Posted on December 28, 2010 at 12:47amStop complaining about it being on here. Not every single piece on the news has to be 100 people died here, a man was raped here blah blah blah. You are allowed to post something funny or random every once in a while. Dang you guys are some immature idiots.

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 1:32pmIs this really front page news? I mean for a reputable news-source.
No, I don’t think it is.
This is Oprah Winfrey-Jerry Springer stuff.
What a disappointment.

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 1:05pmWell when u put your tail right up next to the fire, what usually happens is that it catches fire. Cute show Mr. Reed, but that one was poorly planned…

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 11:27amWhat’s up wit dat? Must have been a heater that caught fire. Glad the guy wasn’t burned. Back in the day, players sat there and just froze or covered up with a blanket, non-electric of course. I totally respect the talent and strength it takes to play the game. But, as with everything else these days, Football has been FEMINIZED…….. Everybody is treated like a PRIMA DONNA!

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 6:29pmIf congress gets into the act, they will ban all clothing on the sidelines. Congress is the only entity on the planet, that is unaware for every action, there is a reaction. STUUUUUUUUUUUPID !

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 9:37amIn today’s politically correct society, it‘s a good thing Ed Reed wasn’t white because the marshmallow quip would be considered a racist remark. Or maybe it was racism towards blacks because marshmallows turn black when they burn.

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 9:29amAnother union goon. See how he just throws it off. “Someone else can take care of this, it’s not in my contract” He was just too cool to worry about someone else getting burned. What a arrogant ass. Union sports, what a waste.

Posted on December 27, 2010 at 10:04amTypical NFL athlete. Creates a situations and then drops it and walks off, expecting someone else to clean up the turd he just dropped. Wouldn’t most normal people try to put the fire out themselves?

Does that explain all the enviormental pollution produced by the House and Senate; not to mention the White House itself? Too much beans and not enough open flames…hmm.
