Kendra and Ricky were reportedly only given a two game suspension by the NFL.

I don't think it was idiocy, per se. I think those two fuckwads thought Higgs would be interested in being a part of their little hell on Earth. I suspect the plan was to whore Lockwood out, as they were having financial troubles.

Yet no helmets. Maybe they're subtly encouraging vigilantes to aim for the head for better chances of a kill shot.

Assuming we're talking about the same thread of stupid posts up above:

After the public spanking they've gotten over the last little while due to their own failures to act like civilized human beings towards women, the babymen have decided that they can best get out of the hole they dug for themselves by digging…

To quoth the rapper Open Mike Eagle:

Wow, this first letter is a heartbreaking, and I totally 100% agree with her advice.

I am in love with her eyebrows.
