I think this was a tough guy proposal. When she awoke she said yes.

 

[FairWarning]

Hard to tell who the bigger idiot is -Rice for hitting her or her for staying and marrying him.

Like RR said in the other thread, this looked like a two-way toxic relationship. She hit him too in that vid.

 

[Cami]

Yeah, they seemed to be in a fight and she took a swat at him before thy even got in the elevator. Perfectly healthy, functional couple, I see why they married.

I would never hit a woman. Restrain her maybe if she really got carried away but that's about it. I couldn't do it.

Well, okay, maybe this chick comes at me and I'd have to take measures.

jaysus that looks painful other day i jump up to try to get the cayenne off the ceiling cami lays one of those hits on me - had to shake off a stinger

 

[Mudcat]

Gotta plead ignorance. Would there be a penalty for that? Facestomping I mean?

 

[MrX]

Looks a bit unsportsmanlike to me.

 

[bacon]

I don't see what's unsportsmanlike about inserting your cleats into someone's facemask. Seems like a subtle way of saying hello.

Looked it up. 15 yard unnecessary roughness penalty.

I buy that. Sure, you could argue it was an accident - a hurdle that came up short - you could compare it to a stiff-arm - which is legal - it is similar in effect.

But ultimately it is a face stomp. 15 yards.

Vlad Guerrero's 15 year old son already hitting bombs. He's 6'2" 220.

I'd be starting him on the roids about now, time to beef up. Nice swing.

 

[Matty]

Nice relaxed stance. Guy's pro.

 

[Mudcat]

I wonder if they will go ahead with the scheduled NFL games today or not bother.

There's been talk that Goodell might hold them up because of this post but he he's not sure if he might have seen this post yet.

I do find that the pick 'em pool format powerful sucks though.

Like I check the nyj/GB game early and the Jets have jumped out to a lead - I have GB - and I'm like Then later I see GB has come back and taken the lead and I'm

Then it occurs to me. Every-fokken-body is going to have GB. Same with the Seattle game. I'm pissed that that pick doesn't come through - but then the light comes on: everyone has them.

And okay, it's probably not true. In each case there are probably 3 people out of 45 who have the other team - so it is legitimate to root for my pick. In a way.

But it just seems so lame.
