  1. Wow. That's rough.

    A month later we went to the Bahamas because my husband had won a trip there.  We really didn't want to go, for obvious reasons but, it was a free trip to the Bahamas.

     

    It was a really bad winter, which is why flights were constantly being cancelled and we were taking a small flight to ohare and connecting to a large plane there

     

    well, the small airport was cancelling flights and ours was cancelled..........luckily as this was through work.........there was an exec at our airport in the same situation.

     

    He chartered a small plane and we flew up to ohare

     

    unfortunately.,.due to traffic.........air traffic control sent us to circle joliet for 2 hours while we waited for a turn to land

     

    we were running out of fuel but finally ohare said we could land

     

    which we did...........in time to see our flight take off without us

     

    We waited at ohare all day on standby and finally got a flight.............

     

    when we arrived at our hotel, they told us that since we didn'tt show up...........they had given our room away

     

    so we waited in the lobby for hours for a room

     

    After that the trip was good

     

    Flying back........we got stuck in miami and had to spend the night there

     

    waited on stand by most of the next day and finally got back home

     

    I'm not keen on flying.........especially not in the winter

  2. .

    What's worse than 5-2?

    Going to a casino 115 miles away for the weekend on your honeymoon and loosing all of your money you took, and your car breaking down needing an additional $600 ok repairs. That? Yeah, that was my weekend.

    .

     

    brings back memories of my honeymoon

    we went to Jamaica

    the return flight was cancelled so they put us up at a motel.  Apparently at some point they announced to everyone but us.....what time the flight was in the am

     

    in the am our phone rang and someone told us to hurry up, our flight was leaving

    we hurried up in time to see our flight leaving without us

    spent the day and the night in the Montego bay airport which at the time was quite small and they turned the lights out when they all went home for the day

     

    I did fall asleep but something bit me............I woke in the am with one eye swollen shut and one finger swollen to twice it's size

  3. I loved Demon Dean..

    I have yet to see the last two episodes, but I figured they would cure him sooner rather than later.

    sorry! It was on last night.

    But if you watched the season preview episode, those guys expect to keep this show going for another 10 years

     

    It just keeps getting better

  4. The rough and grungy style reminds me of the tumbler from the dark knight. It's the way I see Richardson when he runs on the field. 

     

    Here is a piece dedicated to the man himself.

     

    Please take a look at my other work while your at it, thanks !

    Great work

    In the future though rather than posting about it in the Colts forum, you can post it in the Art forum

  5. I was thinking that there was no way people would find something to fight about today...........color me wrong

    Seriously you could have chosen any of the positive views expressed in the OP

     

    As far as people thinking it's not fair to take shots at fans for having an opinion on coaching........I cannot keep this straight

     

    It's ok to call for firing but it's not ok to call out the fans who called for the firing? why?

  6. I have a particular dislike for him but I don't think he's as dumb as people believe, not even by half.

    sure he's intentional but I don't think all that emotion is put on.  I think he just has bizarre opinions and he capitalizes on them

  7. could be anything but I think

    (1) people love to be negative on the internet.  so if you say 'up' they'll say 'down'

    (2) Luck and the colts had some narrative going 'the season was a fluke......they can't do it again"........sound bytes that stick in peoples heads so,when they get the chance they spit those bytes back out

    (3) maybe their forum linked to that article and created a posting frenzBy

    (4) they've never seen andrew play

    (5) Random chance

     

    ESPN knows what it's doing........one day they post.........Wilson is better than luck.  The next day they post.......luck is better than wilson

     

    that way they give everyone a chance to disagree

     

    Kind of like the people who post here just to get a rise out of other posters

     

    Maybe the best answer is, if you write something about which QB is better than the other you are guaranteed comments.  I mean look at the manning v brady threads that still go on here

  8. I'm not sure I get your point. The NFL doesn't need to investigate anything. The local law enforcement will do that and if there's enough to bring a charge, the prosecutor will do so. If a player is charged and found guilty, then they should act.

    This thing with suspending a player because he is accused in not proper. I can see false accusations derailing a career

    just referring to this being on ongoing story after the NFL has already said they will take a stand against domestic violence

    in other words, I question why this story when the issue is done

  9. It's because when he had that pick-six against Buffalo he messed up his celebration, so he had a chance to get it right. You are against celebrating? I saw plenty of Colts players celebrating last night.

    not really

    just thought less of him after seeing that.  Perhaps it's what he did, perhaps it's because I didn't expect it from him.

    whatever the reason.......just was not a fan

  10. Oh I don't disagree with you.  The media definitely has an agenda, which at its core isn't bad, really.  They are putting stuff out there to initiate change, encourage discourse on the topic to keep what was once a taboo, so to speak, which allowed DV to be one of the more unreported criminal behaviors.  But the "change" is in progress, so is there really a need to keep posting new quotes on teh same topic?  Like, we get it, DV is bad and isn't acceptable.  At this point, however, it seems as if the topic of DV has become synonymous with the idea of getting Goodell out of office, his and the NFL's mistakes, and how player suspensions shouldn't be overseen by only the NFL.  I couldn't care less about that part of the narrative.  The only important aspect about the prevalence of DV in the NFL (and across America in general) is that we acknowledge the problem and do more to ensure it doesn't happen.  If it becomes about anything else other than that, it falls on deaf ears.

     

    I have a different view of the medias role in this.  I think everyone involved is a hypocrite. 

    This using the power of the media to shame and blame is creepy

     

    I would have a more favorable view of the media if I didn't think they have all been co-opted by their own private interests.

     

    News isn't news anymore...........it's infotainment.  And right now the most popular infotainment is blaming the NFL for domestic violence.  It's as though the spectator sport has expanded to include what does not have anything to do with play on the field.

     

    The media has shown very little interest in righting other social wrongs...........they're not interested in anything morally pure.

     

    Just self interest........and perhaps also some behind the scenes shenanigans

     

    How many times have they failed to report on children injured at the hands of abusers?  They don't because it doesn't sell..........people don't want to hear about it........unless it's also about famous people

     

    I'm very jaded on this whole topic.  I don't believe anyone's moral outrage.

     

    no point in talking to me about it :)

  11. My guess is it is a perspective piece. Given Angelo was a former GM, it was safe for him to speak about how the NFL, at least the Bears anyways, handled domestic violence which I don't think surprises anyone. DV is not the only offense the NFL hid under the rug.

     

    He suddenly sprouted a conscience when it would not impact him

    sorry, I'm not buying it

     

    but I'm the suspicious type
