QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 3, 2007 -> 03:01 PM) More amazing is that he didn't know you can't call back to back timeouts, and might have lost his team the game turning a 51 yard FG into a 36 yarder. He should be fired after this season, it amazes me that he was once an awesome coach, because he's been clueless since he came back. I think if anyone ever reflects back on that game it wont because of the 10 men on the field as opposed to the back to back timeouts.

I realllllllllllllllllllllllly hope this is true

My boss has been giving $25-$50 gas cards to clients this year depending on the communication weve had with them for the past few months.

I think that means the Bears have been tributing Sean Taylor all year, because since the acquisition of Archuletta they've only had 10 men on the field all season.

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 11:53 PM) Here is my breakdown based solely on guessing, not having read anything about what specific bowls may do: BCS Championship - OSU vs. LSU Rose - USC vs. Illinois or Georgia Sugar - Georgia or Illinois vs. Missouri or Kansas (Illinois/Missouri rematch?) Fiesta - Oklahoma vs. Arizona State Orange - VA Tech vs. West Virginia Somebody tell me where I am off, please. Well it would have to be U of I in the Rose Bowl wouldnt it?

QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 10:44 PM) I still think Ohio State and LSU will/should end up playing for the Championship. Once again, I think you can say the BCS worked. That said, who in the hell does a Michigan fan root for??? This seems like the most logical matchup

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Dec 1, 2007 -> 02:39 PM) Do you folks who've been at this longer than me have a favorite wodka wariety? I'm finally getting to the point where I can afford something beyond Gordon's, which is occasionally nice. Im a huge fan of Effen vodka. Its not cheap but its the smoothest Ive had. Goose, Belvediere and Kettle are also up there. If you want the inbetween go with Absolut, it wont break your wallet and it wont leave the hangover of the $10 headaches. Theres also something to be said about going to a bar and ordering an effen screwdriver

SIU should get a shot in this mess

QUOTE(BobDylan @ Nov 30, 2007 -> 09:07 PM) They are. We all know that but I was curious if he thought so. I still wanna hear how the 2001 Mariners were the best baseball team ever. They lost the least amount of games.

All hail the 2001 Seattle Mariners. The best baseball team ever because they had the least amount of losses!!!!! Also Shadows, with your logic, you must think the 72-10 Bulls team was the best of all time right?

QUOTE(witesoxfan @ Nov 28, 2007 -> 01:34 AM) I would drink Mike's if it's free or if it has a shot of Vodka in it. Really no other time is there that I would drink it. You also need to consider it if youre looking for a nice case of heartburn.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Nov 27, 2007 -> 05:24 PM) Just seeing that word on screen made my body shiver and break out into that cold sweat like right before I puke. I agree completely. However for the most part, whenever someone gets me a shot thats normally what I end up drinking. Also, my friend, a guy, is on the strangest Mikes Hard Lemonade kick and its beginning to scare and/or bother me.

Madden 03 or 04. Vicks first year as a starter. I could win as the Falcons online by over 100 points almost everytime

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 09:36 AM) Not a surprise, get ready for the Garrett Wolfe show!!! In all seriousness though, officially add RB to the incredibly long list of Bears needs this offseason. You dont think RB needed to be addressed in the offseason before the injury?

QUOTE(smalls2598 @ Nov 26, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) I know it's not your typical kind of Christmas movie, but my current favorite: Bad Santa I was hoping I could get all the way through and no one would put it so I could. Also, no Die Hard? Lame

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 24, 2007 -> 04:34 PM) I read where most of their "arrests" do not get convicted. I always wondered since they were showing up to meet someone who was actually of legal age, what they would be convicted of? The opposite would not work in court, hey I thought she was 18, so why would the I thought she was 16 work for the prosecutor? But these guys are scum and deserve the severe public burn they get. Since the show started airing they have changed the laws pretty crazy. I watch it all the time and from what they say, it is a felony to simply discuss having sex with a girl online if she tells you she is a minor. If the guys dont show up sometimes they go and arrest them at their houses. From what they say on the show too the pretty much convict all of them it makes it sound like because of the evidence they have with the transcript.

QUOTE(Gregory Pratt @ Nov 24, 2007 -> 04:10 PM) Philadelphia is such a great, sad movie. Is that the one where the Eagles go to New England and get slaughtered?

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 12:06 PM) I would never have thought of him for that subject. he was probably reading every book he could to help his own marriage and decided to make all the research pay off, funny, she probably received a percentage of the profits. I severely doubt he was going around reading books about how to save his own marriage and decided to use what he learned to write a book. Im sure it was more like, Ill write a book about another topic trying to make money and later it will be exposed that maybe I dont know how to fix my own problems let alone others. You make it sound like this guy is a saint. I dunno, if you havent been to see him you probably dont know what kind of guy he is.

QUOTE(Brian @ Nov 24, 2007 -> 11:29 AM) I love it when they tell the TV they had no intentions of having sex with her, yet the find condoms on them. I made a thread just about this show on talkbears a while back. I was addicted to it. Its the funniest s*** ever. i could sit here and discuss the funny stuff you see on that show all day but Ill just get to my idea... Imagine if they spoofed this show, Chris Hansen would have to be involved, where some guy like thinks hes buying something on craigslist and shows up to a house and Chris Hanson walks out. Then, they can like plant stuff in his car like condoms and alcohol, and the best part could be, they would need a friends help, they hold up a picture of the guy and go is this you...he says yes, then they show him a picture of a man with the smallest genitalia in the world and ask him why hes sending these pictures to a 12 year old girl on the internet. Then tell them theyre calling his wife and stuff. Man, that would be the best show ever

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 11:36 AM) I've always thought of Boone's Farm as more a mixed drink than "wine". They are too sweet for me now but I'm thinking of picking some up for a retro party. Ya, theyre definitely not wine. I consider them more along the lines of a 40 of wine coolers. Occasionally I pick one up and will drink it before I start drinking beer or whatever Im drinking at my house.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 11:26 AM) Actually I've been to many, Zig Zigler, if you are into sales, is great. Dennis Waitley is very entertaining, I graduated form the Dale Carnegie 13 weeks public speaking class, and also attended their Sales Advantage Classes. Recently Gorbachev was very inspirational. Yes, anyone can walk on fire, that is the entire point. Most people do not believe they can. In fact they have people telling them why they cannot be successful. So they pay people to make them feel good about themselves. They also pay for plastic surgery, beauty make overs, watch Jerry Springer, Oprah, Dr. Phil, Dr. Laura, Rush, Hannity, O'Reilly and hundreds of others. As far as time management, etc. Been to a few of those as well. It is impossible to teach all of those in the same seminar at the same time. I've watched the rocks, gravel, pebbles, sand, and water at least half a dozen times, each time learning something new. And finally, I know a lot more about relationships having gone through a divorce than I did before. I'm certain everyone here will probably tell you the same. You really learn something when it is broken and you have to fix it. I'm not saying he had anything usefull to add, but just because someone failed doesn't make them less of a teacher or mean they have nothing to teach you. The smartest people I know all look for things to learn from everyone they meet. As I mentioned earlier my most recent was Gorbachev, I think there is a lot we could learn about politics from him, but he had a failure or two. Well, I think the issue was that he wrote the book while he was married, about how to have a perfect marriage and started marketing it right after he got divorced. So, it couldnt have been anything like, "learn from my mistakes" it was more "well look how happy I am." At least thats what I read.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 10:22 AM) What flavors is Boone's Farm offering now? Back when I was swigging from their bottles it was Tickle Pink, Apple, and something else. Snow creek berry Orange Hurricane Blue Hawaiian, are my favorites

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 10:35 AM) Those would be scams. Looking over the list of the best selling books of all time, so many titles are self help, including the book in the #1 spot. There are a great many people looking to better their lives. This approach would not work for you, so you reject it for everyone. You probably could not learn from anyone on how they achieved their success, or strategies that have worked for others. That's cool. Other people like to study what has made other people successful. Part of that studying is attending lectures given by speakers on this topic. No doubt there are some scams out there, but there have been medical scams by Medical Doctors since the beginning, but I doubt you wil call all Doctors scam artists. But maybe you would. The ones that are in the pharmaceutical companies pockets are some of the worst kind of crooks

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 10:33 AM) Sure have. Not Robbins, I was more into the sales seminars. To me it was like taking additional classes. While my competition was singing the latest rap song, watching ER, and hanging out at the bars, I was trying to get better. I didn't see much of a difference between a college professor scamming me on Shakespeare or Behaviorism and Dale Carnegie scamming me about my public speaking skills. There are a lot of misconceptions about who is in these classes. I never saw the deranged, suicidal, misfits that many people believe are there. It was almost always suits getting into company paid for cars, who paid for the seminar on their expense accounts. Maybe the one you went to was a little different. It sounds like you went there to get an edge and not to find answers to all lifes problems and some people really go for those reasons. Im not sure about all the other guys, I know that Robbins is a con artist. He literally pretends to want to help people and ultimately breaks down their self esteem and makes them think that before they got there everything they were doing was wrong and there is only one way to fix it. He literally tries to make them think they can change the outcomes of things with their minds. I normally wouldnt think twice about something like this but members of my family went and they were certified crazy people after. Ill see them doing stuff like visualizing checks coming in the mail because Robbins told them if you do that unexpected checks will come without actually doing anything. It even got to the point where my own family was attacking me for not sharing in some of these beliefs and claiming my negative attitude was preventing their success because TR told them others negative energy will hurt your progress. By negative energy, they mean, working for checks instead of visualizing them. Then, when the checks dont come, you have a reason to go back, or buy the next set of CDs to listen to. As far as the stuff like walking on coals, its like everyone said, its something that anyone can do with a short explanation on how to do it safely. Its just a gimmick and a ploy. If he really wanted to help people, he should help them learn time management, budgeting, work ethic, self confidence (and no, he absolutely does not preach this, its the opposite, he makes you feel like your a piece of s*** until youre finished with his "training") Also, Im not sure if its been mentioned in this thread, but the guy was hard core selling a book on how to make personal relationships work WHILE he was going through a divorce.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 25, 2007 -> 10:01 AM) And Robbins will agree with you 100%. The hot coals walk is to show you can achieve things your mind tells you is impossible. It is not marketed as a cure for anything. Youve went to this or something like this havent you? Im not asking to be an ass, but this is very similar to the answers I got from my family members after they went.
