How is Marlins trade different from what the cubs are doing?
QUOTE (Harry Chappas @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 05:14 PM) Loria could be a complete douche but the Marlin fans did not show up when they won and had a terrible stadium he got a brand new stadium built spent a ton of dough on the team last year and they still did not show up. The Florida fans deserve whatever they get. They have two championships and zeero fan base. The state of Florida should not have professional sports. Transplant states like Arizona and Florida seem to have a lot of problems establishing their own fanbase. Lots of retirees and people who still identify with where they grew up before they moved to the warmer climates.

McAfee Antivirus creator wanted for murder
The McAfee story really is twisted. Earlier this year the Belize police raided his house because they thought he was running a meth lab(the charges were later dropped). After that he apparently became more and more paranoid that the police were watching and stalking him. McAfee has admitted to dealings with the gangs on the island too, so he has a shady reputation. His story is that the neighbor was killed after the dogs were poisoned so that it would look like he had a motive, and then the police could kill him when they brought him in for questioning. One other thing, apparently his 100 million dollar fortune is dwindled to 4 million in a few short years.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) I disagree, they NEED black hero's. Black people in the 40's and 50's used to watch TV and see only white people, and wondered why there were no people like them on there. It feeds into an inferiority complex and a white standard of beauty which has been scientifically researched (the doll experiment). When kids do not see positive rolemodels who look like them on TV and in the media they start wondering why. It still goes on to this day, it's hard for a black girl to feel beautiful when she looks on Tv and in magazines and sees nothing but lightskinned black girls with straightened hair. People definitely need hero's that look like them. Skin color and ethnicity matters, no matter how politically incorrect it is to say so. You should really only speak for yourself and not everyone else. You dont know what people need or want, at all, apparently. Nobody here is being disingenuous by saying that they dont feel they have to cheer for someone of their own race more than someone of a different race.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 03:37 PM) Hey there's something to that. People want to cheer for people who look more like them. It's why I consider Paul Konerko a modern day white mans working class hero. It WOULD be different if he were black....and young...er WTF, no.

How is Marlins trade different from what the cubs are doing?
QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 02:50 PM) What exactly are the Cubs doing? rebuilding with the intention of contending to create more money for an extended period of time. Not making of pretend show of contending to build up the value of the franchise then shoving it in everyones faces and ditching the entire payroll so you can collect revenue sharing and tv money deal and keep it to yourself. It isnt hard to figure out, i dont know why you arent getting this.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) I don't know what this means, he spent a boatload last year...they didn't work out and Lorias obviously impatient. Im not saying that they WILL but I dont see why not. I'd love to be the Marlins GM right now. It was a ruse.

I like how he buried himself in the sand on the beach and put a box over his head, and that is how he eluded police. Thats straight out of a Pink Panther movie

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 08:29 AM) Cutler better not play on Monday, no reason to have him go. I read prolonged flying can hurt concussion recovery too. Give him the week to rest, get him ready for the next two games at home. I find it interesting that Campbell takes zero snaps during the practice week. That's probably why he was Mr. Check-Down on Sunday. With a full week of practice, he should be better, anyway the Bears offense was 28th in the league with Cutler, how much worse can it get? Isnt it zero snaps with first team? zero snaps period seems pretty dumb

QUOTE (CrimsonWeltall @ Nov 14, 2012 -> 08:08 AM) It's possible that the Govenor's comment about it being a show (no-teeth zombies) also meant that the fight itself was fake. That is true I suppose. But it didnt appear that part was fake. Also, it kind of looked like the Governers daughter should have bit him when he was brushing her hair and she started moving. at the very least his arm was right in front of her face and she didnt go after him. I didnt really like that

I liked The Walking Dead, but I have to say this: I like the actor that plays Merle, but he would have gotten his ass kicked by that bruiser in that fight.
