  It's a perfect analogy. God cannon be proven, yet you have billions of dolts who use the indefensible "Well if he doesn't exist then prove it!". Pretty laughable.

  The analogy is dumb as hell, just like you are.

  But neither side can be proven.

  SMH. That was the entire point of the analogy.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  The analogy doesn't work at all.
  
  You actually have evidence here. The Sullivan's said that they didn't want money from Notre Dame, and you continue to claim that there is some unearthed evidence proving that Notre Dame paid them to say that. That is ridiculous. You're a dumbass. If that is how things worked, I guess I could say that Braxton Miller molests children and you'd have to prove to me that he doesn't.
  
  You ignorance is mind-boggling.

  You're a ****ing joke.

  Argumentum ex silentio.
  
  Ignorance about something says nothing of it's existence or non-existence.
  
  "because we've never seen aliens, they must not exist."
  
  "because we've never seen the Sullivan family get paid, they must not have gotten paid."
  
  Fallacy fail.
• Tobias Fünke

  

  Oh get the fuck out of here. In any courtroom in the country sleeper would get laughed at.
  
  How about "because the Sullivan's said that they were not paid, you have to prove that they were or else you lose the case." That's how this would o down.
  
  There is nothing in the world you can truly be 100% certain on, but that's why a burden of proof exists. Without sleeper coming up with everything, any person with half of a brain would come to the conclusion that the Sullivan's are telling the truth.
  
  EDIT: he can't even say why it would behoove them. They clearly could have asked for any amount of money from them, and Notre Dame already admitted guilt and was guilty in the eyes of OSHA.....so why keep quiet? Notre Dame already lost.

  The Sleeper persona, as well as some others on here, went over the line with this thread.
  
  Just done in poor taste. But it riled people up...so Mission Accomplished, I guess?
  
  
  I just have never understood the need to go on an internet message board with the sole intent of starting shit to get under people's skin. But using a young kid's death to do that is pretty low, even for some of the people on here.

  So your university is responsible for a young person's death, and because we are pointing that out we are the low ones?

  A year after the fact just to piss us Notre Dame fans off using more incorrect information than correct? I think it's pretty fucking low.

  So Jim Tressel is an ax murderer? So Braxton Miller molests children?
  
  Are you really being this ignorant right now?

  "Trying to piss us Notre Dame fans off" lol when have I ever tried to piss ND fans off? Mayyyyybe once in my life, but I've probably tried to piss off Ole Miss fans once in my life before; it's sports. I'm not trying to piss anyone off, I'm just pointing out how shady this whole situation was. I mean come on, "maximum fine" is the punishment? No one's head rolled at ND? That can't happen..

  I fail to see the comparison there

  If by your university, you mean, the school whose athletic teams I cheer for...then OK.
  
  Yes, there was a tragic accident in which Declan Sullivan died. But there was a full investigation done and the max penalty under law was paid. The Sullivan family has never said that they want Brian Kelly, or Jack Swarbrick, or Fr. Jenkins fired. If they had asked for that, I'd have a different stance on the incident.
  
  But Tobias is right. Bringing it up a year later just to start shit is low.

  That sleeper is making claims with no evidence and you are saying his baseless opinion stands?
  
  No one is saying that the situation wasn't fucked up. But the Sullivan's and the state said no one person was at fault, and they, being the epitome of unbiased, said no resignations were needed.
  
  If the Sullivan's said they wanted Kelly's head, then Notre Dame would have had no choice. However only people from the outside, the haters and those who were uninformed, said that. That is my beef with this horseshit.

  No, you didn't. I said he had the burden of proof in this case and you said he didn't need it. That is just dumb.

  Well no shit but anyone who makes such a statement needs to have some proof or it means nothing.

  So I can't say that OJ killed Nicole Simpson? I can't just say that, not with any proof or anything--just simply think that OJ killed her? I have to have detailed proof? I can't make my own judgments?
• Tobias Fünke

  

  There is 100x more proof for that then there is that the Sullivan's were paid my Notre Dame to keep quiet. Well it's probably an infinite amount since there is zero proof for what sleeper is saying. At least you are disagreeing with a jury's call, sleeper is making shit up that he knows I cannot proof 100% so in his twisted little brain it stands. It's beyond fucked up, and not that smart. He has the attitude of your average sixth grader.
• SportsAndLady

  

  I'm not disagreeing with anyone's call..I'm just making my own judgments based on common sense, not based on something because I watched Judge Judy today.

  Oh, clever.
