On 2nd thought - it was too bold. I made it softer, so you will need to reload images to see the new version. Much less distracting.

pressing a radio button is easier than typing. plus, it would be consistant in appearance.

although I don't think I am ambitious enough right now, it would be conceivable to write a hack that filtered out any thread that contained the "OT" icon.... If anyone wants a project in PHP... there you go. It would involve modifying the query to view the main board, storing a value in the member's table, and adding a setting in the CP (with associated html).

I'm not sure if this icon (as ugly as it is) would be a better solution than [OT] in the subject line. Whaddya think?

Let me just say upfront that what should be in a blog and what should be posted here will be the single most difficult thing to define. Actually, I don't think it could be defined. this entire area is gray and I doubt there is little black or white. I think there was a time when a post like this could have had the potential to lead to an epic "I'm a horrible human being" thread. My guess is that blogs should be geared towards particular people as opposed to specific posts. I mean, if BlueFire does not have a history of these type of threads, then a blog doesn't make sense. However, if someone has the need to regularly contribute items like this - then a blog makes sense. Yes?

to say you need to grow up is an understatement. You talk in terms of what this guy should be forced to do and I talk in terms of what he should do - w/o a court order. You see a man being hurt - I see a child who has no say in the matter. He has a child that needs care. It doesn't matter how it happened. Sometimes life is about what doing the right thing, not the convenient thing. If anything, he should be suing for custody from this psycho. and, if I am allowed to moralize a bit more, stuff like this doesn't happen when you are married and committed to your spouse. There is more to morality than someone just wanting to be a wet blanket on your fun.

I'm a bit surprised at the comments, but maybe I'm just the oddball here. Obviously, this is one wacked out story that once again proves that truth is stranger than fiction. With that said - there is an innocent child here that needs to be raised. That article didn't really go into details, but no matter how fricked up the conception was - he needs to deal with it properly and provide support. You don't punish the child because the mother is a psycho.

Hmmm... I must have missed "opposite day". You meant to say he bobbled everything he touched - right?

to sum up the guys on the radio: "Great. We traded a 1st RD draft pack for a guy who played 2 years and who will now cost us $9M in a cap hit just because he doesn't want to play here anymore, so that we can bring in Peter Warrick Lite. This is a good idea?"

well, it's not Hogboy.... those were the "BLT Killings"...

is that Chuck Lester?

the Skin's are getting crucified for this proposed deal on the radio... Moss said that Portis told him WEEKS ago that this might happen. Talk radio wants to know how Portis knows this and if he is the shadow GM these days. Skins would take a $9M hit to do this....

look for the yellow caps!

since you shared that Russian vodka with me - I'll let that slide....

one person's dream is another person's nightmare...

Not everyone uses an ipod, so it really isn't that far fetched - but thanks for the support!

Last year I got 60 codes. It was very thoughtful for posters to take their time to send me those. It was a nice distraction shopping for some music as I just started doing the whole iTunes/MP3 thing. I have received 1 so far and if that is all I get - I'll be equally thankful for that one. I presume with the exploding popularity of the ipod that many people probably have closer friends than me to give the codes to this year as opposed to last year. Still, if there are some out there that are going unused - I might as well ask...

I did this last year and quite a few Pepsi drinkers offered their iTunes codes to me instead of throwing them away.... Thank you very much! They are running the promotion again, so I thought I would ask again for unused codes. If you have them and don't want them - I would love a chance to use them. Please PM any codes you may have. TIA!

sue for harrassment and retire like a REAL American...

those pics are a bit disappointing.

do you want him in the act of punting so you get a good crotch shot?

I would love to have that back, but I would need new photos and a lot of help with photoshop getting them in the right format. It can be very tedious outlining everyone and we would really need about 50-100 of them, so that they don't get too repetitive.

back to the original topic - I changed it to WM. I'm open to other suggestions, if not WM.

it's an artifact from switching servers. I just haven't had time to switch it back.

They better watch closely because if either of those guys gets cut - it just might get overlooked....
