Penn State horror story
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 7, 2012 -> 08:22 AM) It's really a perfect example of a "football culture" gone awry, gone to the extreme, which is exactly why the NCAA stepped in. It's a cult. It's as simple as that.

Harry Reid has some massive balls. Either he is going to go down in flames, or he'll single handedly sink the entire Romney campaign.

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Aug 1, 2012 -> 07:54 PM) That's cool. can he say if he was able to take one of those unmarked connecting flights out of McCarran airport? He never actually worked there. it was a possible destination that he could pick from a list. They opted not to and are waiting to see where they will be headed from the list he gave the AF. They are hoping for the base in Las Vegas or one of the three in FL.

Catch-All Anything Thread
My brother-in-law is currently in the Air Force and decided to re-enlist for another 4 years. They gave him a list of places he could be based out of. My sister and him went through and created a list of places they want to go. One option they gave him was an unnamed base in Nevada where he gets on an unmarked bus Monday morning, travels to the unnamed base, and returns Friday afternoon; he would also be sworn to secrecy and never allowed to discuss his job. Yea, I think you and I both know the "real" name of this base. They decided to NOT list that as an option because she doesnt want him gone 5 days a week.

Reed Johnson and Geovany Soto traded
QUOTE (fathom @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 10:41 PM) They got Vizcaino and Jaye Chapman. I like the risk for the Cubs, as Vizcaino had a great arm prior to TJS. Cubs fans on Twitter think they got Aroldis Chapman. lol

Catch-All Anything Thread
QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jul 30, 2012 -> 01:35 PM) I got a letter in the mail the other day telling me that the elementary school that my youngest daughter goes to has failed to meet the state standards for 2 years in a row. We could transfer her to another school but every single elementary school in the district failed to meet the standards. Schools in the surrounding districts don't have room to take on extra students, so we are pretty much stuck. Registration starts tomorrow. I remember when I was in school our district was considered to be one of the better ones in the area. I guess that was only compared to Rockford schools. Can you afford a private school? I am biased, but I know the Lutheran school system is pretty good.

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 28, 2012 -> 12:23 AM) I thought the ceremonies were boring and uneventful. There were a few cool moments that were spaced by a lot of dullness. The transition between farmers and industry was WAY too long

The opening ceremonies were pretty lame. The overall presentation was bland and WAY too much transition time between scenes. it didnt flow at all.

Job Hunt Thread
Thanks everyone. I am very excited and very nervous. I've had my current job since the day I graduated college, so after over 7 years, it's a little scary to get out of my comfort zone. But in the end I feel it will be well worth it. A great opportunity to learn new things and grow professionally.

The Miami Marlins thread
QUOTE (caulfield12 @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) Interesting that Buehrle's name didn't come up. How will he be more marketable in the future? Eventually, they're going to have to send some salary relief to move him. Not that Buehrle would do it, but isnt there a clause in contracts that say you can opt for free agency if you are traded in year one of a multi-year deal?

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Jul 24, 2012 -> 01:12 PM) They can't get Dwight anymore. They don't have the assets. All of those plans ended when they inked Lopez. I thought they still could, but they'd have to wait until January. But even then, i'd be pretty hard.

2012-2013 NBA thread
Can someone explain to me what the Rockets are doing with the Lin and Asik contracts? For the 2014-2015 season, they will be making $30m combined (about $15m each!). My only guess is they are stocking up so they can be traded as expiring contracts.
