  1. Dont have any time for white supremecists, but General Lee is without doubt one of the greatest of American commanders and a man of impeccable character. It might be nice if reality were cut and dried, but, for better or for worse, it is complex.
  2. Unfortunately, the barbarous antics we witness today are also Moslem. To that extent Ted Cruz is right. The reason we can say that is because its really nothing new and it continous to have influence today outside of Syria. In the 13th century the House of Saud aligned itself with Wahabism and thats what allowed it to consolidate its hold on the Arabian peninsula. That partnership is still very much in place. Its also true that Moslems as conquerors, Arabs and Turks, have been much more tolerant of non-believer minorities than Christians. At the time of the real Caliphate they were also at the helm of one of the most powerful civilizing influences in human history. Arab moslems were commenting authoritatively on the works of Aristotle when Europeans were living in caves.
  3. Cold Harbour? And just for the record I think General Grant was a great man.
  4. Looks like a wig. Just what we need to make the clown show complete. A cross dressing DC.
  5. Had a great college career and first year pro - almost 800 yards. Second only to AJ Green their rookie year. Did he always have bad hands or, as Yolo suggests, the result of a Browns player "development" program?
  6. How/why did this guy fall off a cliff?
  7. No dont want him. Dont want EJ either. Taylor goes down and so does 2016.
  8. Burfict is a throwback to the days when intimidation was part of the stock in trade of defenders - Bednarik, Lane, Butkus. Not that I feel sorry for him but its sort of a shame because he is a great player who can absolutely take over a game from his position - like Ray Lewis. Imagine if he had just played the game properly - big sack of Ben, huge interception. I guess lots of linebackers are half baked.
  9. Yeah he's a saint. Guess that's why he got a game ball.
  10. If he comes betcha he'll want Vonn Bell. Dude plays like him.
  11. And that's what the refs "discretion" should be all about. JMO. People know who Pacman and Burfict are but seem to have forgotten who Porter is.
  12. All time great. Father of many other great ones.
  13. Like it. Thanks for posting.
  14. And, lest we forget, theres also Bill Romanowski
  15. Werder should mind his words. Now I feel even sorrier for the kicker.
  16. Its that old time religion as dispensed by pastors Bednarik, Lane and Butkus.
  17. Tell that to the guys manning the trenches. He didnt have to deal with an elite D. Just kick a friggen field goal that was shorter than an extra point. This guy should man up instead of pointing at his mates.
  18. I'd be surprised if he made it out of the lockerroom alive.
  19. What with yesterday lots of agony of defeat going on
  20. Bad hold. How Dan Capenteresque.
  21. Get in range we they know you are going to work the sidelines, get the FG team on the field and execute. 18 seconds is not plenty of time IMO. Its very likely not enuf.
  22. Like 18 seconds with no TOs. Not enuf to get in range and set up the FG.
  23. Trust me. They have plenty of room to ink M. Jones, and they will. We cant afford to compete for him. Sanu on the other hand should be a value target for Whaley and the Bills.
  24. If Pacman doesnt touch the ref and Peezy is flagged they are out of FG range and the game is likely over.
