Attending events with your SO’s Ex?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Welcome back MIA family! Blanca is back from her holidays with plenty of presents, pounds and stories to tell. The good news is that Roland and I survived our first holiday blitz and are still together. We just celebrated our two-month anniversary, which means the honeymoon phase is beginning to wear off, allowing us to really get to know eachother.
With that said, today’s blog is a Blanca dilemma, one that arose during our 10-hour drive to my folks’ house.
For the past 15 years, Roland has attended a Super Bowl day chili cook-off at his best friend’s home. He naturally wants me to go and to enter the contest with my white chicken chili recipe, but he recently let it slip that his ex girlfriend won the past few ones and, oh yeah, still goes to the party.
In fact, his friend’s wife (the party hostess) and the ex are now really good friends. This woman, let’s call her Sarah, brings her new beau, but it’s clear to everyone that her new boyfriend is clueless about her past with Roland.
I have to admit - I’m not really keen on going. Being that our relationship is so new, I think it would be uncomfortable to spend the day with a woman he dated for so long (three years) and considered marrying. I am happier not knowing what she looks like, what she sounds like, etc., though I’m sure she is a perfectly nice person.
I told Roland that maybe he could go and have a great time while I hang out with my friends, but he explained that day is important to him and he wants to spend it watching football with me at his side. In other words, awesome day for Roland, stressful day for Blanca.
He says that we would likely run into his exes at some point anyway, but I counter that I can’t control chance run-ins, but I can choose what parties to attend. Further, I have met his good friends on many occasions, so I’m not worried that it will seem I never hang out with his gang. In fact, I was just at the same friends’ home this weekend, sans the ex-girlfriend.
So what should we do?
1) Am I wrong to not want to go? I wondered if this was just an age issue (meaning perhaps I’m simply immature) but in talking to a range of people, I’m finding more of a male/female divide on the subject.
2) Should I go, recognizing that if it is important to him, I should be there?
3) Should he have been more upfront about the guest list when initially inviting me? Further, have any of you taken a new love to parties without telling them your ex is there?
4) As my friend believes, should I go simply to assert myself as the new woman in his life?
5) When you have ended relationships, did you relinquish friends in the process? For example, when I left my last two-year relationship, I stopped going to certain small events knowing that it would make my ex uncomfortable.
Have at it MIA friends - 2009 is promising to be a year of growth!

Good morning, Blanca. You’re about to raked over the coals (LOL).
Anyway, I think you should go w/Roland. You already know that this is an important day for him,and he wants to share it w/you. So what his ex will be there. Be the mature young lady that you are and stand by your man of 2 months side. This day doesn’t have to be a stressful day. It will be if YOU make it that way. I have more to say, but have to do some work.

Now…on to you Blanca. LOL
1) Glad you and R-Boogie are still going strong!
2) He drove w/ you 10 hours to your parents house that’s love. Seriously. lol
3) Life will throw you uncomfortable situations. At least with this cookout, you have control over the situation and knowledge about what’s going on. He’s told you it’s important. So be there. He’s been there for you. She’s with someone else, he’s with you. It will be good for you to meet her and make your own assessments. If you and Roland make it last, you will see her at least once a year. So start getting used to the idea now. Start planning like this situation isn’t going away, cuz it isn’t.

In addition, I would go Blanca, but I wouldn’t enter a chili recipe. The ex has won a few times, just let her win. I don’t think the little “new girl” competition is even necessary. I would just tell Roland you’d like to spend your time getting to know his crew better.
He “let it slip” huh? Well, at least you go the truth. And why is Roland’s crew litting Sarah’s man run around looking stupid and clueless?

Blanca, when you guys are introduced be gracious and all smiling. Don’t steal glances in her direction as the day unwinds. She’s there w/her new man and you’re there w/Roland. Remember, they’re exes for a reason. A 10-hour drive is a long drive. Be there for your man and never let another woman stop you from experiencing new things w/YOUR MAN!

Happy New Year everyone.
Blanca what can be said about you that hasn’t already been said about cowards. You bowed down and kissed his parents azz now you’ve tucked your tail over his ex girlfriend. Who do you stand tall on?
Here’s your lesson for the 09 because its apparent you haven’t learned this yet. Fugg everyone. His ex is as uncomfortable about you as you are about her. Go, stand tall and let them all kiss your azz. You take a great opportunity to “man up” and squander it by bending over to kiss anyones azz that may have had a brief role in Wonderboy’s life.
The sad part is later on this week you’ll be pounding your chest about what a strong independant woman you are. SMDH

My comment,
Go Blanca. Darn the other chick.
One proviso, though. Do you, but don’t be the “insecure holding his hand hugging all over him, marking your territory” chick. That behavior embarrasses everyone involved and gives ole girl all Hand. And likely, if this ^^ isn’t your normal behavior, it’ll PO ole boy off too.

Go to the dayum party. Be your most fabulous (not to show her up but because you’re supposed to be up on your game anyways). Make the dayum chili. Ignore the ex or be polite to her (either one works for me). If you’re worried about asserting anything to anybody, you got some issues that you need to work on.
Tell ROLAND he could have kept all that extra information to his dayum self. Should have just told you that y’all were going and that she might be there. Don’t nobody wanna hear all that other ish.

First of all, it’s a Super Bowl Party, i.e. venue for drunken examples of arrested development. WTF with that?
1) You’re not wrong for not wanting to go. He’s more than a bit obtuse for resisting.
2) If you don’t want to go, for whatever reason, then don’t go.
3) He should absolutely have been more upfront. Leaving his ex’s new beau clueless is a poor reflection on his character and that of his friends.
4) If you have to attend a Super Bowl Party to assert your position in his life, what does that say about what your position really is, and what does it say about his life? That sort of thing appeals to you?
5) The end of long relationships costs one some friends, too. Even the friends themselves would prefer it to be that way.

Good points all. I have to say, maybe because I’ve lived in different cities or am not as frisky as The Truth may think, I’ve never been in the same room with two people with whom I’ve been intimate. To me, that is the Height of uncomfortable and just seems a little too communal. I’ve also been fortunate to never really have to interact with my previous boyfriends’ exes. I suppose I find something odd with knowing multiple people in one room have been sexually involved. A bit casual for my taste, but perhaps mine alone. ;)

I was just about to say that!
There’s nothing better at any function than to see the “ex” putting on! Pure Comedy! And that person (guys do it too) is always ridiculed incessantly after.
Went to a wedding over the holiday where the respected ex’s of the couple were there (and boy could you tell!)
Got one coming up too that ought to be really fun to watch.

Happy New Year E’rybody!!!
I am happier not knowing what she looks like, what she sounds like, etc., though I’m sure she is a perfectly nice person.
Blanca, go’ead to the party, ‘cause trust me, you’re at least as attractive as the ex-chick. No dude is bringing some new chick that’s 4 steps behind the old chick to a big throwdown like that.
I’d even go as far as to say that you’re way badder than the ex, and this might even be a little “see I can get a badder chick than you” jab at old girl.
Either way, keep it classy, always nice, above all the extra… and don’t fall into any cat holes.
Speaking of which…
‘Ey Leggs. You mentioned that you wanted a 3-piece with no biscuit last week. Can you clarify how you wanted that - 2 drumsticks and a breast or 2 breasts and a drumstick?

abc 4) If you have to attend a Super Bowl Party to assert your position in his life, what does that say about what your position really is, and what does it say about his life? That sort of thing appeals to you? I agree, that doesn’t appeal to me at all. I’d rather avoid what feels uncomfortable to me and let him have a fun day on his own. I’d be happy as a bug in rug doing my own thing and keeping my mental space clear. But alas, relationships have compromise…just have to determine what a fair compromise is.

Happy New Year fellow Bloggers! I just got back from NYC and I froze my happy butt off in 17 degree weather. If I had chestnuts they would need to roasting on an open fire! I miss my home…but I can NOT live there anymore! Anyway….
On topic Blanca, it seems that you really like this guy so you should just take one for the team and go with him. But…make sure you look FABULOUS when doing so!You can make sporty look sexy without going overboard and looking like you are trying. The key to fabulous-ness is to make it look effortless. I swear when I pull my hair back in a ponytail or a bun is when I get the most compliments. I was told that the hair hides my face when I should show it more. If your hair looks more like a lonely-tail or an only-tail then you can buy a sensible ponytail. Find out who his favorite team is and get an outfit to showcase your support. But again..make sure it’s Fab and shows the body shape (ie: fitted baby tee- jeans, hot boots). Now while you are there, size of the ex without letting anybody know that you are doing that. Be friendly, but be on guard just in case somebody wnats to say some ole slick sht from their lips. In that case be sarcastic and make them have to try to figure out if you are insulting them or not.Be attentive to him without being clingy. Offer to get him a beer and a plate. For some reason men like that whole service witt a smile thing! LOL Now if his team wins…you should get some lessons from Foots and ARED and give him a dance while wearing a jersey, a cap and heels after you leave.(wink wink)* LOL
WHAT’S YOUR BLOG NEW YEAR RESOLUTION? IF ANY… Don’t make any more resolutions! That way I don’t feel like a failure for breaking them! I do same I will stop being so nice and I willnot do anything fro anybody anymore. My kindness has been mistaken for weakness and I do not get the same respect back! So nuts to that man! LOL

@Blanca
Regarding 11:22, it happens more often than people think.
The bulk of the “tension” is when one party hasn’t gotten over what happened, how it ended, or whatever.
It’s nothing to hang out with an ex, especially when there are mutual friends involved. Except for the thinking about the really freaky stuff

Good Morning All,
Blanca, first off this is a non-issue. I think Truth said it best he bit the bullet and drove 10 hours to visit your parents(people he didn’t know from adam’s tom kat) and you can’t spend 5 hours-watching the steelers whip up on the panthers.(see I snuck my superbowl predictions in there). Anywhoo..this is your insecurity showing. So what they dated for 3 years obviously it didnt work and they have each moved on. So you have to deal with.
As for being in the same room with two people who have been intimate..maybe your life was sheltered but I have actually had dinner with two guys I was intimate with..they didn’t know about each other and I don’t think it would have made a bit of difference if they did..(not to me anyway)

Be sure not to date a man with children then. It’s guaranteed that you would interact with his ex on a fairly regular basis and the child would be obvious proof that they slept together.
On parties and exes, go if you feel like going, don’t go if you don’t feel like going. But don’t let this woman’s presence be your deterrent. The older you both get, the more apt you will be to run into people your ex has dated. Learn how to deal with uncomfortable feelings now.

I submit, Blanca, that compromise is a 2-way street, and if Super Bowl parties sound like a whole bunch of no fun, yet the SO is insistent upon your presence at such an event, the one who has failed to compromise is him. To coerce a girl into doing anything she doesn’t want to do or is uncomfortable with is unbecoming of a gentleman, to say the least.
Ain’t no way I’d show up at such a drunken and unruly brawl as a Super Bowl party! Puh-leeeze!

On Topic - Blanco, I with others here on the blog that say you’re giving ole girl TOO much power! You’re making a mountain out of a molehill. The man obviously cares for you because he spent the holidays with you and rode 10 hours. He invited you to the party. Get over the “uncomfortableness” of it all and go. I’m also with BK, I bet you look way better than ole girl, but that’s not important. It may seem petty, but naturally you want to show up looking your best, even if ole girl was not coming. Me personally, I’m not competitive about looks because beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I think I’m a decent looking person, but I may not be someone else’s taste. I’ve seen many dudes leave gorgeous women for less-attractive ones because of other factors. And yeah, don’t hang all over him either and act insecure. But put your foot in that chili you bring. That’s where I would be competitive, but I’m a foodie and the Iron Chef in me would surely come out!LOL!

I presume by such a rude comment, BK, that a Super Bowl party would be right up your alley. Good for you. Certainly, it’s not difficult for you to comprehend that Super Bowl parties would receive the same scrutiny from the likes of me that more worthwhile and less juvenile activities would receive from you.
To paraphrase your sentiment, it’s 2009, stop wasting your time on yet another excuse to sludge brain cells, ‘culling the herd’ as they say. There are so many more worthwhile things to do, the the herd is already so depleted!

Ain’t no way I’d show up at such a drunken and unruly brawl as a Super Bowl party! Puh-leeeze!
Why are you assuming that all Super Bowl Parties are the same?
I’ve been some that had no alcohol because it was a function hosted by a church. Conversely, I’ve been to some that had more alcohol that is humanly possible to consume in one night.
So don’t assume that they are all unruly. Sometimes, it is just an excuse to break bread with friends and nothing more.
It isn’t cool to make sweeping generalization about any group. That would like us assuming that you were a coke-head because you are a musician. We know musicians like Keith Richards has only three brain cells due to drugs. But, I imagine that there are musicians that aren’t drugged out as well.

Unlike Keith Richards, I actually studied music, learned and understand it beyond 3 chord names on a guitar, and can make a claim to professionalism in the craft. He’s just a rock star, to which the term ‘musician’ rarely, if ever, applies. Not that he’d care about that; most folks would rather be a rock star than a musician. It’s understandable.
Beyond the drunken brawl that a Super Bowl party represents, it’s also a gathering to celebrate a bunch of jerks that these days people still call “The NFL”. I don’t see the point.
More sweeping generalizations? Sure, I suppose so. But the girl says flat out she’d rather not attend the fiasco. Why should she go? I mean, good reasons.

Never been to a drunken brawl at a Superbowl party. Most that I attended were quiet home functions with all the food and drinks one would expect. I know that year the Fakecons went, many churches held Superbowl Parties and showed the game on the jumbo screens..(think there was some legal problems after that) they had food and drinks(no alcohol) and people came out to support the team.

“Damn woman, not all red blooded women were meant to be the next American Top Model. Get over it already.”
Then he went on to mock her for saying she doesn’t know how she got back there. He said every time she put something into her mouth that was laden with fat and calories she put herself on step closer to those extra 40 pounds. If it’s who you are it’s just who you are.
He meant that directly at her thru that television.

There is no problem is she doesn’t want to go to the party. However, there is a problem is she lets some chick deter her. She seems to have more of an issue with the ex being there. It even sound like she would attend with less hesitation if the ex-girl wasn’t going to be there.
That was the question in the post.
It was not whether the SuperBowl and celebrating the NFL was pointless. You just used it to give a sermon “celebrate” your morals and throw out prejudices.

Look here Maslo, actually I don’t go to Super Bowl parties; but that’s neither here nor there. A SB party had nothing to do with the point that I was making, which was why do you turn your nose up at each and every subject that doesn’t involve the symphony or a night at that opera.
You’re cool and all but I’d bet that it’s hard for you to engage a person in entertaining conversation for more than 3 minutes.

Specifically, as to your dilemma, let it go. She might have been there first, but you’re the one who’s there now, so you won. Go, be nice, have fun.
Probably my most awkward “ex” moment came when my (now) wife and I were first dating. She has a daughter by a first marriage, and we needed to take her by to see grandma and grandpa (her ex husband’s parents).
We get there, it’s very rural, very redneck. Obviously, being the new guy, I’d rather wait in the car. About five minutes later, this mountain of a man comes ambling down the walk, and introduces himself. Says, “son, if you’re gonna be part of the family, you might as well come on in.”
I went in, we stayed two hours, had a great time, and I look forward to visiting them-my wife’s ex in-laws are two of the nicest people I’ve ever met.
Honestly though, my wife has a jealousy issue, and it sometimes drives me nuts. I’m with her because I WANT to be. Same thing with your guy, if he wanted to be with the ex, he’d be there.

I’ve never been in the same room with two people with whom I’ve been intimate.
I had been dating a lady for about three weeks when she asked me if I would escort her to the funeral of a guy in her past. Before the night was over I realized she had slept with four of the men there, including the dead guy (hopefully when he was still breathing). It was awkward but I got over it (did kind of wonder if the woman had ever heard of the word “no”…never a good idea for a lady to reveal too much of her past).
Oh well, my point is almost all of us have “pasts” and we cannot let that get in the way of today and tomorrow.

It explains how alot of the financial standards we now follow came to be, including stocks, bonds, and insurance. It also explains the S&L scandal and Enron and the housing collapse.
Put down your porn for a just a few minutes to educate yourself on the current financial crisis, and hopefully how to avoid the next one.

Well, that’s true enough, I do have a bias against the NFL, and pro sports in general, as far as that goes, but especially football. I’m happy to watch college games — anyone want to pick the Texas/Ohio State game tonight? — but once they go pro, I’m pretty much done watching them.
Even at that, though, I doubt I’d go to an Orange Bowl party.
Specific to exes, I’ve no interest in meeting hers nor introducing her to mine. My exes and I don’t share a circle of friends — I pretty much gave all the friends up. Even with 3 kids, there’s next to no opportunity for my exes to appear. I had to meet one of her exes once, it wasn’t a big deal.
If Blanca doesn’t want to deal with the exes, I don’t see why she should.

As far as what she’d rather do, Blanca can offer that for herself. Maybe a chili cookoff and beerfest while sitting next to her SO and watching the Super Bowl on television sounds like fun, especially as a venue in which to meet a bunch of new people — maybe not, she’s already indicated as much.

There is a difference in “dealing” with and ex, and “running into [them]” in social circles.
Dealing with an ex is like Footsy said “baby mama/daddy” drama. However, unless the person you’re dating is:
Not from the town you meet [her] in (red flag);
Still a virgin;
Or has been in an Ashram or on sabbatical until you two met;
Chances are you’re going to run into someone from the past of the person you dating (esp. in this small city).
More to the point, Blanca was describing (I think) that general awkwardness of having to socialize with an ex.
And, as has been stated, that should pose no anxiety for anyone, but it does/has/will happen again.

I don’t give money to the guys on the street. However, I have bought food for them. That is when you see who really is hungry and who is scheming.
The last time that I gave money to that guy at the corner of Marietta Street and Northside Drive, he pulled out a wad of money and put my $5 dollar on the inside of a stack that had twenties and fifties.
A few weeks ago I bought Happy meals (I was light in the pocket myself), for a lady and her kids down at 5 points. I won’t give money anymore, but I buy food.
I even had one guy get greedy at the Popeye’s on Lee Street. He asking for three piece meal with all breasts (which costs more). I looked at him sideways and got him a three-piece but it wasn’t all breasts.

I can empathize with your concerns regarding this type of social situation with your current beau’s, his ex and his friends…after all, the two of you have not been involved for a very long period of time…the relationship is still very new…and it seems that the holiday venture went well for the bothof you…so quite honestly, surviving that was a lot of territory to cover within the last two months…whew!!!!
But it is also time to move forward with what is now, bor both him and for you…and while the situation may appear to be daunting, it is doable…and the determinant variable is not your beau or his ex…it is you…I would recommend that you go and enjoy yourself…if, and only if, you will allow yourself to feel comfortable enough in this social setting to be at ease with it…funny how most of what we fear or doubt exist more in our own heads instead of in external reality.

Dan, I’d say that having to attend a party with an ex in attendance, especially in a scenario where said ex’s new attachment knows nothing about the history and so one would have something to keep implicitly secret oneself, constitutes having to ‘deal with it’ rather than having a chance encounter or meeting.
As far as exes remaining friends and friends of friends and all that, it’s not my cup of tea. I’d rather not deal with it, and so I don’t. Ex-wives and girlfriends are ex, if we could have remained friends, we probably wouldn’t have split up.

How the ex deals with her new man and the secrets she keeps has nothing whatsoever to do with Blanca. That’s extraneous information.
As far as dealing with ex, in a social circle that you may have formed or culled while together, often the “friends” have to choose who to be with post-breakup. It is rare indeed that all parties remain close.
So my question to you is, regarding the ending of your relationships: do you let the mutual friends go too? And, could you be civil (and eventually more) to an ex in the prescence of said mutual friends?

Have fun…I have year-long courses. So, no textbook cash rape for me.
BTW,I saw your Superbowl prediction. I had the same one until yesterday. Ravens will come out of the AFC. They have the defense to do it. Especially, if the rumors of Ben R. being a little gun shy after leaving the field on a stretcher in the Steelers last game. I also hear that he won’t get hit in practice either. Which means that he won’t get that scare out of him until one of the Chargers get to him. It is his second concussion (the other one was the motorcycle accident). I don’t know if you guys could make it with Byron Leftwich.
I still think that the Panthers will win the NFC with their smash and dash (which is what Titans call their running game too.). Carolina’s smash and dash will triumph the Giants Earth Wind and Fire. Who comes up with these stupid nicknames?
abc
Texas will win tonight. Texas has an experienced QB (Colt McCoy), but OSU has a true freshman QB. Terrelle Pryor is good but the Texas DC is a friend of mine (Will Muschamp played with UGA back in the 90s) and will have some things to confuse the young QB.

Actually I do. They’re called plane trips.
For instance, my girl has a business trip to Paris next month. As soon as she gives me the dates, I’m booking a flight and meeting her there.

For simpler installation and servicing, the fuel inlet and return connections are now incorporated into a single manifold mounted on the lower side of the engine. A two-piece flywheel housing enable both sterndrive and inboard configurations. A full metal top cover and fully-jacketed, water-cooled exhaust manifold with modifications to the turbocharger and heat exchanger protect the fuel system components and result in a lower profile.

Of course I’d be civil, at minimum, Dan. At the same time, there’s no interaction on any level between me and exes. Cordial and light conversation, for a minute or 2, sure, but situations that would require that don’t happen anyway.
I let them have all the mutual friends. It’s not as if there were hundreds and hundreds of them, and I figured they’d need them more than I would. I am, after all, a guy. I would expect the guys’ wives and girlfriends to want them to stick with my exes and not with me, just because I’m a guy. I certainly don’t want to remain in social circles with any exes of mine. I just don’t!
I agree, PG, Texas should roll over them, I’m hoping for a good game though — there have been a couple of upsets. Ole Miss over Texas Tech was a bit of a surprise. Utah stomping Bama was unexpected.

I have the iPhone, but I’ve tested the Storm, the gPhone, and I like the i the best.
The Storm is a i knockoff (to me) but had it come out first, it would’ve had the same impact though. The g is bulky and takes to much coordination to use.
But the Storm is an upgrade from the original blackberry (from what I’m told).

kimmie, I wouldn’t call it spoiled. Just grown. Airfares have hardly kept up with inflation. 12 years ago, I could have bought a cross country ticket to Cali for $200. In 2009 I can buy one for $215.
If I want to get up and go somewhere on a whim, weekend specials come up every week. I have never felt the need to spend 10 hours in a car! Especially if I’m not even going to see my loved ones. Egads!
So yeah, I’d give someone points for making that sacrifice for me.

I worry about Big Ben too. There was no way he should have been in that last game(menfolks-thinking they are superheros). If he is not taking hits in practice then I hope Leftwhich is warming up. I don’t hold much hope in Leftwhich but when he is on..he is on..he has a candy a* though in terms of injury. Either way as a Steeler fan I have to go with my guys. But if we had to lose the AFC then I def want the Ravens to win it all. I believe they will be the best representative of the AFC (next to the Steelers of course.) Now as for Carolina..two words..Steve Smith. Once he has the ball..count it. They are going to have to do something about that defense..they seem to shut down from time to time. Offense scores point..it is Defense that wins games Congrats to James Harrison on winning Defensive Player of the Year..Steel Curtain baby!!
Falcons fans for the record..Mike Smith robbed Tony Sparano for the Coach of the Year honors..I know it was only one vote but still that honor should have gone to Sparano. Taking a team from 1-15 to the playoffs this year and as a rookie head coach…naw dude was robbed.

Actually Amazon I feel that car rides are good for spending alone time. You can talk, listen to music, or just enjoy the different sceneries with that special person. While it takes longer to get where you are going, like I said it good alone time. And it is somewhat of a test to see if the two of you are cut out to be in close quarters for an extended period of time.
I like road trips. The most time I have spent in a car alone with a special someone is 6 hours. But I believe 10 would not be a problem.

Apparently he was upset over his divorce he owed the wife about 10,000 either way dude killed the wife, her parents..and took 5 other folks out before he set the house ablaze and left. He killed himself in his brother’s driveway.
It got me thinking in these days and times maybe divorced people or those going through hard times(can’t get along with baby daddy or mama) may want to work together and look for reasonable solutions. While this was extreme I could easily see this happening regularly as this recession worsens.

Utah stomping Bama was unexpected.
I wasn’t surprised. I was surprised at the ease in which it was done, but I had my bet on Utah. It was hard to pick against the SEC, but Utah talked and acted as if they had something to prove. Alabama talked as if the Sugar Bowl was a just their consolation prize after losing to Florida. Even Saban said, they Utah wasn’t from a “Real BCS conference”. I knew that Utah didn’t have a gimmick offense like Hawaii did last year. I expected the Utah to win (especially after Alabama’s star offensive lineman was suspended for contact with an agent), but I didn’t expect them to pretty much control the game though.
Kym
There was no way he should have been in that last game(menfolks-thinking they are superheros).
It was not about being a superhero. It was about keeping continuity. It would not have been good for him to have the last game off and then the bye. I agree with playing him. However, that is the risk that is taken by playing him. The wild card team (Chargers) have played every week and have that playoff mentality since they were 4-8. History shows that the teams with byes usually get off to slow starts on offense. It is a darn if you do, darn if you don’t proposition.

I agree Texas should roll tonight. What do the two of you think about FL vs OK?
I am a former USC Gamecock player and I really hate Florida. However, I think that their defense is better than people give them credit, especially Brandon Spikes. Bradford will have to get rid of the ball quicker than he did against Big 12. Texas had the highest ranked Big 12 defense, and the rest of the Big 12 ranked no better than 46. He lost to Texas.
As far as offenses go, Urban Meyer recruits speed for that spread option that the Gaytors (spelled the way on purpose) run. Percy Harvin will probably be the fastest guy on that field in Miami. Let’s not forget, that Florida is playing in Florida. It would be easier to find Florida fans in Florida. Even though, Gainesville is a long way from Miami, it is closer than Normal Oklahoma is to Miami.
I really hate to say it, but I think Florida will win.
Bradford better look out for Brandon Spikes because he is a beast and can disrupt the Sooner gameplan almost singlehandedly.

Call me a punk, whatever, but the day the Kid would’ve thought about playing with a strained groin at RB or broken anything is the day they need to cart me off.

And driving while engaging in meaningful conversation is not that distracting. All the road trips that I have taken we start out early in the morning. That way we are awake and attentive. And talking keeps the mind active helping you not fall off to sleep if you decide to travel at night.

Youngblood was a Gator. I’ve heard about him playing with a broken leg. That was also during a time when the union wasn’t powerful either. You could get cut back then for not being able to play. “You can’t make the club in the Tub” is something that I used to hear. It was one of the reasons for the strike in the 80s.
They way he and others from that era have been treated since they retired has soured me against the NFL. I recently saw Earl Campbell. Watching him walk made my knees hurt. The NFL doesn’t want to provide medical expenses for those who paved the way for the riches that they now enjoy. I know many that say that it wasn’t worth it.
Yeah, I played hurt many times. However, never had an injury to the head like a concussion. I’ve played with cast on my arm (I was DL) and many a strained groin and hamstring.

PoppaG Dude you are not helping me transition into manhood with my son at all. My son is about 5’6 could be 5’7 now and wears a man size 12. Yes I said man’s 12 and he is 12. sigh the doctor told him that based on his growth chart(he has never in his life been on that chart anywhere..he could possible be about 6’3 or 6’4.
This is punishment for me..because I wore a women’s size 11 starting in I guess 8th grade..which means when I stopped growing I was at a solid 12. I hated shoe shopping. Shoes is not something I have a love of at all.

I have no desire to shop….ever. It is a necessary evil in my book. Try being 6’8” and people looking everywhere you go. Most stores don’t have my size anyways. What is the point of going to Old Navy when all I can really buy is a hat that says “Old Navy”? Their long sleeves are still too short.
Jos A. Bank had a buy 1 get 2 free sale on Christmas Eve. I can’t get anything there either. My brothers-in-law hit the jackpot.

.Mike Smith robbed Tony Sparano for the Coach of the Year honors
I disagree. I actually think Mike Smith had to do it on his own with a team that was just down in the dumps period and not just about losses. They lost their franchise QB and their cowardly coach ran back to college with his tail between his legs. (Petrino left those guys a letter in their locker saying that he was leaving; he didn’t even have the twig and berries to talk to them as a team.) Smith had to change the team in one season. Alge (who was probably the best incumbent player that Atlanta had) and traded their best corner in DeAngelo Hall. He had the presence of mind to have a veteran player being the leader in each position. So, the vets mentored the young’uns. With this turnover, he made them into a team. He convinced people like Lawyer Milloy to stay when they could have said that I am an old azz man and can’t wait for the Falcons to turn it around. He got everyone to buy in. In only one year. There was no Tuna to help him. He had a rookie GM as well with Dimitroff. (Ask Cleveland how their young GM workedout…oh yeah they just fired him) What the Falcons did was indeed quite impressive.
Tony Sparano had Bill Parcells in his corner to help him. You can’t tell me that Parcells didn’t have a say in personnel aka Chad Pennington. I’m sure that Parcells gave Sparano some words of advice along the way.
I’m willing to give more props to Jim Harbaugh than Sparano.

Raqi nobody ever thinks that the deadbeat dad would kill his child. As conspiracy theory as I am I would never think that. Well now I will. When I say anybody is capable of anything…..I really mean it.
Example, yesterday my dad could not take me to the airport so my mami called a towncar service. Well this driver shows up with another guy in the front seat. I did not see the person until we had already left my neigborhood. Now this is a reputable company but I was still thinking these men could take me somewhere and rape and kill me. So I text my mami to call the service and they called him and said he is not supposed to have anyone else in the car. He tells me the guy is his 15 year old son…the son (who was holding tissues to his face and changing them made me think he was sick or something)said he was 17. Either way..I am in a car with 2 males I do not know! That was the most uncomfortable ride to Newark Airport. Trust me I will complain. But you see where my mind went. But a father killing his kid…that is beyond me. So I guess every mother should be careful of the a reluctant father and not try to force him to spend time with the kid. It may save their lives! Wow!
Truth You are a hot mess! LOL

Then, I had another in 10th grade. That one was huge and strange. It seems like in 3 months I went through countless amounts of clothes and shoes. There was one pair of shoes that I only wore once.

I am not the biggest Atlanta fan, either. But, I do understand that they had a Rookie General Manager (Baltimore still has Ozzie Newsome picking), They had a Rookie Head Coach, They had a Rookie QB.
Getting Chad Pennington is a Tuna move. When was the last time that Parcells used a rookie QB? Phil Simms may be the youngest one that he used. Parcells is the guy that called Vinny Testaverde like 50 times. He is the NFL’s version of Larry Brown. He hates young QBs. So what does he do in Miami….drafts Chad Henne from Michigan, but gets Chad Pennington.

She sometimes reminds me of I think it was Eddie Murphy talking about Maseo and another James Brown band member talking during a show.
James B: Movin. Het. Grovin. Het. Kin I getta blah blah. HET.
Maseo: What he say?
Other Dude: Hayo if I know. We gettin’ paid, keep playin’.

Kym beware of a cat at the bottom of his life. He’s dangerous. I don’t feel sorry for these chicks getting cut to the bone. They went for blood in their way and he went in his. A dude with fight in him isn’t rolling over to take dizznick from some chick.
This is getting to be about who wants it the most, and it seems like the fellas are making their power move.

…exactly. My post was directed to The Big Shiitah, not folks who take rides on Short Yellow Buses…but it’s interesting, through your own confirmation, it seems you should have NO PROBLEM interpreting my post.
It may be a new year, but my post shall remain the same…however, I find it amusing how folks still feel the need to post under dummy monikers to simply state an Opinion.

Blue If he gets fired..its his own fault. He should know better. When you pay for a taxi it is supposed to be you and the driver. That is it. If he wanetd to show his son the airport then he should do it on his own time. Not what I paid $80 for! For all I know this dude could have killed me. Only I saw his face…well my 2 girls saw him. My mami didn’t want to see me leave. Either way…these days anything can happen.
