Oh, how wonderful! Gets my heart aching at how out-of-wedlock births and cohabitation is accepted so readily today, without any sense of shame, especially when the chances of them getting married or staying together if they do marry has just dropped to about 50%. Why doesn't Coughlin put some pressure on the idiot to make his daughter respectable.

Katie Coughlin is scheduled to graduate from Boston College this spring.

Conservative Catholic school, isn't it? She hasn't learned much, apparently.

"The fact of the matter is that both families are extremely happy," Coughlin said. "We're very proud of our daughter, Katie, and we're very proud of Chris Snee and the commitment they have made towards raising our grandson, Dylan."

Daddy, I'm your little princess, right? Won't you let that guy who knocked me up play football with you? Please, Daddy?

When we called them "bastards" there were far fewer of them. I guess the way to get drafted by an NFL team is to knock up the coach's daughter....charming.

Snee was the second pick of the second round, the 34th choice overall in the NFL draft.

FWIW, of the 4 mock draft results that I've seen, Snee was anywhere between the 40th and 64th pick overall.

Would abortion have been an acceptable alternative?

[John Thornton]

On this mock draft, he was picked 57th.http://www.contractbud.com/index.html?source=REDIRECT&article=all_2004MockDraft3

This is really bizarre. The pro sports arena has become such a soap opera. A man who is a big sports fan has lost rights to ridicule women who are soap opera fans... they adore the same characterless characters, but hers wear better clothes (when they bother with clothes).

“Why doesn't Coughlin put some pressure on the idiot to make his daughter respectable.“

You might want to define respectable. There are too few of the younger generation that have ever heard that word much less could describe the nature or basic qualities of the concept.
