Exactly how much head does one have to give Goodell to get that kind of protection?

Like how Talib got suspended for the eyepoke, but DeCastro only gets an $8k fine.

Burfict wasn't going to be fined for the Ben hit, but they cried and then he did get fined, but nobody mentions Spaeth trying to break Burfict's knee.

.....now granted you don't do it very much,  I found you whining about Burfict being dirty 3 times in a thread.

2. Yes, and no?

P.S.  This guy found your mom's pad.

(12-23-2015, 05:19 PM)SteelCitySouth Wrote: The correct euphemism requires a change to the Kettle to be correct.  See in this version the Pot calling the Kettle black indicates that the pot is an idiot for saying anything to the Kettle because they are essentially the same.  This is incorrect.  This euphemism is supposed to convey projection not equality.  In the correct usage the pot is black and the kettle is polished metal and is reflecting the image of the pot back to the pot.  Essentially saying that the pot is an idiot because he is only describing himself/herself.
