QUOTE(Kalapse @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 02:38 PM) He reminds me so much of Dusty Baker in that sense, it's scary. You read my mind.

So what exactly did McCarthy say?

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Mar 2, 2007 -> 01:45 PM) I am for cutting our dependence on oil, if only for the fact that I would like to make the arab bastards suffer when their sand-gold doesn't command as much green as it once used to. I would like our dependence on oil to diminish so that my daughter and future grandchildren can breathe clean air, drink clean water and ultimately lead healthier lives. But what can I say...I'm a positive person.

QUOTE(hi8is @ Mar 1, 2007 -> 03:48 PM) hows sisco sound? Not a big fan of the "Thong Song".

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 04:41 PM) So no one mentioned leading GOP environmentalist. Al Gore Exxon No kidding. Lets just start drilling in Alaska. We need more oil. Heck, lets just build an oil rig every other mile across the country. Screw the environment. I'll only be alive for another 60 years or so at the most.

QUOTE(kapkomet @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 04:34 PM) BS, you'll appreciate this... You damn hippee! Although I think like a hippie no one would confuse me for one when they saw me. I guess I'm an anomaly.

QUOTE(Alpha Dog @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 04:21 PM) So he is just paying someone else to NOT pollute so he CAN POLLUTE. Simply buying 'carbon offsets' doesn't mean he isn't a major contributor, it just means that he is rich and can continue to live the way he wants to because he can 'purchase' his way to neutral. That is just another way for the feel-good liberals to claim moral superiority because their intentions are good. Perhaps you should read earlier posts in this thread that explain what is really going on. And when did saving the Earth become a liberal idea? I figured everyone would be interested in saving it.

QUOTE(Cknolls @ Feb 28, 2007 -> 10:29 AM) And their Gulfstream flies on bullS*** Excellent retort. I will now no longer listen to anything Al Gore has to say.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 27, 2007 -> 06:30 PM) The most recent Gore camp response: Well that's not good enough for some people here. Apparently he is not supposed to use any electricity or fossil fuels ever. Perhaps he should live in a tree and eat berries otherwise he's a hypocrite. How dare he provide people with scientific facts that we are destroying the Earth.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 27, 2007 -> 12:21 PM) Only if he's doing 100% kind of like a retirement planner can only recommend doing up to what he is doing, or a Doctor can only recommend as much exercise as he is doing. It's wrong. If a Doctor isn't exercising regularly he can't tell his patients to exercise, that would be wrong and he's a hypocrite. Heh. That made me laugh.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 04:42 PM) Please. Answer this. Answer the man. Those arguing against keeping the Chief tradition, answer this question. Yes, they too are racist.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 03:36 PM) Are you really comparing this to slavery? C'mon.... So, is Florida State or Utah any less racist? Just because they have an agreement with the tribe? Any more honorable? If the NCAA is going to blast one school because it's racist, then all of them should be, no matter what the agreement is. Do you guys agree? I'm not comparing it to slavery but using "it's been going on forever" doesn't make it right. Neither does "Some others schools are doing it".

QUOTE(SnB @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 03:11 PM) ... but then why did people start focusing all their attention on getting rid of it? It's been around forever... In 1850 slavery had been around forever. Did that make it ok?

Vazquez will never be the dominant guy that our coaching staff thinks he can become. He's been around for a while and every team that he pitches for thinks that he'll come around. Ultimately they get fed up with his inability to reach his potential and ship him to the next sucker willing to try and fix him.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Feb 22, 2007 -> 01:28 PM) Oh well, all I can say to the people who claim to be offended by Chief, get off your soap box. Right because because no one has a right to be offended by racism as long as Pauly8509CWS from a White Sox message board doesn't think you should be.

I can't wait till all the oceans are depleted of marine life.

QUOTE(aboz56 @ Feb 21, 2007 -> 04:33 PM) How will the quality translate? I plan on getting the mlb.tv premium package, so all I will need to do is get a S-video hookup from my laptop and hook it to the TV? Will I need any software? I plugged it right into my tv with an s-video cable. Looked great. No software.

Heh. No problem. I'll be going through Dallas on Monday. I'll keep my eyes open for a whack job.

Signed it earlier today.

I really don't understand why people are losing sleep over a mascot going away. In the grand scheme of things who cares? Although I'm not a fan of any Illini team I still wouldn't care if any of my favorite team's mascot or logo needed to change for whatever reasons. There are more important things in life to concentrate your energy on.

QUOTE(Pauly8509CWS @ Feb 20, 2007 -> 02:31 PM) Can someone please explain to me how Chief Illiniwek is offensive to an extinct tribe of Native Americans? Would you be offended by an all black college using a mascot where a black person painted their face white and danced very stiff and rigid during half time?

So any word on Zidane?
