Risky Proposition
I've always wondered about those "in game"/high visibility marriage proposals. From today's Houston Chronicle in an article about the Astros game:
The biggest excitement happened in the stands when a fan failed in his public attempt at popping the question.
With the couple highlighted on the big screen, the mood soured after the man took a knee to offer an engagement ring. Wearing a brick-red replica Astros jersey, the woman appeared to angrily dump a bag of popcorn on the man before rushing up the stairs amid a chorus of boos.
After the top of the sixth, the man left amid cheers from the sympathetic crowd.
This is the stuff youtube.com was made for. Please. Please. Please. Hope that someone was rolling tape.

How humiliating! You know it's just a matter of time before it's on youtube.
Why do you even put stuff like the blog post above this one (Messenger pics smiling Monroe) if you are not going to allow comments? Just don't antagonize us like that.... I know Jackie, and that woman has nothing to smile about...ever, after the damage SHE HAS CAUSED! She deserves ALL the time she should get in jail.
and you don't believe that was "set up?" uhhh...I do! Anything to get on the screen!
Most of those are publicity stunts. I can't remember specifics, but there was a similar thing at a basketball game where the girl said no, and it turned out to be a hoax.
Barry I'm disappointed. You said you wouldn't post comments regarding the Murphree wreck and then you post 8:20's comment. If there is going to be a ban on posting on that topic it needs to be a complete ban. I'm truly empathetic to the family's emotional trauma, but I also believe in innocent until proven guilty in a court of law, and comments like those are hanging the defendant before she has a chance to enter the courtroom. You should know better!
