Haha, that's the pic! They either pasted her head on that body or air brushed the sh*t out of her wrinkled skin and added a fake tan to boot!

Thanks for this, the entire thing looks faked. She smacks him in the side of the head and he doesn't even react! Doesn't even lift his arms as she puts him in some cheesy looking choke hold. Falls straight back as if unconscious after 5-7 seconds of the "choke hold". Stupid 15 minutes of fame.

First time GM, first time head coach. They're going to make mistakes. Kudos to Beane for stepping up. Now we need McDermott to admit he trusted his process over talent too much with Peterman

I'd have to see her in person. Probably set a world's record for amount of botox (I'm surprised she's still able to blink) and all her photos are heavily edited. Love how her face and body are two very different colors. That said, she's definitely doable.

I understand the overall color pattern is similar but the visible writing (white on black background) is clearly not the same as the ISIS flag. I'm curious about whose picture that is next to it.

Honestly I thought he looked shifty as ever but that he's lost some of his upfield burst. Love the guy so I hope I'm wrong, but he looks half a step slower this year.

-9-7 wasn't good enough Marrone's year like it was for McD to luck into the playoffs. Big deal. -Marrone inherited EJ Manual situation after Fitzpatrick was flushed and at least he was smart enough to force Whaley to get Orton year 2. -McD inherited a stable, mediocre situation with TT. And he still managed to screw it up as TT should still be here to mentor JA. -Marrone stuck working with Whaley and Russ Brandon. McD gets Beane, at least both are on same page. -McD and his Nate Peterman love. An NFL coach should know better. Marrone wouldn't have made that mistake twice, if even once. No, all things considered, Marrone was one of the best in 2 decades AROUND HERE, certainly there's no significant difference between him and McD yet. I am far happier to have McD than sour-puss Saint Marrone but let's be real here, Marrone was put in a far more difficult coaching situation WRT QB and FO.

I don't like the guy, and am glad he's gone, but Marrone is proving to be a good coach and shoots a large hole in your "best in 2 decades".

Your end of it was not a healthy discussion over time, now you're getting the nothing payback you deserve. But you keep believing it was your unrecognized genius. It's obvious you're a legend in your own mind.

Pride of Willoughby South High! Dude came back last year during KC's bye week and stayed the entire game. Class act!

You "two" caught a lot of abuse because your unrelenting Mahomes crusade was truly obnoxious, as is your demand for recognition and apologies. I was and am a Mahomes fan but said little because you are so insufferable. Please just go away.

There was value sitting Mahomes for a year, but Mahomes was going to find success regardless. It jumped off his college game film how fast he processes the game and makes quick decisions. Beyond his physical gifts. Allen will be his own guy, doubtful he ever plays as fast as Mahomes. Mayfield's the only one so far who could come close.

Allen made some terrible decisions in college, threw some EJ-type interceptions that most people seem to excuse but I cannot. I did not want to get him because of this but he seems intelligent enough, it's just going to take time with him. At this point I think he was our best option other than Mayfield, but the entire situation was botched by the FO and it will be painful this year. Agree it's absolutely stupid not to have a good veteran QB to help him.

Doubly notable given the Pats have been aggressively trying to upgrade their receivers group, even signing Gordon.

Haskins is the best NFL QB prospect OSU has had in quite some time. It'll be fun to see him against PSU. Need to see him under pressure more, but the kid's legit. Meyer's hinted he needs to evolve the offense the last couple years and I believe this is it. Much better use of their WR talent.

Do you really need to? You make significantly more money and you're not going to trust her on this one? And if you both agree on it, what happens later on if you feel she's competing or trying to one up you and she doesn't agree? You going to tell her what's what? The bigger point from the good info Hapless was giving you is that it doesn't take much to create special moments with your child, find and worry about your own efforts, not hers. Most of what kids will truly enjoy are not expensive, and it's mostly about how much you participate with them. Quality time doing things that they enjoy. My kids love the outdoors and we have so many good memories camping and going to county park programs. That stuff's free or little cost. I've told them multiple times if they want to go to Disneyland ask their mom, the mountains and outdoors is more my style. My ex frequently plans something special to do with the kids when she finds out I'm doing something like taking a trip with them. It's borne out of insecurity and you might find yourself there, also. But it gets her spending quality time and that's good for the kids. She doesn't mean it to be competitive. Plus, you can always invite the ex along for your plans if you feel that strongly about it. Your son will want his own special relationship with you based on what you do, no matter what his mom does. Focus on that, not mom. She'll have her own life that you can't control.

I wonder if Hue knows how lucky he got tonight?

Yea, Mayfield will have some growing pains but he makes quick decisions and plays fast.

No. Awful call. Though the safety turned his head he in no way made a play for the ball because he was plowing over the receiver

Dude, this is so perfect how the two of you are making decisions about your son and most importantly, how you made the decision on the house with her in mind. Just keep it up. I too have done this type of stuff as needed, my parents want me to be more hostile, but they also don't understand how it would just boomerang back badly and holds your life back instead of moving it forward. In the first year or two, I actually fought with my ex more than when we were married because I wasn't just going to put up with her some of her **** anymore and needed to carve out my space as it relates to her. But I would always do stuff for her if really needed, and believe me she did her best to avoid it for the sake of independence. And we live less than 10 minutes apart in the same school district. The first few months post-separation will be rough, for me, every day like opening the doors to an emotional blast furnace varying between either getting mildly singed or a full fledged torching to ashes. Hang in there, once you realize you get to redefine life on your own terms again and things will be ok with your son, you'll notice how bright the light is shining.

Sounds like the two of you are on the same page, do your best to keep it there. Be useful and considerate to your ex when it comes to the kids, be respectful that her life and choices are her own now and expect the same from her. If you don't like how she parents your son, maybe mention/discuss, but ultimately you have to set your own example and rules when he's with you and rely on him to appreciate it someday. Lead by example. Dpberr is right but too harsh about the reality of things. When your son is with you, you are a single parent with no back up so eventually you will appreciate and make great use of your time alone. Kids, and really every one of us, is subject to events that are emotionally scarring every day. Divorce is just one of them, having a bad relationship with your ex is what prolongs and increases the trauma. My kids have a great sense of humor and I get lots of compliments from teachers, adults about their character and efforts. I think they've handled it extremely well, because me and my ex decided to handle it well. We switch and swap days with the kids all the time, she is very generous when I have family events and I do the same. Kids first, and balance it from there. Over time, the four of us don't do as much together as a family, and a good bit of it is my choice for now. For all those saying to work it out, I wanted that too but she didn't. We were two nice, decent people who were attracted to each other and I always figured that was enough. She was right. Divorce made me realize that, and I'm glad I'm not stuck with someone attractive I like but is completely uninspiring and ill suited to be my soulmate on a deeper level. God helped take that depressing scenario away, allowing me to see her in a truer light and learning about my own failures and weaknesses along the way. I'm so much the better for it.

Sorry to hear you have to go through all this. It's been 5 years since for me now and things are great. It was the most emotionally painful thing I've ever gone through for the first 3 months, but in the end it was definitely for the best. Kids were 10 and 6 at the time of the split, we co-parent 50/50 and always put them first. Well, I do for sure no matter what. I pick up the kids health insurance, end up paying more for clothes, school fees, etc. because I earn significantly more than her. But I don't pay her anything monthly and haven't used or even glanced at our divorce agreement in years. I'm very lucky, but a good part of it was from knowing her strengths and weaknesses and accurately reading the situation. And, both of us want to move forward in life, not drag each other down. What I learned from what I went though and hopefully can help you is this: 50/50 parenting is a must, try like hell to be the custodial parent but it is probably too late for that. Never talk bad about your spouse, she is a part of who your child is and talking bad about her means you're talking bad about him. But, answer these questions: 1. Emotionally, who owes who in this split? 2. How much is your ex willing to accept the state government being involved in your family's parenting? 3. How much can you get away with before upsetting her emotional apple cart and she goes nuclear? 4. Can you make her life as miserable as she could make yours and do you each feel this? 5. Is she someone that has no problem being vindictive or instead prefers to move forward? Question 3 is most important, for the remainder of the divorce. They all are perspective for post-divorce peace. If she goes nuclear, nice-nice goes away and that must be avoided until you can't stand it anymore. Women have the advantage in court. Definitely use the lawyer and definitely (but nicely) stand up for what you need to protect yourself. Depending on how you answered the 4 questions should guide how aggressive of a lawyer you use and how much you fight for yourself. Your agreement will be the precedent, once the court accepts the agreement, you are bound and any disproportionate agreement will never balance out in the future, only snowball.

Let's be real. We have a brand new, complex system with a young center, and new quarterbacks that were constantly being mixed and matched during the preseason. Teamwork is crucial in this game and it will take time. Not sure what the defense's problem is but Flacco talked about how easy it was to get the LB's to step forward then pass in that gap. But, in all honesty, I also have to imagine coaches being so wrong about Peterman killed morale and trust so maybe Wood doesn't have his finger on the pulse like last year?

I never said McCarron is any good. But he's clearly better than Peterman (in a regular season game) and has spent time learning the playbook.
