It'd be really sweet if Butler could win this and get essentially a home game next week.

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Mar 27, 2010 -> 04:29 PM) If anything it was an offensive foul. I'm like you guys though, thought he got mauled when I saw it in real time. Good job by the refs. I still think that Prince got him with the body.

The story of the negotiations and the President hanging tough when the Russians expecting him to fold was something I found interesting.

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Mar 26, 2010 -> 12:14 PM) I'm surprised no one has really commented on the brewing Catholic priest scandal. *awaits Balta to post several links to his posts on the topic* Actually, I've been hesitating because I thought there had probably been enough venom spewed in this forum this week.
