QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 10:50 AM) but it's a total contradiction coming from him. i suppose the evangelical neo-cons, compassionate conservatives, had to change their stripes to remain relevant. frankly, it's not a move a respect. It's funny, I've tried to think this out as a life long, social conservative Christian who has more liberal tendencies when it comes to government. Jesus taught "love your neighbor as yourself". He taught to help the poor and lame. He taught parables about the rich who hoard their money. The bible says "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus." But all I hear from these so called evangelical neo-cons is that people with money (those who can afford healthcare worth having) deserve priority over those who have nothing. I hate the argument that Universal Healthcare will create long lines and people will die while waiting for care. What they are saying, without saying it, is that people WITH good insurance deserve the care MORE than those who dont have it. If you cant afford insurance, then screw you, you're not worthy.

QUOTE (JorgeFabregas @ Sep 18, 2010 -> 12:06 AM) He sort of does have a point in that it's not so much insurance as a health care subscription (if coverage is required for those with pre-existing conditions). On the other hand, people don't usually buy property insurance in pools (as many do with health insurance). That's one of the many reasons I'd prefer a single-payer system. I know this is a little hyperbole, but Huckabe said anyone with diabetes or cancer is a burnt down house.

Well, this isnt very smart to say: Huckabee Opposes Insurance For People With Pre-Existing Conditions: Their Like a Burnt Down House

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 17, 2010 -> 06:30 AM) How about they just ban all reporters from the locker rooms, male and female? Let the players change and what not in peace and then interview them when they get out in the interview rooms or wherever. I agree with both.

QUOTE (Rex Kicka** @ Sep 14, 2010 -> 08:34 PM) Tea Party candidate Christine O'Donnell defeats GOP Establishment candidate Mike Castle in the Delaware primary. It's also not looking good for Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire against a tea party insurgent. Good news for tea partiers, not so good news for the Republican party. According to Nate Silver at fivethirtyeight, if both win their primaries tonight, GOP chances of taking the Senate are roughly halved. I've thought for a while that a growing Tea Party is good for the Democrats. A Tea Party candidate vs a Democrat only energizes the dem base ("we don't want that Tea Party wacho in there") and disenfranchises the more centrist republicans.

Was HDCP Just Cracked?

QUOTE (chw42 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 05:10 PM) The more I thought about it, the more it made sense actually. I came up with an analogous play. Say a receiver catches a ball in the endzone, falls to the ground and as he's making contact with the ground, the ball pops out, that's not a catch. I think in one way or another, the play yesterday is somewhat similar to that. The problem is that he had CLEAR possession with BOTH hands, touched both feet down and I think a hip touched the ground before he ever let the ball touch the ground. This wasn't a receiver who caught the ball and his first contact with the ground the ball popped out. He had already made the catch in what the league considers "in bounds".

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 01:05 PM) that's freaking awesome

For the first time in 6 years, my DVR won't have the word "LOST" in it. In general, I have a few things to look forward to this year. My wife and I are HUGE Supernatural fans, but after the last few years, I fear this year is going to be a letdown. America's Funniest Home Videos is always a hit with me, but I dont think it's "Watercooler" worthy. I am looking forward to V The Event looks interesting... i'll give it a few episodes How could I possibly have forgot Big Bang Theory... my favorite show on TV.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 13, 2010 -> 09:54 AM) The difference for the RB crossing the plane and fumbling is that the running back would already have firmly established possession before fumbling the ball. If a receiver goes up outside of the end zone and does exactly what Johnson does; catches the ball but goes to the ground and loses the football on the ground by extending his arm/showboating a bit too much, they're not going to call it a catch and I don't think they should. If you go up for the ball you need to keep it in your control the whole way through your landing for it to be a catch. Being in the end zone shouldn't save you. very well said.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 12, 2010 -> 05:53 PM) Referee explains why apparent Lions' TD nullified As I thought about it more last night. Here's what I came up with: The rule is dumb. It was obvious to everyone he clearly had possession. Given the rule as it stands, the ruling was right. You cant "prove" he had possession of the ball with his one hand. His hand and the ball could have been falling at the same rate, therefore not a completed catch In summery, right call, DUMB rule

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Sep 12, 2010 -> 05:51 PM) Totally. 463 offensive yards is nothing. FOr the sake of argument, let's factor out the 89 yard play. that's still 374. And, 4 of the drives ended in turnovers. Could have been a LOT more.

I'm gonna say it now. Based on what I saw today, if the Bears can play a cleaner game next week, they might have a shot against the Cowboys next week.

Detroit was robbed. But hey, people from Detroit are used to getting robbed.

@JOD9500 - Post game and Lovie still says he made the right move not going for the field goal. This guy is clueless!!!

I don't know how to process this (pun intended). Johnson scored, but he didn't. We won, but we lost. The offense played well, but bad.

That's f***ed up. Sorry. Glad it went our way, but wow.

If this isn't a TD, that's a seriously f***ed up rule. That's a Td.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 12, 2010 -> 09:47 AM) I just looked at the schedule. Generously, they can win 5 or 6. It's very tough. Sun. 12 LIONS Sun. 19 @ Cowboys Mon. 27 PACKERS Sun. 3 @ Giants Sun. 10 @ Panthers Sun. 17 SEAHAWKS Sun. 24 REDSKINS Sun. 7 @ Bills (Toronto) Sun. 14 VIKINGS Thu. 18 @ Dolphins Sun. 28 EAGLES Sun. 5 @ Lions Sun. 12 PATRIOTS Mon. 20 @ Vikings Sun. 26 JETS Sun. 2 @ Packers I bolded the most likely wins. But there always seems a fluke win or two. I can see a win or two against the Panthers, Dolphins, Vikings or Giants.

QUOTE (knightni @ Sep 12, 2010 -> 08:53 AM) I'm posting this right now. I will be shocked if the Bears win more than 6 games this season. I think 7 is the max they win.

My wife didn't understand the Leaf commercial (probably because she didnt see the beginning). I though it was brilliant.
