It's easy, and only takes a few moments.The irony is that they ran it ( when it occurred IIRC) as a small item on the sports pages of the Philadelphia Inquirer. I think it was on New Year's Day so it was missed by many people. When the deaths of Nicole and Ron Goldman were reported, I immediately thought of that little item from a few years earlier. .......
Is this an update on a story about a member of the New England Patriots?
I do believe so. It's fine. I don't understand why people get up-in-arms whenever someone posts about this story.
I think this type of topic should be OK for this mesage board. I think people need to see the full scope of the behavior of people we reward and hold in high esteem. It makes them more human and prevents them from getting full of themselves.
I remember years ago a small, tiny article in the back pages of the L.A. Times about a Mr. O.J. Simpson pleading no contest to battery against his wife Nicole Simpson. No other media outlet covered it, no TV news chanel mentioned it either.

No, it isn't. It's an update on the divorce proceedings of some NJ woman who happens to be an acquaintance of the HC of the NEP.
He's almost 2 years into the process of amicably divorcing, he's reportedly dating some woman from Florida.
This story has nothing to do with him except for the fact that the woman in question asked the court for permission to relocate her kids to NY where she would live in a property he owns. For all we know he owns dozens of properties as investments and prefers to have friends live in them gratis as opposed to renting them out to potential scumbags or leaving them vacant to be broken into since at least in season he spends most of his time sleeping on the floor in his office...
It has nothing to do with football or even his state of mind any longer.
If this story had been about the Colts or Jets HC this thread would have 1000 posts already. Frankly I don't care if BB has 10 GF's and a couple of boyfriends. I think the whole thing, and the reactions, are amusing.
Why can't the private lives of players and coaches remain just that??
When you're in the spotlight... sometimes it shines on you.

Picture yourself making gobs of cash because you excel in the entertainment field (sports, movies or music for example).
Now, picture your every move being photographed, documented, and you are followed by paparazzi and admirer alike.
Is it fair for you to never have a moments peace or any privacy because you are so good at what you do that you have "made it big".
Is it right to have your privacy invaded because you happen to be in the spotlight?
Where does it become wrong and when is that line between obligation and ones personal business crossed?
I don't think that it's fair, but... I don't make the rules.
I guess you have to either accept it, or... dress incognito.
Okey dokey. Next time I stumble across a story that has no bearing on this team let alone football, but mentions a Patriots player once met with or played with or roomed with or grew up with the individual in question, I trust you won't move a thread I may start to the Pub or Interleague forum or anything since today your position seems to be acquaintanceship with the subject of a tabloid story is fair game for initiating a thread here on the football forum.
