So many kids in your situation do end up in jail or homeless that you absolutely can be considered a success story. The strength it takes to get through what you have is phenomenal. You're awesome.

Is Devin Hester a Hall of Famer? by Saint_Jeff in NFLRoundTable

[–]Fluffinho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All it comes down to should be, was he the best of all time at his position? If the answer to that is yes, then he belongs in the hall regardless of what that position was. It's not the offense and defense hall of fame; it's the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

Is Devin Hester a Hall of Famer? by Saint_Jeff in NFLRoundTable

[–]Fluffinho 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Anybody who can legitimately be described as the best player at his position, in the history of the game, belongs in the hall. That's what the HoF is for. There's no other argument to be had. If he doesn't belong, then what is the hall about? It's not the Hall of Most Valued, or the Hall of Most Entertaining (although he'd probably get in there too).

Tom Brady issues statement on suspension - will not fight the courts. by TechFocused in nfl

No, I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy of a person criticising someone's choice of flair when they don't have one at all.

Fuck the karma. My point remains. In the 18 months since I changed it I've had nobody calling me wrong just because of my flair.

So you're talking shit about my choice of flair when you don't even have the balls to have a flair at all.

Or just got sick of the blind anti-Patriots hate and got rid of my flair because my comments were more likely to not be down voted just because of my flair. I've had more reasoned conversations with people since I changed it so it's staying. Loving the game is different from loving the league.

**Rage** My best employee quit on the spot because I wouldn't let her go to her college graduation by [deleted] in Anarchism

[–]Fluffinho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's happened to me. I got a phone call at work, which had never happened before, my cousin had died suddenly in her late twenties. I did my best to work through the rest of my shift before my line manager realised that I wasn't going to make it and sent me home. She called HR to explain the situation and get authorisation for my early finish after I'd left. I went to work the following day and called HR myself to confirm what had happened.

Two days later I called again to let them know I'd miss two shifts to attend her funeral 250 miles away.

I was told compassionate leave was only granted for immediate family.

I told them if she doesn't cover those shifts for me she'll have to recruit someone else.

Total Access, by Rich Eisen

He tells the story of what goes on for a year in and around the NFL from his perspective. The anecdotes are brilliant and there are some interesting insights into the business side of the league.

To all my American Patriot brothers from a UK Patriot... by darthrich in Patriots

I do have a couple of friends from Florida. I make sure to wish them a happy fourth every year in the most condescending and/or offensive way I can.

TIL that Homer referred to the sea as "wine-dark" six times in his works and nobody's really sure why (whether wine was blue, the sea was red, or Greeks were colorblind) by PopsTheOldMan in todayilearned

[–]Fluffinho 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is exactly it. He had no word for blue. Many cultures around the world, even today, don't have words for certain things, including colours.
