Sure, it's nobody's JOB to show humility. Nobody get's paid to do that, and it's not a law. So, nobody has to show humility ever. I get that. I just think humans SHOULD be more considerate. You obviously don't. Do you ever hold the door open for somebody? Do you ever let another car into your lane? Probably not, since you obviously don't value human compassion.

What's that magical point when one passes from the "humility zone" and into mean-spiritedness? On that touchdown run, should Cassel have carried out Belichick's "humility" and run out of bounds?
Oh, I see. Since you can't argue why it is okay to humiliate people, you will just come at me with a bunch of crap. Obviously there is no way to quantify embarrassment, so you just ask a question that can't be answered. Good argument. It's one of those gray areas. It's subjective. Don't ask me to objectify it, because it can't be done. It's just one of those things you have to use your judgment on. I can't say where the line is, but that doesn't mean that I don't know when it's been crossed.

So he put in Cassell with 5 minutes left. Do you think that is evidence of BB's humility?

So, if you say something that offends another person it's their fault for getting offended? You played no role in hurting their feelings? I would guess that you don't care about anyone.
