    I had no idea this story involved so much covering up and lying on the part of the Saints. Before I heard that, I thought the punishment was way too harsh. After reading about Payton's repeated lies to the NFL, I think he got what he deserved.

    I've also gotta give it up to Goodell for not playing favorites with one of the leagues most popular teams. Impressive to see someone actually hand out some discipline in today's sports world.

    I don't think it takes Benjamin Franklin to realize that it's a pretty FUBAR situation over there.

    I think the most interesting thing about all of this is how social media could really bring about some change in an area of the world where people haven't given a crap for awhile. It's also interesting how my hippie pinko liberal friends are all over this cause even though its whole purpose is to get American troops more involved.

    Reminds me of Par1s Hilton posing for that "Vote or Die" crap and not even being registered to vote.

    Edit: WTF?!?! Type in that Hilton girls name and it changes to Hilary Clinton! Hahahahahaaha!

    ^Favorite post of the year, so far.

    I can't believe they're letting him go, personally. I understand the NFL is a business, but you don't know that Andrew Luck is going to live up to the hype. You KNOW Peyton is great.

    I predict that the Redskins will pull a classic Dan Snyder and mortgage the entire District of Columbia, sell half the team, and bring Steve Largent out of retirement to be Peyton's "deep threat".

    J Robinson is the man.

    Momentary thread hijack:

    Did you know he was a Ranger back in the Vietnam days?

    I went through one of his "Intensive" camps and he told us all that he structured it on Ranger school. It was a giant kick in the balls, but took me from an also ran to setting the state pin record in one year. 28 of the shittiest/most worthwhile days of my life courtesy of J Robinson.

    The problem isn't the Air Force, it's the "everyone's a winner" mentality that has permeated American society as a whole, and thus has also infected the military. Keep in mind that the majority of O-4 and below and E-7 and below (myself included) come from the "participation trophy" generation, and the WORST thing you could possibly do to someone is hurt their all-important self esteem.

    You said it, brother.

    Watch this video about the Iowa Hawkeye wrestling team from 2002; Specifically listen to what Tom Brands says from 4:53-5:18. That is the type of attitude we need in this country.

    Not sure about the rest of my generation, but I was raised to expect to have to support myself entirely for my entire life - no government entitlements, pensions, etc. I was raised to never expect anyone but me to care about taking care of me later in life, and my parents promoted saving/investing to make sure i personally procured enough for retirement. Maybe my parents were super paranoid, but they were right when they told me life isn't fair.

    Healthcare and retirement had absolutely nothing to do with my decision to serve - probably because I was too young and dumb to realize that they are a really big deal. I just looked at it as a cool, exciting adventure with some perks.

    Now I'm not saying the government doesn't have an obligation to people who signed up with certain expectations of the reimbursement they would receive for their service, but I'm just saying in the end, there's only one person/entity you can ever expect to take care of you - and that's you.

    I felt exactly like you until my wife got pregnant, lost her job, and short notice pcs'd. Luckily, I was still in a position to provide, but it definitely is a gut check when you get thrown out of your comfort zone and lose about 40% of your family income and take on a ton of expenses (this kid is going to be 10 feet tall at the rate he eats).

    I'm in the camp that doesn't mind adhering to ROE but calls foul when they change mid-game. Especially when there are WAY more glaring problems than retirees getting their pills for cheap. No need to beat that dead horse anymore.

    nice. For those of you getting uppity about the comment, think about it next time you call a guy a feminine insult. If we're equal, the zings go both ways. If someone gay has a problem with it, why not just turn it around and mention how preppy the other guy is or make a redneck joke. I refuse to use kid gloves with one group just because they can't take a joke...by which of course I am refering to Eagle drivers...

    You seriously think I was butthurt about making fun of my beloved WGASF? I think the Eagle jokes are funny as hell.

    I took exception to the joke as it was based on the 4 recent deaths.

    I read it, processed it, and didn't find it very tasteful. I do see how it can be funny, though.

    Gonna knock off this impending mud slinging merge for a bad setup and reset/reload for the next one (that was my Rainman impression).

    Some of us who were told we would go to ASBC after UPT (which obviously didn't happen since the program is no-more) are being told that it looks bad on us since a lot of our peers have the ASBC box checked

    Hahahahahaha! YGBFSM.

    I had a chick in my ASBC flight fail every test we had because she said she had "test anxiety". I told her I was anxious about vomiting on my desk during that test after a case race in the dorms the night before. She then arranged for me to get talked to by my Flt/CC about sensitivity toward "fellow wingmen".
