Good Morning America's Team

[Tawney88]

hardy was arrested before a cowboy so you cant add him

I guess you missed the point. If you add Hardy then Dallas still isn't as bad as the teams put on a pedestal by the media.

Glad to see that all those people on GMA are perfect individuals and have the authority to judge people without being biased.

And were these the same media professionals that reported the black kid in the Officer Wilson police shooting put his hands up to surrender..?

and supposedly that he never attacked the officer to begin with and was shot because he was black..?

Grand Jury testimony now says that bit of media reporting was a complete lie.

He never put his hands in the air and was shot because he rushed the police car after being told to surrender.

Please..don't tell me about bias.

The American people are idiots if you ask me. And people in the media will do anything to sell their newspapers and get you to watch TV so they can sell commercial air time.

Oh my.

Why does anyone expect the liberal media to report in a fair and unbiased manner about anything? I quit watching it years ago. It's commonplace for agenda laden propaganda to be passed on as everyday facts. Dale Hansen is a news hack who dares to criticize Jim Garrett's parenting while being an absent parent himself.

There is a problem with the media and the problem is not isolated to certain news outlets or networks or particular sociological delivery of information to the masses. IMO, news reporting should be utterly devoid of opinion. News delivery should be stale for the viewer, listener, or reader. It should inform only. Its aim should not be to entertain.

Personalities and economic competition have reduced accuracy and impartiality as requirements for disseminating daily events to the public so that it can interpret the greater world for itself. Today's media tries to think for the public. It succeeds whenever the public believes entire segments of the media are "good" or "bad." The problem is universal.

Sorry for the rant. I always wonder why anyone would point their finger at the media in only one direction instead of a whole LOT of directions.

It still amazes me how many daughters and wives wear #7 for the "Stillers".

Baffles me.

Yes. Where was all this outrage when Ben Rapeliesberger was out there RAPING TWO WOMEN?????

Also can somebody post Dez's criminal record please?.........

Waiting.....

Waiting......

I disagree on Brent. IMHO, he is a bad character guy. He had already been busted for a DUI in his past, and that should have been enough for him to never do it again. So, not only does he do it again, but he ends up killing his best friend in the process. I know that it wasn't his intention, but no one who drives while intoxicated intends to hit other people or their property. But, it's the outcome, and it's entirely preventable.

Please quit being so dramatic. Brent did not kill his teammate. He and a teammate went out for drinks like most early 20's men are to do and made a bad decision to drink and drive and got in an accident. You make it seem like Brent wanted to kill his teammate when in fact I'd bet you he'd give anything to have his best friend back.

Have you ever in your life had a few drinks and drove a vehicle?

I'd say 95% of adults have at least at one point in their lives. What makes Brent a thug POS because he was unfortunate enough to get in an accident while most others were/are fortunate to not get in an accident?

U need people like me so u can feel better about yourself. Say goodnight to the bad guy....

No one is being dramatic here. Brent showed very poor character by getting behind the wheel drunk after he had already been busted before for doing the same thing. And, yes, he did end up killing his teammate - that is indisputable. It doesn't matter whether he intended to kill Brown or not, it was the result. I think it's safe to say that he fully intended on driving after drinking because he made no other arrangements, and went out with someone who was also drinking.

And, since you asked, no, I never have driven drunk in my life. Considering that I have had two different friends die while driving under the influence, it served as an appropriate deterrent. There is no more reckless act than driving drunk, especially after you have already have been arrested for it, and have the safe rides program through the NFLPA to provide you with a ride if you are unable to drive. Just stupid and completely preventable.

I said he had bad character - I never called him a thug POS. That was from you, a person accusing me of being dramatic. How ironic.

Brent did not kill his teammate. No matter how many times you say it. Or however you want people to take it. He and his teammate made a terrible choice. One they both made. And unfortunately resulted in the death of one of them. It could have just as easily been Brent who died. Would you then say he committed suicide? Since he, in your terms, killed himself? No you wouldn't.

Despite all that, the man lost his best friend. Should he be damned to hell for eternity because he made a poor choice and caused an accident? Should he never be given a chance for redemption? Where would we be as a society if people were only given one chance at anything in life?

And congrats on not drinking and driving. You are the first person I've ever heard that has never not once had a drink and drove a vehicle. Then again you could only be 16 for all I know

I see your point as well as Plankton's. Brent did not intend to kill his friend, they made a mistake.

Here is where I see a problem.......Brent did in fact receive a second chance and that time it was deadly. In short, Brent got his second chance and blew that one too.

I agree. And I think most people recognize this. Most people arent idiots.

But when you hear "something" over and over and over again, not only from the brainwashing machine, TV/Media, but from others who were watching and now regurgitating that "Something", its hard to block that all out......

When 1000k people swear up and down that the sky is purple, and everything around you and everybody around is saying the same thing.....You start questioning yourself...

"Well, shoot, maybe the sky is purple"?......

Dangerous times we live in.

Be very grateful that you really don't know what you are talking about here. Just be grateful.

OK, enlighten me. What don't I know about here? And, why should I be grateful? Your post takes the cake for arrogance.

 

[perrykemp]

Have you ever in your life had a few [17 beers] drinks and drove a vehicle [~110 mph]?

I'd say 95% of adults have at least at one point in their lives.

I have added some detail to your statement above in red.

I love how you act like this was just some guy out with his buddies that had a few two many....

Brent didn't <just> have a couple of beers -- his blood alcohol was twice the legal limit. He was driving like a complete maniac.

After the incident while awaiting a trial that would decide whether he might spend a good portion of his life behind bars he couldn't help himself and broke the conditions of his house arrest once, possibly twice.

I am not arguing Josh Brent is evil. I have no idea. I am not arguing that Josh Brent doesn't deserve forgiveness -- we all do. What I am arguing is Josh Brent is a complete idiot and can't be trusted to do the right thing.

Stop obfuscating the issue with Brent. He killed Jerry Brown. He drove the car, he was under the influence, his driving the car and getting into the accident killed Brown. There's no ambiguity there. Yes, they both made poor choices in this, and, clearly they knew that one of them were going to drive after drinking that night, as they didn't make other arrangements. Considering that he got a second chance after his first incident of being arrested for DUI, it's even more egregious that he did it again. It wouldn't surprise me if he continued to do it more than once after his initial arrest. At the end of the day, he's lucky that he didn't have any other accidents in his life due to driving drunk. Brent is alive, so bringing up "suicide" if he died is a silly argument and completely irrelevant to what is being discussed.

Now, again, you keep moving the goal posts in the argument. In my quote above, nowhere did I say that he should be damned to eternity for killing Brown. If I ran the Cowboys, he wouldn't play for me again. That being said, I don't begrudge anyone from giving him a chance to redeem himself. I hope that he learns from it this time after getting a second chance and not changing his behavior.

And, I'm a bit older than 16. I haven't had a drink in nearly 25 years, after going through a recovery program. Even despite being an alcoholic, I never drove drunk. I never had been behind the wheel even after taking a single drink. It's called understanding the risks associated with that decision, and having lost two friends before their 20th birthday to DWI accidents, I resolved to never do it myself.

I have no idea how you can see arrogance in my post, .. but if that is the way you feel, I apologize.
I did not mean to come off in that way.
