Oh and Rivera's conviction was overturned by an appellate court recently:

This is a nauseating article. Closeted, echo-chamber worlds, a complete disregard for justice over winning, and some of the most bizarre theories I've heard. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/27/magazine...ribonucleicacid Thankfully, this SA is resigning.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 13, 2011 -> 11:12 AM) I see the Broncos offense with Tebow kind of like the wildcat offense that was all the rage a few years back. It will do ok for a while and than teams will adjust to it. This is a throwing league. The Bears dominated that offense for about 52 minutes. Then they went with soft zones and really dumb/bad offensive plays that gave the Broncos the ball back.

The one I see is the Nov 8.6% number being charted at the same height as the 9.0% right next to it.

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 07:57 PM) Hmm. I'm not sure I agree with Mr. Southsider here. I think most people really don't understand the underpinnings of the American financial system. Maybe I'm naive. Did anyone really understand all of the mortgage-backed securities?

I'm going to dump another "lol Fox" screen cap here. Like I said, you can't really compare their level of ridiculousness to anyone else.

QUOTE (Tex @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 01:47 PM) I have. Awesome book. It pains me that they crossed so unprepared. Any first year Boy Scout would have survived that trip. My wife had him for a border lit class at UIC. Supposedly they were in the process of making a movie, but I never heard much about it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 01:37 PM) Enjoying a kid who is going to have autism? Damn dude. Yeah but dumb ideas like what those parents have lead to other children who can't be vaccinated becoming seriously ill or even dying. So I get the "I told you so" attitude.

It's not like the Packers have blown everybody out. They've had some close games and have some obvious flaws.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 12:03 PM) If Cutler doesn't get hurt they are probably 10-3 right now. So I don't really think that was bathing in kool-aid. They were playing well. Playing anything above "completely terrible" on offense would have won each of the last three games.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 11:00 AM) I'm not saying he's the best ever or anywhere close. I was mostly just giving Bear fans a hard time. Why? No one in this thread has done anything but acknowledge GB's dominance this year.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 10:51 AM) This gives me a thread idea... Ways in which our broken financial system more closely resembles a casino?

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Dec 12, 2011 -> 10:39 AM) So Aaron Rodgers isn't that good? He just has really good WR. Aaron Rodgers is ridiculously good and has he really good WR's.

Tex, have you ever read The Devil's Highway? I think you might enjoy it.

So what do people think was the most amazing of Tim Tebow’s many amazing plays today? Tebow kicking a 59-yard field goal Tebow ordering the Bears secondary to play no particular attention to sideline routes late in the 4th quarter against a team trailing by a touchdown with no timeouts Tebow forcing Marion Barber to run out of bounds when staying in bounds would have effectively ended the game Tebow forcing a Marion Barber fumble Tebow kicking a 51-yard field goal So many candidates!

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 11, 2011 -> 06:48 PM) I guess I dont agree with going that conservative so early in the quarter. I know Hanie sucks, but obviously Tebow has followed this exact same blueprint multiple times this season and he did it again because he was given the chance But the plan works if barber doesn't go out of bounds for no reason.

Stfu they scraped together 13 points with an ot thanks to two horrendous plays by barber.
