Not to be indelicate... and the better part of valor is discretion... with that, lemme just add that some married men get all they can handle and then some... even still after 30 years.

Just sayin...

And for others marriage is a lot like soccer. A whole lot of work with not much scoring. :cautious:

I'm not married and I didn't stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night. But I'm guessing you married a horndog LOL.

I've been dating one for over 4 years now, 4 1/2 actually. She's been married twice. Her first husband ended up realizing he was gay a couple of years into the marriage. Her second husband (she walked out on him) spent the last several years of the marriage in another bedroom and was constantly angry with her and emotionally abusive. Upon learning all of the marriages issues I understood the first one and clued her in on the second one.

He was a raging asshole that probably drank too much and had erectile dysfunction issues. I'm glad he was too proud to see a doc to get that fixed because now I am back-filling for years of neglect.

I remember telling a couple of close friends after I found out details that if I was married to her even if I hated her I'd have sex with her. That's when it dawned on me that he had functional issues and took it out on her in the form of yelling and screaming. He never hit her though so there's that.

FFS if I had issues with that I'd go get a pill for it right away. Why wouldn't someone do that? There is a pill for "restless leg syndrome" and IMO that's not nearly as important to fix LOL.

Today Kraft apologized with the standard "sorry to thewhole world and I will do my best to be better" apology. Obviously scripted to avoid saying he was guilty but I bet the police still drop the charges.

I wonder if they backed off of the original demand to admit he would have been found guilty in a courtroom.

He's sorry but says he's innocent. Well that makes absolutely no sense.

I won't list all the reasons I have for disliking Kraft, but so long as he isn't involved in human trafficking or engaging with minors, I could care less about a prostitution charge between consenting adults. Prostitution should be decriminalized, then legalized and regulated much in the same manner as marijuana has been in recent years. Instead of paying police to hunt down prostitutes and johns involved in the 'world's oldest profession', regulate the business, create new tax revenue and keep the girls cleaner, safer & free of truly illicit drugs, something all of society can benefit from. If i'm ever on a jury over prostitution, everyone goes home. I prefer my tax dollars are spent on police pursuing violent and white collar crimes, not over bedroom issues adults consent to. jmo.

He might have tried Viagra or similar. Success rate is around 70%.

I agree it isn't cohesive to have those two things in a statement.

We would know if he was involved, he wouldn't have been released if that were the case. We've heard little to nothing about the trafficking
from the police and I have been waiting to hear the news that they busted a bunch of these cretins.

I'm with you one legalizing it, it's harmless and will help eliminate the destructive nature of street prostitutes and pimps.

Are the women consenting?

I understand how consent might seem murky when illegal brothels pop up, all the more reason for legalization & regulation. Much like legalization of marijuana removes the revenue stream going straight to violent drug cartels, the legalization of prostitution would eliminate the illegal brothels who may traffic in human cargo. Kidnapping may simply be a euphemism for human trafficking, although trafficking seems to also imply the illegal sex trade involving kidnapped minors and/or kidnapped young adults.

I recall a time when a handful of politicians & prosecutors thought that adding an additional charge of aiding & abetting drug cartels to a simple drug possession charge would enhance their 'tough on crime' persona with longer jail terms. Charging a 'john' for aiding in sex trafficking is also pretty murky when he enters what appears to be a legal storefront offering a 'massage'. If the girl doesn't tell a client she is being held against her will, it's going to be pretty tough to prosecute imo. The owners of these illegal brothels are just going to say that they charge only for the massage and that if the girls engage in prostitution, they have nothing to do with it. It's not like they put this income in their bookkeeping records and inform their accountants of illegal revenue come tax day. Audio & Video devices, wire-tapping & phone tapping by the FBI and police should offer a clearer answer if they are ever released to the public, but for now it mostly comes down to a 'he said, she said' media sensation.

Personally, i'm for decriminalizing/regulating all drugs, even the worst of them. Users wouldn't be arrested unless driving under the influence, public intoxication, or using in the presence of a minor. Put the cartels out of business and allow for Darwinism to work out the kinks.

Patriots DC Greg Schiano Steps Down

March 28th, 2019 at 3:44pm CST by Zach Links

This offseason, the Patriots thought they had their new defensive coordinator in Greg Schiano. Now, the search continues. On Thursday, Schiano and head coach Bill Belichick released a joint statement to announce that Schiano is stepping down from the role.

I have informed Mr. Kraft and Coach Belichick that I am stepping down from my position at the Patriots,” Schiano said in the statement. “This is not the result of any one event, but rather a realization that I need to spend more time on my faith and family. I don’t want to look back years from now and wish I had done things differently. Therefore, I am taking time away from the game to recalibrate my priorities.”

Meanwhile, longtime friend Belichick offered words of support.

I respect Coach Schiano greatly and appreciate his contributions to our staff and team,” Belichick said. “He is a friend who we support completely.”

Ironically, Schiano was never formally announced as the Patriots’ new DC. However, it was widely reported that he had accepted the job.

The Patriots have been close to hiring Schiano for key assistant roles in the past, only to see the deal fall apart at the last minute. Once again, this appears to be the case for the former Rutgers and Buccaneers head coach.

The Pats’ last DC, Brian Flores, left the club after the Super Bowl to take over as the Dolphins’ new head coach.

Bill Belichick Could Become Patriots DC

March 28th, 2019 at 9:30pm CST by Micah Power


Thursday began with the news that Patriots defensive coordinator Greg Schiano would be stepping down from the post. Later in the day, news trickled out that head coach Bill Belichick could assume a larger role with the defense or even take over the role of defensive coordinator, ESPN’s Mike Reiss writes.

Following their victory in Super Bowl LIII, the Patriots saw a mass exodus from their defensive coaching staff, which included former defensive coordinator Brian Flores take the head-coaching gig in Miami and a number of assistants leaving. Schiano, highly trusted by Belichick, was expected to help the transition, but his abrupt departure puts the Pats in a tough situation.

Reiss notes Belichick assuming defensive coordinator duties is the most likely of scenarios but is not the only one. Another possibility is a “Hail Mary” call to former defensive line coach Brendan Daly, who left to become the Chiefs run-game coordinator. Considering his family’s roots in K.C. area, however, it could be a tough sell.

Another potential candidate would be Bret Bielema, the Boston Globe’s Ben Volin tweets. Volin mentions that Bielema, the former University of Wisconsin and Arkansas head coach and current defensive consultant with the Pats, thought he was getting the job earlier this year.

Belichick, of course, is no slouch as a defensive coordinator. With the Giants, he won a pair of Super Bowls under head coach Bill Parcells while running the defense. As the head coach of the Patriots, Belichick has always played a large role on the defensive side of the ball, except in 2009 when he contributed largely to the offense following Josh McDaniels‘ departure to Denver.

I bet the DA is was dreading seeing somebody like Kraft show up. He and his army of lawyers are gonna do whatever they can to get this off his record. Sure he’s on tape but it’s far from a slam dunk and I’m sure the league will punish him as well.

This has taken too long already, something's going on behind the scenes for sure but we can only imagine what that may be or what deal ends up getting cut.

They are desperate to keep that video out of circulation that's for sure.

I can't believe TMZ hasn't gotten their hands on a copy.

You know they WORKIN' on this...

As we know with the NFL, if there's tape, the punishment goes up at least double if not much more.
