I always hated that Parcells said that. Glenn had a very difficult upbringing and found a way to play a tremendously demanding professional sport despite his size. He played receiver when it was still a head hunting league...nothing "she" about that...
What he said was "She seems to be doing better." Think times have changed ? Parcells would be sent to a re-education center if he made that remark today. RIP Terry Glenn An all-time great Buckeye. What a terrible shame .

I can't imagine the backlash had he said something like that in today's climate.

there's a time and a place for this joke. some might say a RIP thread a day after Glenn's tragic early death is not that time or place.
Really? When is the next time we would actually be talking about Terry Glenn?
I doubt waiting two months and thinking of it out of the blue is going to happen.

coming from a guy who posted a picture here mocking kids with progeria (not to mention your general snarky, angry, a-hole attitude), your support of a post that mocks a young former player who died suddenly is not at all surprising.

Whoa. Snarky, angry and the ahole attitude are some of his best qualities.

Fuck you Les....you suck shit thru a tube.
Canada, I heard she is a nice place to live....Fuck you Leslie.
bw in dc, horrific childhood indeed. If memory serves - Mother was a very bad alcoholic who used to leave him and his sister unattended for days. One day police found Glenn's Mother beaten to death in an abandoned building. He might have been around 10.
coming from a guy who posted a picture here mocking kids with progeria
What?? I posted a picture of a kid with progeria to mock someone's age. And it was several years ago.
I don't know what's worse - that you couldn't tell what the fucking picture meant at the time or several years later you still are fucking clueless about it.
Since both situations are a really shitty indication of your level of understanding, let me spell out the difference.
Posting a picture of a kid with progeria and saying something like "Who is babysitting Grandpa tonight?" is mocking the kid with progeria - because it is poking fun at him.
Posting a picture of a kid with progeria to illustrate how old Brett Favre has gotten (or whomever), is poking fun at Favre.
Does that really need to be explained, and why the fuck after several years is it being brought up?

yeah I don't think pics of kids with progeria should be used for mockery even if the target is someone else. They suffer enough to have some grumpy troll use their image in a mocking way. And I'm pretty sure you did that last winter or the year before. But clearly you have no issues making light of a recently deceased player who grew up in terrible conditions or kids with painful genetic conditions
out again that your comprehension is fucking atrocious.

Show me where I've made light of the recently deceased player on this thread? what I said is you were being ridiculous saying he couldn't be joked about right now as if there is some allotted passage of time needed before one mentions terry Glenn. Basically, the only time he was ever going to be addressed here was if he died.
But then again your concept of what a "grumpy troll" is misses the mark too, so you are just a fucking mess when it comes to grasping things.

your original post criticized my comment that it was in bad taste to mock Glenn the day after he died suddenly. I.e. That it is not to soon for jokes
Your comment about the grumpy troll is both hilarious in the context of that sentence and demonstrates you have a serious lack of self awareness combined with some major anger management issues. I don't take it personally because your MO on this site to everyone is to berate, swear, belittle and generally act curmudgeonly.
sounds like a one car accident rollover where the victim was ejected from the vehicle. It's too soon to say but if this is another case of unrestrained occupants of vehicles, it's a damn shame. What is so hard about putting on a seat belt?
It's never a bad time for a joke (that references what he is most remembered for by many) on an internet message board whose members have never and will never meet or be close to the celebrity/athlete that died.
Besides, I'm sure the deceased isn't offended at all.

I don't berate everyone - just abject morons. And I've found they tend to take the largest offense, probably not even realizing what horrific takes they are making.
As I recall, he had his troubles, especially early on, but became a 'Parcells guy' toward the end of his career.
Good ole Tuna...
