gameplan that BOTH wanny and Chan are sticking by....this is why the ship is sinking...

id feel pretty good...not pretty good about losing two division games, but pretty good about being 500...if we can stick close to 500 for the next 5 weeks we have a good shot at making the playoffs (provided Wanny pulls his head outta his ass and relearns how to coach aggressive defense, and the players perform, and Fitz limits his mistakes and noodle throws) because the end of the schedule is pretty tasty

THIS you cant put your players in unwinable situations and expect good results of course many of our players looked like dog **** your down lineman cant create pressure when the QB has multiple options open right at the snap of the ball (not that they are off the hook, there was ample opportunity for them to get pressure and failed miserably) your linebackers cant make tackles (Shep - 0 ) when they are SITTING ON THE BENCH FOR 90 PERCENT OF THE GAME Wanny so far has blown

and we played terrible for most of the third quarter as well... and then you have the terrible first game (you cant say first half, because the game was in the bag and the Jets were just going through the motions in the second half when we "started to play good") and then inconsistencies even during our wins against average to bad teams.... you can call it whatever you want, but were 2-2 and 0-2 in the division a quarter way through....all we can do is keep tuning in and see how it plays out

I completely agree, no flaming away here....Wanny needs to step the F up or be shipped the F out....I dont even care if we play street ball with no coordinator (I know, unrealistic) for the rest of the year, it would be better than what has happened thus far on the defensive side of the ball.... like you said, yes the players deserve SOME blame, but what the hell has Wanny been thinking thus far? maybe he truly does not know the NFL game anymore...

thanks
