Dead, Tortured Dog Found in Ramona
Good day. While respecting your views on this matter, I'm thinking that by design you might not be aware of some of the background pertaining to Obama's approbation of the felon. About two years ago, the highly respected ex-Colts/Bucs coach Tony Dungy visited the man in prison and came away with the opinion that he was truly repentant for what he had done. As such, Dungy assumed the role of mentor (a role he has taken on with many young players for 15 years, and has spent a lot of time counseling players in prison)and helped guide the perp after his sentence was served, some would say with the sole aim of getting the QB back into football. While that was indeed a part of the plan, I believe Mr. Dungy's intentions and grasp of the situation were genuine. In fact, most teams passed on the offer, except the Philadelphia Eagles. Their coach, Andy Reid, has two sons who are in jail for drug offenses. And Dungy's son committed suicide in 2005. Perhaps this unusual bond helps explain why they thought the ex-player in question might be allowed a second chance. While the Eagles were extremely concerned about fan reaction, they decided to take a chance on the QB, as long as Dungy would vouch for the player. The owner of the Eagles is a rabid (please forgive me) dog lover, and struggled mightily with the decision, which he ultimately made due to Dungy's involvement. Here's an excerpt from four months ago: "Eagles quarterback _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ made the most of his lockout downtime on Saturday by joining former Bucs and Colts coach Tony Dungy, now a mainstay on NBC’s Football Night in America, for a visit to a Tampa-area prison. They were joined by 35 members of Abe Brown Ministries. 'It was very humbling and at the same time, a bit overwhelming. You really didn’t know what to expect,” _ _ _ _ said, per the Associated Press. “Hopefully I can be an example to somebody. The thing that I was trying to get across is that we all can be instruments of change. That’s something that I’ve been proactive about since I stepped out of prison and I’m enjoying every minute of it. 'I told _ _ _ _ when we met in Leavenworth is that he’d be able to do some things, say some things and reach some people that no one else can,” Dungy said. “Other people can go in and say ‘Here is what you should do.’ It may be coming from somebody who they really respect, but not somebody who really knows what they’ve been through." - Mike Florio on March 19, 2011 on nbcsports.com I'm hoping this might help clarify what might have added to Obama's decision to come out in favor of giving people second chances, while in no way downplaying the horrors associated with the crime.— July 25, 2011 7:27 a.m.
Arnold & Maria's Son Hospitalized After Surfing Accident
Mr. Marks, you are an irresponsible buffoon. Are you acquainted with the lad's physicians? Do you have first-hand knowledge of his medical records? If not, then why are you going after this youngster in such a derogatory fashion? Oh, right we still have that "last taboo" (a.k.a. fat slobs) for the sanctimonious posers to feast upon. Positioning yourself for a possible Murdoch resurrection? With the bow-tie affectation, you and your churlmate Tucker Carlson could bill yourselves as "The Terrible Tabloid Twins".
