  1. I didn't think Romney would fare well and he came closer than I imagined. As negatively as I feel about Newt, my guess is he wouldhave done about the same as Mitt...
  2. The three things I hate paying for: 1. Tolls 2. Parking 3. Dirt Edit: I can add a fourth 4. Ice
  3. I'm one of the last to the table, but I'm beginning to lose hope for the season......
  4. He didn't say what year that season would happen..
  5. Yeah, he's the poster child of bad judgement
  6. Yep.. He has disavowed this....
  7. Yep.. I don't think an audible had anything to do with it. The Bills (Fitz and coaches) thought it was 3rd and inches and ran a sneak. How that happens at the pro level with all the coaches and equipment and people is beyond me...
  8. Well that sure is a new wrinkle on ambulance chasing...
  9. I got hammered.. Thanks Fitzpatrick. One less sack and turn over and I would have won. At least they took Lynch out in the 4th..
  10. That was pretty creepy....
  11. Obama reading the names of the children last night was pretty difficult to watch... You could hear each and every family gasp and cry.. Probably one of those television moments that will be with me my whole lfe...
  12. The QB sneak by Fitz on 1st down told you all you need to know about this team.
  13. I'm not laughing. I'm playing against Lynch and Seahawks D in my playoffs..
  14. It simply has not been confirmed where on the spectrum he was. Autism is a catch-all diagnosis for a group of behaviors. The walk back part I refer to is the linkage they made that because he was "autistic" that was causal for this. Until someone from the family comes out (and I mean father or brother) and states what his diagnosis was, the rest is speculation. I think you will start seeing mental health professionals walking this autism notion back too.
  15. CNN trying to walk back the damage they've done on labeling the shooter autistic. The reporting on this, starting with incorrectly identifying the shooter, to interviewing the kids, to cameras following grieving townsfolks everywhere, to the race to put out inaccurate information has been reprehensible.
  16. Don't think my mind didnt go there immediately.. Working from home.. Hmmm..
  17. That is sure opening pandora's box.. Guys like Crosby might lose significantly.
  18. Not sure what I'm bothered more about: the notion that he splayed an automatic rifle or that he picked off children one at a time. I think the latter, but I'm not sure. Edit: so he did use the rifle on the kids after all..
  19. No.. Not with me.. I really don't see the difference, but I recognize others on here do.
  20. Just heard that the Bushmaster was in the car and he did this all with handguns. My apologies for rushing to judgment.
  21. So it sounds like he shot the glass and bypassed the new security system. So much for that false sense of security..
  22. I agree, autism is a bin. This man probably was on the spectrum and had attendant behaviors. I'm going with bipolar or something similar.
  23. I don't subscribe to the concept of evil. It is too subjective. I do subscribe to mental health and brain defects. I heard in one snippet today that the shooter was autistic. I live everyday with a child who is on the spectrum (some of you on here know what that means). We socialize with tons of families who have children and adults with disabilities and attendant behavior issues. We see all kinds of mental health issues. My wife and her best friend work with families with disabilities, homeless, and the poor. "There are none so blind as those who refuse to see". You should see what we see. There is no doubt in my mind that this individual was probably bipolar and genuinely had bad days. When you don't want to address the issue, chalk it up to evil. That way you can just dismiss it without further action required. If you want to deal with this (Virginia Tech, Columbine, Rep Giffords, Aurora, etc, etc, etc, etc) get to the root of the issue start a genuine conversation about mental health.. So many people have dropped off the radar during the last four years that there are ticking time bombs everywhere, in every community.
  24. Imagine the horror of the brother. His mother shot, brother goes out and mass murders children, kills himself and he is pegged as the bad guy by the media.
