G&T

That quote is awful. That's basically like saying he's above the law as long as he wins.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 03:23 PM) Out of curiousity, how far does that go? The mandatory reporters are stated in the law for each state. News agencies are not included in NY and I imagine due to the number of phony stories they get, no state requires them to do anything. Stated another way, if they acted as an independent news agency with no other motive than to report properly vetted news stories, they are immune. Or course, if they don't act independently, then there is a problem. The suspicion here might be that ESPN had the tape and sat on it because they knew it would be better for them and Syracuse financially not to report the story. However, until the facts reach the point of establishing a conspiracy to cover up the criminal act, ESPN is not going to be liable under any theory that I can think of off the top of my head. For that to happen, ESPN would need actual knowledge that the crime occurred and act in an effort to cover it up. I can't imagine those facts exist.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 02:45 PM) Is ESPN really considered a "news agency" in this case? For the purpose of the law, yes.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Nov 28, 2011 -> 01:43 PM) So out of curiosity, do they have any legal obligation to report the incident because the tape they received? No. News agencies are not mandatory reporters.

Real. Cut it down myself for the first time. Arm was a bit sore.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 07:29 PM) You're just taking what the defense is giving you then. You can't do that with a minute left and no timeouts. Then it's going to be picked anyway. Hanie isn't good and the receivers don't fight for the ball. The game was just like the NFC Championship. It's like "Hey maybe they could win with this guy!". Then reality sets in.

QUOTE (chw42 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 07:24 PM) What are they doing? Throw it towards the sidelines. The defense is guarding the sidelines. The middle is open.

Way to know the rules. Idiots.

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 07:07 PM) Yea, could've been a 10 point swing there. Martz needs to understand the limitations of Hanie. It's not just Hanie. These receivers can't get open consistently. That was an obvious run situation and Martz thinks he's going to outsmart everyone.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 06:14 PM) this team has really let Hanie down with these drops This is what they are. Cutler made these guys look decent by fitting passes into tight spots when they weren't really open and putting the ball where only they could get them. But it is clear that the receivers still suck.

Unless there is a pick 6 I don't know where points are going to come from the rest of the game.

You could have run the whole way into the endzone or take the FG for the lead. Instead you hand them points.

Jesus Christ. What a f***ing disaster.

KNOX! Beats the blitz

Gotta give credit to Hanie for making the line look decent. He has avoided the rush really nicely.

You know your offense sucks when the opponent will go for a 4th and 1 on the 40.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 04:38 PM) Do you really want Caleb Hanie audibling? Not necessarily, but I want Cutler to be able to. Or I want to see a couple of set audibles for those obvious situations.

QUOTE (Soxbadger @ Nov 27, 2011 -> 04:31 PM) The Bears need to call a screen play and get the ball into Forte's hands other ways. Cant be so predictable. That's the problem with not permitting audibles. They load the box and there's nothing anyone can do but wait for the play to fail.

Bears are sloppy. Hanie is the least of their problems.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Nov 25, 2011 -> 08:56 PM) Our new controller from Mexico has some friends that are really into the Mayan thing... to the point where they have dug tunnels and are storing food. She said that there are even more incidents then what's documented about all of this but no one is allowed to talk about it. Basically, it will all come out very close to the date so that too many can't prepare for the impending doom. So, we all only have a year to live, and we're all gonna die. Coolness. If the world is going to end, then why store food?

QUOTE (Nunnigan @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 08:37 PM) It was, and some of their "facts" didn't quite seem right To be fair, they did bring beer and it was because of water contamination which has a deep history in itself. The beer would have been "small beer" with about 3% or less abv. They drank a ton of it. Like a gallon per person per day. But that is not why they stopped. Its not like you get off a ship and restock beer anyway. They would have to brew it. Plus there would plenty of clean water on land. They didn't have enough food and people were very sick and the seas were not particularly calm. The history channel had a great documentary called the Untold Story of the Mayflower which was excellent. Long but excellent.

QUOTE (SnB @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 10:20 PM) Goose Island's Mild Winter has always been one of my favorites. I bought a sixer of it this week and it just doesn't taste the same this year. Am I alone on this? The stuff that made it out here last year was awful. I don't know if it was damaged in transit or if the beer sucks but I couldn't drink it. I assumed it was a transit problem.

QUOTE (Nunnigan @ Nov 23, 2011 -> 12:15 PM) There was a recent special on the Discovery channel about the history of beer, which was pretty interesting. The show mentioned that instead of water, the pilgrims brought barrels of beer on the journey due to the fact that it wouldnt be contaminated due to its alcohol. It was also believed that the reason the pilgrims stopped at Plymoth was because they ran out of beer. Was it How Beer Saved the World? If so, some of facts are...questionable.

Thanks for reminding me!! The bottle shops here have suddenly sprung entire cider sections that I have wanted to sample. I will have to rely on the clerk's knowledge which is hit or miss.
