Hey that's my desk Dammit!
Don't call a disease trendy.
That's douchey.
Sorry about your mom though. Like I said before diseases are the worst.
Other than the whores and sluts that had sex with Gronk no one deserves a disease.
Well maybe Bill Belichek and Hitler...

If you're not going to donate, at least raise awareness, if you're not going to do either, you're an asshole.

... that's the point of the ice bucket.
A) Someone calls you out
B) You either dump the bucket on your head then post on social media(to raise awareness)
or
C) Donate money.
If you do both then obviously you're going above and beyond, but at least do one if you're tagged.

Before we drafted him :"")
Yeah I get that. Like Ez said, you should do B and C.
Even when the Sixers had AI and went to the Finals, I was always a bigger Eagles, Flyers, and Phillies fan. You're right it does contribute to it. The competitive balance in the NBA is shit.

Most celebrities are opting for both, but some folks are just dumping ice and not really explaining what it's about.

They are not. It's usually one or the other (for normal people anyways), celebrities and athletes are probably doing both since well they are in a special category.
Not everyone has $100 to donate...

Practice?
That's what everyone on my Facebook is doing.

Idk, Donate what money you got. Nobodys gonna call you out for not donating enough money to a good cause.
Yeah, most people are at least the celebs I've seen.
As to the guy with his mom being ill...
Well wishes to her, but it's best to treat these situations with a positive outlook, rather than misguided jealousy. I hope for her sake that her disease gets more exposure, but you can't take away from other people's success given the topic.
That's fine, chip in 10. I don't want to dwell on it because it is raising awareness and generating money for the cause but I feel like some people definitely on my Facebook are doing it just because it is the current thing everyone is doing and not really concentrating on the point behind it all.

I'm just explaining to what the actual challenge states... and that was the point is that if you don't have money you raise awareness to people who haven't heard of it, and maybe they have the money.
Even if they have bad intentions, or no intentions at least they are raising awareness for it. It's better then nothing... or that's my take. Maybe one of them is like wtf is ALS, then google it.

Ultimate marketing ploy. Everyone buys Manziel jerseys this year, and will have to buy the new Browns Manziel jersey next year. lol

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
So Phil Simms is gonna call the Washington Redskins, Washington, yet other teams with their moniker
Why not just call all teams by their city?, Jesus fuck talk about being an attention whore commentator
Just do it, don't announce to the world that you are going to take a stand

I think it would be naive to think that every single person who does the Ice Bucket Challenge is doing it purely out of the goodness of their heart. I have no doubt there is a element of bandwagon-jumping/"look at me too" vanity for a minority of the people doing it.
But for the majority of folks doing it, I think they are learning more and more about ALS through this campaign and they legitimately want to do their part in fighting it. Lou Gehrig's is an awful, terrifying disease. Any little thing that could be done to raise awareness for it, educate more people about it, and eventually get more people contributing (whether that be financially or just their time) towards fighting it, the better.

Don't see how people can find a negative in this.
Isn't this better than people taking a picture of their dinner or the typical duck face selfie?
At least it is something positive.
We should encourage this. Even from the attention whores.

They said they're not changing the helmet at all, but didn't mention changing the shade of orange. I'd be cool with that.

Yeup. My pal is likely to not see Age 30. Shit's scary.
I'd love to know how you came to this definitive answer.

Ahh, the Boner alert. The favorite of my Bat-Alerts.
I'm more happy about Butler because he's not Darius Butler.

Apparently Lombardi loved Tyms in Cleveland and convinced Bill to bring him over, and fought for Butler as a priority UDFA. Praise Lombardi!
