Here's an excellent history of Ames...he was an alcoholic, had one failed marriage, and in debt up to his ears. Not trying to excuse him, just to provide some context. What he did was horrendous on several levels. https://irp.fas.org/congress/1994_rpt/ssci_ames.htm

Well put...to a large part our enemies define and unify us. However, I leave you with the great philosopher Pogo: "We have met the enemy, and he is us."

The key to political idiots is that they sow the seeds of their own demise. This is going to be a major league soap opera that will not end well...probably means that we are going to get more New Yorkers down here in Charleston...oh boy.

Why is it that we focus on the suppliers of illegal drugs rather than the consumers? There is a market for drugs because we, as a society, want them. We pay for them...without the consumers there would be no dealers. What is it in our society that makes us the largest drug consumers on the...

I cannot agree more about the direction and focus of the series. Of course he could not cover everything, but he seemed to beat some drums repeatedly....ad nauseam. For instance, we know that black persons' involvement was missing from most historical accounts...but it was not the key to the...

Bottom Line -- we missed none of them. We had/have plenty of talented wide receivers. We just need some quality road graders on OL.

The problem is not the action in and of itself, as egregious as it seems. Maduro was a narco tyrant and had bankrupted Venezuela -- and was supported by Cuban troops. He needed to go...for the sake of Venezuelans. The problem is that motor mouth DJT has little or no credibility in actions...

The Pottery Barn rule of diplomacy...I really do not know what to think here...my initial reaction is "what has DJT wrought now?" I am waiting to see how this plays out, however. Why doesn't he capture Putin and his wife and end the Ukrainian War? Oh, that's right, Russia can fight back...

Our lack of physicality on the OL and DL was glaring. I was surprised at how simple shifts in IU's defensive attack totally blunted anything we tried to do. Going to be an interesting off season -- and a critical one for the program and CKD & staff.

DH's yards are amazing when you consider he has played in a pass-happy age and on some teams that had no idea how to run block. What a running back!

Great post...a lot of us miss Kyallie as he was a loyal source of news. There is a lot of flu going around in the Southeast -- so be careful. I am skipping our Christmas Eve service for that very reason...I pray you all have a safe and meaningful Christmas Eve and Day. "Unto us a child is...

The problem with a "head case" is that practice repetitions do not cure the problem. He gets "nervy" when a pass is coming to him and he knows that he MUST NOT DROP IT. He is probably thinking NEGATIVELY in that mode rather than POSITIVELY "oh boy, here's my chance to show out." Its much...

How did that work out for him? He's not exactly remembered as one of the great coaches of all time...good analogy!

thanks....crazy game...have a good Christmas!

I've got an idea...why don't we all send him a private message telling him we miss him since the game? Can you imagine having to open 50 messages or so from fans of the team that just knocked you out of the playoffs?
