    It's not like most of the first half doesn't count.
  2. Sammy Sofa
    Has there been any Castro news?
  3. Sammy Sofa
    damn it i completely forgot to listen "Was that the first time you've kissed Jay?" "No! I kiss him all the time. Just no tongue last night." ha did he say anything about the injury? Just that they're still being precautionary but planning on him playing.
  4. Sammy Sofa
    NOOOOOOOOO.

    It's often a gut response to someone's career ending, but Peanut strikes me as the kind of player who could make the jump to coaching pretty effectively.
  6. Sammy Sofa
    [expletive], I felt so bad for Peanut seeing him tearing up on the sidelines. Shitty news. He was real fun to watch and seems like a good guy. PEANUT PUNCH: http://gifrific.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/Charles-Tillman-Punches-Ball-Fumble-Packers.gif

    The fact that the bears, such as they are full strength, will be playing without their offensive playmakers against a good team on the road in front of 40mln tv viewers should make you feel awful. I like how some people keep bringing up the national TV thing being so humiliating, like the Bears being terrible would be some kind of secret they could get away with if they were just on locally.

    Heard they were planning on Monday. He better be, otherwise he skips over tinyface and goes right to being punyface.

    Ricketts would do a spit-take, but he doesn't want to waste that valuable spoiled milk he found in the trash.

    My reaction every time I remember that the Cubs are playing:
  12. Sammy Sofa
    It's morbidly hilarious how many people run with this lazy "shouldn't be surprised when a football player is violent" meme across the internet. So, all football players are inherrently more prone to violence? Even kickers and QB's? How about a return guy? How about a running back with no prior criminal record?
  13. Sammy Sofa
    The Deadspin link in Wilson's post is a good start.
  14. Sammy Sofa
    That's a pretty ridiculous comparison. Nobody is conflating the action on a football field with something horrible like beating a child or punching a woman into unconsciousness. Shockingly, we're actually able to differentiate these clearly very different things. Why shouldn't we be surprised by it? Again, most of them aren't doing things like this, and the numbers don't show these incidents wildly varying within the world of pro athletes vs. the public at large. It's too uncomfortably close to dismissing or even kind of excusing it in a twisted way because "oh, of course a football player would do something like that." That's simply not true, and it's a lazy conclusion and there's zero point in questioning people reacting to it with shock.

    Who has given up on him?
  16. Sammy Sofa
    So then what are you saying here? We should just expect them to hurt the people around them? People are being disingenuous or clueless when they're shocked by something like this? I just never understand the point of comments like this.
  17. Sammy Sofa
    Do you get itchy building these straw men? I didn't say that playing football makes men into wife beaters, I just said it shouldn't come as a surprise when they are. You don't know what a straw man is. It's a "surprise" because most of them AREN'T wife beaters. It's a dumb attempt to inexplicably try to denigrate people who are horrified by this because...[expletive], I don't even know why you're doing that. It's a horrible thing that people are reacting strongly to, but you have an issue with that because they're not just dismissing it as "psh, whatever, of course athletes are beating their wives and kids and [expletive], ah-doy." Why would it possibly bother you that people are "shocked" or "surprised" over this?
  18. Sammy Sofa
    Well, you're the only one who gets the dumb thing you said. One, most people aren't dropping their monocles and [expletive] because they're so shocked; they're just appalled at [expletive] they'd be appalled at whether it was done by the nerdy accountant who lives down the block or the pumped up monster who plays football. And two, just assuming that a pumped up football monster (or anyone) is automatically or likely going to be a shitty human being who beats a kid like that or tries to murder a woman's face with their fist is, yes, dumb-dumb-dumb-dumb.

    I thought that son died Yup. Assaulted by the boyfriend of his mother. Way to take something away from that, AP.
  21. Sammy Sofa
    I'm kinda sick of football.
  22. Sammy Sofa
    Ricketts only has a hot plate.
  23. Sammy Sofa
    Of all the reactions I have encountered in my travels, David snapping over being called a robot was the most...human.

    The clip is on the Deadspin link; the announcer couldn't be a bigger meatball about it. "Your big guy goes down and you need to do something about it!"
