The first Super Bowl Big Ben won he was the statistically worst qb in all of the Super Bowls to win. On my phone so I can't link the stats. Second Super Bowl however he want the game manager and led the game winning drive including the td throw to Holmes.

Thought this fit in this thread

I apologize for not hanging around the website yesterday afternoon and this morning. You've made your point and I've made mine. I have nothing to add to what I have already said. You won't convince me that your right to own something is worth killing other people and I can't convince you that it isn't. I hope that it never comes to the day where you are forced to make the decision to fight or not. As I have repeated several times I am for gun ownership in this country I see no issue with it. I don't think guns are the issue. People are the issue. Society as a whole always needs to blame something to make themselves feel better, I don't. Sh*t happens. If Adam Lanza had it in his head that he was going to kill a bunch of kids he would have accomplished it with gun or without. The only thing I will ask is that you understand why people are reaching in the way that they are. They are searching for answers, an explanation, when there really isn't an easy one. Your guns are safe, they will not be taken away. If they are I hope that you come up with a better solution to show your dissatisfaction then killing people to do it.

I think your sarcasm meter is malfunctioning. As for the undersized comment you made earlier, 6'2" 255 is undersized?

Arrogant? What in the world......

Perfect example of this op and something that drives me crazy... Lay out for the ball!!!!! I know Fitz is inaccurate, help him out by diving to make a catch please. This is directed towards the ENTIRE receiving crew. I pointed this out to the guys I watch the games with at the beggining of the year and it was mind boggling how many more balls could have been caught if they would simply sell out and try to make a catch. That said - losing takes a huge toll on people. When you lose 1 it's okay, 2 it's not okay, 3 it's bad, 4 it sucks, 5 you're pissed, 6 self doubt creeps in, 7 doubt in your teammates, 8 apathy. When your team routinely finishes with a losing record it becomes a mindset. Which is why I was okay with the complete cleanout of the coaching staff and hope to see a lot players removed. Mike Ditka had a great quote when he took over the Bears something along the lines of - We are going to be champions unfortunately most of you won't be here when that happens.

To be completely honest I would freely give up my right to own a gun. I just don't care to own a gun. As you stated below At present, the federal government is the most powerful in the history of mankind, growing ever bigger, and increasingly involved in our day to day lives. It can easily be argued that the case for gun ownership as counter measure for tyranny has never been stronger. To me it makes it even more pointless. It is not a fight that will be won, especially by me. To say I would give up my rights at the whims of the government tell me that you think it is easy to change the Bill of Rights (see below for more on this). That said my whole issue with this thread was never gun ownership. I fully support people wishing to own a gun - it is legal and their right. My issue is with the idea that people were ready and willing to MURDER there fellow citizens. Thanks for the homework assignment teach... link In 2008 and 2010, the Supreme Court issued two landmark decisions officially establishing this interpretation. In District of Columbia v. Heller, 554 U.S. 570 (2008), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment protects an individual's right to possess a firearm, unconnected to service in a militia[1][2] and to use that arm for traditionally lawful purposes, such as self-defense within the home. In dicta, the Court listed many longstanding prohibitions and restrictions on firearms possession as being consistent with the Second Amendment.[3] In McDonald v. Chicago, 561 U.S. 3025 (2010), the Court ruled that the Second Amendment limits state and local governments to the same extent that it limits the federal government.[4] So to answer your question yes, they can. Also your rights can be changed. Not nearly as easily as a law but they can be changed: An entrenched bill of rights cannot be modified or repealed by a country's legislature through normal procedure, instead requiring a supermajority or referendum; often it is part of a country's constitution and therefore subject to special procedures applicable to constitutional amendments. I know it is uncomfortable to hear but our rights are our rights because the government says so. Not because they were god given and irrevocable. The government would never be able to change the bill of rights as it now stands which is why I don't get the whole take up arms against our police/government idea. That is the most extreme circumstance imaginable and one that a few people with "illegal" guns would have a non-existent chance at winning. The thing is though - IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. There are enough good reasons for guns to be legal that any bill outright banning guns would be shot down in a heartbeat it certainly wouldn't get the supermajority vote it would need.

That's the thing thought - they aren't revoking them. You can still own guns in NYS. They have just made modifications to what guns, ammo, attachments are allowed. When this right was given people owned muskets not ak's.

Have you ever benefited from socialized medicine? Beyond the "dregs that don't want to work or have someone else cover their ass" everyone benefits. I have been sick to the point of being intubated because I couldn't breathe on my own. Went to my physician who wouldn't take a walk in, scheduled an appt only to have him have a nurse see me, called me back in (another co pay) to say there was nothing wrong with me and I would be fine with Tylenol and Aspirin, I explained to him that it wasn't working and he rudely suggested I go to the er if it was that serious, I did and spent 3 days in the hospital. With insurance it cost me over $4,000 for just the hospital part. I didn't appreciate the private health care or paying my premiums. I also had a medical issue while on vacation in Italy. Called the doctor, got in the same day, got treatment and a couple extra vials of the medicine in case of another issue, total cost $0. My sister lives in Italy and comes home for a month in the summer, the entire time she is extremely nervous about her kids and their safety bc she doesn't have health insurance - it is unnecessary with socialized medicine. I've seen all sides of it. Have you? In my experience many (not all) doctors care about seeing as many patients as they can to bill as much as they can - not the quality of care they give. When the idea of being a "patient factory" is removed the care improves. Instead of racing patient to patient they spend time. People that are doctors are so because they want to help not because it will make them rich. Wouldn't you be happier not paying excellus, mvp, etc, it seems like my rates keep going up while the quality of coverage is going down.

As for the bolded section: OP:Perhaps it is time to refresh the tree of liberty with the blood of those who deny us our 2nd amendment rights? You: I promise to make a few of your children fatherless as a reward for your reckless tyranny. Sodbuster: it gives the public the teeth to ensure that their leaders keep their end of the bargain. when they fail to keep their end of the bargain... Fingon: If they come door to door taking guns then people will do it. Have you ever heard the expression "from my cold dead hands"? Tim: (who likened this to the wars on Afghanistan) you don't have to win an all out head to head rebellion, you just need to make a point, scramble a few eggs and you'll be eating your omlet in no time. You again: All of these rights we hold dear, every last solitary one of them, are defended by guns and the men and women willing to use them in that defense, who value the concept of freedom for their children more than they value their own lives. You again: when you come knocking on it to take away their guns, they'll give you all of their bullets first. It sure sounds like you are mentioning a war on police officers. Owning a gun is your right, when it becomes illegal it is no longer your right. At times in this country cocaine and lsd were legal. They aren't anymore. The sad part of this whole exchange is I support gun ownership. I don't support gun ownership to the point that I am willing to MURDER other people. If the government comes for your weapons and you respond by getting into a shootout with them you are a lunatic. Plain and simple. Good for you that you were able to take a few with you, now your children and their children are fatherless, that is an okay outcome for you? The thing is - they aren't coming for your weapons. Yes now certain things are illegal, that doesn't mean they are going to go door to door doing ammunition checks.

I don't think we should go the rookie route at all... I think we should try for Skelton! On a serious note: I'm firmly in the Matt Barkley camp. His junior year was absolutely amazing. He has good numbers for td:int ratio, completion %, and ypa. The teams he played on also weren't the typical USC "better talent than anyone else" squads.

Whoooosh A tyrant 5 miles away? Who in the world are you referring to? My point was those that don't remember history are doomed to repeat it doesn't apply in this case.

Do you really think that this is how they will enforce the law? Is this how they enforce any law?! Being a police officer means you serve and protect the people. Honestly I feel the need to be protected from people like you. Not gun enthusiasts but gun nuts. You are willing to kill police officers! You are willing to leave children parent less! All because their job has told them what they need to do. Police officers enforce the laws but they certainly don't make them. They also won't bring the swat team to your house because you have 8 bullets instead of 7 in your clip. Your paranoia is concerning. Yes in 1775 when faced against a king who was thousands of miles away. The second amendment does not offer up the right to kill police officers because you disagree with a law. Thoughts like this are why people can justify in their head murdering abortion doctors. If the us military had the stomach for armed assault on the american people it wouldn't last to long. People would surrender very quickly. No matter how many people had their own guns. As for Afghanistan I have no idea how a COUNTRY is relevant to a person or group fighting against the US. They have an army/armies, gun nuts don't. Again I have no issue with gun ownership in America but some of the lengths people are willing to go to protect the right to own something is disturbing to me. Yes 1775. Some interesting laws that have been on the books in the u.s.: Incestuous Marriage was legal It is considered an offense to open an umbrella on a street, for fear of spooking horses It is illegal to wear a fake moustache that causes laughter in church. Putting salt on a railroad track may be punishable by death. It is legal to drive the wrong way down a one-way street if you have a lantern attached to the front of your automobile. A person may not walk around on Sundays with an ice cream cone in his/her pocket. My point? Sometimes laws outlive their usefulness. Well good to know if we are ever overseen by an imperial nation in Europe we will be all set. This quote gets so misused We won't be running... we don't have these guns so the big scary tigers aren't going to be chasing after us.

Holy sheet! I am both disgusted and scared by your p.o.v. on this topic. I don't think you have to worry about the cops kicking your door down to come get your guns. The fact that you think this concerns me. The right to bear arms was very very important in the Bill of Rights. It help insure protection from invading countries or our own government. This was the late 1700's. Since then the U.S. Military has become the world's best, if they want to come take over your house guess what they will. However why in the world would they ever do that? Do you think another country will invade us? Our military would handle that - not you with your mini arsenal. I'm not even anti gun but your reasoning is terrible. You want to say it is to protect your family from robbers etc. fine with me and I have no issue with you. Threaten and try to reason murdering police officers?!?! This line of thinking hurts your cause waaaayyyyy more than it helps... I let it slide the first time but if you're the smartest man in the room it's upon not apon

I think this week's topped it! What an episode... is anyone watching this show?!?! The whole time Lana was walking out of Briarcliff I just kept saying (out loud) come on make it make it, and she did! Then with Thredson I thought for sure he was going to get the jump on her - glad she shot him too for some vindication. I can't believe she didn't follow through with the abortion but it looks like (for now) anyway mdbf is that child. The whole Kit thing got very confusing with ulma(sp?) sitting on the bed. Now he's got 2 "alien" babies, I honestly have no idea where they are going with this. Anyway, thoughts? Only 2 epsiodes left!

1st pass 45 yard completion (yes underthrown) 2nd pass - drop (he hit him in the numbers) 3rd pass - clear throw away This is a clip from the whole game/every pass this is not a highlight reel. This won't have him hitting every pass in just the right spot. Please tell me you watched further... edit: just noticed your sn and it all made sense

He was a quality HC at Boston College. The way he was fired was ridiculous and he had a major hand (iirc) in Matt Ryan's development. I don't think this is a bad hire and I love the Norv hire. Hopefully Cleveland will be back along with the Bills!

any updates on this?

I'm not sure why you're vitriol is aimed at me seeing as my second post was my idea for modifying it as I see it also as something that should be run differently. I will point out that you PLAN to work for 15 more years. Disability or loss of job could affect that greatly. I am happy for you that you are so well off that you have no use for this program. However what happens if you outlive your savings? What happens if your significant other passes away after a lengthy battle with something that racks up medical bills? What happens if the money you thought would be enough, isn't? You will be very happy to fall back on SS. The reality is though that many people aren't as financially well off as you are. Many in your generation will rely on it to survive. The choice without SS would be death or a serious burden on their children. Why are you so against something that will help people out? I get hating programs and spending that is wasteful but to me helping people live quality lives isn't wasteful spending. You took that from what he said?!?!? I know I don't spend much time on PPP but it amazes me that people think one person and 1/3 of the branch of government can be to blame for everything! (here is where I will open a can of worms) I like your comrade barb, it was funny, however there are SOME socialist programs that can be good and beneficial to society. Socialized medicine being #1 on that list.

I get the bias too I just don't agree with it at all. I could see if it was the same coach, I could see if all of the others were 4 year starters. This thought process has bothered me since people railed against orakpo bc he was from Texas and "Texas players are all lazy" bc mike Williams was. I give him a lot of credit for sticking through the sanction years as well and think the whole it's USC there talent is better than anyone else doesn't apply to him bc of this. The line at USC was horrendous this year. I personally think he will end up being the best of this years class but I don't know how good he will ultimately be. Last year I think he outplayed Andrew luck throughout the season. Time will tell.

I knew the op was going to be exactly what it was so I came fully prepared to post these exact thoughts. As for Barkley, he started as a true freshman which none of the other guys did. He has more experience than all of the other guys you mentioned. I think that is very important as well as that whole except for the school name nothing else ties any of those guys to each other thing.

I agree completely with both of your posts! I sat 122 (hence the user name) I believe row 32 and it was the best seats I've been in (with the exception of club seats). Even when the action is headed away from you if you spent any time playing madden it is the same view. You can see plays develop, holes open up, and pressure on the qb. Great great seats. Have to add as well that it is definitely a stand for the game and have 1 or 2 more drinks than you should have section. There were very few if any fights in our section though believe it or not

Yahoo is my default home page and usually full of mindless drivel, however every so often there are things worth while and this video is certainly that. Watch and enjoy! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVrJ8DxECbg My favorite is the kid who does a triple take and the girl who asks "am I trippin'?"

Not sure if you're just joking but the show is actually shot in LA.
