Thanks for the update. I’ll have to check that out.

If the father wanted to discipline his child – all the power to him. However, using violence to solve a problem isn’t a lesson I’d want to teach my own children. The father is supposed to be the mature and rationale one, you know, the parent. Getting angry and pulling out a pistol to destroy a computer is the type of juvenile stunt you’d expect from the 15-year-old.

He half apologizes to Wes Welker. Then he gets a ton of pressure from around the country and last week “promises” to make a donation to the Wes Welker Charitable Foundation for kids and doesn’t follow thru with a donation. What a piece of work.

No, clearly the daughter was a complete idiot & ungrateful child who deserved to be punished in such a manner.

A fine idea. Mr. Hills and his company should triple the fine they received from the City of Boston for illegal dumping and present it to charity.

I have made many comments on his company’s facebook & web site accounts and I’m not the only one. Rightly so. He finally relented, sending out what can only be described as a heartless attempt at an apology. I have suggested to Mr. Hills that he and his company make a donation to The Wes Welker Charitable Foundation in Oklahoma City as well as The New England Patriots Charitable Foundation. I believe that may go a long way to healing the wound. If Myra Kraft were alive today, I’m sure she would echo those sentiments. Thanks for listening.

I agree. This is a pure link bait move by Pawngo.

And yes, Daisy, go Bruins!

I’m a Pats fan, and it sucks to listen to other people ripping us apart. It’s like they’re happier that the Pats lost that that the Giants won. Get a life, people!

I think you said it best here: “Pawngo is celebrating the worst part of our sports culture, which is to rip the losers instead of celebrating the winners.” It’s stupid and petty.

I’m hoping the city of Boston fines them for this! Oh, and GO BRUINS!

The stunt obviously will only generate buzz in the Boston area, so it’s not even like they are getting national exposure. Given it’s negative, would that really make Boston natives want to visit the site and check them out? No…. Looks like the Fail Whale is on its way to Denver.

Nice post, George.

The Timeline actually makes finding things easier. The reason it was introduced was to give users faster and easier access to old content. But I do agree that people generally dislike change.
