I like how molesting children is cool there as long as you're able to hide it for 15 years.

I imagine that the idea of statutes of limitations is that if a person has demonstrated a lengthy enough period of good behavior, then we might reasonably assume that they are already rehabilitated and no longer a danger to society.

In a totally related story, the movie Shattered Glass was on HBO as I was waking up this morning, and I caught the second half of it where Glass is a sweaty mess trying out line after line on various people to avoid dealing with what he had done.

Why would the BBWAA say ANYTHING? Who gives a poo poo about the Spink award? It's a plaque and a speech that you can't undo anyway. Would anyone have thought less of the BBWAA head for a "no comment until the charges are resolved?"

Wait, so was it just the treasurer running his mouth and not an official statement? Because then I can't really fault them for the second one, since they'd have to try to do something.

From this article: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2011/football/nfl/12/25/bengals.fans.plea.ap/index.html#ixzz1hf86OYEQ "Franchise quarterback Carson Palmer then insisted he would sit out rather than play another season in Cincinnati. The Bengals eventually satisfied his request for a trade, sending him to Oakland during the season. Although the Bengals got a first-round pick and a conditional second-rounder, for fans it confirmed the notion that the franchise is hopeless." Huh?! Yeah, every Bengals fan around here definitely shouted, "This is bullshit! We got two high draft picks for someone who isn't even playing on our team? THIS FRANCHISE IS HOPELESS!"

When players want out (and it's not like he is the first to get disgruntled with the Bengals) it is pretty easy for the fans to feel hopeless no matter the return they get.

I see what you're saying here and after reading it again I can see that's what the writer is probably saying. However, the way it is written, it just seems to me that he/she is talking specifically about the trade, which was very, very well received amongst Bengals fans, especially considering that by the time it happened, Dalton had proven he was worthy. I think to say at this point, after the fact already, that saying the Palmer thing "confirmed that the franchise is hopeless," is silly. Honestly, anyone who is an actual fan doesn't give two shits that Palmer is gone and if anyone does care they're probably not really paying attention anyway.

I dont think it's about Carson so much as it is about your franchise quarterback choosing to sit out or retire rather than play for your team. Thats gotta be a bad sign for your franchise, no?

If Palmer would have stayed, I think they might have enjoyed equal success. What I'm trying to say is I just think he's a whiny bitch, so gently caress him anyway.

After seeing Hard Knocks, I will never blame anyone for not wanting to work under Mike Brown. That organization could be doing much better if he didn't nose in everything with frugality and nepotism running rampant.
