"And if you try and deny the contact while the ball was in the air prior to it reaching Caldwell then you are either blind or a homer."

It doesn't matter, Roethlisberger never got the ball across the goal line... ;-)

I am pretty sure she was smiling her child support was most likely paying for that expensive home.

I was not speaking of the season just that one game.......................

You have just a game or two to reminisce about, I have many more.

And more to come.

By the way, it is a shock indeed to learn that even Tom "does it"!

I never heard of any Colts complaints just watched the game and saw what happened. Not once but on several critical plays. This year they were not allowed to do it repeatedly though each team got away with some contact.

That game two years ago was the worst example of non-calls I can recall.

They complained for years that their receivers were touched by DBs but in this game the Pats got called (correctly) on an end zone call but the Colts got away with receiver contact when the ball was in the air and the receiver had position. That was a call that had serious implications on the outcome of the game which is not supposed to happen.

The other instance in that particular game when you had incidental contact or feet got tangled up are not things the refs are supposed to call.

There was nothing conclusive about the ball breaking the end zone and it was a joke that the TD stood.

Of course the fact that Seattle dropped passes and played like crap didn't help....

While I never heard any complaints about two years ago and doubt that Dungy said much of anything about it I SAW what happened and complaints were justified.

And what does this author expect Tom and girlfriend to do now? Abortion? No. In fact I respect the fact that they are not going to kill and sladder the baby. I just see no reason to complain about pre-marital sex when it is way too late. I don't condone it, but it sorta like crying over spilt milk. They are doing what they can now. I am not sure giving up the child in this case is the best option. We never went through this in my family so I don't know how I would react, but would I kill them after the fact? I think the best thing to do is educate children the best way and ensure they go to church and pray....lost of prayers and HOPEFULLY (no guarantees) they will turn out right.

"If you model your life after celebs and sports figures then you are a loser and your parents did a bad job in raising you." Wilt Chamberlain was a true role model for us all.

"If society is that easily influenced by these two's actions then society isn't worth saving." Is that a Man Law Ruling or just gas?

Maybe so. But I think there was probably a moment, right after Brady found out, that something in his conscience stirred.

Millee, my sweet...

The old sage says never, never, ever, ever get between a beautiful, sexy, wonderful, desirable woman such as yourself and her wine.

The only thing I ever touch on your wine bottle is the cork...

Which I remove and quickly get the hell out of the way!

Come to think of it...

You were drinking wine... Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting the night I showed you my secret!

BTW, have I told you lately that... Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting I love you, babe!

Brady is irresponsible, as is his former girlfriend, and some little kid gets to pay for it.

Yeah, I'm sure the son or daughter of a movie star mother and an NFL quarterback father is going to be begging for change on a Mattapan streetcorner one day . . .

Does "the point" always go WHOOSH right over head, or is this a first?
