Interesting, I spoke to a guy who runs a business in town and works with various youth sports the other day who told me Rick Perry was always hanging around kids whose dads weren't around and their mothers were off working. Seems to be a pattern. Really sucks that kids nowadays can't even trust a big brother father figure type. My guess is they must have grown up in a pretty messed up home to …   more ›

Although the act is reprehensible, I am not surprised nothing (allegedly) surfaced. Everyone knows everyone in Bristol and even minor cover ups are common. I have witnessed a big time athlete sucker punch and injure a "regular" male in the high school. THE VICTIM WAS SUSPENDED......the athlete, NOTHING!!!!   more ›
