Definitely not one-sided. They did not sugar coat what happened, and I think that's important for people to completely understand the entire incident and its fallout, as well as Knight's problems.

I watched probably the last half and while it was a nice look-back, I'm a jaded journalist who thinks it was just another way for a sports reporter type guy to be "in the news" again, so to speak. Remember that this was done by the original reporter, who now admits there are things he did or didn't do. And having fellow broadcast people look at the video of Neil Reed (rather than a psychologist or someone with that type of training) and tell him what he missed..? Please. It was a tearjerker toward the end and that's what made this program, in my opinion, even though no cause and effect was produced.
It was a story about a story done by the same person who told the original story.

I will say the title "The Last Days of Knight" was quite clever.

I keep all my passwords on a note card in my desk drawer with lots of lines crossing out old passwords. High security!
You just gave away your life. You're supposed to cross out the current passwords...

I've seen this as well. Not sure I want to walk around looking like a knight.

With the upcoming NDSU basketball game I'm surprised Lakes hasn't been sleazing around the basketball board for the last month.

Yes, there are different sub genres to horror. I for one love slasher movies as well as the psychological horrors.
I can't say for certain but I think the first VHS tape I rented was Pieces

FYI if you like psychological horror and you've never seen The Autopsy of Jane Doe you should.

I actually just watched Autopsy with my daughter this past Friday. I thought it was great.

Hey when Bobby brought IU to Ames, we made a sign "Good Knight Bobby", which IMO is as good as that.

Exceptional day at work today, with one person it would have been extremely long, had an extra person done by 1. Need more days like that:).
I just handled something that has been sitting around since May 3rd while people argued back and forth over who's responsible. Took me less than an hour in total. Earlier this week I told someone just take care of it and be done with it. Of course they decided it would be better to try to start the argument again with the other people.
Not happy. Time to drive to Ames

Question: I beleive the ISU vs. Drake game is only on Cyclonestv.com tomorrow, correct?

I'm 99% sure, but I'm going to come into work tomorrow am and want to make sure I can stream it. ...otherwise if i'm wrong, I'll just DVR it and watch at noon.


5000 posts, boom I need a life.
