    ;):w00t:

     

    You forgot to add the last stanzas:

     

    See Joe Sr.

    See Joe Sr. cry

    Cry Joe Sr. cry!

     

    See Joe Sr.

    See Joe Sr. die

    Die Joe Sr. die!

     

    :doh::blink:

     

     

    But in all reality... Who is one of the few living Kennedy boys of Joe Sr.? Teddy. All the others were protected by Joe. Near the end of daddy Joe's life, Teddy got into this trouble. Joe couldn't keep it under raps. Teddy had to literally "sink or swim" (pun intended)... He swam without the protection of dad.

     

    Name all the other "dead Kennedy's"... Only one stands out for not be obsessively protected by the patriarch... And somehow he survives.

     

    Even John Jr. was protected (Jackie).

     

    Isn't this the biggest indictment against Kennedy liberalism/elitism? You can only "steer" your kids down the right path... They have to deal with their choices themselves... Protecting them to the bitter end only handcaps them in the end.

     

    Just my $.02. (Even if it seems like a lot the past few days! :lol: )

     

    0:)

  2. And he only speaks English.

     

    Ever try blending into a foreign country where you don't speak the language?   :doh:

    559470[/snapback]

     

     

    Ya...just keep your mouth shut?

     

    You don't think he would get the benefit of doubt? Aren't there many Iraqi ex-patriots and kids that don't speak Arabic?

     

    All he has to do is tell his true story... Say (or somehow convey it) that is parents are from Iraq. :lol::lol:

     

    I'd have no problem sending my son (born in Indiana) to a Bills game... He would assimilate perfectly... Even if he didn't get "drunkenese."

     

    The above was just a joke... And has nothing to do with any others. It was intended as a joke towards us as Bills fans.

     

    But, go on and believe that a youth with German roots that came from Rhinelander, Wisconsin could ever pull this off.

     

    :lol::P

  3. No team has ever made it to the Super Bowl unless it was within 2 wins of best record in the conference.  NE would have to become the 1st.  The stats show a perfect 78 for 78 using this method to eliminate teams.  It will be 80 for 80 after this year & NE will not make it to the Super Bowl.

    559403[/snapback]

     

    That doesn't bode well because somebody has go to break that strike... Nothing stays at 100%.

     

    And the Pats are pefect contenders to do that.

     

    :doh::lol:

  4. I think this is the story the monkey is referring to:

     

    US teen runs off to Iraq

     

    "Given his heritage, Hassan could almost pass as Iraqi. His father's background helped him secure an entry visa, and native Arabs would see in his face Iraqi features and a familiar skin tone. His wispy beard was meant to help him blend in."

    559435[/snapback]

     

     

    Exactly!

     

    My point without even reading the story and catching a glimps on the tube.

     

    But again, if people like CTM want to believe that "anyone" can assimilate and be safe... Be damned, anyone can! :lol::lol:

     

    I find it ironic because this is the same HotPocket mentality that certain posters "claim" to rail against. Go figure!

     

    :doh::lol:

  5. I think I read something about this. If it's the same one, then the kid in question was an American of Iraqi descent so no, he wasn't likely to have been a "blonde, blue-eyed Nordic" looking kid. In any event, just because one person manages to do it doesn't mean it's safe for everyone - he could just have been very lucky. Given all the hostake-taking that is going on, you'd have to have a deathwish to try it.

    559422[/snapback]

     

    Exactly!

     

    My point wasn't a ethnic one... It was to point out that he did fit in with the culture better. I am not saying that is okay or not... He would have had a really hard time if he didn't have any Iraqi roots and stuck out like a sore thumb.

     

    But, if all want to believe that a 16 year old American can do it... All can! :lol::lol:

     

    I think Tom is smarter than that and gets the spin he put on it?

     

    I meant no disrepect towards anyone or their ethnicity. Please except my apology if I offended anyone.

     

    :doh:

  6. Buddy is one of my all time favorites, but at this point, I would settle for any DC who does not line his defensive ends up 50 feet off of the ball; this with weak defensive tackles.

     

    I was all for TD leaving, but he was great imo when compared to Gray, who is literally as bad as it gets.

    559434[/snapback]

     

    See my NE thread post... "Buddy Ball" and the 46 D was quickly figured out... Unfortunately Miami never made it to the '85 SB.

     

    Jerry Gray played for that team... Heck I don't want Buddy Ryan!

  7. NE got to the SB in 85, winning all 3 games on the road.

    559429[/snapback]

     

    Whith destiny setting up a re-match between a Miami squad that beat Chicago earlier that year on Monday night for the Bears' only loss... A Miami squad that knew the answer to the "46 D" is through the long arm of a QB. Don't get me wrong I still would have been rooting for the Bears ove MIA! :doh: It would have been a fun game if it weren't for "Caption HorseCollar" (Steve Grogan) and the fluke in the Orange Bowl!

     

    One thing I gotta admit, Chicago ain't St. Louis (seems every major Boston/NE team busted out of their championship slump against St. Louis: Celtics, Bruins, Patriots, and Red Sox!) and will always own Boston/NE teams!

  8. :lol:  :P  :lol:  Someone needs to tell Williams that a 16-year old kid just toured Baghdad on his own outside the "Green Zone" with no ill effects.  "Within minutes..."  :lol:  Williams, as usual, has NO clue what he's talking about. 

     

    Can't wait for the book.

    559397[/snapback]

     

    And was that kid a "blonde, blue-eyed Nordic" looking kid? What kinda shoes he was wearing? :doh::lol:

     

    I wonder what he looked like and what his family ancestory was?

     

    Heck... I grow a beard and people at work lay into me with terrorist jokes.

  9. Yeah, the players didn't want to win.  Pure genius.

     

    You provide keen insight into the minds and hearts of the professional athlete.

    559382[/snapback]

     

    They didn't "adapt and overcome."

     

    As much as I love the 1990's Bills... They fell into that trap also... You fall into the mindset that "You execute and nobody can beat you"... You are sure to lose the big ones!

     

    This is a game for mudders and mutts... Not the pedigree!

  10. Nah, Pats are just fine.

     

    It's your Bills that truly look like a 4-12 team.

    558763[/snapback]

     

    No need to get defensive. Even Pats fans feel the disrespect.

     

    I think PTR meant the Jags look 4-12... Not the Pats... But, that is just my reading comprehension.

     

    :D:unsure:

  11. Ok, lemme modify my feelings. its a bull sh-- rule. why are endzone rules so f'ed up? the ball can be OB and you can score, but a guy catches a pass, gets 2 feet down, a knee down, and drops it when his chest hits the ground, and its not a TD?

    558608[/snapback]

     

    In this case the ball was moving and he was also going down when the catch was being made. He didn't catch it cleanly. He could have caught it cleanly, carried it in then have the ground lose it and it WOULD HAVE COUNTED.

     

    Like anywhere on the field, if the ball is moving... You can't trap it. It is in the act of a catch.

     

    And it is clear the ball was "Still being caught" when it touched the ground.

  12. Brusky is half retared, he was popping roids in his college and HS days and most likely early in the pros.  That look a like Chips Cop piece of garbage!

    558753[/snapback]

     

    Maybe not early... Most likely until he popped a vessel in his bulbous head. A stroke in such a young athelete seems so 'roid related.

     

    How do you even broach the subject without being labled "Anti-Bruschi." It is the perfect farces... Kinda like politicians using disabled kids to their financial advantage. You don't dare question someone or one's love of kids, "patriotism" or "Bruschism" will surely take a hit!

     

    We will never know.

     

    The one thing that I feel good for him is, maybe the stroke was God's wake up call... Not to pop 'em.
