    Top 10 Players of All Time

    Same with punters, Colquitt is the best punter KC has had in a really long time.

    McCluster won't play receiver

    He looked good against Baltimore, I saw him throw some decent cut blocks, but I saw him miss some too...he seems fairly fearless when it comes to blocking, but he's pretty small.

    2011 Bold Prediction Thread

    Nope, my prediction had nothing to do with my team... IMO I would think you should actually have some degree of faith in your own prediction for it to qualify as "Bold" rather than "Absurd".

    Soda vs. Pop vs. Coke

    I typically use it when referring to RC Cola, or our local generic Cola.

    Charles almost a Redskin?

    It's a 2009 story, back when Charles was buried on the depth chart: http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/1783

    Jonathan Baldwin injures wrist in locker room fight.

    Yeah, TJ should have been last on his list of people to mess with. "sense of entitlement" .....great, hopefully KC's locker room is strong enough to knock that outta him...maybe Bowe's matured enough to put some sense into the kid.

    What was the last movie you watched?

    Priest, actually better than I'd expected...guess I'll have to add that one to another Comic book movie that I dig.

    Are you pro-change or anti-change?

    I believe in "If it ain't broke, don't fix it"..but if it's broken, by all means fix it...I can adapt, but I prefer it's warranted, not whimsical.

    Who is your cable provider?

  20. I'll concede to that, to a degree...it was exponentially easier to get the ingredients for C-4 in my youth, but one of the underlying differences was we didn't have the technology to get the recipe. My buds and I built bombs out of pvc pipe and buckets of firecrackers, we'd spend alot of time taking the gunpowder of the firecrackers to fill the PVC pipe up.... But we used those to blow up ant piles, gopher holes, and park benches (at night when nobody was around)... We knew about balloons drano and gasoline, but never built any of that stuff to hurt people...personally I never built it, because it sounded much more dangerous... We had friends that had the "Anarchist Cookbook", but never used that stuff to harm another person... We had bb guns and even .22 rifles, but never used them to shoot each other...maliciously (yeah we had bb gun wars..even with people cheating by pumping way more than once) We knew if we fucked up bad enough we'd be "picking out a switch", we knew it hurt, but we knew we'd survive and a few days later it would have passed....hell half of the time we'd rather get a spanking than have to deal with the emotional torture of the "silent treatment"....and the anticipation of waiting for the punishment. For the record, our kids are step kids to me, and I haven't had to lay hand on them, so the spanking based upon my personal experience (I've had far worse than spankings)...and when their mother had to bust out the belt on the rare occasion that they absolutely didn't want to listen to what she had to say. They had a general lack of respect for their mother, thanks to their father... For me, I assert my authority by denying them the things that we provide, such as internet, cable, etc..great thing about technology today, I can control these things without actually having to be there...unlike my parents, where I was sneaking into their room and finding my BB gun in their closet while they were at work...I tell them, "you don't want to do what I say, I won't do what you ask"...they've gone from telling me to do things, to asking me, but it's been quite a road. Yeah, I do the explaining thing, and it doesn't take long for me to realize they've stopped listening. I explained to the 9 year old not to stand on the back of the couch, he could fall and hurt himself, and eventually break the couch, because the back was not designed to hold that kind of weight..... Later on (weeks or a month or two) we hear him crying in the living room...he fell off of the couch, and knocked the wind out of himself when he hit the arm....I told him "now do you understand why I told you not to stand on the couch?" he says "you never said that!".....Not even a month later, I see him doing it again, I say "don't stand on the couch, did you forget what happened to you?" he proceeds to argue with me, I raise my voice a little (not a lot) "what did I say?" he immediately sits on the couch, and doesn't do it anymore (at least not in my presence). Explaining works to a degree, but it also empowers them to argue with you over the logic, and theirs is always flawed, but they never see it that way...until it happens. Sometimes you have to assert yourself to get your point across... Edit: I got off point in my ramblings....Kids today need to discover that there's much worse things in life, than a bruised ego...ass whippings aren't a death sentence, and your point can be well delivered by non-lethal means...

  22. That may be why I was an aggressive person up and through my 20's....but gettin my ass spanked, kept me in line, I'm not a unibomber, mass murderer, or a serial killer...I got into some trouble as a teen, but nothing that ruined my life. Talking and explaining work great, for those kids that actually want to listen. We've got a 15 year old that just hit the stage in life, where he thinks he knows better than we do...and an impressionable 9 year old that is quickly following suit. They get plenty of attention and affection, and no, you don't want to spank your kids for piddly shit. But there comes a point in time where talking and explaining fall on deaf ears. Our society as a whole has made it quite far with archaic forms of discipline, we grew up with it, as did our parents, our parents parents, etc...once those have been deemed "ineffective" is when kids went from afterschool brawls, to shooting up and bombing schools..is that just a coincidence?

    Bears WR Williams' conditioning is a problem

    I remember reading about how he hired a nutritionist before his senior season at UT...apparently once he started getting paid NFL money, he no longer gives a shit about on field performance. Sad, he had so much potential.

    2012 GOP Primary

    And he's still human, how long can he hold up against the corporation/banks when they start throwing "campaign contributions" at him...he's safe for now, because he's not really a threat to them, yet. What about if he actually threatens the race. (fantasy I know) We've all seen what a high dollar campaign can do for a weak candidate, the media is already against him, Bildeberg has already chosen Perry, so take a guess how much money his campaign is going to have. I still believe it's all a smokescreen to fool us into thinking our vote actually counts... Electoral > Popular vote anyway.

    Should college athletes be paid????

    Being a student athlete not on a scholarship, your view is skewed. You're not being compensated at all, so you have a legitimate beef. True schools make buckets of money from the program, but people will pay to see the games regardless of who's exactly on the field. If the teams are winning, then yeah more people will pay to see them. Jersey and merchandise sales do have some bearing on the name of the player. Consider the amount of students at your university, and consider the gross income generated strictly off of the tuition they pay, the atheletic program allows the non scholarship (like you) students to pay a lower tuition. If the universities were required to pay their athletes, take a guess at how they'll compensate for the loss of revenue...fine for you, since you'll be getting paid, you can compensate...but what about the rest of the student body that isn't a gifted athlete? As I stated, student athletes should be allowed to hold a job, sans manager, and no inflated endorsement deals, or endorsement deals at all, a real world job so they can learn the value of a dollar, and how to manage their money. You may already understand that, but I'd wager, many of your peers do not. As an adult that's been in the Job market for a very long time, I can relate to the value of a College education much more than any student will ever understand. Degrees don't hold as much weight when you're fresh to the job market, but once you have experience under your belt, degrees make a HUGE difference in pay grades. Kids seem to have the illusion that a degree = executive pay at day 1, the real world doesn't work that way, everyone has to pay their dues...but once you have experience AND a degree, you reap the rewards tenfold...versus those of us who have tons of experience, but no fucking piece of paper to somehow validate their body of work. In essence, the beginning Experience trumps degree, but later on in life, degree + experience trumps all.
