Oh, while we're at it... http://www.funnyhub.com/pictures/pages/phi...son-misses.html

Another one of my all time favorite pictures http://www.americandigest.org/mt-archives/003992.php

Well, I was looking for the john kerry spacesuit picture...and came across this sight. Very interesting. http://countrystore.blogspot.com/2004_07_2...re_archive.html

I dont think anyone is defending it. I dont think anyone on this forum feels that he handled the situation properly. The only disagreement I see on here is whether this classifies him as a racist. And ya know...I really dont care. Racist or not, his words were hurtful and wrong. We dont need to label him, it serves no good. As a little aside, a good black friend of mine once told me that the reason the 'N' word is such a powerful word is because when used, it immediatly puts the person in receipt of the comment in a helpless position of inferiority. There is nothing they can say or do to dispute the connotations that word holds. They are helpess. And my friend also told me that there is a word being used against white people today that holds does the exact same thing...and that word is 'Racist'. Think how you would feel if someone called you a racist. What can you say? What can you do? How do you prove you are not? Think about how small you would feel, even though you know its not true. It is a very interesting comparison IMO. Something to think about.

It doesnt matter who picks the teams in a playoff format. You make it so that ANY undefeated team is in, and the rest shakes out. If you get left off the bubble, sorry, you lost a game. You had your chance. The problem now is that its possible to do everything everyone asked of you, win every game, and not get a chance to prove you are the best at what you do.

I dont watch college football, hardly at all. I watched a couple games the last few weeks when they had national championship implications...frankly, I probably wont watch another game until the BCS championship game. I might watch a bowl game on new years day, because its the thing to do, but I dont much care. Funny how the NFL can get me to watch Cleveland playing Oakland, yet I have no interest in a Notre Dame/Michigan game. Its not the game I hate. Its the NCAA and the way its run that I cant stand. Until an 11-0 boise state team gets a CHANCE to play for the title, I want nothing to do with it.

best thread ever

Been sayin it for years. Dont understand why they dont do it. I would give each current BCS conference an autobid. Big 10, ACC, SEC, Big East, Pac 10, Big 12 Each send 1 team. They can decide it however they want, but they get 1 auto bid. Then have 4 at large Bids. These at large bids go to any undefeated team who played at least 11 games vs. D1A opponents and 2 wins over a BCS confernce team, and the top ranked teams in the coaches poll to fill out the spots This might also force Notre Dame to join a damn conference. For the record, my BCS would look like this: Big East - West Virginia Big 10 - Ohio State Big 12 - Texas ACC - Georgia Tech SEC - Florida Pac10 - USC At Large #1 - Michigan At Large #2 - Notre Dame At Large #3 - Arkansas At Large #4 - Boise St Week 1: Michigan vs Boise State (Wildcard Game) Arkansas vs. Notre Dame (Wildcard Game) Re-Rank 1-8 (Assume Notre Dame and Michigan win) (My guesses) 1. Ohio State 2. USC 3. Michigan 4. Florida 5. Notre Dame 6. Arkansas 7. Texas 8. Georgia Tech Week 2: Ohio State vs. Georgia Tech(Rose Bowl) USC vs. Texas (Cotton Bowl) Michigan vs Arkansas (Sugar Bowl) Florida vs. Notre Dame (Fiesta Bowl) Week 3: Ohio State/GT vs. Florida/ND USC/Texas vs. Michigan/Arkansas Week 4: OSU/GT/FLA/ND vs. USC/TEX/MICH/ARK Peice of Cake. You ADD 4 big time nationally covered games. Championship game will be bigger than the superbowl. Notre Dame might join a conferene because a) they will always need to play in the wildcard game if they make the playoffs and b) They might get left out of the dance entirely even if ranked in the top 10.

I was post #19 and only one person mentioned him (and only by his last name). Didnt want to start a trend!

Wow, Kramer went off... I need to hear what these guys were saying earlier, but I suspect that a) Kramer is an idiot, there is no reason to go off like that b) These guys in the audience said some pretty bad stuff to provoke him c) Kramer will enter a rehab clinic in less than 48 hours.

Saw that during SNF. Didnt know that was the case, but it definatly doesnt suprise me

Brutal? We should be able to beat Miami, Tennesee, and the Jets. Baltimore might be resting week 17. And 4 of the 6 remaining games are at home! Next 2 weeks will define this season. If we can pick up a win next week, I dont think 9-7 is out of the question. perhaps this is some unwarranted optimism based on todays game, but assuming the light went on today, I would put even money that we finish 8-8 or better.

It seems to be a trend that the 7th rounders from last year are outperforming the first rounders.

Family Guy is on....Pause the game, watch family guy...go back and skip all comercials.

Tom Brady, Lee Evans and Chad Johnson were enough to overcome the loss of colston and Kevin Jones in one league... In the other league...eh, I still need some points from Tiki Barber and Rivers, but its looking like Roy Williams, Tory Holt and Alge crumpler might do me in.

It was a good game, but in the overall big picture...its just a week 11 regular season game for a team the likely wont sniff a playoff shot.... will be long forgotten IMO.

Wow, no chumbawumba? I'm Hurt.

I too wouldnt mind seeing him here, but like someone else said, I dont think DT is a top priortiy for our front office at this point.

If you are going to say that the Big East is a BCS conference, then the undefeated team in that conference HAS TO go to the BCS championship game, otherwise the BCS is the most ridiculous thing to ever happen in sports (Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim notwithstanding). I posted this elsewhere, but what happens if OSU beats michigan today, USC beats OSU in the BCS Champ game, and Rutgers beats Michigan and is undefeated? Now what? Rutgers is undefeated and has beaten 4 top 10 teams, yet USC with a loss to an unranked team is national champion. Even if they dont, you cant keep on with the "they may go undefeated but it doesnt count" nonsense. They have met and exceeded expectations every single week of the season, something USC, Arkansas, Florida, Notre Dame and Either Michigan or OSU cannot say. Every test has been passed, and the tests were challaning. Rutgers (if undefeated) will have beaten 3 current top 10 teams. For the record, thats as many as Florida, USC and Notre Dame COMBINED. So until we get a playoff system, where someone will have to beat rutgers before we say they are not worthy, I refuse to buy into this BS Chapionship Game Crap. If its an 8 team playoff, so be it. Some team will be left out and crying, but so what. Chances are 99.99% of the teams outside the top 8 have at least one loss. And since they do, they lost their claim to the national championship game with that loss. 6 or 7 teams may get a second chance, but its a world of difference if you have one loss and get left out, than if you have zero losses and get left out. When will the NCAA wake up and realize how much money they are LOSING with the current system

I dont care who wins...In my mind, there are 3 games left this season I care about. 1) Rutgers beating WVU 2) Winner of todays game losing to USC in the BCS Champ game 3) Loser of todays game also losing to Rutgers In that scenario, Rutgers is undefeated after beating Michigan or OSU. USC is national champion with one loss. Ahh..the chaos! I love it.

I really cant say that the advantage of picking 3rd vice 11th or 12th is worth intentionally dropping games....

Im not really disagreeing with you. However, there is just not enough information in this peice for me to form a real opinion on this topic. Who was the money given to? If it was a city managed project, yes the city needs to ensure the project is done up to city codes. If the money was given to some third party orgainzation, they mayor probably has a point. Their hands are probably tied. There is little more they can do other than throw more money at the problem. I just need more information before I can go off the deep end here. I think the mayor is basically saying "we screwed up, we cant fix it now...lets move on" To put it another way, say the government gives money to support a habitat for humanity project in their city. After the job is complete, faulty wiring causes a house to burn down. Is this the citys responsibility? Again, im not agreeing or disagreeing with you...I just need a bit more information, though I agree the goverments reaction to this issue leaves me to be quite skeptical. As for the size of government, you're not going to find anyone on this board (perhaps including youself) who wants to see the size and scope of government reduced more than I do. There is just too much waste and inefficiency. There is little the goverment can do better than private industry.

Holy cow...there is SO MUCH wrong with this story... 1) They paid 865,000 to MOVE 5 x $100,000 houses....doing the math, they paid nearly twice what the houses were worth to MOVE and repair them. 2) What mortgage lender approved these loans without a home inspection? 3) I saw nothing in this tv spot that justifies failing an inspection. Broken vanities, loose handrails and soffet do not constitute a disaster house. Not saying there isnt serious violations here, but this spot did not show them. 4) Who managed this project? I can see the city saying they are only responsible to fund the project, but clearly there was a recipient of this money, and a contract in place. Someone either botched the contract, or the recipient did not perform to their contactural obligations. Time to consult legal.

Hmm...Republicans win...corruption is everywhere. Democrats win, everything went swimmingly.... ironic?
