Saints: Criminal Conspiracy?
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to Mr. WEO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
FWIW: http://law.justia.com/codes/louisiana/2011/rs/title14/rs14-26/ For an overview of various circumstances in which courts have considered whether sports violence is legally actionable (in either a civil or criminal case), see: http://sportslaw.uslegal.com/sports-violence/ -
Saints: Criminal Conspiracy?
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to Mr. WEO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I haven't bothered to look up whether the RICO conspiracy statute has been amended, or if the courts have changed their interpretation of it, but here's what one federal appeals court said in 1997 about what the government must prove to make out a RICO conspiracy case: http://www.cadc.uscourts.gov/internet/opinions.nsf/55087F3B51C2F08C85256F120065D7D8/$file/95-3157a.txt Sounds to me like your "friend of a drug driver" example is way off base. But then again, I have never claimed to have any particular education or work experience here, and may not be a "pretty informed dude." -

You should be happy with the newest revision to the overtime rules: Finally an OT rule for the fans -

No reason to think a military research lab would consider using a "fire-fighting" robot for any other purpose: http://www.wired.com/dangerroom/2007/09/robosoldiers-hi/#previouspost When the Navy starts arming their hydrogen-powered robotic jellyfish, don't say you weren't warned! http://news.cnet.com/8301-13639_3-57401801-42/robojelly-hydrogen-powered-robot-jellyfish-is-squishy-awesome/?tag=mncol;txt

Trying to cut costs on TV programming
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to John from Riverside's topic in Off the Wall Archives
To the OP: I had NFL Rewind for the first time last season - - if you have a fast enough Internet connection the picture is HD. You can check picture quality for your particular Internet connection by signing up for the preseason package - - price declines as you get closer to the regular season. I signed up for something like $5 when there was only 1 preseason game left just to check my video quality at home. If it's fast enough to get acceptable picture quality, you can then sign up for the whole regular NFL season for about $40. And if you want to stream Internet video to your TV so you can watch on a bigger screen, several options are explained here: http://www.dailyfinance.com/2011/02/22/savings-experiment-cutting-the-cord-on-cable-tvs-pricey-bill/?ncid=txtlnkusdail00000004 Good luck. -
I think some nerd must have gotten a federal grant to build his own Terminator prototype. Either that, or SkyNet sent it back in time to kill Sarah Conner. Check out the sketch from the US Naval Research Laboratory here: http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/13/tech/innovation/robot-fire-us-navy/index.html The thing needs to throw grenades to fight fires?

http://www.cnn.com/2012/03/26/tech/innovation/ska-telescope/index.html?iref=obnetwork Gets its name not from the ground area on which the dishes will be placed, but from the collective surface area of the dishes combined! Wonder if SETI will get any time on the array?

Interesting question. There have only been 35 left-handed QBs in the history of the NFL according to this (don't know if it's true): http://www.footballnation.com/content/steve-young-tops-list-nfls-greatest-left-handed-quarterbacks/11506/ and I'm sure many of them were obscure. I don't have an answer to your question, but here's a list of prominent lefty QBs - - maybe somebody who followed their careers closely would know what sort of OL adjustments, if any, were made because of their left handedness when they took over from their presumably right-handed predecessors: 1. Steve Young 2. Boomer Esiason 3. Mark Brunell 4. Scott Mitchell 5. Kenny Stabler IIRC, Brunell was on the Jets roster in 2010 and 2011, so the Jets have dealt with a left handed backup QB recently.

It's debatable whether the human eye can detect the improved resolution of a 4k screen for typical screen sizes and viewing distances: http://carltonbale.com/1080p-does-matter -
While there are exceptions to every rule, I think this is generally true. I'm not into fantasy football, but the following article has some pretty interesting tables showing receiver stats for guys drafted from 1998 through 2008 for their first four years in the league (only 3 for the 2008 draftees): http://www.footballdocs.com/WR_three_year_rule.html Ignore the fantasy football advice and and just look at the data tables - - while we might get lucky and draft a receiver who is an immediate stud, it's more likely that any WR we draft will take a few years to blossom. Just my 2 lira.

starting a sentence with "so"
ICanSleepWhenI'mDead replied to birdog1960's topic in Off the Wall Archives
I suppose you could have just got up and said "so long" - - but since you stayed at the conference, maybe your annoyance level was only so-so. -

It appears that Tebow's first conversation with Rex Ryan has started him down that path: Tebow'sfirstchatwithRyan -

In the spirit of the original post - - a list of pros for Tebow: -
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/03/13/buried-spacecraft-found-austria-_n_1341622.html The whole thing seems fishy to me - - I think the "farmer" was an alien posing as a farmer to escape detection by our primitive technology - - what earthling names his cat Murlimann Knoglinger? You have to be alien to even pronounce it.
