It was really crazy to see someone have such a traumatic brain injury and recover the way he did, but at the same time he still had a lot of issues. Seeing your post reminded me of that Ha, I watched it to. Two takeaways-wow those brain injuries really really change who you are. Second, his brother with down syndrome was one of the most amazing kids I've ever seen. So self aware and in tune to others emotions. The whole family wanted to speak up to kevin and it took his challenged brother to step up and do it. I had to watch the part about him many times. Also seeing Sarah Burke interviewed then die during the filming was f***ed up.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 26, 2013 -> 04:28 PM) How many of those guys would you really want re-signed right now? Peanut is old, Jennings has had one good season, Melton is already over paid, Jay is going to get an extension one way or another, Wright and Wootton...possibly if they're cheap but it's not like they're irreplaceable and do you really want to pay Robbie Gould 4 million a year? Cutler is the only one I would consider for a multi year extension. Peanut is just about done.

Almost got into a fight on the course yesterday, heres what happened: On one of the holes ive played before they decided to move the tees up, great. Its roughly 325 yards from tee to green so we decide to hit while people are putting (wind against us a bit, usually hit about 280). Both guys go before me and lay up roughly 60 yards short or so. Great. i step up and hit a nice drive and we are watching it expecting for it to drop right next to their drives. Next thing I know it drops right on the green next to a group that is finishing. I yell and wave my hand and drive up to apologize. I start profusely as soon as I get in ear shot and one of their group (4 asian gentlemen) just starts screaming at me. I keep saying sorry, we didnt see it going that far, really really sorry etc and he keeps telling me he doesnt want my apology as I shouldve yelled fore. I said well I didnt see it anywhere near you so thats why i didnt. He starts approaching me telling me what could have happened if he was hit. At this point i get out of my cart because it appears he wants to attack me. Now, im not the biggest guy but I run about 6'1" and 205 lbs and he's a smaller guy. So walks towards me and asks me if I would like to play in front of him so he could hit me, i explain that I didnt do it on purpose and there is a difference and once again I am sorry. He then gets closer, I think realizes he's a little outsized and starts to walk towards the next tee still screaming. i start laughing because his behavior is so ridiculous, he ask me if I think its funny. I explain that what I did wasnt and thats why I am apologizing but I DO think his behavior is funny. He then asks me if its my first time playing golf, I said yes, thats why i just drove a 325 yard green. He continues to scream all the way to the next tee and I just stare back at him smiling once again saying sorry, but lets be glad it wasnt worse. It was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen. I've been hit into in the same situation and if they apologize I am ok with it and frankly remark at how great a shot it was. I really thought it was going to be a fight and I think he thought for a second about it and then thought better of it.

I understand why the media hypes ridiculous articles and stories out there with zero facts, but these are the stories that SHOULD be highlighted, the ones that werent meant to be stories: http://www.cbssports.com/general/blog/greg...-cancer-patient

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 06:47 PM) Smart TV's all suffer from the same problem, lackluster software that rarely -- if ever -- gets updates. Like the Netflix Client on my smart TV is abysmal, it's slow, crashes often, buffers poorly, and it's interface is terrible. On my Xbox360/AppleTV, the client is really smooth, easy to use, etc. I assume you'll get a similarly good experience off the new Chromecast, too. I've never used an application, no matter what it is, on any smart tv that was any good. Apple TV was 90 bucks on Amazon. I suggest people buy that for "smart" tv functions.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 08:45 AM) Now a local news reporter in Ohio is saying she saw the video and Hyde did slap her. Sounds like Yahoo wasn't shown the entire CCTV clip or this newswoman is exaggerating what she saw. A no-name news reporter giving her opinion on a tape she wouldnt have had access to. Sounds legit.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 09:17 PM) I swear they did this in my high school They do it in college football all the time. Kickers get tested a s***load.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 02:31 PM) The worst thing you can do in softball is speed up your swing trying to hit the ball too hard. Pop ups and grounders to 3rd is what you get. Thats what made me switch to a heavy wooden bat and now my ultra heavy bat. Helps me stay back.

Ive started using a 36in-38oz bat. its hard to resist the urge to try and pull it through the zone quickly and just let the bat do the work.

QUOTE (pettie4sox @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 01:07 PM) Quit your day job Rock, time for you to answer your calling. My degree and advanced studies are in psychology......child psychology.

For those in their 20's, especially early on, it may seem devastating dealing with your relationshop or lack there of now, and its ok to feel that way. However, it is not the end of the world. You may not know this yet but you are going to change a bunch over the next several years and so will your taste in women. Once you find out who you are, thats about the time when you will find someone who is your match. In the end, work on you. Once you know who you are you can find that "one thing"

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:29 PM) That explains why he was suspended pending investigation and not dismissed right away. Some of the insiders said that he was being dismissed and they were advised to wait since security footage was found. Then the girl mysteriously went out of the country.

QUOTE (Jake @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:27 PM) Urban doctored that footage He is an evil genius. I hope they release the footage.

QUOTE (Noonskadoodle @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 09:20 PM) Good to hear. My Bucks def need him. The media + insider reports are f***ing poison. Yahoo pulled Wetzel's scathing column just now.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Jul 23, 2013 -> 02:44 PM) For me its about the law (which from the beginning I consistently said was not very good) and hopefully preventing future incidents like this. The tragedy is, that it doesnt seem either party was a bad guy. It just seems that its "wrong place, wrong time", so the question is, how can we prevent such a tragedy? If there was no SYG, would Zimmerman have chased/followed? Those are legitimately interesting debates. 7 people dying in Chicago, thats not Zimmerman/Martin, thats bad people doing bad things. At a certain point people accept that there is x% of the population who are just going to do bad things and live with the consequences of a free society. So you fix what you can, because you cant solve everything. Bigger issue: A fight ending in someone getting shot Drive by shooting where an 8 year old dies. I dont give a s*** whats going on in florida, the much larger issue for us is whats going on in our town.

I honestly cant believe this case is still such a big deal especially in a place like chicago where 7 Trayvon Martin's were shot and killed over the weekend.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 05:22 PM) I think you guys should go around to intoxicated college students and loudly remind them of these facts. IMO college students are alot different from All American football players. If I was training all day every day for a profession, I wouldnt have touched alcohol or drugs.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) You're right, that's what he was arrested for. But the only reason he hit the bouncer in the first place was because he had been removed by bouncers for trying to start a bar fight. Morons. I just dont get kids that are fine tuned athletes drinking. I would stay in and enjoy my path to millions.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 03:04 PM) Yeah that's awesome. Way to call out a bunch of college kids who weren't recruited by you, but now mostly have no choice but to play under you. Just when you think Weis can't be a larger horse's ass, he proves you wrong. Schematic advantage

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jul 22, 2013 -> 02:59 PM) Hyde wasn't dismissed, just suspended from team activities pending investigation. He hasnt been arrested yet, if he's charged with assaulting a woman he's toast. Zero tolerance on that. From what i'm told, thats exactly what happened.
