It may not be a smoke ring after all!!! Cameron Pack, a UFO investigator, said he does not accept the Kings Dominion version because a similar ring appeared in the sky at Fort Belvoir, Va., more than 50 years ago. -

According to investigators, Brown was working at the fast-food restaurant when he got upset about something and left work. How long did that take to figure out Sherlock?! -

I think they should base themselves in Africa and not kill mosquitoes. I thought it was cool that he got it on the first try! Excellent reflexes! One thing you can't say about Obama is that he wouldn't even hurt a fly.

Here's a local news report on it. Aye yi yi. "It was like a sign, God gives you signs and I just felt like that was a sign and I'm not sure what that sign meant but it meant a great deal to my family because when we got home we all got in line and prayed together. We were freaking out," Smith continued. -

It is an Unidentified Flying Object but I don't think it's a UFO in the common meaning. If it is a smoke ring it's really taking a long time to break up. -
Stallworth Suspended Indefinitely!

The question now is how are regular DUI cases going to be handled and yes it does make Marshawn's penalty for hit and run a little more interesting. I guess nobody could prove he was inebriated and it was raining really hard and there were questions on whether he saw her or not. His behavior after he learned about it was abysmal. ETA: From the article; In that letter, Goodell stated: "In the past few years, I have not hesitated to impose discipline, including suspension, on club and league employees who have violated the law relating to alcohol use. Every club should advise its employees of their obligation and our commitment to hold people accountable for alcohol-related violations of the law. "Please ensure that your employees are aware of the resources available to them, including Safe Ride and similar programs. Let's make sure that the 2009 season does not bring more tragedy or embarrassment to ourselves and our employees." -
I highly doubt a policy that covers over $5 million liability is $500 a year. I'd need to see a link for that.

pics or no pics. Stop feeding trolls!!!

I don't know anyone who could afford to lose $500 a month. If you can easily afford that then you're not hurting for money. My brothers mortgage is $600 a month. $500 a month is $6,000 a year.

Stallworth Suspended Indefinitely! Part of a long statement; "The conduct reflected in your guilty plea resulted in the tragic loss of life and was inexcusable," Goodell wrote. "While the criminal justice system has determined the legal consequences of this incident, it is my responsibility as NFL commissioner to determine appropriate league discipline for your actions, which have caused irreparable harm to the victim and his family, your club, your fellow players and the NFL." Good for him!

June 19: General Interest 1953 : Rosenbergs executed On this day in 1953, Julius and Ethel Rosenberg, who were convicted of conspiring to pass U.S. atomic secrets to the Soviets, are executed at Sing Sing Prison in Ossining, New York. Both refused to admit any wrongdoing and proclaimed their innocence right up to the time of their deaths, by the electric chair. The Rosenbergs were the first U.S. citizens to be convicted and executed for espionage during peacetime and their case remains controversial to this day. Julius Rosenberg was an engineer for the U.S. Army Signal Corps who was born in New York on May 12, 1918. His wife, born Ethel Greenglass, also in New York, on September 28, 1915, worked as a secretary. The couple met as members of the Young Communist League, married in 1939 and had two sons. Julius Rosenberg was arrested on suspicion of espionage on June 17, 1950, and accused of heading a spy ring that passed top-secret information concerning the atomic bomb to the Soviet Union. Ethel was arrested two months later. The Rosenbergs were implicated by David Greenglass, Ethel's younger brother and a former army sergeant and machinist at Los Alamos, the secret atomic bomb lab in New Mexico. Greenglass, who himself had confessed to providing nuclear secrets to the Soviets through an intermediary, testified against his sister and brother-in-law in court. He later served 10 years in prison. The Rosenbergs vigorously protested their innocence, but after a brief trial that began on March 6, 1951, and attracted much media attention, the couple was convicted. On April 5, 1951, a judge sentenced them to death and the pair was taken to Sing Sing to await execution. During the next two years, the couple became the subject of both national and international debate. Some people believed that the Rosenbergs were the victims of a surge of hysterical anti-communist feeling in the United States, and protested that the death sentence handed down was cruel and unusual punishment. Many Americans, however, believed that the Rosenbergs had been dealt with justly. They agreed with President Dwight D. Eisenhower when he issued a statement declining to invoke executive clemency for the pair. He stated, "I can only say that, by immeasurably increasing the chances of atomic war, the Rosenbergs may have condemned to death tens of millions of innocent people all over the world. The execution of two human beings is a grave matter. But even graver is the thought of the millions of dead whose deaths may be directly attributable to what these spies have done." Would you like fried with that?

Pilot dies during Continental flight

I love how they have him in his uniform flying the plane. Captain Oveur: You ever been in a cockpit before? Joey: No sir, I've never been up in a plane before. Captain Oveur: You ever seen a grown man naked? Captain Oveur: Joey, have you ever been in a... in a Turkish prison? -
I agree. The worst part is that the owner is going to have to have his pool drained and sterilized. Same with the hot tub. Why he just didn't walk back into the house lock it and then call the police so they could catch the dude in the act is beyond me. I wonder if he'll be able to recognize the guys weiner like Paula Jones could.

I can't believe that it took five posts for someone to post something like that. TSWers are getting a bit slow. Glad to see a couple of people got it, finally.

I think the union will go for it because it will increase revenue for the league and therefore for the players. I've seen interviews with players about this and some have expressed some of the concerns like some of the posters here have. However, most of the players didn't seem to mind. They seemed to feel the pre-season was too long and would like to turn two of those games into regular season games. The league went from 14 games to 16 games in 1978. I don't think that'll be much of a consideration. $$$$$$$ is the thing that will carry the most weight, JMO I like it. I think they would add a second bye week. It would give the players another week of rest and make the TV contract a 20 week schedule instead of 17. That would increase TV contract revenue a lot and since the players get a slice of that money it will help the players. The players would probably ask for an increase in the season rosters and game day rosters. I think the owners would agree to that because of the risk of more injury to a team. If they do this it will coincide with the new TV contract date. JMO I've heard the SB is a huge week for business' to get work done. IIRC, more contracts are made during SB week than any other week of the year. The two weeks probably won't change IMO. I like the idea of having the SB played the day before Presidents Day. The biggest call in sick day of the year is the day after the SB. This article sums up the importance and huge American interest in the game. In North Carolina, four men are collecting signatures for a petition that would seek national-holiday status for the Super Bowl. That official day off would be observed on a Monday, in the grand American tradition of the three-day weekend -- and in recognition of the debilitating Sunday excess of unhealthy food, strong beverage, televised sporting violence, relentless commercialism and not a small amount of gambling. No need to call in sick if the office is closed. __________________________________________________________________ SuperBowlMonday.com's statistical research, which Robert Chute said is culled from countless submissions and Internet browsings, indicates that Super Bowl plans are made, on the average, 41 days in advance of the big game, as opposed to a 35-day advance for New Year's plans and 30 days for anniversary plans. Early each autumn, Newsday's sports department begins fielding telephone calls requesting the upcoming Super Bowl date, so that personal and public schedules can be structured around the game. Chute's group contends there is no slower weekend for weddings.

Fixed! I think he was joking about that. This is really gonna hurt the FF restaurants late night business. Most of the money will probably go to subsidize those restaurants.
