Human tragedy and what it does to me

I see their faces on the TV screen and I stay as detached as I can. The unbelievable anguish that must be going through their minds. The loss. The stomach punch of everything they have worked for and ever hoped for being gone just like that. Those poor, devastated people. I am of course talking about Packers fans.

you know, im not too sappy, and am pretty numb to all the bad poo in the world, that being said:

Havent seen much at all about the Haiti earthquake, but flipped it on CNN last night and they showed this 11 year old girl pinned under debris. Her legs and lower body were pinned and she was able to talk and take on water and such...

they said they were finally able to free her, but that she died soon after.

that really was horrible.

I read that story this morning after I posted this. She said "Mother, please don't let me die" right before they lost her.

In the Spartanburg paper this morning there was a man who had been to Haiti on a humanitarian mission a few years ago who said he would not go back this time because he had guns pointed at him last time. I wish our army had permission to fire away at those thugs this time. Last night Sanjay Gupta was the only doctor who stayed at one of the hospitals...the rest cleared out because the Red Cross told them it wasn't safe to stay there.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
