Adrian Peterson is killing me... reports say he's going 100% in practice, he says he's cutting with full force, but his OC says he will only get 5-10 snaps on sunday.. In my experience in situations like these I'll sit the guy and he'll do something amazing with his 10 touches...

Why did i start him

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:57 PM) dude i'm completely with you. COMPLETELY. but voting for Romney because you think he'll do any more for you than Obama just isn't realistic. I'm building a business right now - i spend 5-10 hours a week doing it, and i'm already profitable after 4 months. by the end of the year i plan to be making an extra grand/month on top of my full time job, and by a year in the business i plan to quit my full time job. It's doable, you just need ambition and ingenuity. What you don't need is money. trust me id love to be able to open up a business, s*** my neighborhood desperately needs a Red Mango since the closest one is all the way in skokie and that thing is a cash cow. When the post 9-11 gi bill first came out it had its bugs but for the most part it was fair because you were paid properly, in other words you did not have to necessarily work and go to school at the same time (I dont have a problem working and schooling at the same time but since you HAVE to be a full time student in order to get paid...). Congress recently changed a part of the bill that now makes our benefits pro-rated based on when the semester starts. My semester started August 27th therefore i only received a weeks worth of living allowance for the entire month of september, which is $400. I paid my electric bill and car note and I have $20 left until October 1st (Didnt pay rent, my landlord is more lenient than 5th 3rd bank is). Now multiply my remarks for every veteran using the post 9-11 gi bill, especially the ones that are going to school in podunk towns, University of Alabama for example.. The living allowance is based off of the average rent rate in the area, im blessed to be in a Chicago area zip code but tons of other vets are going to schools outside of major cities where the rent rate is much lower therefore they are surviving on peanuts literally. This is the reason why me and hundreds of thousands of other vets just want back in the military, while we were in, it was the only job that was recession-proof, everyone is on the same fair pay scale, you couldnt get fired (unless you did something extremely stupid), and the benefits cant be beat. Were all back in the real world because of promises from the VA that we would be taken care of because they want us to go focus on school and not worry about a part time job. Now many of us are living on borderline poverty, better make sure i dont spend my last 20 in one place.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:30 PM) At least you get that superior VA care, amiright? Lolz.. And i look as the GOP as the ones that take care of the military because during the bush era we received fair pay raises each year (about $100 more per month), and once Obama was elected we've received the second smallest pay raise ever put in place since 1962. Oh and also i was forced out of active duty due to "downsizing" because the job I have is apparently overstrength all of a sudden, now when i volunteer to come back in doing any job thats available in the active duty army I get told that they are not hiring. #Change

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 12:19 PM) that's ridiculous. voting for romney because you want more wars. i get that you're a soldier, and i appreciate your service, but damn son, you want to compete for jobs go back to school or build a business or DO something to create your own opportunities! screwing over vets isn't a GOP or DEM thing, both sides do it and it's a travesty. You have to look out for yourself. I am back in school, double majoring in elementary ed and computer science while getting screwed by congress as they nickle and dime the post 9-11 GI Bill to the point where veterans end up with no money to pay rent, groceries, or hell even buy books for their classes! Build a business i couldnt get a loan unless i robbed a bank. I dont necessarily want more wars but at least bring the numbers back up so that those that planned to retire working for uncle sam while doing their 20 years could still do so.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 5, 2012 -> 09:29 AM) Just assume everyone is lying to you from both sides and place your pointless vote in November. yep, im voting for romney only because when a republican is in office that means bigger raises and more action/jobs for us military folk.. jobs are good, obamas been downsizing the s*** out of us and now you have hundreds of thousands of unemployed vets competing with other unemployed vets for jobs (I'm one of them).

I learned about this little place back in the day when the nfl-fans.com forum was poppin through an old poster by the name of goldmember. Ive made a bunch of friends here like carter224, qwerty and Ace even though he refuses to have a beer with me. Ill always love this place as I get to get in my daily trolling fix and also my greg fix. I think this is the first time ive ever posted in Pale Hose Talk.. -

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Aug 24, 2012 -> 07:50 AM) I'm just making an educated guess here, but there's no chance in hell Greg Jackson lets Jones take that fight on 8 days or one month notice, in fact, the way Jones is running his career, if Glover performs the way I and many others think he will, Jones will be dodging him for awhile. This is what I have a problem with.. I agree that Chael does not deserve anything close to a shot at the LHW title, but God help us if this is the future of the UFC with fighters dodging opponents and picking and choosing who they want and when they want to fight. I guess we should have saw this coming when at first Jones was adamant about not fighting Rashad. Bisping and Chuck were blasting Jones on twitter last night about defending the belt like a champ, and as meatballish as that sounds i think they have a point. I dont want the UFC to turn into a boxing mentality because of one guy thats star gets big enough that even he can override Dana White.
