I've heard rumors of Tony Gonzales finding a home in Philly. It would make perfect sense, as LJ smith is headed out the door and TG wanted to play for a contender. Also, the west coast offense ideally makes good use out of a pass-catching tight end, so it seems like a perfect fit.

Who's thinking more about the kid than the officer? I've seen nothing but sympathy for the officer and disgust for the kid in this thread.

I'm sorry for your loss, a man shouldn't die when he's 44. Just judging by his picture, he looks like he was just an all around good guy. My condolences.

WOW, now there's a kid that is with the program and understands what's going on. Real mature for his age, and he's addressing a serious issue here.

Ok here's the analogy I like to use. Let's say their is a goaltender in hockey (I'm using a goalie, because they get creditied with wins and losses too). He puts up horrible stats...let's say 3.25 GAA and .890 save percentage. Despite this, his team scores a sh*t ton of goals and he finishes the season with 35-40 wins. Would you say "He didn't put up impressive numbers, but what can you say? He just wins games."? Of course not, you'd say that his team wins games despite him. Why is it different with a quarterback? Why does a quarterback always receive dap when his team wins, despite his shotty play?

Haha, well I'm technically supposed to be paying attention to my professor.

Ok I correct peoples' spelling and grammar enough to deserve that, and in my defense it didn't really feel like you were being sarcastic. I googled "attempted murder death penalty" and got no conclusive examples. Of course, I didn't open all the links because I have better things to do.

No you were asking if there was anyway we could make the kid's family suffer.

Why, in your opinion, would more suffering be a good thing in this situation?

Haha, in fairness he DID say it was a NSFW pic of santonio holmes.

Well I suppose we shall see. For the good of the team, let's hope you're wrong.

Sorry, but that just isn't how our legal system works. There is not one case in modern days of somebody being sent to death for attempted murder.

They all barely have a better +/-. Also, Lydman plays the most minutes on average, which means Lindy trusts him more than the other D-men. And you'll have to excuse me for trusting Lindy's opinion over yours. By the way, I know he's had problems with turnovers, but I can't remember any blatant examples from this season.

I've recently discovered that my hottest teachers were in kindergarten, first grade, and third grade, before I was able to appreciate the hotness. From that point out, it's been nothing but uglies. Why do all the hot teachers teach little kids?

Have you been watching this season? Lydman has been the defense's rock this year. We need to extend him.

Despite the whole "middle aged men are horny perverts who want to have sex with underage girls" stereotype, doesn't it seem like these stories always involve a female teacher with a young male student?

You would really push for capital punishment on an attempted murder? In the words of Sideshow Bob, they don't give away a Noble Prize for attempted chemistry. I'm morally against capital punishment in the first place, because I don't believe in the whole archaic "eye for an eye thing", but you would actually send a 14 year old who committed attempted murder to his death? Dude...

Everybody seems to hate the cover 2 but nobody ever explains why they hate it.

At least we got to watch them win games sometimes.

Tim Tebow: Future backup tight end. Though I do respect his decision to stay in school one more year to improve himself. He probably heard that scouts were none too impressed with his pass abilities.

Tampa, Indy, Chicago have been the most successful with it...Why do you say it's the worst type to run? Personally, I think it would work just fine with a legitimate pass rush.

Wow thats is great news, but yeah it will be years upon years upon years of physical therapy before he is ever completely back to normal, IF he is ever completely back to normal.

Ok, I'll take your word for it. By the way, I'm not trying to be a d*ck in this thread, if that's what I'm coming off as. I just like to debate. And I guess we're just going to have to agree to disagree on this one. See, I'm sort of a statistics freak and I think that numbers can be used to prove just about anything in sports (not that the boxscore ever tells the WHOLE story), and when I look at VY's stats, I just don't see a good quarterback. But again, I hope to be proven wrong because he's certainly got the physicality for it.

He wasn't injured during much of his second season was he? He started 15 games...

He's certainly capable of improving, but the fact that his rookie campaign was actually better than his second season isn't a positive sign, on top of the fact that he had to spend this past season rehabbing from an injury. You never know how missing a season will affect a player. When you add to the equation his emotional issues, and the fact that he isn't the brightest light on the Xmas tree (6 on the wonderlic on his first try), significant improvement seems doubtful. Though I'd like to see him prove me wrong, he seems like a nice guy.
