I don't know...Who knows who gets arrested for what in a neighborhood sometimes...I personally have never been arrested for anything...but who knows what the people three door down are doing...but if they are in the NFL, and they look at someone cross-eyed...it would be in the front page of the newspaper.

These dudes did more than look crosseyed at someone. More like they made the women crosseyed.
Come on, violence is a big problem in the NFL. Not just against women, but in general. Why are you denying it?

Okay, where did Bette and Simon go off the beam?...I said compare to what?...what is the norm for this thing?...I think it is typical behavior and within the norm for this wayward society...is it wrong, you bet...I was raised never, never to hit a girl regardless of what they do...but how do you know that the Steelers are out of wack? What are we comparing it to?

the typical Fortune 500 company ...... after all .. many teams are worth close to $1 billion

does Microsoft have 3 wife beaters per 100 employees ?

(before you insult me with a line about Microsoft being staffed by eggheads .... remember .. most of these Steeler employees went to good schools)

Glad you asked...LOL...

Not at first...I really had to work at it and actually develop a bit of charm (away from the board of course) and a personality...eventually, after much trial and error...I got very good at it...so, its possible...but it takes work.
