  1. I don't believe you know what the word consensus means: Consensus: a : general agreement : unanimity <the consensus of their opinion, based on reports Russ Lande, Cossell, two of the more respected evaluators disagree. Therefore making your statement a bunch of poppy rooster.
  2. Not the smoothest I've ever seen. And in regards to Jaworksi, I can't speak to what he was saying since I didn't see the comparison he was making, but I respect his opinion and I would venture to guess whatever point he was trying to make, was a salient one.
  3. I watched the entire video, Nassib looked good. One of those interceptions was all on his WR stumbling, and he had multiple passes that were dropped. Looked good to me.
  4. Life Expectancy of this thread 3 2 1
  5. I'd have to agree. I don't believe a lame duck GM would shun the new HC's first choice selection, specially considering he's seen the kid more than just about anyone.
  6. Reason is not automatic
  7. You'd have to be one dumb dude to tweet this out right before the draft.
  8. Some of you guys are a real hoot.
  9. 31 is not old for the average durable LB.
  10. I couldn't disagree more.
  11. mmmm, I wouldn't say you are a victim of the "liberal media". Product? Maybe
  12. Awesome! I've been hoping for this ever since he was released. I would guess, assuming his body holds up, that he has at least 2-3 good years left.
  13. I've generally found that it is nearly impossible to reason with conspiracists. I've recently and very briefly been engaged by a few of them regarding this topic, and they were entirely devoid of rationalization and would not accept supposed physical evidence that didn't fit their views. It's useless. Which reminds me of one of my favorite quotes 'Reason is not automatic. Those who deny it cannot be conquered by it. Do not count on them. Leave them alone.'
  14. This could very well be the case. I would expect Buffalo to pick a Qb with the #8 selection. The Mingo talk coming from their camp could be a smokescreen to target one of the QB's that we desire. Probably Nassib.
  15. From the National Journal: Hardly a bastion of right wing news. http://www.nationaljournal.com/columns/against-the-grain/how-obama-misread-the-politics-of-gun-control-20130418
  16. That's what their findings show.... Are you this mind numbingly thick-headed to where you can't see the difference between differences of each studies findings? I already know the answer, and let's just say you aren't the most intuitive person on this message board. The only thing that they could demonstrably cite to support a portion their thesis was the error in the spreadsheet. Which they have already stated doesn't change the dynamics hy all that much. The other main central point they make is debatable. Which is that they argue that certain data points are weighted too heavily. Which means nothing to me. Basically it's whose weighting do you believe, mine or yours? And of course R & R has much more credibility than these unknowns who happened to find a spread sheet error. Even after all their studies, they concede that higher debt does impact growth, which was the main point that R & R was making.
  17. This is what we call revisionist history. I specifically remember telling you that the closures that you and Lybob were citing was nothing unusual. You both disagreed. That's what happened.
  18. I was commenting to your most recent observation. Which was that the economy from your view was "picking up steam". Also, You said that there were big problems with refinery utilization rates, I told you it wasn't anything that what we typically see every year or two, you disagreed. Now we see that refinery utilization rates are at or near record highs, which pretty much negates everything you said about that particular topic. In regards to the second half of the year. I don't know, we'll see.
  19. You mean an economist has a differing view than that of R and R? Thanks
  20. Let's see here: Huh, 16 year low for gasoline demand. And TPS says that the economy has been picking up steam.... Boy were you off. I seem to remember telling TPS that those refinery shutdowns that he was crowing about earlier were quite normal, of course he disagreed, and of course he was wrong. Here we are at the "highest level ever reported by the EIA" for refining capacity. http://www.cnbc.com/id/100650912 Just like I've made the point, the equation for inflation is both monetary and about real demand. Right now, China is not growing as fast as many economists had hoped, and that is leading to a huge temporary sell off in commodities, and despite TPS' woefully inaccurate claim that the economy is "picking up steam", we are seeing a slowdown here domestically as well. Oil and commodities will find a bottom some time here soon, unless of course the global and domestic economy continues to weaken. Having said all that, in regards to metals, we've seen similar shake outs like this. Usually the pattern of the metals markets is to make a huge spike every two years, the following years it corrects and forms a baseline, only to take off again for a new push. Will that happen moving forward? I don't know, I haven't kept up with it nearly the way I use to, so I really couldn't say. I
  21. You do realize that this link says absolutely nothing, don't you? What a waste of time, thanks TPS
  22. If he had taken on his own base (Hollywood), and made an honest attempt for a comprehensive bill that would of included mental health, some sort of violence provisions along with the background checks, he would of been able to get the bill through. Rather than do that, what the left did was verbally focus exclusively on gun control, which of course caused the natural reaction of guns rights advocates to entrench themselves with their positions. A missed opportunity.
  23. Read more: http://www.politico.com/story/2013/04/max-baucus-worried-about-health-law-train-wreck-90215.html#ixzz2QkZWV3DV Me thinks that Senator Baucus is trying to distance himself from Mr. O's health insurance law.
