Same thing I was wondering, jj.

"Puta" gets around, doesn't it? The hispanic dudes who work for me call me that all the time and they tell me it means "great chief."

I'm with THX. (I have no idea what his mistress looked like) The real question here is, were the men that Magic dated hot or not? The Bible proscribes both cheating on your wife and doin' the do with the dude next door, but it's so much more declasse` when you do it with somebody the rest of us aren't hot for.

I've listened to Rush, and he's seems to have a lot of football knowledge
Gotta give you props on your iron ears. When I'm at a stoplight next to somebody with Rush on and I overhear him for more than 30 seconds, it makes my brain bleed.

I give props to Nike for quitting the board of the Chamber of Commerce.
I also think we oughtta have a gentleman's agreement that it's uncouth to bring cyber fisticuffs from one thread into another.

Well at least this discussion has finally wobbled its way to humor. I mean, it's pretty damn (sorry, kerrycindy) ironic that this whole hullaballoo was more about some blowhard agent than The Evil Empire of Nike throwing bushels of C-notes at Vick.

They seem to be taking those Naval cadets a lot younger than they were back in the day.
Great video, Joey, thanks.

I guess I'm gonna be the cantankerous old doof here, but damn, it seems like some folks here just want to see the dark side of every possibly or seemingly noble gesture. About whom does that speak?

If you loaded .38 caliber rounds into a .357 caliber pistol and had someone fire it, you're lucky all they suffered was shock and a knock-down.

Better to fumble a kickoff for Buffalo than to score an own-goal on Columbia anyway.

I grant you I don't know from nuthin either, but I would guess that it's the team doctors who make the call about how long a player will be out, rather than the player.

Vikesfanh8sfarve, you and I strongly disagree on this particular issue. Nevertheless, it is hugely gratifying that we can have a civil discourse in spite of our differing opinions.
That being said, you are one @#^%*#!!!
Your name itself is a wee bit negative, ain't it? I'm not a huge Farve fan after all his waffling about retirement, but I don't hate the dude - don't even know him. I got a feeling if I knew him, I'd like him. That's just the Law of Averages: I like most people I know.

Give Vick a break. Lord. My immediate family consists of three dogs, and I can give him the benefit of the doubt after two years. Anybody still pitching stones must be mighty clear of conscience. Makes me wonder more about your conscience than your behavior.
Mark my words, there are going to be a lot of NFL teams later on this season wondering why they didn't have the heuvos to pick him up when he could be had for the askin'. Where's all the uproar around the Eagles' practice sessions? Only the Puritans are still panting for the gallows. Read some Nathaniel Hawthorne.

"we suck at school"
Not to be disrespectful, Folkways, but if I'd gone to that school my attendance record might've been a whole lot better than it was.

Y'all coming up with some strange-ass perspectives of this whole deal, given that nobody knows the true backstory. I gotta say though, I did laugh my ass off at THX-133's (I'm a professional numerologist, or at least I have a sister who is seriously into that stuff, and it seems to me that 133 goes better with THX than 1138) post. Peace. Buena suerta to Dirk; I've fallen for some fallen women in my time, and it ain't much fun...

Got a little ornery for a second there, for which I apologize. But here's my underlying thought on this whole subject: who is certain that they wouldn't have been the same person that Vick was, had they walked their lifetime in his shoes?

Where in the hell did the bs about Vick burning dogs come from?

yerfatma, sorry to disagree with you, but Troy Aikman drives me nuts with the extra "what" he throws into every sentence. ("He's not catching as many passes as what he did last year.")

First thing I thought of when I saw the video was Woody Hayes, too. When you're old enough that the folks that used to call you "mean", start callin' you "cranky", you should stick with the barking and give up on the biting.
Unfortunately this advice comes from first-hand experience.

Let's be honest, there are good people who become peace officers because they want to do good. There are also some under-self-esteemed mental midgets who become cops because they want to wear a badge and a gun. I was an enlisted Marine in Vietnam, and I can tell you that there are also good people in our armed forces, and people that you would never, ever want to be in a situation with in which they had more-or-less absolute authority over you.
I just bring the Marine thing into this because I'll bet a lot of the scariest dudes I knew in the Nam, either stayed in or got out and entered some other profession involving a uniform and a gun. Like I said, there are wonderful people in the peace officer profession, and in the armed forces, but when we want to give them the benefit of every doubt because they're doing a job we don't want, that's bs.
Jmho.

Drood, that takes me back to my childhood, before there was a television in (practically) every household . . . the grandparents would come down from Wisconsin, the aunts and uncles over from Indiana, and the entire family would gather around the radio to listen to the Superbowl every year. . . .
