Hey no picking on Emmitt, he is doing his best. Mixing metaphors is not that easy!

If you live in a glass house then don't be throwing any moss covered stones.....or something like that.

Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Family strain affected McNabb's play
Thanks for the Medical updates Dr TrackBLocks.

I would say that depression has a higher rate in women based on the amounts of anti-depressants prescribed. I'd look it up but I feel sooooo tired

Nut up is two words, I guess you could use a hypen, Nut-up, yeah then it would be A word...

Lets review the article. On Tuesday, three weeks before her due date, (like the due date means much; most women will tell you it is a Doctor???s guess--my wife generally had it closer, yes we managed to have babies in spite of our sexless marriage Dr Phil!! LOL) (Early for twins is not uncommon) Roxie McNabb, the quarterback's wife, delivered twins, a healthy baby boy and girl (OH WOW Healthy--what a surprise, proper medical care in a large US metropolitan city!! Not like she was squatting in a damp cellar with a midwife in the middle ages!!). To hear McNabb tell it, the delivery was complicated but ultimately successful. (writers opinion and prose) Everyone is healthy (ding ding ding???.winnah!!)- babies, mom and proud pop. But there were times during the last several weeks and months when McNabb wondered, and worried, (ok perfectly normal but this puss of a writer would like me to get a handkerchief out at this point???..) about his wife, about their 4-year-old daughter, Alexis (Why? Because she will lose her mother--bit dramatic don???t you think? Maybe not), and about those unborn twins. Although he wouldn't go into specifics, McNabb worried about Roxie's health, about the strain carrying two babies put on her body, (was there gestational diabetes, bad amnio, inverted uterus, bad ultrasound?) about whether those tots would be healthy (see above on medical care large US metro area) or born too early. "I tried to not let it affect my play knowing that I didn't play as well as I wanted to in the previous weeks," McNabb said yesterday. "But it's sort of a little weight off (sort of -- as if he is not sure?; little weight-- as in no big deal, again poor writing) your shoulders knowing that everyone is healthy and everyone is fine (read the last 5 words repeatedly...) and kind of can come back out here and have fun."
My wife is very lovely and the apple of my eye, there is no better place than falling asleep next to her each evening. Thanks for the advice, good luck with reading and comprehension in the future.

I do crossfit at Yorktown High on Saturday's. As Rx'd, not scaled. If you know what that means without looking it up then you should be fine. If you need to look it up then don't bother showing. Maybe we can knock out a "Cindy" STS?

I've gott 3000 hrs flying jets; 500 which were in combat, 7 of my buddies are in the ground. I've flown with guys going through divorces, babies sick, mamma sick, usual distractions; managed to meet all the flight requirements, missed countless holidays, birthdays, flown on 3 Christmas days all so you could be at home comfortable and safe.

You're welcome.

It would be naive to believe that there is not cheating and bending of rules to get promising athletes into schools. You could spend gobs of time finding references to violations on the web.

SAT and ACT scores are probably generated by someone else taking the exam and then the student ends up in courses "designed" for athletes.....basketweaving, archery, maybe even marksmenship for some......?
Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Giants open to Plaxico return
That's my point, if a kid cannot get into school based on the minimum academic requirements DO NOT take him/her regardless of their athletic abilities.

Many of our athletes are successful in academics as well, they have annual awards for those kids.

The list of criminal athletes is embarassing, remember the hi-jinx from Oklahoma when Switzer was coach late in his tenure....ridiculous

Yes, true! It was a total screw job against a good guy.

JJ,
No I am not saying that at all. Universities should not BS us and tell us that they are taking these players as students when in fact without their physical skills they would NEVER get accepted to school.

If they want to call their collegiate sports team something else then fine but do not call some of these illiterate kids students.

Baseball has a "farm league" for young kids who do not want/can't to go to school, maybe gifted kids who can't get into school could play in a similar football system?

JJ,
my implication is do not offer scholarships or accept players who are not College worthy (i.e. have a reasonable SAT score or whatever metric the school uses). As I understand it Univ of Washington called in WIllingham (Sp) to clean up their act and recruit kids with character and some moral fiber....Schools need to show some responsibility.

Well said!!
Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Welker OK with Steeler's hit
It was a "late" hit, legal but late! Very clear Clark saw Welker did NOT have the ball, he could have pulled up. I KNOW hitting is part of the game but who can watch Darryl Stingly get hit and think "oh that's part of the game"? It's is easy to blow this one off b/c welker got up. If he hadn't we would all be screaming late hit! Deserved the flag!!

No I think he wanted to get to his laptop and see what marvelous Avatar you would roll out today......
Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Giants open to Plaxico return
Same! I have a cricket bat, has an edge AND a flat side....


I see the "Day Shift" is in full rant and all systems on the OFFENSIVE--you go boys!
Posted Thursday December 04, 2008, About: Family strain affected McNabb's play
Poorly written article but I agree with eigthwonda, like any father he should be interested and involved but you also have to separate work from personal life (I've done it for 20+ years). IF there were real complications then yes there is an issue but just b/c your wife is having twins that is not a reason to unravel. Nut up buddy, focus and get to work. In the evening, engage with family and provide support.

I DO NOT think McNabb is making this an issue, I think the press is trying to tie the two together too strongly. McNabb is alright.
