Poster Boy

You and I live in a community where that type of parental respect still prevails. Sadly it's becoming more rare by the day.

He's implying that he doesn't understand the BGP rule against attacking other posters.

Wow! Being confused as you were made you very angry. There's a difference in not getting answers and just not liking the answers you get. And yes, that gap is huge....enormous actually.

So, the fact that no one was able to remember enough names for you to feel satisfied, somehow makes them evasive? Your question was answered as well as could be reasonably expected. You are right on one thing...the gap is not "large." It's huge!

Colts 31 Saints 17 / Saints 31 Colts 29 / Colts 52 Saints 35

Think that will work to fire up your Maroons? :sssh: :lol:

Their coach did.

Don't you mean "smash" their mouths?

They would (absolutely, 100%) NOT put out an order to the team to "take out" an opposing high school football player. That is inexcusable!

No way! Why would you want to play the #1 team in the 2nd round when you could otherwise play them in the 3rd round?

Same here. Although I didn't watch Bozo. I don't think it was on in our area in those days.

I think most people strongly doubt that anything was. But you touched on something that is very true; the ties in this community to the McCafferty family are wide and deep. Bob was a gregarious man and highly involved in the community. And of course, the kids both go to school here.

Investigators found a jacket that had evidence that showed that it had been wrapped around the murder weapon -- ostensibly to muffle the sound. In the pile of clothes (where another bullet had been found) they found a shirt that had also been wrapped around a fired weapon. The defense did not call the children, Cheryl's mother, family members, coworkers, abuse experts or therapists to testify about abuse.

You're right. Perhaps there's a reason for that. And perhaps that's why we didn't hear any questioning of the kids on that point.

From what's being reported in the media, the defense has really offered no other evidence than Cheryl's own words and hearsay. They did have the ER nurse that said she saw some evidence of minor facial injuries, but nothing concrete. As far as I know, the kids said nothing about abuse. I think we're all just like shaking our heads at the lack of evidence presented. I personally think she's guilty, but still surprised the defense hasn't offered up a stronger argument.

I agree and hope you're right. It's just a small part of the mounting body of evidence for the prosecution.

Something unusual must have happened. The jury and spectators were ushered out. When they were brought back in, there was a fifteen minute bench conference and then the defense just rested. Seems really odd. The prosecution came back with one rebuttal to defense teatimony and then the trial wrapped up. Closing arguments will be Monday and then the jury will get the case.

I agree completely. There should just be two teams advancing in each district. This is especially true now that we've spread the wealth out across (a ridiculous) six classes. This season, you have teams like winless Glasgow, Clinton County (having won no district games) at 1-9, McCreary Central (needing only to edge a winless team to advance) at 4-6. In this year's playoffs, there are 69 teams with a losing record; and over a dozen of those have won less than two games. Making it so easy to get into the playoffs just diminishes the sense of accomplishment, and gives some teams nothing to strive for.

Final

The concept of "special needs" children is far broader than just slow learners or those with behavioral problems. It takes in the whole gambit of disabilities.

Welcome home! Hope you feel better soon.

Maybe you just "attract" this type of person...for some reason.

I'm lucky #77! :thumb:

With 36.8 seconds left in that game, Mason County's Ethan King was going in for a layup when Shelby County's Donovan Johnson was called for an intentional foul. Setty was not in the game but came several feet onto the floor. The referees conferred at the time and gave Setty a technical foul but did not disqualify him from the game. Moore said he was then informed that Kentucky High School Athletic Association officials had ruled Setty would have to sit out. But a half hour later -- 20 minutes before the game -- Setty was cleared to play. He joined his teammates a few minutes late for warmups. "There were a lot of kids upset and a lot of people in administration upset," Moore said. "So we met with (the KHSAA), and I think they made the best decision for the kids and I appreciate them for having the power, which they do, but also having the courage to do what is right for kids." KHSAA sports information director Butch Cope said Setty was not disqualified because officials ruled that there was no indication a fight would break out. National Federation of High Schools rules disqualify a player if he "leaves the confines of the bench during a fight or when a fight may break out."

There was definitely a technical issued, because they shot the penalty shots.
