I just got the vibe you were touting your Militry service like it hels weight on this board. That could have been my mistake. Glad you're working towards a degree. Best of luck to you. Non sibi sed Patriae. [/quote] I appreciate yours as well. I've always been against the bragging about serving but I do understand where you came from with it. The tone of my post likely didn't help. It wasn't my intent but I'm glad you spoke up about it. That's not something I ever want to do. No harm no foul man I appreciate the reply. I appreciate that very much and my best to you too. That phrase couldn't be any more true. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

This card is stacked from top to bottom. It's going to be great. I agree if it goes to the ground it's over. Regardless I think Hendricks gets his belt that he already should have won. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="ellen.walden" post="47823" timestamp="1394898894"]My apologies dalton26, there was no intent to undermine what you told me, I just wanted to understand the system better. Plus I do not put much credit on what Wikepedia says anyway. Plus someone said as long as they turn 19 during the year that they can apply for the dradt. It was just a failed attempt on keeping optimism that Vonleh will stay for another year. [/quote] No need to apologize. I'm an ass at times so no worries.

@RapSheet: The #Colts are closing in on a deal for WR Hakeem Nicks, per source. @RapSheet: The #Colts goal was to keep Hakeem Nicks in the building. Nothing is final, but things are heating up. Lot of optimism to sign him. @RapSheet: Text from a rival GM yesterday: “Ryan Grigson is bringing Nicks in? No way he leaves.” Colts GM considered a closer for free agents.

[quote name="Me So Hornsby" post="47575" timestamp="1394826929"]Really? There have been a few times over my life where I have really just been disappointed with this fan base. Well here's another one. All this talk about getting rid of CTC is really starting to piss me off. Did we really forget how far this program has come? Or the fact that we lost two top 5 picks and 3 other professional players last year? Yea this team has underperformed this year and yes I'm just as frustrated as everyone else believe me. But there has not been one time that I have thought that Coach Crean was not the right person to have this job. I mean really people, get off the ledge!

[quote name="CampCrean" post="47569" timestamp="1394826618"]Also, having served in the Navy before attending IU, one of the least classy things to do for someone who is in the Military is to brag about it. We had kids who would brag all day to Police, bar owners, and anyone in authority about being in the military. Basically to say they were better and that no one had authority over them. That drives me nuts. Those guys never were in harms way except for a few bad storms we got in in the Indian Ocean. People give the respect you earn, not the respect you think you deserve. Plus, it really gives a bad name to guys who did time on the ground in Afghanistan or Iraq and don't go around tooting their own horn. You're puffing your chest on a message board. I would hope your CO taught you better. [/quote] Not in any way was it intended to be bragging. And no where did I say I was better than him. That's not me or who I am. It was intended to show someone who brags about giving money why he's allowed to do those things. The you're welcome comment was a childish response to his you're welcome. Should I have added it? probably not but hindsight is always 20/20. If you read my post you'd probably see it was intended as a smarta$$ response to someone acting like they were authority because they pony up money to a site. I'm in no way "puffing my chest out" if that's the case isn't that the exact thing you just did by stating you were in the military and how you view things? Ask anyone that knows me and you'd find that I don't live off things I've done in the past. I'm no better than the guy working the cash register at McDonald's so I will definitely not allow an individual to act better than me because of his money. You're equal in my eyes until you do something that changes that. If that's the way you seen it then that sucks but I won't apologize for what I posted.

[quote name="Stuhoo" post="47541" timestamp="1394824059"]The latter, but if you get caught you are unemployed, and unemployable as a legit journalist.[/quote] Thanks. I have no idea how it works as a real journalist so it was general curiosity. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="Banksyrules" post="47535" timestamp="1394823383"]Supposedly the difference between sources from regular people and news organizations is that reporters usually have to report their sources to their editors to see if their stories hold water. I'm not sure about sports editors though. Edit: However, being a New Yorker the Daily News is tough to gage. They had reputable journalists like Mike Lupica, but they also had their share of tabloid hunters as well.[/quote] How does that work? Does the editor check with the source or could the writer just lie about who their source is? Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app

[quote name="Naturalhoosier" post="47522" timestamp="1394822698"]Worst thing about journalism IMO is how everyone has 'sources' but don't name them. Makes an easy Op-Ed entry appear factual. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners[/quote] Agreed. I could say my sources tell me the sky is falling and people would believe it just because I had sources.

[quote name="coachmayhew" post="47510" timestamp="1394821254"]It's great you have an opinion, but rules are rules & without members like me you would be keeping those opinions to yourself instead of expressing them freely on this site. You are welcome. Sent from my iphone 9 using BtownBanners[/quote] Ahh the typical I spend money so I'm gonna act arrogant and act better than everyone crap. My post has nothing to do with the rules. It has something to do with you coming off like you're better than everyone else. Sorry but moving, college courses and getting in to the fire academy are much higher on my list of things to spend money on. You know why you can spend your money? Guys at any point in time that have served so you can even earn your money in the first place. You are welcome. See I can be arrogant too. Sent from my iPhone using BtownBanners mobile app
