It’s human nature to empathize with a situation better when you have some kind of connection. For instance, while I’ve always acknowledged that school shootings are horrible, they’ve taken on a new level of horrific now that I have two young children.

Derek Carr: "I would be more upset if I weren't so heavily sedated."

Bleier and Flores have had their heated matchups before, though not since October 20, 1980. Coach Flores came out on top that time.

Hey, don’t push him, ‘cause he’s close to the edge!

Well I hope he got the message.

Rumor is that five people caught him, and they were furious. 

Who are they to call anyone disrespectful...
