Sorry, I just don't believe it.
As framed by The Associated Press ...
It was a badly constructed sentence all around.
Travis Henry's in deep trouble already. He's on my fantasy team as an RB, and he's been injured and worthless the past few games. If he makes it back this season, he still has a potential suspension for being an idiot druggie and failing his drug test earlier this season. Finally, Selvin Young made a good impression as a starter (then got injured) and then Andre Hall had a big day as a third stringer running first string (picked him up last week.) Bottom line is that each of the seconday and third RBs did a better job in the games they played than I've seen from Henry all season.
He may not be "all that" after all. Least he could do is be "a dad". It will cost him one way or another in the end.
He's going to wish he had more friends when the giant pool of money dries up.
heh, he was on my FF team as well, but i got rid of him. i figured since i wouldnt play him in real life i dont want him on my fantasy team. however, as a joke, i picked up vick as a backup to payton manning seeing as the bye weeks are over.
The Rednecks have dropped Travis Henry because he is a druggie with a torn knee ligament and his mother dresses him funny. Will you give him a home?
50% No - I can deal with a dozen Cub Scouts but NFL RBs require too much supervision!
50% Yes - What is the NFL if not a large halfway house for Hip-Hop Felons? Welcome aboard, Ricky! I mean, Travis...
0% Maybe - If the knee doesn't finish him the suspension will, but I'm desperate...
Still waiting for the People mag cover title: Brad and Angelina welcome their bastard child!
Duh.
“the black-white income gap persists —- this is a discrimination issue.”
There are many blacks who live in better houses and drive cars way out of my price range. Not to mention legal protections they will probably recieve for the rest of my lifetime that can translate into ecomomic benefits. At the same time because of the crime rate and increasing mobility of the black community, the property wealth of whites has taken quite a hit in the past twenty years. I am unconcerned about an income gap because it has narrowed and the way it has narrowed.
bastard child!
There are NO CHILDREN like what you have described.
True. As an adjective, it has a subtly different meaning. The proper term is simply "bastard."

While median family income for both blacks and whites increased over those three decades, an income gap persists. "Between 1974 and 2004, white and black men in their 30s experienced a decline in income, with the largest decline among black men," Issacs writes. Families beat their parents largely because more households had two breadwinners and because of gains in women's incomes.
My wife is a stay-at-home mom for the good of the kids. It's slow financial suicide. My retirement plan is dying at my desk. My plan for the kids future is carrying a lot of life insurance and riding a fast motorcycle....
So what's the story? Have kids when you're married so you can put them in daycare while you both work?!
I make good money, but I am part of the first generation, Gen X, that will have a lower standard of living than the previous generation.
I totally agree with you. Some star has a baby and oh my God...they are instant experts and theirs is the only pregnancy ever. Makes me sick too. I’m glad you clarified your statement. I always think of the kids first.
the dictionaries can give any meaning to it they want but there are no children who are called that. NONE.

Somebody tell me when it’s okay to laugh at this.
That’s 1 I’d like to see.
