I've regretted plenty, and once I was an adult, I stopped blaming others for my regrets. That's what an adult does. Admit a mistake, then doesn't make it again. An adult does not regret a mistake, go batschitt crazy on social media, whine, cry, and throw a temper tantrum until mommy and daddy give him a freaking lollipop. You desperately sound like a person who is cheering against the organization. I can promise you one thing: based on the body of work put forth so far, there will never be a day when a whiny-ass child like Incognito outsmarts McBeane. Not today. Not ever. Incognito is a lot of things, but smart isn't one of them.

He signed the freaking contract. That's all you need to know. Everything else sounds like you need a reason to be upset with the front office. I mean, did they ask or did they DEMAND? When they DEMANDED, did they do it with a scowl while twirling their Snidely Whiplash mustache and laughing with a sinister Muahahahahah? The front office gave this guy a second chance when the rest of the NFL told him to piss off. Did everyone forget this? He then signed a restructured contract. He then acted like a big baby, threw a hissy fit, and finally got what the release he wanted. Sounds to me like he's just the kind of player who is welcome to be someone else's headache. He would make the team better, yes, but he's not worth the whine that comes with the cheese.

It starts and ends with this comment. He signed the deal. He's not a child. He doesn't have to sign anything. But he did. The Bills should not feel badly about that. This isn't about team over player or player over team. Unless someone can explain that they put a gun to his head, he signed the deal. End of story.

Oh, please. I'm Italian-American. I grew up around a lot of Italian-Americans, and a lot of Italians, and not a one ever cared about names that would even remotely be considered derogatory. You could call us WOPS or dagos or any other name and it never bothered a one of us. They most certainly don't care about a term that pretty much no one uses in the US any more except to refer to a Bills fan. As a matter of fact, most Italian-Americans would tell the rest of the world to grow some balls and pass the proscuitto.

One might argue a man of character would not renege on his signed commitment to a team who gave him a GIANT second chance.

Because many fans prefer winning over character.

You seem to be confusing "doing something for the sole purpose of saying you did something" with "keeping a promise." Dude had a shotgun. Are you suggesting we ban all guns? Because that's what it sounds like.

Unlimited gun rights? Really? Unlimited? I guess if you want an unlimited ban, you have to lie about unlimited rights. Trump/Pence 2020 thank you for your ignorance.

I'm With Her Rev 3.0 2020!!! Run, Hillarity, Run!!!

I think this makes for a great solution. Airports have been doing a great job getting dogs involved to expedite movement of lines to the extent that it even eliminates the whole "remove your shoes and belt" deterrent. One of the problems, however, is a large number of the people in charge of making rules -- local, state, federal -- are more interested in their own agenda than one that brings common sense safety efforts to the schools. This is a gun issue to them, not a person issue. Perhaps the way to get these politicians on board is to compromise with something they have no problem with: Members of the Black Panthers holding clubs outside the school and threatening the kids.

MODS!!! I don't come to this board to discuss HOCKEY!! Take you hockey talk north of the border, you damn freaks!

I think there is more truth to your wife's nutritionist than many people want to admit. I find it difficult to grasp that I can throw a rock in any direction and hit a person who has/had cancer, or knows someone right now who has cancer. It seems simple to me that step one should be to clean your food intake. Nothing processed. No more fast food, sodas, canned this or jarred that. Just clean food. Anecdotal, I understand, but the results have been simply amazing through my lens, starting with my wife, who has all but eliminated migraines and back pain almost exclusively by changing her diet to healthy foods and removing gluten. Plus, think about it; why would you NOT eat clean? But, you know...guns. This is why people are strarting to realize the plan is to take all guns. Wacked out teenager shoots people with a shot gun. Solution: ban something that had nothing to do with the event and blame people who don't do as you say.

It becomes more obvious when you suddenly see how the political left never stops first to find out the details. They go straight to "ban the guns." Every time. Now throw in a big megaphone to scream this message like, oh, say, CNN, and, well...here we are.

If that author gets invited to a park any time soon, she should turn down the offer. It'd be terrible if we found out she committed suicide by shooting herself in the back of the head multiple times.

Yes, but do you have a cute little My Little Pony Heart bandana you wear like this guy?

On the upside, you only needed to reach the third paragraph to realize what weird universe this guy lived in for the past 10 years. Say what? Did this guy miss Obama's first year?

So far as I can tell, it means this shooting will stay in the news a whole helluva lot longer than the story about the Bernie support who shot at Republicans.

He listens to music favored by the alt-right? Well done, DailyBeast.

That's next year for him. Possibly, but we'll probably be gone from CA in the next 12 months, so it won't matter.

Absolutely. In fact, the curriculum they use is through a local university.

He's not sitting at home all the time, and he doesn't miss out on any of that because it's available to him through programs operating outside the public school system. Many of them were created specifically for homeschooling families, including field trips to museums, shows, etc. He attends a single full-day of school with a dozen other kids in his class, plus the two 9th grade classes other days of the week, plus weekly activities with his church's junior high ministry group, plus he has neighborhood friends he gets together with to go bowling, movies, etc. My wife pretty much ensures he is very active. Most impressively for us, it relies on him to be a self-starter. He has a daily schedule of items that need to get accomplished, both school work and chores, and we incent him (he earns weekend Xbox time) to get them done without prodding by us. It blows me away, but this dude gets up every morning, makes his breakfast, cleans up, gets dressed and goes straight to his desk, working his way through the day's tasks. I've had employees who could barely accomplish this.

Based on your comments about the women in your life, do everyone a favor and do everything you can to avoid getting someone pregnant. We don't need any more little girls brought into this world by a guy who thinks they're role in life is to be some other guy's useless phuckbucket.

The thing I love about homeschooling is how flexible you can be with the curriculum. My son is in the 7th grade, but is taking 9th grade math and science. He takes private lessons for art, piano and voice. His PE is running (we just ran our first 5K together) and TaeKwondo (in a few months he's testing for 3rd degree black belt). It's all on a schedule created by my wife and him. I had no idea how unhappy he was at school, and we were paying a crapload to a small private school. Suddenly he's surrounded by kids he totally fits in with, making friends like crazy, and is just the happiest I've ever seen him. My wife, too. That's us, as well. Some of the best schools in state are around the corner from us. But middle school was just no fun for him at all. He was bored in class, so-so grades, and having a hard time getting along with others, mostly natural athletes. His fifth grade teacher suggest we have him tested, because she felt his boredom was caused by a slow pace, and it turned out to be great advice. He tested off the charts, and away we went. Now comes the time to move to another state. It's already tough to run my company here. I don't need the Fire Marshall showing up randomly to ensure I'm not beating my kid. He might start counting firearms.

You say that like you're proud of it.

There was a time when the concept of homeschooling would conjure images of backwoods survivalists in bunkers, trying to stay off the grid. That stigma is gone now, as almost 2 million children are homeschooled in the US alone. There are many reasons why families choose to homeschool, not the least of which it gives parents more control of their child's curriculum and not be tied down to what the state and federal government uses as a one-size-fits-all educational program. We homeschool my son through a curriculum from a local university, and my son has never flourished as he has in the past two years. It's simply been amazing. He attends scheduled classes a couple of days each week with about a dozen other kids in his class, then manages the rest of the work from home. However, in CA, beyond the fact that teachers are paid to have asses in seats, the state has also decided that parents are not smart enough to know what is best for their children. There have a been a few cases of families hurting, torturing and even killing their children, where the unrelated common thread is that those families are designated as homeschoolers. Remember the married lesbians who drive their kids off a cliff recently? Homeschoolers. Remember the Turpin family, who shackled their 13 kids in the basement? Homeschoolers. Most recently in CA, a young wacked out couple torturing their children. Homeschoolers. What is CA's response? Tighter control over homeschooling families. CA AB2756 was recently shot down as an effort for the state to pull more private information from families who choose to homeschool. Part of this law would literally give the state Fire Marshall the authority to randomly and freely inspect any house of a homeschooling family, much like they inspect businesses for fire hazards. Unscheduled, unfettered access. Except it's a person's home. The law got shot down, fortunately, but CA never gives up a chance to take control over more people's lives. The CBS story will gain traction, and leftists will yell "If we can only save one child!" But as is always the case with the left, the problem is never the people who commit the crimes. It's always some obscure thread that needs to be regulated. Anyway, it's growing in discussion here so I thought I'd start a separate conversation.
