It means I don't think you understand the necessity for this extent of punishment. The buck has to stop somewhere and Goodell is doing it: This post sums it all up nicely.

The Other Side of the Pillow

The evolution of Tony Soprano is very interesting, especially now after the shooting. i loved the episodes when he was Finnerty in the coma because they really began to delve into the Tony Soprano that only hung out deep down in his psyche. we have slowly seen some of the finnerty character come out in his life after he emerged in the coma. the finnerty self in this way somehow both represents the end for Tony but also the possibility for redemption of himself and his family from a life that as tony tells bobby in the boat about 80% of the time ends up in the clank or dead before your time. And Bianca is way too hot for stupid dumbass AJ.

yeah tony really seemed on edge about it, and pre shooting he might have taken that golf club to his head but he's a little more reticent these days to go off completely like he used to. if bobby had been anyone else than his brother-in-law and janice anyone else but his sister, he might have gone even further, but tony is different after the shooting and much more reticent to inflict the full fury of his wrath. he kind of takes out some more sh-- on bobby, punishes him, by making him kill the dude in montreal. and no, i don't think we have seen the last of thie incident. if you remember, bobby was tony's whipping boy for a lot of the show until bobby started producing and then married janice. now bobby has kicked tony's ass and tony feels somewhat threatened by it, getting older and all. so now the whipping boy has gotten the physical one up on tony at least once. lots of tables are turning so to speak and this episode was all about signaling this for the final stretch run, imo.

i've never had a problem eating pages of penthouse, but hustler is a whole other story. it completely interferes with my normal gestation patterns.

I thought Bobby was wearing latex gloves when he shot the guy. I will need to watch it again to be sure. at any rate, i don't think the drama is going to be about bobby taking the heat for the murder. i think it is going to be about the rift between him and tony; tony was always the biggest guy around who was the toughest and now he's older and weaker because of the shooting; also, bobby had never killed a guy before and now he has and he had always been somewhat of a "good" guy because of it but now his fate is completely tied to tony and the mob (as tony has a way of bringing everyone into his destiny path so to speak) i think bobby killing the guy represents the kind of rot eating away at the core of the "family" and the imminent beginning of the big downfall of the empire. At any rate, I thought it was a great episode. This episode was in a lot of ways the calm before the storm, with the bobby and tony fight the initial eruption of the end times, so to speak. The scene that really encapsulates it is when after the fight tony is sitting on the dock just staring off in to the distance. Everything is really quiet. You can hear the bell on the dock "tolling" and a duck flies behind Tony for a brief second in the frame (reference to the pilot episode). They cut to Janice saying something to the affect "i've seen this kind of sitting on the dock thing before". And you can just see the wheels turning inside tony's head. the sh-- is about to explode and hit the fan. what an eerie episode, i thought.

Which teletubby is his favorite and why?

This is going in my signature.

I mean someone that has been technically schooled in theory, classical or otherwise.

Woods will take it, imo. Betting against Woods is like betting against gravity to fail in the next fifteen minutes because Marsha Brady alien clones from the planet Zarnox arrive in giant flying pink elephant spaceships to colonize Earth for our Potassium. Also, how !@#$ing hard is Augusta National playing? Holy sh--!

I thought Thomas Hobbes destroyed democracy?

Fixed.

If you read Feith's website, you will find all sorts of interesting arguments. For example, in his "Media Myths vs. Facts" section: "MYTH #1: CIA ON IRAQ AL-QA'IDA RELATIONSHIP Is it true that my Pentagon office claimed there was an Iraq-al Qaida relationship and that the CIA had determined there was not?" Notice how he phrases this question. He of course doesn't ask, "Was there an Iraq Al Qa'ida relationship and did I directly contribute to a false assessment that there was?", he asks, "Did the CIA also ever claim there was?", the answer being, of course, that Tenet did claim such a relationship in a letter to the Senate Intelligence Committee that Feith references. What's interesting is that evidently Feith wants us to believe that his intelligence analysis capabilities consisted of reading one letter sent by Tenet and that this letter sufficed as proper in depth documentation and analysis of whatever intelligence Tenet claimed to be referencing in the letter. So Feith, in his opinion, is essentially not at fault because Tenet !@#$ed up also and everyone else also took Tenet at his word. Interesting (but I guess the only) tact to take to defend one's self in the face of an almost indefensible situation. I recommend taking a look at his website for further interesting Feith-based info: http://www.dougfeith.com/facts_1.html

Arrington was drafted in the 2nd round, FWIW....

This is an interesting argument and a compelling one, i think, the only chink in it being that as already posted that the backs you mentioned were all not 1st round rated backs. One could also argue that Lynch's familarity with a pro style offense and thriving in it would lend him to a fit a pro style offense in the NFL. I'm don't really buy that as a huge selling point, however. In the end, I don't think I would take him at 12 but I think I might be able to be convinced of it if someone put up a compelling enough argument.

Jabari sounds like a pretty stand up guy. Good for him.

This joke never gets old

Some might say that because you consider them a sinner, that you are rendering a judgment on them, which is in essence believing that you have some sort of knowledge or special perspective from which to judge them as such. Just because you consider yourself a "sinner", in this case, would not give you any special dispensation from which to judge others as "sinners". Some people find this to be disconcerting and presumptious, for what it's worth....
