John, I cut back my football watching by 99% after they let Michael Vick back in, and don't miss it. I can't bring myself to root for most of these guys, just because of the color of the jersey. During WWII, if an athlete did that, we would not have stood for it. Now, we barely care, and for sure, there are no consequences for the guy who gave the finger to our military during a time of war. If that's a cultural leap forward, I fail to see it. Turn the game off, go for a hike instead. My friends can't believe I don't watch anymore. Nothing would ever make me go back. At one point, Tom Brady had 2 women that were pregnant by him, at the same time. That's putrid. I'm going to tell my kids that there's anything about him, that I want them to emulate? No, thanks.

Just coming back from a decent morning on the CT shore Have a small keeper bass for the grill, my 10 year-old and I will prepare that, and fresh corn on the cob, for dinner. Fresh fish and corn on the charcoal grill. Mmmmmm.

I think Bridget Moynahan and Gisele what's her face were pregnant at the same time. Why are you pretty sure that's not true?

Because those boys are more than two years apart in age....

And Vick did serve his time... The greatest generation would acknowledge that and say move ahead, IMO.

Now Kapernick is another story, along with the petty thug overpaid millionaires.

I had heard they were pregnant at the same time. I just found a link that says you are right, they are 16 months apart. I was dead wrong there. It doesn't say anything good about him.

"Vick did serve his time". I never said he escaped before his sentence was up. His actions mean he's a pure sociopath. I have no desire to put a single dime in his pocket. We can disagree on that, too.

"The greatest generation would acknowledge that and say move ahead, IMO."

Ingrid Bergman (spelling) was the biggest actress in the world at the time that the greatest generation came of age. She slept with a married man, got pregnant. The Greatest Generation was so put off by what she did, she moved to Europe. I can't prove what they would do here, as you accurately said, I only have my opinion. And in my opinion, if the Greatest Generation took a good look at what our culture looks like today (arguing over which bathroom to use) they'd wonder what the hell they fought for.

My point, was that a lot of people are complaining about the way NFL players are acting (in my opinion, with good reason). Well, the fans are the only ones who can do anything about it, and they can do it right quick if they choose to. Turn it off, watch what happens.
