  1. I think I prefer the nitwitery of Chelsea Handler to the Taylor Swiftesque angst of Meghan McCain. She loved her father, fine, but this extended family thing is nauseating. And very little screams “I need more attention!” quite like a tweet imploring the twitter crowd to stop judging her for publicly announcing her devotion to a US Senator.
  2. I think there is something refreshingly honest about the NFLs transparency on head-scratching, mind-numbing and soul-crushing phantom calls the day after they impact the outcome of the game.
  3. Women women, or women who were born with non-women parts who were actually women women all along, or women born with women parts who have always been men but some might see them as women?
  4. Really? In today's NFL, guys celebrate sacks with chest pounding celebrations often when down by 21 points. When you see the mic'd up segments the players are frequently talking back and forth. The only issue with Shaq's performance should be that his choreography channeled some alternate version of Irish step dancing, it was like watching a scene from "Riverdance" with not an Irishman in sight. McDermott is likely furious or touched by the tribute. Maybe both.
  5. Well, you were really dumb at the time but sweet fancy Moses upon reflection you're very smart.
  6. Yes, and Yes. And you?
  7. It seems to me that journalists/reporters are all about breaking news, rarely about the impact on individuals, businesses and families. At the same time, they seem to be, on occasion, some of the softest people in the world.

  10. I met with a gentleman yesterday nearing the end of his life due to pancreatic cancer. He was a pretty big guy in his prime, not so much anymore, told me the pain was very bad. We’ve lost family members to it, and it is a bad, bad road.
  11. When you think about it, a lot of the good Tom’s are dead. Jefferson, Clancy...Petty. Heck I even think McAn has kicked off.
  12. The question posed by Scarborough would have been fair two or three election cycles ago had he been positioned as the front runner. "On his game" implies he had a presidential game at one point, and it's fair to say he never had one. Ever. On the other hand, Hillary Clinton...she had faults as a candidate. Putting aside the totality of her career in politics and enabling of her husband, her allies described her as reckless with national security. The president who's coattails she was supposed to ride could not not address the issues. Yet, she was THE chosen. When careless and reckless with national security issues is at the top of your resume from the perspective of your friends, and millions flock to vote for you, you have to wonder what impact things like confusion and memory issues would have on a candidate for president. I think the plan is to carry him through the election, a year or so in he develops a medical condition and bravely steps aside to allow the vp to become the first female vp to ascend to the presidency. One sidebar. Watching the alternate angle video posted above, he looks substantially younger when he smiles than he does when he is not. Smiling, a vibrant guy 70-80 years old. Listening and processing 80-90.
  13. Lets not forget Mulva. You can't go around calling a woman Mulva and not expect to get doinked with your own helmet.
  14. The question is poorly framed. That has not changed. I had a mentor once, a person I look up to in my field, and I called to get some feedback many years back. I opened with all the issues I had with the company we worked with, the delays, the confusion, whatever. I then asked for some feedback on team building and some of the concerns I had with the attitude of my team. To paraphrase, he replied "With due respect, great southern rocker, I listened to what you said and have to ask you: Have you considered how what you say and how you say it impacts your own team and the way they look at their day with you?". The interesting part about that experience was that to whatever extent I've been successful in life, my ability to read, interact and harmonize with people has been a big part of that success. I frequently encounter people with opposing views, listen respectfully and respond in kind. I'd suggest that part of your problem in this particular forum is due in part to your own limitations and bias. Heck, you even chose to make a point of contention on the factual, indisputable argument that Congress is divided on the impeachment issue. I didn't even point out the obvious: Congress is divided over the moral and ethical question of "wrong". I guess in the end, one man's horse**** is another man's innocent quest for clarity. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
  15. I’ve been nothing but respectful toward you and interpret your posts as I believe you intend them. I can interpret my own post and intent because I wrote it, but I believe your initial post was poorly framed as I do not know what “wrong” you were referring to. I think part of your problem was you personalized it by making it about Trump, you referenced wrong and impeachable in the same sentence, and clarity was an issue. I think you’re wrong on the freedom loving Americans down here, and as for consensus in Congress I agree, but I was speaking not as a partisan but from a position of pure objectivity on impeachment. Have a blessed day my friend.
  16. EARMUFFS! I find your language offensive, or would if I did not swear like a longshoreperson myself. But a reminder that Tibsy, Busey and jrobers may all have a snow day today. Let’s put impeachable to the side for a moment, there seems to be ample evidence an objective person would be able to look at the political landscape right now and acknowledge there is no consensus there. As for “wrong”, are you asking if the overly simplistic fact pattern you outlined is morally wrong, wrong from a legal perspective and are you speaking in political terms? For instance, I thought it wrong that Trump inserted himself into the NFL controversy with players kneeling. I did not think it an impeachable offense. I also thought it wrong of Trump to make comments about John McCain as a POW, but given the political nature of the dispute between the two, McCains own pettiness and the fact that he was just another fat cat politician engorging himself at public trough, context was important to me. I would agree that if Trump was a Russian spy, working in the interests of the Russians, to destroy our country as suggested by many of your people, that would constitute an impeachable offense and I would consider it “wrong”.
  17. Your question was poorly framed, thus answering it seemed silly.
  18. I believe....and I may be wrong here..we get the tiebreaker over the dolphins if need be.

  20. I don't spend much time watching TV anymore, but I'm on vacation and was flipping through and caught part of Tucker Carlson's show last night. He showed the surveillance clip of the FBI in tactical gear raiding Stone's house, and mentioned the CNN tipoff prior to the daring night time raid. He juxtaposed it with the Epstein arrest, the care with which courtesy was extended and civility considered for that guy. I understand commentators will make false comparisons, that one issue might be a federal case, another being pursued on a state level, but the comparison is pretty striking. You have the left tossing their collective salad celebrating the tyranny of government, thus emboldening the tyrants further. Hell if 50% of the citizenry are apathetic at best, or masturbatory voyeurs of a tactical SWAT style raid on a political opponent that everyone in America knew was being targeted for arrest by the Comey-tainted FBI, what's next? This was tactical oppression designed to perpetuate political suppression.
  21. I think the whole shebang backfires like a mofo. The point isn’t Russian assistance, or payoffs to the ladies—the point is he paid his taxes! ::patriot emoji::
  22. Nah. Screw patience. I’m enjoying the ride, albeit with occasional bouts of motion sickness. I’m spending my money on Bills tickets, Sunday Ticket, and some gear. I see improvement, that’s all I really care about.
  23. Seems fairly obvious to me that, when taking all factors into account, the 32 teams that chose the road more traveled made the right call all along. Dear Major Bobby, Some fans likely hate him. Some fans likely don't like him. Some fans likely like him, and some fans likely like LIKE him. Signed, Human Nature
