But my criteria might be different than yours. My list is decent people who may have big hearts (I think Marbury does), but just butt stupid with poor impulse control and inferior social skills. I think the right coach/mentor/authority figure could turn Burress around, but neither Cowher nor Coughlin is that type of person.

I actually get that (cue sad harmonica music in the background).

I bet Mini's closest to the truth.

There was a story on the radio this morning and the announcer said that a new word had been coined - "Plaxident", which is defined as a moment of stupidity that ends up costing you $35 million.

The main question now about the whole incident is
Spoiler
How long will it take for this to become the story line for a Law and Order episode?

Ex-city cop wins huge award after chair he sat in broke, sending bullet into his knee

BY SCOTT SHIFREL

It's ragged, ripped and unsteady, but you can call it the city's $4.5 million chair.

Former New York City Detective Anderson Alexander was sitting in it in Brooklyn's 73rd Precinct on Jan. 1, 2002, when his partner handed him his gun so the partner could interview a suspect.

Alexander leaned back to put the gun in his waistband, but the back of the chair gave way, his finger slipped and the 9-mm. Smith & Wesson fired a bullet into his left knee.

Now, despite the best efforts of city lawyers to portray the 11-year veteran as a klutz, a Brooklyn jury has awarded Alexander $4,548,000 in damages.

Suitguy is not bitter.

feels he represents the many educated and rational onlookers who believe that the hysterical denouncement of lay scepticism is both unwarranted and counter-productive

The problem, then, is that such calls do not address an opposition audience so much as they signal virtue. They talk past those who need convincing. They ignore actual facts and counterargument. And they are irreparably smug.
