3 pointsMilitary dad here, too. Navy Corpsman assigned to the 2nd Batallion, 4th Marines in Vietnam. Still alive, 78 years old. His parents were both decorated military from WWII (yes, that includes my grandmother). They lived in a small town of 1200 people in southeastern MN. He enlisted in the Navy right after HS and was eventually sent to De Nang. He never talks about his time there. Met my mother a few months before being sent off to Basic. They have been married since '71. Came back, worked misc jobs while going to school on his GI Bill. Then they pulled it, so he ended up changing oil and tires for little pay. Was laid off on Christmas Eve 1970. Found a job with Trane Co after harassing the recruiter (former military man himself) for 6 months, and ended up working there for 43 years. But I never knew what he actually did. He was always was at every sporting event for my sisters and I. He would never miss an important moment in our lives. He is a staunch Republican, but in the most conservative (non-religious)/libetarian way possible. He is the son of an immigrant (his mom) and 2nd generation immigrant (his dad), so he has a little bit of a bleeding heart for the downtrodden/less well off. He has no issues with gay people. "Stay out of his life, and he will stay out of yours". But don't you dare take more of his money for any of that stuff! He eats the same things week after week. Always meat and potatoes of some sort. He never drinks, except an old fashioned every now and again. He golfs every morning. He owns a $50k bass boat and fishes the Mississippi every afternoon. He falls asleep at 8pm watching fox news or the history channel every night. God, I love that man!

2 pointswhich, of course, is funny since squidtard is in the other thread claiming a crime doesn't exist unless it's caught on video. And here his now claiming that video evidence is a lie. Dude is a zealot of the highest order in the Liberal cult.

2 pointsWe literally see him murdered on video by Chauvin over a period of 9 minutes. That makes him a sympathetic victim irrespective of his past criminal record (which is irrelevant to his murder). The idea that this the person who was essentially executed in public, should not be allowed a moment of silence at a sports event is appalling to me.

1 pointMy dad was a military guy who later worked a ton to give us a great life. We had everything growing up , nice house and a house down Cape Cod, private schooling etc. He wasn’t a drinker or someone to fly off the handle, only gripe was he made me quit music and a band I was in during high school because he spent a lot of money on my hockey. Never really appreciated him while he was alive

1 pointMy dad was a great. He did shift work which sometimes included weekends, but still found the time to take me to a couple Twins games, to Brainerd for the drag races one year, bought me a Kawasaki 100 dirt bike, & when I was in little league, bought me a pitch back rebound net. He would also draw the line when we were acting up. Whenever he said "just keep on" you knew it was time to behave. He passed on 10-10-10 & I still miss him.

1 pointI think he's somebody that would need to be in the exact right offense to succeed. He's not in that. Doesn't look too promising. In my dynasty league where we get big bonus pts for TDs over 40 and 50 yds, he's worth keeping around for his deep ball alone

1 pointWhen people on the left don’t understand why or how people could vote for Donald Trump they fail to realize these kooky things are what drives those in the middle more toward his camp. Most people realize George Floyd was a criminal. Even if you believe Chauvin was guilty of murder, there are much more sympathetic victims you could find to latch on to. There’s a significant portion of the population who believes both that he was murdered and he was pretty much a scumbag. There are all shades in between. But the left seems to like to pick the most flawed characters to latch on to.

1 pointMy Cool Pops was incredible and taught me very much about everything life. He taught me to be me. I love him so very much and miss him so very much. He adopted me, along with my mother, and of course there were dark days, but most were very fun and always interesting. He was my best friend, best man at my wedding, worked side by side with him for over thirty years, gave him the grandchild , a daughter he dreamed about, and sadly had to make the decision to end his life after his gall bladder went septic as he requested a year prior. The man that wanted me when others couldn’t, he did and I love him so VERY deeply. He comes to see me in the form of a blue jay with a broken wing. Sounds crazy, but he does. Miss you much Cool Pops. I love you

1 point40K yards and 250 TDs is nothing to sneeze at. Per game his numbers are slightly better than Eli Manning's (with noticeably less INTs). Top 25 all time in completions, yards, and TDs, while not being in the top 100 in INTs. Not saying he should even sniff the HOF, but there's definitely been more meh QBs.
