How did you let this happen?

Malcom:

You are absoultely right. Drawing a gun and leveling it on someone isn't nearly as bad as drawing a gun, leveling it on someone and then pulling the trigger! :)

No, I did not hear about this fiasco in Italy. Newspapers there in English do not have much US sports coverage - mostly British cricket/soccer/horseracing - and CNN World News' sports coverage is sparse indeed. I picked up on this when I got home on Sunday night.

As an observation, the NFL is not very big in Italy/Sicily. I saw a lot more people wearing NBA and MLB gear than NFL stuff. I found only one store that offered NFL merchandise for sale and the only Redskins' thing in the store wasn't for sale; it was a #44 jersey with Riggins on it hanging on the wall as a display.

THE BIGGEST US "sport" in terms of merchandising in Italy is the World Wrestling Entertainment company. Those shirts/hats/whatevers outmunber all the other US sports merchandise put together by about three-to-one. I have not really followed pro 'rasslin since Bruno Sammartinw was the champ in the 60s and 70s (yes I know about Hulk Hogan but I never followed any of the matches/story lines when he was champion), but now there seems to be some guy named John Cena and he is clearly the most popular rassler among Italians. The other two big stars seemed to be The Undertaker and Sone Cold Steve Austin. I actually remembet The Undertaker, but I would not know Steve Austin or John Cena from Abbot and Costello.



I'm going to be backpacking through Europe form August 4th through 28th. The funny thing in all of what you're saying is that I actually bought a Portis Jersey mainly to wear it over in Europe, well that and my Gardner Jersey does look out of style :p Most of my time will be spent in Italy and those iaaatalians will get a good dosage of Redskins gear for their viewing pleasure.

Just because someone pulls a gun on someone doesn't mean they are a bad person. ;)

Have you had a gun pulled on you by someone you don't know?

Just because I steal ATVs doesn't make me a bad person. ;)

"Allegedly" steal ATVs. ;)

Nothing alleged about this. As soon as Taylor left, I took them.

I have them at home. Come get me #36. :)

I was the second gunman on the grassy knoll.

The people Sean and his buddy chased were just a decoy.

i am now officially on taylors side until i find out what happens at the arrraignment. Taylor didn't do it, his statement is completely accurate that he had no gun. he punched the man in self defense and the people did steal the ATVs. he brought friends with him because in a neighborhood like that he needed friends.

By the way i know this has been said but those people better have stolen them ATVs. Just think what they were thinking if they didn't, sean taylor pulling up and being like give me my ATVs. Think if that happened to you. Big ST pulls up and you go over to his denali and he be bobbing his head with his eyes closed and just saying give me my ATVs. and then pulls a nine on your ass and his friend pulls out an AK47.

he brought friends with him because in a neighborhood like that he needed friends.

In a neighborhood like that, he needed the police if he wanted the ATVs back.

And that's just like you Malcom.......:nono:if you could have just kept your greedy little hands off ST's stuff we wouldn't have to worry about any of this.

I'm already tearin' up trails in VA baby!

I sold the other one to KWII.
