This probably applies more to a slightly older age group, but please don't argue with the umpires vociferously. I umpired little league for a couple summers, and nothing is worse for the kids than the coach screaming at the ump (and it happens more than you probably think). Some of the kids react by imitating the coach and getting real mad...most of the kids just get really nervous. In any case, pretty much everybody stops having fun when this happens.

I'm glad McNabb went to a division rival. I hope the Eagles go something like 4-12 next season and have to watch McNabb destroy them twice. Is he the most underappreciated by the home-crowd athlete of all time? I can only imagine if Trent Edwards led the Bills to 5 AFC Championship games and a Superbowl. Sure, we'd all be disappointed that they never won but the man himself would be revered like a demi-god (see Kelly, Jim). I don't think I'll ever understand why Philly fans always loathed McNabb so much.

There is no difference. Which is exactly why marijuana should be legal. Both are bad habits, but government shouldn't be in the business of telling us which bad habits are ok or not ok. I wouldn't encourage people to do either, but marijuana is probably less viscious. Easier to be a recreational user without getting hooked.

Have you been to the Pirates new house, PNC Park? I went a couple seasons ago for an interleague game against the Yanks. Most gorgeous stadium I've been to in my life. Too bad the Buccos have to play there.

Bills and Pirates? Ouch.

I'm not going to apologize for being a Yankees fan from Buffalo. My Dad and his family grew up around NYC as huge Yankees fans, before he moved to Buffalo for work. I've been decked out in Yankees attire since I was born and raised to be a fan. I consider it part of my family tradition even if we're not planted in the NYC region. I became a real fan as a 6 year in 1995 (in that I was actually old enough to understand the rules), and still remember the 1996 season like it was yesterday, right down to Charlie Hayes squeezing the last out. It's part of my blood, just like the Bills and the Sabres. If my hypothetical wife is alright with it, I'm naming my first son Jorge Posada Sage. I'm no bandwagoner, like you seem to imply with your post. LET'S GO YANKEES, KILL THE SOX!!!!!!

Try fresh, dry mushrooms. That's how I like them. The slimy ones out of the can are indeed disgusting. Me? I don't like most foods with a creamy consistency. Whipped cream, sour cream, mousse, yogurt, cake frosting, pudding...can't stand any of it.

Excellent point about accuracy. An excellent arm is a nice bonus, but what really counts is the ability to put the ball on target. Regarding the leadership/maturity questions, multiple sources opine that these "maturity concerns" are really nothing more than "I don't like him because he played for Notre Dame and he kinda looks like a jerk, doesn't he?". His teammates voted him captain, and they all swear by his leadership and work ethic. He led 4 game winning drives last season. That's enough for me to dismiss any unsubstantiated hokum from "draft experts" about maturity concerns.

You don't need the #1 overall pick to land your franchise QB. Just ask the Patriots, Saints, Steelers, Chargers, etc. Better yet, ask the Raiders.

Actually, the Statue of Liberty acts as an anchor for the entire New York Metropolitan Area.

George, I can tell you're an upstanding American citizen like me. I look forward to the day when our ranks can finally destroy the liberal scum.

The only movies I see in theatres are ones that I believe a tv/computer screen won't do justice. My last 3 have been Avatar (not worth it), Quantum of Solace (not worth it), and Dark Knight (worth it). Even then, I don't bother with the IMAX or 3D nonsense.

Yeah, they did actually. Butler didn't get disheartened when Cuse went ahead 54-50...they made the clutch shots when they had to, and shut down Syracuse's offense at the end of the game. That's a formula for a winning, and nobody seems to know the formula better than the Bulldogs, who are winners of 23 consecutive. Butler won that game. My school, Cornell, also got bounced today by Kentucky so I know how you feel. I'm choosing to reflect on an excellent season, and not dwell on the final loss. Syracuse made the Sweet Sixteen. Hundreds of programs don't get to say that this year. The Orange (just like my Red) had a spectacular ride of a season and really have nothing to be ashamed about, when the dust settles.

I might disagree here. If Cornell wins, it might very well be because Kentucky lets it slide away. Coach Calipari has even admitted that one of his team's problems is that they have an annoying habit of underestimating seemingly easy opposition. Kentucky starts three freshmen. Cornell starts four seniors, and has a couple more reliable seniors as their first guys off the bench. In terms of maturity and experience, the Big Red have a colossal advantage. But Kentucky has the same advantage in athleticism and pure basketball acumen. We'll see how it all plays out. The smart money is on Kentucky, but don't count out Cornell just yet. Even if they don't play the perfect game.

Sweet Sixteen baby!!! Do they have the firepower to challenge Kentucky? I guess we'll see. Earlier in the season, the Big Red took Kansas to the brink, leading with 49 seconds to go and ultimately losing 71-66. An upset would not be as ridiculous as some might think.

You guys are idiots. Tebow will never make it as a quarterback in the NFL.

I crossed over one of the bridges about 10 minutes after the latest body was discovered. It was surreal. Out of all the ways to kill yourself...

Except there was no sexual abuse. Consensual incest is one of the creepiest things I can think of, especially having a sister myself. But is it truly "wrong" on a moral level?

Cornell dominates Temple 78-65 (and it wasn't even that close) in the first round of the tourney. Wisconsin or Wofford up next. First ever postseason win for the program. Cornell also improves to 4-0 over the superb Atlantic 10 conference this year. Can I get some love for the Red?

So he was 16 and she was 15, and the sex was consensual. Do both parties get slapped with the sex offender label because it was incest, or is it just him because he was the older party? In any case, it wasn't a violent crime and his sister might be just as responsible as him. Weird sh*t to be sure, but compared to all the cokeheads and wife-beaters in pro sports today this is actually small potatoes.

Yeah, but we're not gambling very much.

Tanking games is for testicle-impaired losers. For all the losing the Bills have done, I've never caught a whiff they were doing it on purpose or giving up on a season. That's probably the point where I'd stop rooting for the franchise until a new regime was put in place.

The Buffalo Bills: Not as bad as you think! But still not good.

I think Dwan might have scurvy. He keeps asking for Lemon.
