truth on hold

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft is one of the most influential figures in the National Football League and has congratulated Jason Collins for becoming the first male athlete in one of the four major sports leagues to reveal that he is gay. Kraft added that he would support a gay player on the Patriots. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/robert-kraft-welcome-gay-player-england-patriots-031749949.html

OK, I give up. You're just not think-tank material. You're right, meazza is such an even tempered guy. Never curses or name calls, always remains composed. Respectful of the opinions of others, even when they differ from his own strongly held views. He truly is the board's icon of tolerance and civil behavior. The thought of him sending objectionable PM's is blasphemous.

If you want to believe the guy who says he never PMs me while complaining about me blocking his PMs, well then what can I say other than THINK for a change.

Why block a guy who wasn't sending PM's? You really need to THINK sometimes before posting.

Next year will be 10 years since Dimebag was gunned down. wow seems like yesterday

Had you seen the stuff he was sending me before I had to block him, you might understand !

What are you talking about?

That's sad. I wasn't aware of that

At this point im just hoping bills are actually in some big games. Been so long I don't remember what it feels like

they really are in a rought spot: get passed over for younger candidates, feel theyre too old to learn new skills. + theyre still on the hook paying for the entitlements of the generation that retired before them

The article theorizes it started with elevated lifestyle expectations of baby boomers colliding with economic reality, exacerbated by prescription pain killers. Do you agree with this , or would you describe it differently ?

FWIW I once nominated Slayer's "Seasons in the Abyss" as the theme song for Bills playoff drought years. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvuO2EvCTAE

OLB: LT, derrick Thomas ILB: ray lewis, butkus

Jets and Rex are stuck with each other: he has something like $4mm left on his deal for 2013.

A rather disturbing trend .... Suicide rates among middle-aged Americans have risen sharply in the past decade, prompting concern that a generation of baby boomers who have faced years of economic worry and easy access to prescription painkillers may be particularly vulnerable to self-inflicted harm. More people now die of suicide than in car accidents,... http://www.nytimes.com/2013/05/03/health/suicide-rate-rises-sharply-in-us.html?_r=0

RIP

He needs to come out of the closet. Score points for "bravery". And motivate teams to get positive PR for hiring the first openly gay coach. Whether or not he is gay is beside the point .

Have to love how jets "solved" their qb controversy by drafting a controversial rookie qb

LOL is that what you thought with your comment "Throw in Atheists, and you've pretty much included the entire world." Completely missing a billion Hindus in India and probably more than a billion Buddhists in China, Japan and other Asian countries. No where near "the entire world" without these Asian religions. Your post was even more ignorant than I thought, what a hick!

He really sounds immature and in over his head. That position in particular has shown to require both physical skills and maturity. Plenty examples of failure due to lack of one (leaf - maturity), (Fitzpatrick - physical skills).

Atheists wouldn't call him a sinner because that would require a belief in god and absolute norms of behavior. And yes if Collins wants to hold others to a standard of tolerance in beliefs and lifestyle of others, he should display those same traits.

Even more puzzling, why haven't Vikings ever used this Zeppelin song for their theme? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GnpaPGHFsL4

“The worst mistake of my presidency,” said Ronald Reagan of his decision to put Marines into the middle of Lebanon’s civil war, where 241 died in a suicide bombing of their barracks.

Ancient alien theorists will be all over that design

And it would be hypocritical for ESPN to fire him since a majority of their viewers probably make up Jewish, christian and Muslim faith. And a majority of rabbis, priests and clerics would most likely agree with brousssards interpretation. I personally think its crap calling someone a sinner for their gender orientation in sex, but I don't begrudge someone else saying or thinking it provided they don't express it in a discriminatory manner. If Collins really was this all understanding good guy bent on inclusion, he should make a similar statement too and let guys like Wallace and broussard off the hook.
