QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 11:31 AM) Has that ever been even talked about before? I dont see why its that much different. Yes, the OB did throw the ball that got picked, but the pitcher also threw the ball that went yard..... No, the pitcher did not throw the pitch that went yard. The pitcher threw a pitch that was booted in the field, allowing the runner to stay on base. Sure, he may throw a pitch that goes yard afterwards, but the runner on first is considered unearned. The problem with changing the rule is when a QB throws a pass too high and too hard, and the WR barely can get his fingers on it to tip it. To me, the QB is at fault in that scenario. But what Gage did was inexcusable, the ball hit him in the chest and he bounced it upwards to a defender. that wasnt Ortons fault.

QUOTE(Tony82087 @ Sep 26, 2005 -> 09:19 AM) I really beleive in football, with a play like the Gage play, where Gage had that ball right on the numbers, and he couldnt make the play, the OB should not be charged an INT. Like an unearned run in baseball. I completely agree with that. Gage pisses me off so much, it seems like every time he misses a catch, he pops it way up in the air for anyone to grab.

QUOTE(Chisoxrd5 @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 01:11 PM) Speculation Station: I'm not sure why she was reprimanded for talking to the crowd. Unless she was possibly a cheerleader and was out of line or something...But they were probably clued into the parents when they went in to talk to the dean or principal after their daughter was scolded. Can you imagine the look on the deans face when he realized that her parents were Lesbians? You could probably cut the tension in that room with a knife

Define "winning the war". No matter what, life is lost. This isnt something that the Government will be able to step away from and say to themselves "yes, they are much better off now.". US occupation of Iraq will continue for a lot longer than we are being told, even though everyone with a open-mind knows this. Its just a situation that is really going to be in a constant state of flux for a long time.

I dont really understand the situation in which the girl was reprimanded for talking to the crowd during a football game. And further more, I dont understand how this exposed her parents as being lesbians. Can anyone clue me in here?

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 11:40 AM) I wore the wrong shoes to ballet and kicked myself in the face. lol, I hate when that happens

Wow. This is going to dump that gay marraige can o' worms right into the Governators lap.

Its still a humungous f***ing creature. I wouldnt be surprised if that thing was hunting people just because it could. 21 feet, thats completely amazing. Thats an older animal.

QUOTE(The Critic @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 10:44 AM) My daughter just started ballet and tap lessons, she's in a soccer league and she is going to be in Girl Scouts soon. She is absolutely awesome, despite inheriting WAY too many of my personality traits. LMAO, I know how you feel.

QUOTE(Queen Prawn @ Sep 23, 2005 -> 10:32 AM) Tom is cute! That isnt really Tom, but he looks just like that. He is really cute. They have these strange little personalities that you wouldnt even know about unless you owned one. Of course, this guy is in it for the long haul, they can live up to 80-100 years and get up to 150 pounds.

My daughter turned 5 on tuesday. Completely blows my mind. She was so little, then she was talking back. Her main present was Tom the Turtle(a Sulcata tortoise) that she picked out. Alot of people give me s*** for getting her a turtle(Oh my gawd! They all have salmonella!), but I really think its a good learning tool for her, and it teaches responsibility. She is pretty into it, so I am happy. Tom ^^^

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 07:29 PM) We use Outlook also and just so you know.. the IT Dept has access to any and everything you do via their server and should have been able to stop it. Maybe they just got a late jump on it. Do you know which office this guy was located out of? Nope. he sent it first to Area 8, and thats Connecticut and Rhode Island, so i am guessing thats it. I really dont know though. Im not worried really. if this guy was part of the Illinois Branches, im sure we would all know where he was at. I swear that this place gossips worse than a knitting circle.

QUOTE(Steff @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 06:28 PM) A company that big and the IT dept couldn't stop the flow..? Not to mention the HR Dept responding is weird also. Well.. good luck to you.. keep your head out of the line of whatever fire he might be referring to. I have never even heard of this guy, so i am not too worried about a religion-induced shooting spree at my office anytime soon We use Microsoft Outlook for our email. I am not too familiar with it since I use yahoo for my personal email, but it seems like if someone gets an email and responds to all there isnt much the techies can do about it. i dont know much about that stuff though..... I also think the HR dept responded due to the religious message in his goodbye letter.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 04:59 PM) So, what'd he do, join a cult, move to another country, or is he gonna off himself? I would send you his email, but I dont want to start something that could so easily be traced back to me. Draw your own conclusions I guess. Here are some of the better replies to the email before the president of the company put the Ka-bosh on the jokes: -from an employee named Jesus, LOL And finally---

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 04:06 PM) Wow, I'm surprised the company let that be sent to everyone. . . You can send an email to whomever you want in the server. No mods until you cause trouble

Everyone at my company just recieved this email about 45 minutes ago. Keep in mind that the company I work for has multiple branches in California, Minnesota, Illinois, Connecticut, Maine, and Maryland. So, many many people recieved, and responded to this. The response reminded me of a Juggs induced religious argument. anywho, here it is:

It depends on what you consider the best? Schedule? Players? Competitiveness within the conference? Draft picks out of the conference? Finishes in March madness? I think its a pretty subjective question. You can look at RPI and say "Team A is better than Team B", and then look at SOS and say "But Team B has a tougher schedule than Team A, therefore they must be better..." My favorite conference to watch in terms of competitiveness year in year out is the MVC. Of course, i went to SIU so my view is a little(ok, alot) biased. But last year SIU was all the way up to the teens in RPI. Did that make them as good as their RPI? No way. It just shows that College Basketball is extremely difficult to rank.

I dont really know what Curry expects. It isnt as if he can hide his condition from the world. The Bulls have shown him that they want him there, and now Eddy(or his agent and isiah) wants to go to New york? I would almost say let the knicks sign him outright. Let Isiah screw up New Yorks financial situation EVEN MORE, and get a draft pick for Curry.

QUOTE(Confederate_48 @ Sep 22, 2005 -> 07:37 AM) What he said on ESPN was pretty funny I thought. He has a checklist in his locker and next up is Jerry Azumah and his goals for each week are 85 yards I think. Knowing what Chad Johnson is capable of, an 85 yard day doesnt seem so bad.

What? I heard his comments today on Carmen and Silvy, and he said "We all know i am uncoverable. But after looking over the tape of their last game and the game against the Skins, this defense is unbelievable. they are sliding all over the place.." i heard cockiness, but nothing like his previous escapades.

I think it is way overblown. I dont think Boone has cleat marks in his back, it really looked like to me that AJ did his best to keep his wieght off of his foot, he just doesnt have a long or fast stride. Unfortunate for Boone, but Aaron certainly didnt look pissed after it was over. And I have yet to read anything indicating he was angry.

QUOTE(Chisoxfn @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 03:32 PM) The original announcement above said for people to refrain from searching. However, since we expect very heavy traffic again tonight, as a temporary solution (we hopefully will have a better more permanent solution in the near future) we are going to turn off the search function during tonights game as well as turn off the members viewing this forum and the members viewing this thread feature. We think this will put a limit to both the queries and as a result of that the mysql useage and connection hangups. We also plan on in the near future upgrading our mysql software (hopefully...the expert Kap has yet to tell 2k and I if what were thinking is actually right in terms of going to version 4.0 but we think were probably right for once). Also we'll be cleaning up the database a bit during a downperiod (not during a game or anything). We want to do our best to make sure people can access and talk with the rest of the community throughout the game thread and than after games we will turn those features back on. Hopefully this works and once again were going to work on a permanent solution. Yay! No error messages!

Damn air brushed pictures. ^^^^ Since when did Tyra Banks breasts become such an issue that she has to have Dr Fisher feel her up and some random lady give her chest a sonogram? GMAFB

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Sep 21, 2005 -> 02:01 PM) So once again I'll ask...if the Patriots can build a beautiful stadium without using public funds for anything but upgrades to the infrastructure around the park, why should the folks in Minnesota have to foot the bill? I know he isnt the owner now, but wasnt Red McCombs one of the richest owners? Its sad that he can reap the profits from his fanbase and not give them a stadium to be proud of. The new design looks pretty nice, I like the idea of a retractable roof, but I am curious as to what would make them close the roof, precipitation or temperature. Either way, it gets just as cold in Lambeau, and they dont have the option of closing their roof.
