  1. Of course not, this is the most important thing you've ever done or ever will do in your life, just sayin.
  2. Peoples Court is what I like. They explain the law and Judge Millian is intelligent and has a good sense of humor. Judge Judy comes off as someone who was raised with a silver spoon in her mouth. There are a lot times she's said things don't make sense when they make complete sense to me. JMO
  3. What he said! Jackass!!
  4. I said that I was part of the problem.
  5. Was this a wet dream?
  6. When you said "Guilty Pleasure" I thought it was something you had re-discovered.
  7. WHAT? WHAT? SPEAK UP! I'M HARD OF READING.
  8. Ummmm, isn't it her job to know who the athletes are and what country they represent? I don't blame the guy.
  9. I've been thinking about the whole Tiger Woods thing going on and how a lot of people believe he needs to apologize when he speaks today. I don't think he does and I'll tell you why. This is something that, IMO, should have been kept in private between him and his family. The report should have been about the accident and nothing else. He didn't cheat on the public, he was not lying to the public. He was being handled by professionals who created a squeaky clean image. They did this because in today's society they have to. It seems to me that almost everybody reading this, and myself, could have two books written about them. One book would make us look like a saints and another would make us look horrible. Most of us have done things we aren't proud of and things we are, focus primarily on either and the mind of the reader is swayed. There is a famous celebrity that was known for hanging around some unsavory characters and being hard to work with and nasty to some people. However, that same celebrity paid all of his friends hospital bills after he was in a car accident and he worked with charities and that celebrity was also a big tipper. (If you've ever had a job that gets tips you know why that's important.) It seems to me that if somebody does a crime then they are fair game. Crimes are reported in the media all of the time and they should be, IMO, but imagine waking up one morning to find out that a private family matter has been splashed all over the newspaper and websites and was being discussed on talk shows ad nauseam. Your friends were reading about it, your kids were being asked about it, people on the streets were looking at you funny and some try to offer advice on something they don't know the whole story behind. The people who are told about a certain person's problems should be decided by that certain person. If their friends betray them then it's not their fault. I have to admit that I'm part of this problem. When I hear on the TV or radio that such and such celebrity is getting divorced I want to know why. Should I? No, it's none of my damn business but I do. I'll stay tuned to find out why and thereby contribute my household to the ratings and create the market for more of the stuff. It is my fault but it's also the media's fault. Public executions would probably get ratings large enough to make them profitable, but should TV stations show them? They haven't crossed that moral line yet. So when Tiger Woods speaks today I don't want him to apologize. He doesn't need to. The only people he needs to apologize to are his family members. IMO, the media and I should apologize to him. "I'm very sorry Tiger for publishing the salacious details of your life so your kids and family will always be able to look on the internet and read in great detail about all of this. We never should have paid attention to any of the women coming forward to talk about your sex life and your very private family problems. Not only is it none of our business but we have helped these women make money for selling what might be true things about you, so the next time this happens to someone the leeches will come out of the woodwork again." "Tiger I'd like to apologize too. I shouldn't watch these shows, it's none of my damn business. I do wonder though if before all of this happened if you had any interest in anyone else being put under the microscope by the media. If so then you're a part of the problem too."
  10. Why did you post that twice?
  11. Why did you post that twice?
  12. That's what she said. That's what she said. That's what she said. That's what she said.
  13. You should be permanently banned for that comment!! Here's another list of 2010 FA's. 2010 Class of Unrestricted Free Agents The re-signing of Raiders kicker Sebastian Janikowski and Titans guard Eugene Amano, who were scheduled to be unrestricted free agents next month, has prompted a number of inquiries regarding which other veterans have at least six credited seasons and have a contract that is due to expire. These players will be free to sign with another club in an uncapped 2010 season starting March 5. There currently are 235 veterans who are scheduled to be unrestricted free agents on March 5. We will continue to update the below list as signings occur:
  14. Everything he said. I'm also cautiously optimistic. In the past I've been willing to fully support the moves by the team. I'm hoping that my cautious optimism will be rewarded.
  15. I don't think anyone can tell much about him from his time so far. He didn't play much his first season and last year he suffered a back injury that I believe hurt him whenever he played. The question to me is if he can stay healthy. If he can he has some potential. LT? Maybe not but with Butler retiring he may be worked in at RT with the possibility of swinging to LT at a later time. The Bills need depth at both tackle positions so they need to get at least one more stud tackle. Let Bell compete and the best two start. JMO
  16. The 25 weirdest animals. Oddly, the Steerball isn't one of them.
  17. A blobfish looks like some fat, drunken judge and may be highly intelligent. And therefore quite dangerous. It frowns. It leers. Sometimes, it even drools. That's always how I've pictured DCTom.
  18. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/03/m...s_n_447340.html This is funny. NSFW BAD LANGUAGE
  19. It's odd that it would have to be pointed out that OL do more than run block. It should be common knowledge of any fan after watching the first quarter of their first game.
  20. Excellent point!!! This goes waaaaayyyy beyond disturbing, and enters into the real realm of "Big Brother". There have been many metaphorical uses of "Big Brother" but this is a literal one. If anyone has ever read 1984 they should remember that the main character has a TV like device that lets him see people and people see him. It is used by the government to spy on the citizens. The difference here is that the school district was doing it secretly while everybody knew "Big Brother" was doing it. I hope they do find some pictures that would enter into the realm of child porn so their asses would end up in prison for a long, long time. JMO
  21. Interview with Jim Boeheim; JB: (excerpted) So if they did expand where you had a first round where say 32 teams get by and the next 64 played you would end up with 64 of the best teams. Right now you don't really have that. You have some teams that slip in because of the first round that aren't in the top 64 teams in the country. But I think if you do it one weekend and you'd be down to 64 teams, it would be an expansion that covered everybody. Those people that say the 97th team would be upset, I don't think so because their record would be like 17-16, so I think now you have teams 23-8, 22-8, 21-9 that are going to be out of the Tournament.

  22. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/foot....html?eref=sihp The rookie salary pool -- which previously functioned as a salary cap for first-year players under the NFL's soon-to-expire overall salary cap -- could have been dropped at the league's behest in an uncapped year, as the CBA stipulated. But the league decided to retain the rookie salary pool for 2010, even though it hopes any new CBA negotiations will address what it believes are the inequities of its rookie salary structure.
