Former Philadelphia TV sportscaster ordered to repay Allentown couple
Updated On: Jan 10 2014 05:23:11 PM CST
A former Philadelphia sportscaster has been ordered to pay up in a legal battle involving a couple from Allentown.
Montgomery County Judge Katherine McGill ordered Don Tollefson on Thursday to pay more than $3,500.
The couple, James C. Krasley and Donna Stroup, claimed Tollefson sold them a 2013 Super Bowl package but never provided the airfare.
"When we got to the airport, there was no tickets there for us," said Krasley.
Krasley said he had to pay for two more tickets. His hotel reservations were also messed up and it was game-time.
"We were supposed to be on the 40-yard line, and we end up being behind the goal post," said Krasley.
During the roller coaster ride, Krasley said Tollefson kept saying he would reimburse the money spent on airfare, car rental and other charges.
"We never saw a dime," said Krasely.
This week, Krasley won the judgement of more than $3,500.
Tollefson didn't go to the hearing because he's in a treatment center.
"It's a combination of substance abuse and mental health issues," said attorney Michael McGovern, who released a statement from Tollefson's saying, "After completing my course of treatment, I will fully address all of the above issues. I am truly sorry for any inconvenience and anxiety caused by these circumstances."
The Bucks County district attorney's office said it has located more than 100 people with stories similar to Krasley's and thinks more are still out there.
"Criminal charges are forthcoming in this case. I think it's not a question of if at this stage. It's a question more of when," said Deputy District Attorney Ryan Hyde, adding that charges should be filed within the next 90 days.

Early lessons on food, finance
Share via Email
Re: A gentler approach to kids' health, Aug. 19
A gentler approach to kids' health, Aug. 19
Rather than spending time and money measuring students' body mass index (BMI), doesn't it make more sense, starting in kindergarten, to teach healthy eating, cooking, and how to grow your own food both indoors and outdoors? There are students who grow up on microwaved food and may seldom eat a vegetable or fruit.
We don't need to get kids dieting to lose weight. It should all be about healthy eating and not diet food. In more cases than not diet food can increase appetite. Kids should be drinking water not soda.
And by the way, with Canadians drowning in debt the same should be done for finances. Starting in kindergarten they should be taught information that will help them in the real world. Get them starting to save early and understand saving for something rather than buying on credit.
By the time they graduate high school they will be more prepared than their parents.

Labour 'serious' on roading projects
Phil promises more moneyHELEN HARVEY
Relevant offers
Labour is promising to put more money into regional roading projects that may include SH3 north of New Plymouth.
But the party's transport and housing spokesman Phil Twyford stopped short of saying a Labour government would definitely fix the road.
"What Labour is going to do is restore the balance and put more money into regional roading projects and take a hard look at economic value and I believe that will put SH3 in a much much stronger position to get funding."
Twyford's visit to Taranaki yesterday included Port Taranaki, New Plymouth Mayor Andrew Judd and a trip to Stratford. He then returned to New Plymouth for a public meeting last night.
Twyford said he was aware of what an important economic lifeline the road north was and the bad state it was in. Labour was taking the economic value of roading projects really seriously.
Putting his housing hat on, Twyford said New Zealand had a housing crisis in Auckland and Christchurch, but there were "spill-overs" all over New Zealand. New Plymouth came in at 54.5 per cent on the Roost Home Affordability index, he said.
"Anything over 40 per cent is considered to be unaffordable."
On average people in New Plymouth are paying more than half their income on their mortgages and first home buyers have to find $84,000 for a medium house deposit. Labour's Kiwibuild project would see 10,000 new homes a year and when added to the party's capital gains tax would see the heat come off the housing market, he said.

Irvin House receives $25,000 for medical equipment from Cobram District Health Ladies Auxiliary.TONI BRIENT May 2, 2014 3:38am
Friends of the hospital: (from left) Irvin House nurse unit manager Netta Shanklend shows Cobram District Health Ladies Auxiliary president Diane Clissold and Cobram District Health board chair Jenny Gould the equipment and plaque purchased with the auxiliary's $25 000 donation.
Irvin House residents are set to benefit from two new medical machines and other equipment after a $25
The residential aged care facility adjoining Cobram District Health now has a suction machine which nurse unit manager Netta Shanklend said was used to prevent residents choking.
Ms Shanklend said the centre also bought a new machine to measure residents' vital signs, including blood pressure and heart rate, two new shower chairs and a reclining chair. She said the auxiliary's donation would have a big impact at Irvin House.
''It makes the residents more comfortable — and that's what we're here for,'' she said.
Cobram District Health chief executive Craig De Lacy said the centre's residents wouldn't be the only ones to benefit from the new equipment.
''It's going to make it easier for staff to provide a great level of care,'' Mr De Lacy said.
''The electric vital signs machine really makes it quick for staff .
Mr De Lacy said the organisation was grateful for the ''exceptional'' support from the auxiliary.
''It's a wonderful effort. They're really dedicated to the cause.''
Cobram District Health Board chair Jenny Gould was also impressed by the auxiliary's donation.
She thanked members at an afternoon tea held for them at Irvin House on Wednesday.
''I've always joked about how many lamingtons it takes to make $100,'' Mrs Gould said.
''Since I've been involved with the auxiliary, I'm continuously amazed by how much work you're always putting in.
''It fascinates me that some of you worked here before you joined the auxiliary and you've come back for round two. You've made a life out of supporting the hospital.''

Van Life : A Trip to the Highland Perthshire Enduro
A Mountain Biking video by kevduckerz - 2,190 views
After the MacAvalanche was cancelled I swapped my entry to another "No Fuss" event a blind Enduro while riding a grueling 30 mile XC Loop.
I've not had the van long and its not yet fully a camper, but this is just the sort of thing I knew would would an easier, cheaper and more enjoyable trip with a decent size van.
So up with Ben, and meeting up with Mark, Alastair & Ross up there - some serious riders Mark won the Elite class at National Gravity Enduro at Innerleithen last week (I was 71st Master). Riding with fast guys as a benchmark helps me to push and know where the true limit is .... Thanks for waiting for me on the transitions :)
Stage 1 isnt in the edit, it took me 12 mins, 4km basically flat, 1 up on boggy moorland, and 1 down on a wide track spinning out my top gear - one for the fit XC boys not great to watch - although is was over 50% of the timed stages.
Stage 2 was a short steep fresh cut descent. A real challenge to ride blind with no practise - easy to get caught out (and I did) and no clear line at times.
Stage 3 was my best, finished 3rd fastest master. Top half was slightly downhill, boggy in places moorland and then into a nice interesting wooded lower half. Only the lower half makes the edit.
Stage 4 was down the Dunkeld downhill track, really need to know where your going for this one, riding blind was hard work - although while resting from the transition did walk down the top 25% and watch some riders lines & offs.

It's not a topic most people enjoy talking about, but Namon Nassef is quite passionate. He has created a waste management system called the "Zero Liquid Discharge" Sewage Elimination System that is used in transportation systems, reports pnj.com.
The system eliminates human waste without leaving odor, sludge or particles that harm the environment.
Nassef believes his invention, currently being produced for beta testing by a tour bus company, eventually will be a staple anywhere where getting rid of large amounts of stored waste is a problem — on buses, recreational vehicles, boats and airplanes. It already has received approval for future marine use by the Coast Guard.
Once the testing phase is complete, Nassef hopes to market the system initially to tour buses and corporate motor coaches.
"I have yet to meet anyone who likes going in to use a bus toilet," Nassef said. "They stink. They're not eliminating waste. They're storing it. And the bugs from your gut don't know they're not supposed to continue breaking down the waste, so they do. That generates volatile organic compounds" — the stinky parts of human waste.

Demography's bottom line
(photo credit:)
Does anybody in Kadima still remember the "existential demographic threat" that supposedly motivated its plan to unilaterally withdraw from most of the West Bank - and hence the party's very formation?
Judging by the proposed 2007 budget, the answer is no - because the budget contains not a single measure aimed at dealing with this threat. That might have been excusable some months ago, when the jury was still out on whether budgetary measures actually affect birthrates. But recent data seems to have conclusively answered this question: In Israel, unlike in Europe, money is a major factor in deciding whether to have more children.
This point was dramatically illustrated by last month's Central Bureau of Statistics data on total fertility rates - the number of children an average woman will have in her lifetime. According to the bureau, the TFR for Israeli Muslims, which remained steady at 4.7 from 1985 to 2000, crept down to 4.5 over the next three years. But between 2003 and 2005, it plunged from 4.5 to 4.0 - a drop of half a child in only two years.
Among southern Beduin, the drop was even more dramatic: Between 2003 and 2005, the TFR fell from 9.0 to 7.6 - a decline of 1.4 children in two years.
In contrast, the Jewish TFR remained at 2.6-2.7, just as it has for the past decade.
WHAT HAPPENED in those two years to so dramatically change Muslim birthrates, while leaving Jewish birthrates unaffected? The only plausible answer is the drastic reduction in child allowances that began in June 2003.
Until then, child allowances were graduated: NIS 144 apiece for the first and second child, NIS 195 for the third, NIS 454 for the fourth and NIS 522 for each child thereafter. Thus a family of two would receive only NIS 288 a month, but a family of six would receive NIS 1,981 - at that time, about 60 percent of the minimum wage.
In 2003, however, the government decided to gradually cut child allowances to a flat NIS 140 per child by 2009. For families with one or two children - some two-thirds of all Jewish families - the change was negligible, and therefore did not affect birthrates. But for families with four or more children - i.e. most Muslim families - the financial impact was dramatic. And hence, the dramatic drop in Muslim birthrates.
Then, in September, published data indicated that the converse also holds true: Unlike elsewhere in the West - where the number of children declines as income rises - in Israel, the number of children increases as income rises. Citing Central Bureau of Statistics data, the article noted that while the average Israeli household numbers 3.7 people, in families with monthly incomes of NIS 50,000 or more, the average rises to 4.3.
Nor is this surprising: According to a survey conducted by the Jewish Agency last year, the average Jewish Israeli family would like at least three children (the averages were 3.0 for secular couples, 3.6 for traditional couples, 5.5 for religious Zionists and 8.9 for haredim). And the primary reason cited by respondents for having fewer children was lack of money.
THUS THE bottom line is that in Israel, money is a powerful tool for influencing demography. And since two-thirds of Jewish Israeli families have only one or two children, while Muslim families average four, this money should clearly be aimed at encouraging second or third births.
One way to do this would be to increase child allowances for the first and second child - which would even make some financial sense, since the first child is when a family incurs the "big-ticket" expenses (crib, high chair, stroller, etc.). Raising the allowances enough to really matter might eventually require a budget increase, but the initial step would be budget-neutral: The money saved by the ongoing reduction in allowances for large families could simply be redirected into larger allowances for the first and second child.
THE OTHER possibility is to reduce the costs associated with having children - particularly day care and education.
For low-income families, where two earners are often essential, subsidized day care is critical to encouraging the birthrate. Currently, child care for children below school age can cost thousands of shekels a month, meaning that women who earn the minimum wage (about NIS 3,450 a month) come home with almost nothing after paying for day care. Such women therefore have a strong financial incentive to avoid having more children.
Theoretically, subsidized day care would help Jewish and Muslim families equally. In practice, however, the main impact would probably be on the Jewish birthrate, since in the Muslim community the social prejudice against working women remains strong.
The second issue is schooling. By law, "free" public schools are allowed to charge significant sums each year: Last year, for instance, the legal maximum was NIS 1,493 per student for high schools. And in practice, schools often exceed this limit: According to the Education Ministry, high schools actually charged an average of NIS 3,939 per student last year.
To this must be added thousands of shekels a year for textbooks, which our "free" public schools do not provide. Nor can textbooks be recycled from child to child: Not only do they change frequently, but many are actually workbooks, meaning they can be used only once.
FINALLY, many middle-class families spend thousands of shekels a year on extracurricular schooling, since that is the only way to ensure their children a decent education.
Taken altogether, these expenses are an obvious disincentive to additional children for all but the wealthiest families. Significantly reducing these outlays - for instance, by eliminating school fees and requiring schools to provide textbooks - would make extra children much more affordable.
Again, this would theoretically affect Muslim and Jewish birthrates equally. However, given the two communities' differing educational patterns, that might not prove true in practice.
Thus if the government truly cares about the demographic issue, there is much it could do to affect the situation. And this would be a far better use of its energies than squabbling about inquiry commissions.

Heavily pregnant mother, 32, and her baby died after trainee surgeons removed her OVARY instead of her appendix
- Maria De Jesus was admitted for surgery at Queen's Hospital in Romford
- Because she was heavily pregnant, surgeons had to 'feel' for the appendix
- She died 19 days after first botched operation from multiple organ failure
- 'A lost window of opportunity could have saved her,' said coroner
- Mrs De Jesus' family said she was 'unlawfully killed by a 'litany of errors'
A Mother-to-be died after trainee surgeons took out an ovary instead of her appendix in a weekend operation.
Maria De Jesus was five months pregnant when she was admitted to hospital with serious abdominal pain.
Doctors correctly diagnosed appendicitis only to remove the wrong organ on the operating table.
They discharged their 32-year-old patient from hospital but – two weeks after the initial operation – readmitted her because she was still in great pain.
Maria De Jesus, 32, pregnant with the the baby she miscarried days before she died of multiple organ failure. She was suffering from appendicitis but unsupervised trainee surgeons removed one of her ovaries by mistake
By now, a pathology report revealing the failure to remove her dangerously inflamed appendix had been available for a week. Yet, incredibly, doctors had not read it.
They only looked at the report, and realised their mistake, two days later – when Mrs De Jesus had a miscarriage.
By now she was suffering sepsis, a severe blood infection caused by the untreated appendicitis.
She had an emergency operation to remove septic fluid but died 48 hours later on the operating table when surgeons finally removed her appendix. She had suffered major organ failure.
Yesterday her husband Adelino said a 'litany of errors' had been made during his wife's treatment and he planned to take legal action against Queen's Hospital in Romford, East London.
'My wife's death could have been prevented, I am sure of it,' said the 53-year-old. 'By the time they realised how serious the situation was – and they promised us all the best consultants – it was too late.
'This is neglect, this is an unlawful killing. If my wife had been given treatment by fully qualified staff and people were informed of the mistake earlier she could still be alive.
'She went to hospital with stomach pains and we were told she needed to have her appendix out.
'She had the operation, and left hospital eight days later, but the pain continued. We wouldn't have ever imagined what they had done.'
Mrs De Jesus' condition failed to improve after the mistake was noticed and she died on the operating table at Queens Hospital, Romford (pictured) after medics finally removed her appendix - 19 days after the wrong procedure. She had developed severe sepsis as a result of the appendicitis
At an inquest last week, coroner Chinyere Inyama spoke of a 'lost window of opportunity' that could have saved Mrs De Jesus's life.
The hearing in Walthamstow, North-East London, was told the operation was carried out on Sunday, October 23, 2011, by two trainee surgeons without the supervision of a consultant.
Eight days later tests showed they had bungled but it was not until November 9 – and when Mrs De Jesus had been back in their care for two more days – that doctors read the report and realised the appendix had not been dealt with.
Dr Sunita Sharma told the hearing she examined the pathology results because she was 'puzzled' that Mrs De Jesus was still in pain.
'It didn't make sense that a healthy young woman with appendicitis wasn't recovering after the appendix had been removed,' she said.
'I looked at the results and it showed that her ovary had been removed and not her appendix. I could not believe it, I was shocked.' Barking, Havering and Redbridge Hospital Trust has admitted liability for Mrs De Jesus's death on November 11, 2011.
Chief executive Averil Dongworth said: 'The trust fully accepts the inquest verdict. I would once again like to apologise unreservedly to Mrs De Jesus's family for their loss.
'We have admitted liability in this case. The staff involved in Mrs De Jesus's care have been deeply affected by her death.
'An extensive trust-wide action plan was drawn up following Mrs De Jesus's death in 2011 to ensure that such a tragic incident will not happen again.
'We have kept Mrs De Jesus's family fully informed about the investigation into her death and the subsequent wide-ranging work which has taken place to improve systems and patient safety.'
Liability: Mrs de Jesus's husband said 'My wife could still be alive'
The General Medical Council is investigating eight hospital staff, including senior surgical consultant Dr Babatunde Coker over the case.
Mrs De Jesus, a teaching assistant from Dagenham, East London, would have been 34 this month.
Her daughter Catarina, ten, said: 'We have put the balloons up because it was mum's birthday and it's good to celebrate it.' Her son Pedro, 16, said: 'It feels like such a big injustice.'
The coroner recorded a narrative verdict.
Shocking findings published last month revealed that patients who have planned operations at the weekend rather than a Monday are 82 per cent more likely to die.
Researchers from Imperial College London looked at four million elective operations in NHS hospitals in England between 2008 and 2011 with at least one night spent in hospital.
Elective surgery normally involves procedures such as heart bypass, hip and knee replacements, gastric operations and hysterectomies. Altogether 27,500 patients died within 30 days of surgery, with the risk lowest for those having it on Monday and rising on each subsequent day of the week.
The extra risk on Tuesday was minimal, but went up to 15 per cent on Wednesday, 21 per cent for Thursday patients and 44 per cent on Friday – all compared with Monday. Almost one in 20 operations was performed at a weekend, when the increased risk reached 82 per cent, said the study published online at bmj.com.
Further pressure on hospitals at weekends has come from patients flooding casualty units because of the problems accessing out-of-hours GP care.

Science museum to invest $900K in two new exhibits

The Buffalo Museum of Science has signed a deal with Hadley Exhibits Inc. to create its next two science studio exhibits, with a combined investment of $900,000.
The insects studio, featuring pinned butterflies and large-scale models of invertebrates from the museum's collection, will open in September. It will be followed by a culture studio next March, relying heavily on anthropological and ethnographic pieces from its collection.
"We have a very rich collection to support each of these exhibit experiences," said Mark Mortenson, executive director. "All of these components will be leveraged."
The science museum last year introduced its "Explore You" health science exhibit on functions of the human body. It was the first of eight science studios to be implemented over the next five years. A second studio on earth systems opened in October called "Our Marvelous Earth."
In June, the "In Motion" studio will open to explore the physics of motion by allowing visitors to build their own devices and conduct experiments. That will be the third and final studio designed by Roto, a Dublin, Ohio, exhibits company. The contract with Hadley Exhibits represents a new partnership and opportunities for continued tweaking of the exhibits, Mortenson said.
"We have changed that strategy and focused more of our efforts on the local market," he said. "This institution is collections-rich. Working with a local company offers us the opportunity to ensure the exhibits created will truly support the ongoing rotation of our collections elements."
With an operating budget of about $3.5 million, the science museum has relied on both foundation and corporate support to fund the first three studios. For the two new studios, several supporting sponsors have signed on but a presenting sponsor has not yet been identified.
Hadley Exhibits has a long history of museum exhibits including the Smithsonian, Ellis Island Immigration Museum and the Sports Museum of America. Representatives of the Buffalo company are combing through the museum's archives, assessing how to use items that haven't been seen by the public in a while as well as those already on display in glass cases.
The culture studio will include items from the museum's Papua New Guinea collection, as well as jade and Egyptian materials, some of which have been on display in the Whem Ankh ancient Egypt exhibit. The exhibit is expected to rotate every six months.
All science studio experiences are tied to core curriculum standards, including science and social studies, which will provide additional opportunities with school groups.
"What we're trying to promote is the science museum is not just a field trip," he said. "It's an offsite classroom that can help to re-interpret the materials being presented in the classroom, but these materials are actual artifacts that can support classroom learning."

Fitzgerald re-signs with Leinster
ESPN Staff
July 11, 2012
Luke Fitzgerald has re-signed with Leinster despite his injury woe © PA Photos
Leinster have announced that winger Luke Fitzgerald has penned a new one-year deal with the club and have also unveiled two new signings.
Fitzgerald has been linked with a move away from the province in the past after he spent much of last season sidelined through injury. Talks between the Irish Rugby Football Union and Fitzgerald's agent broke down with Leinster then rumoured to be offering the winger a contract despite the lack of central funding. Fitzgerald will now look to get back to his best next term although it seems likely that he will only be fit in time for 2013 rather than the start of the new season.
Leinster boss Joe Schmidt hailed Fitzgerald's re-signing saying: "We are delighted that Luke has committed to the province for another year. Luke is an outstanding talent and he has played a major role in Leinster's recent success.''
Leinster have also announced the double signing of South African lock Quinn Roux and Kiwi back Andrew Goodman with the duo signing one-year contracts. Roux arrives from the Western Province while Goodman joins from Nelson RFC.
Schmidt said of the duo: "Quinn is a physically imposing forward with a burgeoning reputation in South Africa and he will add further competitiveness to the second row alongside Leo Cullen, Damian Browne, Devin Toner and Mark Flanagan as well as our other recent signing Tom Denton. Andrew is a quality player and has been a consistent place-kicker for a number of years.
"Both players are determined to make a positive impression over the forthcoming season and we are very pleased to have secured their services.

Jeremy Barfield is making the transition from position player to pitcher
Nov 23, 2013, 12:11 PM EST
Interesting story from Jane Lee of MLB.com about the Athletics' Jeremy Barfield, who is busy making the transition from position player to pitcher.
Jeremy, the son of former major league outfielder Jesse Barfield, was informed about his move to the mound back in July. An eighth-round pick of Oakland in 2008, the 25-year-old posted a .261/.329/.399 batting line over parts of six seasons in the minors and didn't appear likely to reach the majors as a position player. The A's have always been intrigued by his arm strength from the left side, so they are hoping he can follow a similar path as Sean Doolittle, who has made the switch from oft-injured first base prospect to one of the most dominant relievers in the American League.
Barfield started out in the instructional league and recently spent some time in the Dominican Republic for winter ball. A's director of player development Keith Lieppman understandably still considers him "raw" at this point in his development, but he's topping out at 93 mph with his fastball and also throws a slider and split-finger.
Interestingly, Barfield learned his slider in part due to former All-Star Dontrelle Willis, whom he met while doing his other job of hanging up Christmas lights on houses in Arizona. Most of those houses are owned by major league players. Barfield uses his second job as a motivational tool.
"All those houses make me want to work harder," Barfield said, "just so I can live there. All I want is a chance."
Really cool story. Barfield is very active on Twitter, so be sure to follow his journey there.

Now who starts at QB for the Minnesota Vikings?

Tarvaris Jackson is making a case to be the Vikings' starting quarterback. He threw three touchdown passes in the first quarter and went on to have one of the best games of his career. Full Story

Pat Williams has a broken shoulder blade, out 2-6 weeks.
T-jack will undoubtedly be the starter (for now), and I will be holding my breath on every pass. I was pleased to see some touch on his screen passes though, and his accuracy was there on every throw but the long one over the middle to Berrian.

i think we should leave jackson as starter the remainder of the season. if we dont then we should at least let him play next week and see what happens. i find him much better the gus right now, gus brought us to where we are at, now jackson has to finish what gus started.
#67 Dec 15, 2008
i'll admit jackson has had a couple good games but take notice he was improved the last few games last year so we still should draft a qb for the future bradford or harell

Coach has gotta be damn tempted to start TJax. I'm not taking anything away from Gus. Remember: He was the QB that got The Vikes in contention. He did the same thing back in the old Culpepper days. Gus is a real warrior, I'll grant him that. Man, the dude has taking a beating!(and he bleeds purple)
Jackson is Childress' project. Was brought in and groomed to be the future franchise QB. He's been brought along and nurtured for this moment in time. And Gus is a damn good, and unselfish teacher. Turn Jackson loose against Atlanta. I've had a case of the @$$ against them since 1998.
#69 Dec 16, 2008
And they'd be right. Because shockingly, it HAS been 1.5 games and it has NOT been against good defenses. Enough said. Having a couple better games than Gus doesn't make you good. Gus had a couple games better than T-Joke. That hardly makes him the next Peyton. Both are back-up caliber quarterbacks. Regardless of how the season finishes or with whom, we need to use our first pick on a QB.

You're half right. We don't need a strong armed deep passer when playing the WCO. However you do need a QB that can make quick reads and find the 2nd,3rd and 4th receiver with a three or four step drop. TJ has always struggled to find the secondary receiver and panicks under pressure. He isn't allowed to make adjustments at the line and frankly I don't think he can reads defenses well enough to have that responsibility. He has played against the worst team in the league and the Cardinals who were flat after clinching their first division title in about 35 years. Yes they wanted to win and certainly didn't tank the game but any true student of sports psychology would have understood the reason for their pathetic performance agianst a more determined team. Wait until after the next two games and then we will talk again about Jackson. If he continues to play as well and puts up 3 or 4 TD's against the Falcons and the Giants he will have earned all the praise we can heap on him and should make us a true contender in the playoffs. TWT.

Kid, I have been a Viking fan since your daddy was leaving stains on his sheets thinking about sophomore chicks..give it a rest. you can line up at the Kool-aid stand if you wish. Have at it, the Kid (TJack) had a decent game. Passed for a buck sixty and stayed safe against the leaders of the NFC West (gasp) and the 0-14 Liedowns..hardly the stuff of legends..give it a rest Francis, let him demonstrate for the first time against a real football team that this team can depend on him when the rushing attack is stopped. Let the record show (please research before responding) that TJack has never led the team to victory when the rushing has been stuffed. Now, I think Gus is past his prime but what were the rushing stats in the New Orleans game..or Carolina..look, TJack got a chance to watch and learn...maybe he learned something, who knows..I am still waiting for him to make a few decent reads on the defense (skewering a 1 deep zone with man on the corners isn't exactly rocket science when they are leaning forward reading run first...) His progress has been commendable, but it came against ideal opponents for him to throw against and under pretty decent conditions..the Vikes got all over the Cards early and there was no pressure..just execute..if we fancy ourselves a battle tested honest to god playoff contender, we better be able to throw once in while when the running game is bottled up. He has not performed once in his storied career in that capacity successfully. Go ahead, look it up..I can wait. When you shoot your mouth off, do a little research and back your your c.r.a.p. up with a little factual backup..otherwise you are just another pile of boygoo.
