....until the Pharma companies set to lose billions of dollars because their treatments and prescriptions are no longer needed, squash it to keep their pockets full with dying people's money. Cynical, yes. A real possibility, also yes.

Had a girl tell me that if you drink one beer you are legally too drunk to drive. After she refused to budge on such a stupid statement I actually told her, "it's OK to leave now."

So he's too chicken s*** to just wear the t-shirt, but just shows a very small slice of it and I'm supposed to be impressed by how "legendary" he is. Looks more like a guy who's pretending to be edgy but too scared to actually do it.

Saw a -25 (roughly) on a bank sign that showed temps one time in either Ohio or Indiana, can't remember. Add another 10-20 on top of that for the wind chill. Also saw a 104 (roughly) in an Indiana summer. And no, it was not a "dry heat".

Once went on a date with someone who was allergic to wheat (a while ago, may have been something similar if not wheat). Said she couldn't even drink beer. That was enough for me to never call her again. I felt like Seinfeld, finding any excuse to not date someone.

Dryden was in my fraternity, well before my time though, I'm a 2002 grad. Lacrosse also lost the national championship recently, in 2009. Sad story, my friends boyfriend was killed during a game in 2003 (maybe 2004). Took a ball to the chest and suffered cardiac arrest. She was destroyed.

Big Red Bears alumni here. We always choke though with hockey and lacrosse. Probably because I'm a fan and my teams never win anything.

Frank Robinson pops in my mind.

I think you are underrating the value of an extra roster spot. I believe that contact limits are only applicable during the off-season.

What, do you think Pegula doesn't pay for money in the cap? I don't get it. Finally, someone thought of something that makes sense. In the original thread about him re-signing I didn't see anyone mention this and could not figure out the benefit of having him as a player. This makes sense. Cut him later and make him a coach to free up that spot. I can be on board with that.

Saving Private Ryan. The Great Escape. Full Metal Jacket.

Luke Skywalker is a whiny little B*

Immediate loss of respect for the vertical video.

Are we really talking about drafting a guy who was only the third leading rusher on his college team (and worse YPC than the other 2 as well) in the first round? Really? Seriously? I don't care how good he supposedly is, if he was that good he would have led his team in rushing or at worst be a close second. I mean, this is no Thurman and Barry situation.

Trial by "a jury of your peers" is stupid. We expect all people to be able to interpret and apply rules of law (including the ones of below average intelligence), yet you have to go to undergrad, law school, and pass the bar exam to be able to practice law, but any Joe Schmo can be put on a jury to interpret and apply complicated nuances of law that could lead to you being put in jail. Not good, not good at all. Political parties should be banned. As George Washington so gracefully predicted in his farewell address regarding them: "All obstructions to the execution of the laws, all combinations and associations, under whatever plausible character, with the real design to direct, control, counteract, or awe the regular deliberation and action of the constituted authorities, are destructive of this fundamental principle, and of fatal tendency. They serve to organize faction, to give it an artificial and extraordinary force; to put, in the place of the delegated will of the nation the will of a party, often a small but artful and enterprising minority of the community; and, according to the alternate triumphs of different parties, to make the public administration the mirror of the ill-concerted and incongruous projects of faction, rather than the organ of consistent and wholesome plans digested by common counsels and modified by mutual interests. However combinations or associations of the above description may now and then answer popular ends, they are likely, in the course of time and things, to become potent engines, by which cunning, ambitious, and unprincipled men will be enabled to subvert the power of the people and to usurp for themselves the reins of government, destroying afterwards the very engines which have lifted them to unjust dominion."

Elmo's cajun are the best wings I've had in town.

Actually, I would go so far as to say a prudent exec doesn't drink at all with their employees, maybe one or two at the most so they don't seem like pretentious jerks, but that's all.

It was a very high risk, high reward kind of defense. Top 10 in takeaways, number 2 in sacks....but a ton of yards to go with it.

ESPN listing sexy Rexy as a possible candidate to replace him. Andy Reid can't be that dumb, can he?

Meanwhile, the Patriots have quietly started beating people with their power running game and passes to halfbacks.

Yeah, I know there are laws against it. But they need reforming. In the example you post, there are no punitive consequences, only actual damages. Attorney's should be fined, put on probation or even disbarred if they continuously file these suits. Typically, if there is a law in the state, it is very difficult to find an attorney has broken them and the consequences are light.

Patriots 6 penalties for 61 yards Chiefs 4 penalties for 28 yards. Nice try though. Deflated balls are easier to secure.

This country really needs to reform the laws regarding filing of frivolous lawsuits. Until the attorney's are punished for it (financially most likely), crap like this will continue to happen.

We have the exact same taste. I'd add that I think Chappelle is hilarious too. And I loved that Rod Man from last comic standing, kind of faded out though. I always felt that Sam Kinison was overrated. Its funny for a few minutes, but gets old really quick to me.

Interesting. Every once in a while ESPN still does some actual journalistic reporting, this is one of those occasions. I think there has to be some inherent risk here on the parts of the athletes. The level of their extreme compensation in comparison to the rest of the normal population should inherently cover some of those risk IMO.
