then teams would smear poopies on the balls so that the other team would have to touch their poops.

...or as Microsoft Word '95 called it "The superb owl"

Actually, I'm a huge pats fan from way back in the Grogan days. I feel betrayed and can't even think about how my idealistic 10-year old son must feel about it. I would actually feel pretty good (assuming there was malfeasance) if they fessed up and forced the Patriots to forfeit their superbowl appearance. Or…

I'm also an overzealous Pats fan as well. This is so annoying. If they did it, then WTF Bill? Knock it off!!!!!! If they didn't, then, figure it the eff out and let's talk about the big game.

Plus, video taping opposing signals was and *still is* legal. Just not from the position on the field from where the Patriots camera's were. No video taping from that position was legal.

I respect the care with which you manifest your gun ownership, but I will disagree with the home invasion rationale.

Average Joes and Janes the world over feel essentially powerless. What is a firearm besides the ultimate power? You're a superhero, able to slay foes with a twitch of a finger.

Most gun owners are responsible. I have a friend at work who has an insane collection, which he keeps in a fort-knox-deal in his basement, only to take out when he wants to target shoot. He's also not paranoid about home invasions, so doesn't keep anything by his nightstand.

I'll always remember the Greeting:

I thought this too, but apparently each team has their own ball supply for offense.

Murder by civilians is prohibited in all cases except for self-defense. "Revenge" is not a viable defense for murder. There are plenty of people in prison who have killed for revenge.

Actually there is, except we reserve it for pets. When my beloved dog Gus was euthanized a couple of years ago, they gave him a massive overdose of morphine. The effects of which (according to the vet who delivered it) are:

You are a silly billy.

I guess the reason you instinctively hate Greek culture has nothing to do with the fact that they encourage rape culture.

The idea is that you can't slip anything into a sealed can.

Sounds like you're into punishing specific individuals not for their own bad behavior, but for the behavior of those in the same category. Sounds a bit like the opposite of what social justice is about.

Overreacting to bad publicity is is predictable.

No doubt - I was in Tokyo last October, and you think US people have their asses in their phones - those mf-ers are IN THEY PHONES!

"forcing"? Introducing new stuff doesn't automatically remove the old stuff.

I just hope the best VR experiences don't continue to come from horror games. Playing a scary game on a monitor or TV is frightening, but in a fun way. From what I see in various videos. actually sort-of being in a horror game seems abjectly terrifying. This is an emotional state not desired by too many people.
