Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
I don't think his apology is sufficient.

Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
Or sincere. "Just Kidding" or "Can't y'all take a joke?" doesn't really constitute an apology.

Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
I didn't find it amusing at all either.
I have a racing friend who less than 2 years ago was brought down on a cycle path by a wire strung across it between posts. Ended up in hospital and required a jaw and tooth reconstruction as a result. He is back but I don't see him compete so much any more. This guy has won so many Australian titles I can't count them all. Of course I had my own incident, not with a wire but a near invisible boom gate. I lost my leg as a result. |

Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
Lost your leg?
I know in NYC some folks throw water on the road in some areas right before a really cold night and in the morning it is a sheet of black ice...many a tumble there in the middle of traffic...not too much fun. -Js Quote:

Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
This is outrageous. And this crap does happen. See the link below.http://www.injurywatch.co.uk/news-and-groups/news/sports-injury/cycling-injury-woman-seriously-injured-but-wire-trap-for-cyclists-in-park-could-have-decapitated-victim-1276534/
I am also familiar with the same wire traps being used in the USA against MTBs, off road motorcyclists, ATV, and snowmobilers. Do a google search and you will see. As annoying or obnoxious as you might subjectively find another's hobby, setting death traps, or suggesting death traps, is way out of line. |

Re: The Biggest, Most Arrogant, Obnoxious Pratt Alive!
Yeah, it's common place and acceptable to talk about killing someone in a newspaper. Sure. What a loser.
