In these cases, no one truly knows but the couple itself, but that does not keep people from speculating. Orson Wells made a damn good movie about such speculation, called Citizen Kane.

Chuck found himself in an onion shortage.


If he was to insist on staying, he'd be disrespecting her. But you're right that it was probably all over before he even left.


Again considering you know nothing about the situation I think it's pretty stupid to be commenting on it in these terms.


Other than wanting to react to my post because some of the other threads are boring you, what exactly did I say there that's so "stupid" to be commenting on?

That in any way you would know if it was over before he left Toronto.

This is someone's life you are talking about, and to do it so casually like you have any idea what went on with Chuck's life over the last four years is beyond stupid.

We never know what happens behind close doors what really happens.

'We have to cherish life before Fathertime tells us it's time go.' the words I heard Chuck used or someone else

For some reason you take speculation as though we're saying it's fact, and then get offended.

Chuck said he had to go back to Chicago to save his marriage, so even he knew it was on the rocks before he left.

Why even speculate about some guy's marriage when you know nothing about the situation? This isn't about some basketball issue where no one gets hurt, this is someone's life.

Am I offended, no... Do I find it pretty stupid? Sure do.

I think Chuck is a good Christian.

His last couple of seasons here, Chuck had become too much of a caricature.

Devlin is fine. If it were up to me I'd watch the game without play by play and just have the sounds of the court/arena coming through.

I'd be ok with him coming back If he's mellowed out a bit and less prone to homerism, but only if they get rid of Leo.

I wish the Swirsk all the best. He was definitely good for civic moral.

I hate to speculate but I don't think J-Roc and Ozzy get along too well. Call it a hunch.

Both are pansies though.

I get along with J-Roc just fine, we just often don't agree.
