QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:36 AM) I certainly believe some of the local newspaper columnists read us. No doubt. Many things have ended up in columns. Some articles more intact than others.

QUOTE(mreye @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:33 AM) I started doing it recently. I have no idea why. That would explain the recent influx of children...

From the thread about the Sox having a charity wiffle ballgame with disadvantaged kids. The quote robinventura23

QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:14 AM) That's awesome. Definate Quote of the Month material.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:27 AM) I also think it's cool how they'll be passing out donuts and such to the fans waiting in line for tickets on Friday. Yeah that is a great idea. I spent many a cold days out there waiting for tickets.

The Lions put out a retort today saying that they weren't going to release Harrington, they don't owe him a roster bonus, the coach wasn't forced out, FWIW.

QUOTE(sox-r-us @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:23 AM) Robbie Alomar is still looking for a job and we all know the hard on Kenny has for him Robbie Alomar signed weeks ago

QUOTE(ChiSoxyGirl @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 11:13 AM) Beaver fur will NEVER go out of style. Or do I mean furry beavers?

And that is awesome.

KW I doubt. There are players who check out the site, I know that for a fact. If I had to guess, I wouldn't be surprised if the PR dept keeps an eye on us and WSI. I would be willing to bet if anything interesting gets said, it does get passed up the ladder though.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:28 AM) Okay I got my facts wrong but as of 2003 the United States defense budget is 11 times as big as the next largest, Great Britain and I'm certain in the last two years this budget has risen. Although I also remember reading recently that they wanted to make budget cuts? http://www.clw.org/milspend/ushighestbudget.html http://www.scoop.co.nz/mason/stories/HL0401/S00066.htm Bush proposed $60 billion in cuts in defense.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) Sure the US has helped us in the past and such but today is a new day. It's time to move on and be more progressive. And progressive isn't having a defense budget of over a trillion dollars. The defense budget isn't anywhere near a trillion dollars

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:21 AM) You know what? I'm getting out of here. I'm getting too pissed. I get tired of mother f***ers bad mouthing the USof A while their country is benefitting just due to our mere presence ... or in the case of the uupity bastards in France, it irregardless of the fact that they'd be goose stepping to a different drummer than Canada would. Easy YAS Go take a lap.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:12 AM) You don't think so? If it wasn't for "Seward's Folly" Alaska would have been part of the USSR during the cold war. They were expansionists. You figured out where they would have expanded to. No wait ... your national health care policy would have been deterrent enough. Which the irony of that is, their entire health system would collapse if it wasn't for American consumers paying higher drug prices so that the rest of the world doesn't have to pay as much for them. American consumers are paying literally subsidizing the R&D and drug prices for the entire world.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 10:06 AM) There's a difference between hating a country and hating its government and policies. Sure there is. The people like tourists enough to take their money. There is a little more incentive for them to like people vs the government. It makes it a little more pallatable.

QUOTE(KipWellsFan @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:56 AM) Okay many Canadians hate America but I hope you're not saying I do. Because I love America but I just think it's f***ed up in many ways. I have no idea what you think honestly. But after reading stuff about Canada's attitude towards the US, I sure am adverse to supporting the economy of them. Why would I give money to someone who hates me? No thanks. I'll keep my tourist dollars here in the US. There is plenty to see and do here.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:55 AM) Thank you. Was it necessary to do that before the upgrade? Yes it was.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:50 AM) America would be up in arms if Canada got invaded. At least, that's the way I feel. But then, the more tell us about Canadiens feel about the US, the less I like you guys. Definately. After hearing this kind of stuff, I don't want to go back again. I loved Toronto, Niagra, and Windsor, but if Canadians have that much hate for us, I sure don't give them my money.

QUOTE(babybearhater @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) hey guys, I need two more tickets to saturday's event, anyone know of any extra's???? PM me. I think I have two extras.

QUOTE(Leonard Zelig @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) Maybe they would give up Jose Valentin. He would fill our utility IF hole rather well. Why is my green not working? You didn't close the tag. After you use color, you have to hit close all tags at the end

QUOTE(YASNY @ Jan 13, 2005 -> 09:42 AM) They're saying 1st offense brings 10 games. I would imagine a "mysterious" 10 game suspension would 'out' him. If I read it right, it is "upto" 10 games. I don't know what the minimum punishment is for a first time offense. That is another reason why the NFL has it right. All offenses are judged equally. There are no exceptions or wiggle room.
