this country sucks

The Jets have a good young QB while not Peyton, and has had some issues, has already shown he can be successful. The Jets have MUCH bigger needs than QB.

Thats probably true. sadly. Again...the "everyone wins" mentality. I formulated this opinion based on one thing....the week after that Rutgers kid pitched himself off the GW Bridge and "bullying" and "being outed" was blamed for it, I found myself on the walkway for that bridge and took a look down. I couldnt help but think NO WAY this kid lept off this thing solely becuase a few dorm mates made fun of him becuase he was gay. Especially in this day and age where homosexuality doesnt hold one ounce the stigma it did even 25 years ago, especially for college kids. These kids have something else going on and something else wrong with them.Shoehorning "bullying" in as "the problem", that if suddenly, magically done away will stop these kids from killing themselves, is extremely short-sighted and naive.

"Rich" as defined by OWS and the new Left: Anyone with more than me.

Yes, Countrywide's lending practices had a part in the crisis. Thanks for stating the obvious.

PERFECT TIMING... Just days before Christmas, the Obama administration gave Bank of America a big lump of coal, levying a hefty $335 million dollar fine on the company for discriminating against minorities in its lending practices. Supposedly Countrywide, a mortgage company bought by Bank of America in 2008, had not given out enough low interest rate loans to minorities from 2004 to 2008.

Or the guy sitting next to him with a gun in one hand and a bottle of moonshine in the other, screaming at the driver "DRINK THIS!!!!!!"

You would say that........friggin Deadheads and their mailorder nonsense. I keed, I keed. The day I got over the conveneince fee thing was the first time I scored tickets to a show by sauntering up to my PC in my pajamas at five minutes to nine and having tix in hand six minutes later. Dont get me wrong....I agree that Ticketmonsters rates are obnoxious...but they ARE providing a service that has value. Same thing with a lot of these conveneince fees. People whining over airline ones bug me the most. People DEMANDED the airlines lower their fees to a few hundred bucks, even for a cross country trip. Airlines get nickel and dimed down to five bucks on airfares...but then consumers get pissy when they have to pay for stuff a la carte? You cant have it both ways, folks.

$50 parking.....lol

Well, if you dont want to pay a conveninece fee for a concert ticket, we can go back to waiting on line outside some deli with a Tickemaster machine at midnight until tickets go on sale at 9AM the next day. Or God forbid....you have to drive to the box office! Oh...the horror!!!!

I gotta bring this up...need to vent.....another kid offed herself in NYC becuase she was "bullied." And of course, there is the hue and cry about how these "monsters" should be locked up for driving this girl to her death. bull ****. UNLESS these kids did something to terrible, so vile, I cant see how being "bullied" can drive one to kill yourself. You get made fun of on Facebook and your response is to jump in front of a bus? Or youre outed....in college....to about ten people and you pitch yourself off the GW Bridge? Look....suicide is sno laughing matter and kids endure some serious ****. I get it. But I cannot help but think that if you are triggered to kill yourself becuase a few people "made fun of you" there may be deeper issues at play. And I FIRMLY think the root of a lot of those issues are how we coddle our children.

The funny thing is....the kids are gonna take classes like this for a gazillion bucks a credit, amass student loans on par with a mortgage...NOT be able to get a job.... and then you know whose "fault" it is? Wall Street's. And Bush's.

If preferring to go for better character players who are not me-first selfish asses doing NOTHING but bringing negative headlines to the team is "dumb logic", I fear what you think SMART logic is. OH PLEASE. First of all, all this talk is in the context of his football game and how he does it. Ive never met the man personally and have nothing to say about that. And lots of this can be considered personal becuase JOHNSON MADE IT SO with his tweets and his talk and all the other antics. He SCREAMS "LOOK AT ME!!!!!"..."REACT TO ME!!!" But now when people do just that, youre going to say its bad? And Second of all, go look back at the posts in this very thread and then lets talk about "name calling" and "attacks" and who needs to "grow up."

You again put words in my mouth. I did not say those elite players had to win Championships. I said they had to produce on a high level. That can be at any point during the game schedule. I most certainly have not been proven wrong because the supporting material you brought to the table to counter my argument is not relevant in the least. When I say "ten cent head" I mean the type of player with ability and a primadonna attitude, but have never produced when the game is on the line to back up the big talk and other antics. Get it now?

All these folks saying that the Bills cannot afford to lose SJ. Im sorry...what is their record of success WITH him?

Wait a second...Stevie does A LOT more than just "celebrating" his TDs. You are misrepresenting the facts to move the argument in your favor. Hes a major disruption ON the field and off it. EACH of the athletes you use as examples, while they have had issues, did one other thing. Win. Produce. They were Hall of Fame level players...all time greats. Heck...look no further than Bruce Smith. He could be the BIGGEST PITA around. Total primadonna. Loudmouth. And selfish at times too. But oh yeah....hes also one of the best players of all time. That little thing. So these types of players...the Rodman's Smith's and Roses DO NOT belong is this discussion becuase no matter how crazy they were, no matter what color they dyed their hair, from the jump ball, or the first pitch or the kickoff they produced on the HIGHEST of levels. Johnson has some good stats and lots of ability, but has NEVER EVER shown he can perform on that high level. Yet there he is still pulling the look at me selfish crap that those other athletes do...but without that other thing that allows them to get away with it....production when it counts. So I guess it boils down to this...... You wanna act like a primadonna? Fine. But first....EARN THE RIGHT TO DO SO. Stevie hasnt done that....not even close.

Those are all TERRIBLE examples becuase when it came to crunch time, ALL those althletes stepped up. They had issues, but they got the job done. Wake me the FIRST time Stevie does. Pete Rose compared to Stevie Johnson? Please. Rose would beat the **** out of Stevie if he coached or played with him and saw him pulling crap like he did today.

You mean the WR who got bounced from an elite franchise for being such a headcase and the Giants picked him up on a whim, then did two years in jail for that fiasco and is now pretty much a journeyman?

Million Dollar Body....ten cent head. Players with ten cent heads win Championships.....NEVER. Bye Stevie....dont forget to pack up your Sharpies and Twitter feed when you leave.

Garbage. They dont deserve two words. Im only giving one.

Winner Winner,Chicken Dinner.

I have no use for guys like SJ. Let him take his immature "me me me" antics somewhere else.

Wait....Johnson made it about him again, huh? Real winner that guy. Has his head in the right place. Sign him up!!!!
