Surprised the other day when Ta-Nehisi Coates, a big sports fan who writes for The Atlantic, said the unthinkable: get rid of it. This was Sunday on Up with Chris Hayes http://www.theatlantic.com/entertainment/archive/2013/01/the-assumption-of-risk-and-pro-football/272567/.

And yeah, it surprised me that something like that happened there. <br /><br />I tried to be a very attentive mom and it paid off and I think you & Hubby were the same with your kids.<br /> What still cracks me up is the day I was up at my daughter's Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-951939039397713242013-01-15T17:32:21.510-05:002013-01-15T17:32:21.510-05:00I agree.

That said, my ex and I made a point of getting to know the parents of our kids' friends and there were discussions among us when issues arose. Because we had strict rules, our kids tended to hang with kids whose parents were like us. (relieved sigh) I don't think that these kids realize how Kay Dennisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646717192332313215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-54079856740736155152013-01-15T17:15:56.680-05:002013-01-15T17:15:56.680-05:00Holy Mother of God!!!

And those who spawned them call themselves parents. <br /><br />And my mom thought my brother and I were such horrible brats!!!!<br /><br />I only wrote about this because of the community's reaction. <br /><br />Note: Ohio State was looking at one of the players involved and dropped their interest. If they accepted him, I would never watch another OSU game.

Sometimes you can't. The story our press here is focusing on involves four young people who strangled two men (reportedly casual friends), tried (unsuccessfully) to dismember the bodies, and were discovered by the police playing video games feet away from their victims'MaryContraryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350460293199385621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20703123.post-37598886330573911262013-01-15T14:23:21.377-05:002013-01-15T14:23:21.377-05:00I wouldn't bet on it either.

That there's any debate over whether the young men did anything wrong or it was "just boys being boys" says a lot about the whole community. None of them should have been there, not the perps or the victim or HMBabbhttp://hmbabb.net/myblog/noreply@blogger.com
