Isn't Gary Johnson running for president? I thought he would be getting more support from conservatives and libertarians.

That guy sure does like to take his shirt off and run around in the wilderness.

Do you really think that the crowd at a tea party debate - and the personalities who would tend to be at something like that - are an accurate representation of the entire movement? 2. No one can possibly deny that there is a lot of anger and hate in the tea party movement, among some people... that doesn't make it ALL of them, or even necessarily a majority of them. I'd probably think the number is higher than SS2K5 would, but you seem to think it's 90% of that crowd that is a Mongol Hoard. I disagree vehemently. 3. Strange as this sounds, if the scenario were slightly different... say that 30 year old was laid off, couldn't afford insurance because the family had no income after a few months, and then got very sick... then my judgment of their behavior would be a lot different. Which brings up a discussion point... perhaps the best way to have gone about health care reform is for the government to provide health care to the unemployed (non-retired adults looking for work actively), but not provide it in any form to those who are employed and can afford it. Do you think that crowd what have reacted differently to your third point scenario?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 08:35 AM) Yeah that was pretty awesome. And Lechler had a 77 yard punt. The Oakland kicking game is crazy. Now if their offense could learn how to pass. They also blocked a punt. Also Denver should win about no games this year.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Sep 13, 2011 -> 07:01 AM) Like the ending? Not at first. The more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

Finally got around to seeing Buried last night. Tough movie to watch, but I really liked it. Very tense.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 04:02 PM) "Eight Beers Americans No Longer Drink" Shows America Getting Smart Those are some pretty big drops. I like that people are trying local brews more. I just hope it's not a fad.

I really hope we win this game or something. Sad face.

Panthers MLB Jon Beason has been officially diagnosed with a torn Achilles' tendon, and will miss the 2011 season.

A shot to the knees like that is cheap.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 02:23 PM) Chiefs season is over now. Stevie Johnson can go f*** himself. I hope someone takes out his knees too. Karma is a b****. What did he do?

People are already calling for a new ND coach? So I guess if you don't win the national championship in the first year, you are fired.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 09:41 AM) We saw the difference between Kubiak and Belichek yesterday. Up 34-0, Kubiak's team tried running out the clock in the 2nd half. Belichek's team would have applied pressure until the end, likely winning by 60 or so. Thats one reason why Belichek is the best coach in the game and Kubiak is lucky to have a job.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 12, 2011 -> 09:27 AM) The epic 16-0 season from the Oakland Raiders begins tonight. Do they still have JaMarcus Russell?

Lot's of injuries in week 1. I'm just glad none of them were on the Packers for once. Rams and Chargers got hit hard.

Arizona's D is really bad, but Newton had a really nice game.

If you run into the back of him, than yes. Aj Hawk jumped completely over him and didn't touch him until he had already made contact with the ball. It dosen't really matter, I think it was a good play even if it was a foul. If he dosen't make a play for the ball Sporles was going to catch it.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 10:48 AM) I think all presidents have their merits and their flaws. To say Reagan was one of the worst presidents in 50 years is just dismissible biased partisan insanity considering Carter and Nixon fall in that span. The fact that you heralded Carter as a "good" president says it all...Carter was one of the worst presidents of ALL time, not just int he last 50 years...and you consider him a great president? Shut off the bias, then we can talk. Reagan ushered in an era of prosperity unmatched by most, in a time where America was all but a blown engine that was stopped dead on the freeway. Do I think he did everything right? No. No president does. But was he bad? Hell no. To say otherwise is just, IMO, ignorant. Was supporting the Contras a flaw?

I like the touchbacks. I'd much rather see offense vs defense.

I thought there was some nice returns last night. Hell the Packers had a kick off return for a touchdown and they haven't done that since 2001.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Sep 9, 2011 -> 09:30 AM) They have to play the Bears. Twice. Good point. Make that average 35 points a game.

I think the Packers offense has a chance to average over 30 points a game this year.

Packers should of had off-season workouts. That offense looks rusty.

He dove over him and never touched him.

That call on AJ Hawk at the end of the game was BS.
