Trump, who attacked a gold star family is now the defender of the flag that draped their son's casket? And demeaned one of the most public & respected POW's - Sen McCain.

Trump has hi-jacked civility, morality, humanity, and civil rights by baiting us all. The flag is the very symbol of the freedom that the US represents. He has hi-jacked our sacred symbol.

I come from three generations of Naval officers. Family who fought in WWI, WWII, Korean War and Vietnam. Old guard Republicans. They would be horrified by this bone spur president whose five deferments led him to fight his "own personal Vietnam" avoiding STDs while grabbing women's genitals.

Trump wants to have his nose in everything he loves chaos and likes to stir things up. He knows exactly how to play people too and they fall for it every time. Not to mention as you said he keep people talking about things other then starting WW3.

Who cares what this guy says???..., he didn't nor does he have the balls to say it to the coaches face. Typical.

I like Mike Tomlin. And I am not even a Steelers' fan.

Before you get your manties in a bundle, this is what Tomlin said:

On Monday, Villanueva apologized for unintentionally throwing his team under the bus. Tomlin said Villanueva did not need to issue such an apology.

“I don’t know why Villanueva was apologizing. He had nothing to apologize for. I guess he feels like he brought this upon us somehow and that’s a shame,” Tomlin said.


He didn't *make* his player do anything.

Sort of like Anthony Weiner?



May be a bad comparison but do people even think anymore before they post things online and not envision the repercussions that will follow?

Mike Golic explained this. To win you must be a team and all be on the same page. He said he would have done whatever the team had decided to do in the locker room whether he agreed or not. He explained how there may have been a heated disagreement over what to do but once agreed upon you held together as a team.

Personally I would not have said anything in the media about what happened. The bigger question now is, I wonder who will be the new Fire Chief?

Well, at least Weiner had the excuse of thinking with his little head. (no, that's not really an excuse and this progressive is very happy to see Weiner heading off to prison for his criminal activity!)

This guy? What part of his anatomy was he thinking with?

Fine, Trump is the baby. So I guess the NFL and NFL players need to put their big boy/girl pants and stop it.
