She has to be because she sure didn't get 15% of the vote for her intelligence.

I may be extremely nearsighted, but I can see really well when it matters. My perfectly good fantasy has been ruined.
 


Another example: "Beauty is skin deep, but ugly goes all the way to the bone."

Ya, because Kill locked Barker in a dark closet for hours. You're a peach Rosie.

The closet was only locked according to one person. And that was the kid who was "locked" in the closet. The trainers and coaching staff disagreed with James' version of events.


And the "closet" was a 150-200 square foot room with an accessible light switch.

Not this again. As I've said before, nothing wrong with instilling discipline, but this is football and not war and I always bristle at that analogy.

And as for the ballet example (or for any of the performing arts), watch "Black Swan." Don't think that directors and conductors don't degrade their performers. I acted in high school and a little bit in college and I've heard first hand some pretty harsh dressing-downs coming from the folks in that field.

I was using simple analogies for the quick post.

I never once said this was war. I said that that tactic has worked both for football and the military. And just like Gags or Dungy didn't chew out their players, certainly there are some exceptions to the ballet analogy.

It's a tactic, that's not wrong, nor a fireable offense.

LOL... Typical blah, blah response. They have always done it that way so it must be right.

Not all coaches do it. I doubt that Gagliardi or Dungy ever got into a players face and told him he was a worthless piece of sh!t. I did not say to back off of expectations or discipline, just do it with respect.

First off, you don't even know if Barker was telling the truth. It may be true in his eyes, but perception isn't always reality. IE, I corrected my wife on finding the remote. She interpreted my tone as I was 'yelling' at her. Yes, it was my fault for using that tone but I certainly wasn't yelling, nor was I in the least bit upset. Her perception was not truth.

Secondly, the ONLY wrong thing in Barker's letter was an asst. Coach calling him a Faggot. And that wasn't even Kill.

Lastly, this has nearly been proven to be a player upset about his injury and his non-scholarship. Not about how he was yelled at a few times.

OMG, man, we have the same issues with tones and remotes. I get "the look" plus the verbal hand-grenade from my wife and all I ever say is "You're sitting on it." Geezo beezo, Formo, I have solidarity with you and I feel your pain, err, something along those lines....

Solidarity!
 

You guys don't have it so bad. When I had my last colonoscopy, I had to come home and tell my then wife, now ex-wife, that the Doctor did not find my head up there.
