[Hidden Content] Charges filed against man who shot into Zimmerman's truck...

Something I forget every year, and then am reminded in the playoffs, is that Marc Gasol is a really good player. I like his game a lot.

I appreciate that, on both accounts. I have some liberal in me, but I don't want to ever give the impression that I support terrorism. I want them all dead, and I want us to be the country that kills them ;)

I think it's necessary to change some to properly do that job. my hope is that I can keep some of my empathy I've developed as a teacher when I make the change.

While I believe he was involved, I don't think any part of the NFL's appeals process is fair.

I'm sorry, what?

I didn't even know you were there when it happened. Did you testify at the trial?

Yup.

So you're suggesting that the ball boys did this on their own, then sent incriminating texts back and forth in order to frame him? That being said, I think the punishment is an overreaction, but I'd put the odds of Brady not being behind this whole charade at about .01%

Thank you, sir! I definitely feel like many of the skills I use in my classroom to control crazy hoards of kids will be applicable in law enforcement :)

Smitty, this isn't a court case. Common sense and tons of circumstantial evidence is MORE than enough to suspend him with. Surely you don't think he's innocent here?

TrueBlue is Smitty? Smitty is TrueBlue? Many things make sense now!

plain old common sense. along with a ton of evidence, and this all despite the fact that Brady refused to cooperate (sure sign of innocence right there).

Finally playing a little baseball

TRUEBLUE is probably looking for a new job after getting suspended indefinitely from his dream job as a Patriots ball boy.

I'm just a short way into a long process, but I've got it started at least.

What's funny is when I tell people I just tested for PAPD, they can't believe I'd rather work there because it's "so much more dangerous out there in Port Arthur!" I try to tell them they're wrong, but they still don't believe me.

in the overall scheme of things, this isn't that big of a deal. players cheat every game in one way or another to gain an advantage. that being said, Brady and the Pats brought this on themselves by lying, denying, and refusing to cooperate. Things would've been totally different in this scenario: The colts go to the league and tell them that they think the balls are underinflated. The pats get caught with under inflated balls that very game. the media finds, out, and the $%^#storm erupts, just like it did. but when asked about it, Brady answers as follows: "Yeah, I like to have the balls a little softer, and I asked the ball guys to let a little air out. I didn't really have any idea what PSI they were supposed to have, and I thought these were still legal. Sorry guys, I wasn't intentionally trying to gain an unfair advantage. Most quarterbacks like their footballs to feel a certain way, and I've always liked mine softer. I apologize." 3 days later, $25K fine for Brady, maybe $50K for the Pats, and we never talk about it again.

the problem he has is that he completely and totally was involved in this. there's more than enough evidence to show it. I completely agree with you that it would not stand up in court, but neither would not cooperating with the investigation, which Brady and the Patriots refused to do. If he wants to take it to court, he can, but then you're going to get a lot of information come out that did not originally due to their lack of cooperation.

like I said earlier in the thread, go express it then! but don't criticize those who think it's stupid to intentionally anger terrorists just to prove a point.

No doubt Westboro is a cult, and it's members are cuckoo. which doesn't change the fact that they're following parts of the bible "to the letter" as well. I'm not sure what knowledge you think I'm lacking. I've had ten pages of this crap with you guys imparting all the wisdom i'll never need on the subject.

Murder #8 in Beaumont this year.

Since the extremists have shown a propensity to fly airplanes into buildings, it actually seems like a pretty dumb idea. But it's certainly her right to do so.

For a 36th time, I'm not comparing the two based on their crimes. I'm comparing the two based on their incorrect interpretations of their holy book. It's two different issues entirely. The point that you're making (which I've agreed with about 6 times), has absolutely nothing to do with the point I'm making. This guy misinterpreted the book and discriminated against someone. The other guy misinterpreted and killed somebody. Yes, one did something WAAAAAY worse than the other, but it's still a valid point to say that they both interpreted a book wrong. and to say so is not to say that their actions after their interpretation are equal. I'm not sure what your inability to make rational inferences from easily understandable passages of texts has to do with me having an inability to be honest with myself.

Reading comprehension... it's FUNdamental.
