QUOTE (Capn12 @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 10:18 PM) I gotta say, its kinda weird. Our(South Carolina) special teams have been ANYTHING but special, but they looked fantastic against Mizzou. Your QB, Franklin, baffles me. He looks FAR too relaxed and patient back there, it is very odd. I do think that Mizz has the chance to win some East games, the defensive gameplan against Mizz was fantastic for us. I know he is capable of far more than that though, he looked indifferent while in the game. Even if you take out return protection for us, which is bad, it's just our Kicker and punter are the worst we've had since 04. We're at the point where an XP isn't guaranteed. Franklin, it's tough. He had .9 seconds to throw that game, he has a young o-line that is often just missing assignments and people are coming through untouched. And with that, as would be pretty common with a QB, he's kind of assuming how the play will go before it happens, and gives up and just decides to go with the dump off. He is really talented, but having a bad oline brings out the worst in most QBs.

I don't know, my directions so far have been pretty bad.

Lost my dog today of ten years. Surprising how sad that stuff can be.

It'd make my day to see Tennessee take them out at their place, then have them come to Columbia and get beat 2 weeks in a row! Good game on Saturday. Sadly it looks like our offensive line and special teams will prevent us from having any sort of year. BUt I guess over the long run, getting young guys experience at oline is good. Special teams however, holy s*** they need work.

QUOTE (bmags @ Sep 25, 2012 -> 07:33 PM) Guys guys, stop if you've heard this before. The white sox have no runs scored against the worst pitcher in the rotation in a must-win game. just reposting this so we can hit back to backs again.

Hey does anyone have an image saved of Hawk with the sox eye patch? If so, please PM me with it.

I cried last night when hawk interrupted stone in the smirnoff 8th to say "If we don't start scorin some runs I'ma need to get me some of that smirnoff" Stone ignored.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Sep 24, 2012 -> 07:31 PM) Oh, Michael Vick, I believe Mr. Flacco has surpassed you on my team's depth chart moving forward. I have the same QBs as you. Not sure what to do. Vick's first two games were awful visually but not bad for me Fantasy wise. I keep thinking he'll have a blowout soon.

I ran into the Torrey Smith/Charles buzzsaw. Had a pretty good week too, but Gates/Romo sunk my nice contributions from andre brown, mcfadden, and j jones.

These are such marginal things. The intimation that there are phones that are far advanced than other phones right now is ridiculous. The speed additions will be slight, the weight will be slight, the screen definition will be slight for human eyes. The apps and functionality are nearly universal across both platforms. Most people are going to go with what they are comfortable with and have found to be reliable, since these are not people's first founds anymore. But here apparently product is some sort of extension of person, and judging by this thread it's an extension between the legs. And I find it annoying. If people who just purchased a new product can come in here and just post some of the new things they like/don't like about the product that would be a welcome change to the measuring contest it has been for especially the past few weeks.

nobody gives a s***.

Agreed.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 21, 2012 -> 04:41 PM) I never understood why liberals think that when conservatives b**** about this it's only black people we're considered about. More white people receive food stamps and welfare. I get more angry at the white parents with the 2-3 kids at Sams Clubs using Link and Wic for essentials and then spending 300 bucks on garbage more than someone living in a public housing development (anger is equal if it were black parents, but I don't see any at my local Sams Club) Because of history.

Was able to get brown in both my leagues last week because i had an awful week 2. I don't trust him all season, but DAMN what a week from him.

Just a reminder: Ted Kennedy reached across the aisle for Bush's signature education proposal, and democrats voted for cloture on medicare part D even if they didn't vote for the bill. And there's also Iraq. You can't really point to any such cooperation on the Republican side for Obama, who entered with much more popularity than Bush. They received a single republican vote for health care, in the house. And received no such cloture votes from them.

To be fair, Chicago's trend might be different than the national. This is actually fairly fascinating to me. A 50% decrease over 6 years in revenue. I wonder how much is evasion and how much is decreased smoking. I wonder if there's data for surrounding counties.

easily willhahn. Although i like the potential of being rickwill'd

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 09:33 PM) Like I said, just don't eat peanuts, OR, bring your own lunch if you have a highly specialized diet...or, the school should be able to not f*** that up and make sure the kid gets no peanuts...I don't think it's too much to ask of these people who just begged for raises... What we do instead of punish all the kids that aren't allergic to peanut butter...I just find it absurd. Today it's peanut butter for X reason...tomorrow is something else for Y reason...and before you know it, you can eat a protein tablet with purified water and nothing else for Z reason. But the issue isn't kids with peanut allergies grabbing a peanut butter sandwich because he feels left out. It's that peanut residue can be on the table they eat at, and get digested by the kids.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) They've already f***ed themselves on the cigarette tax...just 3 years ago they were raking in almost twice as much tax money on cigarrettes than they are now. Bottled Water Tax: Claim because it's bad for the environment...yet the other two aren't? Also where did you read this? That seems too dramatic to be true.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 09:11 PM) They've already f***ed themselves on the cigarette tax...just 3 years ago they were raking in almost twice as much tax money on cigarrettes than they are now...and that's not just because the good people of Chicago decided to quit for the health benefits...but because those same people are going over the border and buying them for less, or being priced out of smoking... Hey, good for us non smokers...as I find smoking annoying...but the City was making millions per year off of it...and now that they're drying that well up, they'll have to find something else to tax. I'm sick of their tax everything mentality...especially when they pretend they do some of it for our own good. Cigarette tax: Claim because it;s bad for us. Soda tax: Claim because it's bad for us. Bottled Water Tax: Claim because it's bad for the environment...yet the other two aren't? Right, I agree our tax base is largely at it's limits, that's why I was against the teacher strike. But the cigarette tax is mostly just going to punish the very poor. Frankly at this point there is no good revenue stream that hasn't been tapped into. The TIF rollbacks are probably the safest, but will still hurt quite a few people.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 20, 2012 -> 09:05 PM) No, I did no such thing. I merely mentioned that these 1st-3rd graders are old enough to be taught to not talk to strangers -- OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL -- and you suddenly said strangers are entering into schools or some such nonsense?! Not the same. My point was that if we can teach them important things like crossing streets, and not talking to strangers, common safety...then they can be taught to not eat something that will kill them. They're not that dumb. The way you dismissed it like, they're just 1st-3rd graders seems to be you saying that they're too dumb to know these things...and that's simply not true. No, what I said fits in perfectly. You can still teach these kids values like that to help them avoid danger. But just because you are doing that doesn't mean you can't help remove some of the dangers from their lives. Example: 1) Remember to look both ways and always cross at a crosswalk -Yet schools still regularly supply crossing guards to keep the children from getting run over by a car. 2) Scissors are dangerous -Yet schools still often require children in grads 1-4 to have those harmless plastic scissors Schools are responsible for teaching children but also providing them with a safe environment. If the school has numerous children violently allergic to peanuts, they have to assure their safety just as they have to assure anyone else.
