If Tom Brady retires and goes into politics as a strong conservative, gets elected to the Senate, then the presidency, the last two decades of his bitchslapping of the Bills will have been worth it. The icing on the cake will be all the liberal buttnutts in Massachusetts having their heads explode. I've already used that angle on some liberal Pats fans (one of whom was on this "all men are part of the problem" kick 5 years ago), its priceless. TB is a conservative, what's that like for you? Global warming? What's the $%$#ing carbon footprint of Tom Brady's team? Bob Kraft is a huge Trump supporter, and TB12 loves the guy. I wonder what he would think of you?? It's kind of fun.

Visited your beautiful country a couple years back. Sydney is an awesome city, stayed down in the Rocks district, Bondi (sp), Blue Mountains, etc.

Thanks for the follow up. I appreciate the nod to the speculative nature of your reply. I'll look into this a bit more. Interesting stuff.

You have to give them credit as group. The guy takes the shot, goes out before he hits the ground, and there is one of his revolutionary brothers to try and drag him away. They are like a colony of filthy sandal wearing ants, moving to and fro and carrying their injured and dead to places unknown but likely reeking of stale weed and body odor.

Out with it lad.

I agree with you on the whole, but agree with the OP about the general content of his post. Inconsistent officiating makes the game often unwatchable. First, the phrase "they let 'em play" is the worst thing that ever happened to the NFL. It implies a sliding scale exists on what is a penalty, what is not a penalty, what is a penalty and will not be called, and what is not a penalty but might actually be called as such. In other words, they make it up as they go along. In this case, "they let 'em play" implies they let the action go, but that didn't actually happen. They let it go, until inconceivably, with 11 minutes left in a game where points were at a premium, the official decided to throw a flag snuffing momentum and taking a first and 10 to a very low percentage 1st and 20 play. Were left to wonder why a flag was thrown there v any other play during the course of the game. You're correct that it was not the only cause of the loss, but it was a huge part of that particular game. When you line up the way the breaks went over the last couple weeks, it's fair to suggest more than a few favored NE. From the Welker muffed punt, the non-existent roughing the passer play against KC, the holding call on LA (while NE was penalized a total of 3 times in 60 minutes with holding, as they say, every play). Heck, you can argue the missed call against NRC two weeks back benefited the pats as much as it did the rams, since the true likely winner of the NFC was not in the SB if the officials made what may have been one of the most obvious calls in the history of mankind. I was enjoying the game until the holding call, weighed out the relative likelihood of that call being necessary and reasonable to call, assumed in a 3-3 game it was potentially huge, and came to the conclusion that the flag was a bad one. At that point I lost interest. Of course I might have been drawn back in had another innocuous hold been called in subsequent series by the Pat's, if only because there was holding on subsequent series by the Pat's, but by then the officials were back to the "let 'em play" version. One last thing, I was reminded of the Falcons/NE SB, and one of the turning points. Ryan drops to pass, the receiver and dback were engaged in what looked like a ju jitsu match all the way down the sideline and the pass was incomplete. It seemed obvious someone was doing something to someone, but "let em play" was applied there and it was silly. Call the penalties consistently and you actually make the officials job quite a but easier.

It must be sad though, being alone and all.

i found a copy of your crib notes. I know you had these locked and loaded just in case: 1. They both wear clothes. That was my comparion. 2. They both use have been stuck in NYC traffic. That was my comparison. 3. They both cried when Leo died in Titanic. That was my comparison. Sometimes when you make a comparison, and someone else calls you on it, you should take the hit to improve your credibility.

I'm sorry Doc, but you're wrong. If you choose to support Northams comments, such is your right in America. However, assuming that folks who believe that life begins at conception, or the many of us who get queasy about snuffing a life much after 3 months, need conservative media to wind us up about taking life at 7..8..or 9 months, well, you have not been paying attention.

There is no need for you to feel humbled, you're the aggrieved party that was bullied by all Catholic boys and girls in high school. Whatever abuse you suffered at the hands of those children must have been horrible. Its absolutely reasonable to speak to the history of the church, abuse scandals, but your limitations are pretty obvious. The history of the church parallels the history of humans, so there is little to be gained by living a life steeped in negativity and hatred. At some point you have to exceed your own expectations, shake it off and move on. The forgiveness was for me, I can't control your response. I hope you find peace. When I was in junior high, somebody flipped my books while I was walking up the stairs, and as I bent down to pick them up, a guy wearing clogs stepped on my hand. He was a big cat, and the clogs were made of wood (not like this plastic crocs you young kids wear these days), and the pain was intense. I won't lie, I hated Nederlanders for a long time after that, but ultimately made my peace. I no longer hate the Dutch. I am also happy that you and your friend McD have the internet at your disposal. There was a time that people like you had no outlet for your shared fetish. Have a blessed day.

I'm Catholic. I forgive you.

I've never actually seen an act of canibalism, but I feel like it would look like this.

Paper causes heart disease in lab rats. Soon you will drink with your fingers but you will save the planet and lab rats.

I was serious in saying I wasn't familiar with the reference, and while i thought your reply was sort of odd I really don't take much personally here. I mean it may be personal when WWinP responds, he may indeed think I'm a redneck, but that's his business, not mine. I don't care. Anyway, I now know the reference and wish I did not. Damn you, row_33, damn you to hell. ? Foxx, all good my man.

Again, watching NBC news this am I know that 130,000 people signed a petition requesting maroon 5 not play at the SB. 130,000 would sign a petition against drinking water. Yet, in the past week not one mention of sex trafficking rings near the White House.

If mine was littered with all the women I have dated, I would not even face a fine. I do have The Lord I my side, so there is that. ?

Oprah is one of the most widely recognized faces on the planet, with a media empire that spans the globe. No one, no victim, no do-gooder with a guilty conscience...no one passed along any concerns confidentially after she visited him? There were no warning signs before she visited, no investigation by her people that uncovered any hint of a problem?

This is going to cause liberal heads to explode. It goes ike this: Law enforcement is inherently corrupt and biased don't trust law enforcement take to the streets omg collusion corruption law enforcement rocks this is the best day ever this time we got him this time we got him this time we definitely got him....holy crap we may not have him law enforcement is good but bad but good but bad.....

You're one strange tater tot. A female can terminate the life of a child anywhere, any place, and time. No must, no fuss, anytime, any place anywhere. In this regard you are the mayor-elect of Sodom and Gommorah. At the same time, you want to hang society's moral baggage on someone who often had nothing to do with conception beyond being in the wrong at the wrong time. In this regard you're the moral majority. Then you swing back one more time and let the guy off the hook if he doesn't want to spend his bar mitzvah money to do the right thing.

One more question. I can't call a woman who aborts a child a "mother" for obvious reasons (and it's odd to me that you do, but whatevs), but when a woman actually does become a mother, what are your thoughts on the father and fiscal responsibility? If he prefers not to be involved, and actually preferred the mother abort the child, should he be compelled to contribute financially? And come to think of it, is abortion/death after abortion is the end result, does he have an obligation to pay/assist with expenses.

I don't know what that means. I mean I get all the words individually, but strung together I'm not sure.

I'm only offering my opinion. Your latest message validates what I think. When the terrorists his the WTC, Pentagon and Pennsylvania on 9/11, many people able to empathize with more than 2 or 3 people impacted. I don't see it as an either/or issue with the mother/family v unborn child. In fact I think you have to work extra hard to view it as a Texas Death Match. You already said I was not soul-less, and I agreed. You were right here, take a victory lap. Again, you do know something about her. I assume you were not in Gym Class with Jeffrey Dahmer. Do you have an opinion on him? Come to think of it, he really only murdered people who may never have been alive had Trans law been in effect.

1. When a person lacks empathy it can be a sign of sociopathic tendencies. I personally can't square your thoughts on full term children and ending their lives. My impression is on that issue is you lack empathy, hence my opinion about tendencies. 2. Apologies as you did not say I was souless. You were correct, I am not souless 3. You don't know Kathy Tran, but you know her words and what she believes about the termination of the lives of children at the moment of birth. I do as well. To you, she may be a hero to the cause. To me, she is reprehensible.

I said you may have sociopathic tendencies. I was being honest with my analysis, but I'm no psychiatrist. You said I was soulless, or could be considered as such because I was against extingushing life because someone might be having a panic attack while going through labor, or comparing those who would terminate the life of a child at/near or after the birth of the child. One more thought on this. If a woman was hemmoraging due to a late term complication, and the choice would be between saving the child or saving the mother, I could understand the difficult decision that would have to be made. I believe those decisions are already made, and the family goes on to grieve regardless of the outcome. I've been blessed with the woman in my life being strong, tough and of strong character. I believe each one would willingly sacrifice their lives in that situation, and in at least one case that amazing woman saw it through. She survived, the baby did not. In my case, the doctors were quite insistent that one of my children might have significant health issues based on sonogram (ultrasound, whatever) reading a and suggested alternatives to ending the pregnancy. That option was contrary to our views, and late on my wife had a major health issue and it seemed fairly clear the baby would not survive the night. 21 years later we remain incredibly lucky and grateful to have him healthy and happy in our lives. Here's the thing on that...or situation does not color the way I look at choices others might make, but I am grateful to have a strong, decent and amazing woman in my life. Not all are as strong, decent or amazing. Kathy Tran, for example.

You're probably right about some pro-life people feeling the way they feel. You would have to talk with them more to figure out what's behind their thought process. I can see the opposite side to a point, and feel pretty comfortable navigating that path and having rational discussions on termination of pregnancies. I pass no judgement on termination of pregnancy when reasonable in spite of my own beliefs. Rather, what judgement I might pass I keep to myself. I admit to being stunned by anyone supporting terminating the life of a child in the last trimester for mental health issues. I always believed that most people are pro-life at some point, save the crazy few who would perform late term abortions for profit. I was mistaken. There are apparently many people who support taking the life of a fully developed child who's only crime is the being om the wrong side of the flesh separating them from the outside world. There are many people who actually celebrate the notion of championing the right of the vessel and the vessels medical surrogates to terminate life once the child is born. As for your perspective, in many cases, I'll listen and try to learn from you. In this case, though, if you see no difference between a fertilized egg and a baby in the third trimester being snuffed, there is no middle ground to find and if you see me as the soulless monster, I can live with it.
