  1. Just saw this.

     

    I am a Mets fan - but grew up in a Yankees household.

     

    For this reason, I have always had a love for both teams. The Mets are "my team," but I root for the Yankees unless they're playing each other.

     

    Bobby Valentine has always been my favorite Mets manager. Hands down. Yep ... loved him even more than Davey Johnson (not much more, though).

     

    I will second the O.P.'s emotion on this one. Total dickhead move to say what he said. It's dickish to say it on ANY day. But to say it on September 11th shows a lack of class I'd never have thought I'd see out of Valentine.

     

    I don't believe Valentine is one who says anything without thought. This troubles me even more.

     

    Not that it matters to him, but I lost a ton of respect for him today.

  2. I would add that women look way worst after their forties than they used too. Yeah, yeah...so do men....

    Not sure how old you are, but I'm guessing you're not in your 40s. The only reason I say that is that nearly every person my age (42), who I knew when I was younger, looks better today than they did 15-20 years ago.

     

    Hell, I just looked at a picture of my wife and me from 1998 and BOTH of us look A LOT better today than we did then. Hands down. And she'll be 46 in November.

  3. what is the saying about coincidences?

     

    being found innocent in court doesn't exactly prove innocence. mistakes have been made. guilty go free, innocent go to jail.

     

     

    ex #1 see OJ trial.

    Christ, I can't believe I'm in PPP. But, what the hell.

     

    I will see your OJ trial, and show you a trial in which the evidence proving his guilt was overwhelming and the prosecutors fuct it all up. They left the jury with no choice; they had to find him not guilty.

     

    I will then remind you that the evidence in the Zimmerman trial showed that GZ wasn't the one looking for the fight and that he defended himself after the person looking for the fight finally found it.

     

    In the OJ trial, the prosecutors made the mistakes in their presentation of the evidence.

    In the Zimmerman case, the mistake was letting it even go to trial. The guilty party was dead.

     

    That said ... I will concede that I believe GZ is a first-class scumbag. I personally believe he is a racist. I personally believe that he probably kind of wanted to beat the crap out of this kid. But I also personally believe that he didn't pursue the fight; and that he was not guilty of murder.

     

    If every racist, scumbag, jerk was a murderer, our population would be cut in half within a week.

     

    I agree that OJ was found not guilty while being as guilty as hell.

    But GZ was found not guilty because he was innocent.

  4. You make good points.

     

    But I personally don't care about his reputation or his character. This is a football game. If he helps me win it, I'm ok with him ruining his character. It's not mine after all.

    Suh won't be helping the Lions win when he's not allowed to even practice, let alone play, with them.

     

    I'm fine with the "badass" reputation and I don't mind a player with a chip on his shoulder. But when said player's conduct is detrimental to the entire team, that's simply not worth it to me.

  5. One more thing came to mind.

     

    There seemed to be some confusion on the part of the guy who collected my money whilst pulling into Hammer's.

     

    NOTE: This was my first time at Hammer's and my first TBD Tailgate.

     

    I had very big sign in the dash that said TBD - PRIME, even with Gugny on it.

     

    I asked where the TBD tailgate was. He said, "What's TBD?" I told him "Two Bills Drive."

     

    He said, "oh, they usually set up back there (pointing to where Pinto Kenny's crew was), but you'll be backed in there, so why don't you just pull into where that guy is directing people to park (far from the tailgate).

     

    I was confused, but followed directions. Then Pinto Ken greeted us. I told him I was looking for the TBD Tailgate and he promptly told me where it was. I quickly asked the attendant who took my money if we could move the car. He let us.

     

    It all ended well, but I just wanted to bring it up.

  6. if the Agent is talking to other teams about possible trades and the bills are inquiring to the league if Tyrd's contract can be "altered" by the new team if traded....then exactly what is the difference between "requesting" and "open to it" ??

     

    Parker "hey doug, we are not asking for or demanding a trade, but why don't we both explore the possiblilty of a trade because we are not against a trade, in fact, we are open to one"

     

    got it !

    I think there is a difference.

     

    Requesting a trade = "Please find another team who wants me because I no longer want to play for the Bills."

     

    Open to a trade = "It's a business. I expect you to explore ways to make the team better; you should expect me to explore ways to make my wallet fatter. If those goals can be accomplished by me staying in Buffalo, let's do it. If they can't, we should both understand."

  7. Classy post, Beerball. We live in a great nation. There is far more good than evil.

     

    The official number of victims is 2,977.

     

    But there are hundreds of thousands of family members, friends and loved ones who continue to miss those they lost. By the grace of God, I'm not one of them. But I still feel the pain.

     

    I hope we remember those victims, both here and gone, with respect and honor today. And I hope we can all find it within ourselves to respect each other.

     

    It's the least we can do.

     

    God Bless America.

  8. So glad you got there in time to say goodbye. I felt bad not actually being able to see everyone one last time.

     

    I moved quick...got 100 yards and stayed there for 30 minutes as the idiot cops did not move anyone...at all. Then some chick comes over and asks to let her friends car out in front of me. I told her not a chance that I had 9 hours to drive. She didn't believe me until I told her to look at the plates. I was about to tell her she could flash me and I would let her but Kelly got mad at her and flipped her off and put my window up.

    This would have been great to see. Hopefully, Kelly will show a little more of that side next year! I hope she wasn't mad that I didn't shave my legs.

  9. The National Driver Registry bit me in the ass earlier this year when I went to get my motorcycle permit. Had to pay a fine from a NJ ticket I got in 1993.

     

    Anyway, just appearing will likely get it reduced to a on-moving violation. You still get fined with a court fee, but it's no point on your license/no impact on your insurance premium.

     

    Good luck.
