Bless your heart.

You: Your comment came off as snarky and sarcastic.

While I don't like to hear stories like this, Kolb understood the risks.

i just lack sympathy or any type of concern

It is weird that a 94 year old woman who has just sustained a blow to the head and massive blood loss didn't make a perfectly rational decision. What a maroon!

Not everyone wants to be reminded that game they love watching on Sunday has a very real cost to the people playing. It doesn't make you a jerk, it just means you'd rather not acknowledge the cost of your own entertainment. Ok, maybe that does make you a jerk...

It's not about placing strategic forces on the island, it's about having the territorial right to drill for oil. Or more specifically, about having the territorial right to prevent others from drilling for oil.

Actually, it's more along the lines of "what if we hadn't done the worst possible thing?"

We've spent exponentially more energy dropping bombs, overthrowing regimes, and funneling arms into the region than we have on diplomacy.

Not at all. Teams shift players in and out of their practice squad all the time based on injuries to other players, or any number of things that don't have anything to do with the player being cut's current performance.

Practice squad players are basically fourth and fifth string players that the team wants to protect but doesn't have room for on their roster.

It's possible that a team in need of a practice squad linebacker is declining to sign him because of bias, but Occam's razor might also apply at this point.

I don't think that's the takeaway at all. His time in St. Louis and on the Cowboys practice squad was pretty unremarkable. That's a milestone in and of itself.

He might not be a very good NFL player. By all accounts he got a fair shot in St. Louis and got beaten out for a roster spot by someone playing better, and the Cowboys didn't have a need for him. I was rooting for him to succeed wildly, but it might not be in the cards.

Who is in trouble?

Do you think it's possible to be a violent / bad person without being mentally ill?

No, I don't think that's necessarily true at all. One can do terrible things without being mentally ill.

The correct answer is Steamboat vs. Savage at WMIII.

Not everything is a mental illness or the result of CTE. Sometimes people are violent, self-pitying assholes.
