Good thing we let him cross the border.

The US has an outstanding tradition in network news anchors and he was one of the best.

QUOTE(Brian @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 09:08 PM) The media loves New York and Mariano Rivera is lights out. He does have strong credientials, but do we want to start the whole Relief v. Starter debate?

QUOTE(NUKE_CLEVELAND @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 07:33 PM) I was a refugee from the fascist purge of WSI a few years ago. Some of the people there started talking about Soxnet and Soxtalk, I made the switch and never looked back.

QUOTE(TheDybber @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 08:56 PM) I think I would have to go with Buehrle for two reasons...one, better ERA and two, better career. It shouldn't matter, but I think it does. But, i also wonder if Garland and Buehrle would split the vote? Saved me some typing. I'm more worried about the votes getting split and someone > slipping in. Kind of like Pods getting in over two Yankmees

Our system works. I'm not really concerned about his politics. I am more concerned about issues of character and integrity. I may not agree with his politics, but so far I have not seen anything that should keep him off the bench.

Now you have another secret handshake to learn

QUOTE(DukeNukeEm @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 05:36 PM) In all Honesty. That is the most f***ed up post, in a forum filled with f***ed up posts, I have ever read. Next you'll be saying guys who drive Lexus deserve to be carjacked, women wearing diamonds deserve to be robbed. No one deserves to be a victim of a crime. By saying they deserve it, you are defending the perpetrators. Defending the person or person's who murdered someone in cold blood because the victim was drunk is just so f***ed up. :puke

It is interesting you would mention tourism. International tourism has been a huge industry for the US. With our increasing anti-foreign attitudes, how will that effect the economy?

Another example of the media making something out of a normal everyday event. Workplace romance, divorce, kids growing up in blended families. But since it happened with a media member and an athlete instead of an accountant and a secretary, it's front page news. How about covering the other couple thousand cheating spouses and the fallout?

We took over Iraq and all the terrorists where there.No worries mate.

Juggs, work some numbers for me. How many terrorists are in the world? What is the world population? What is the probablity that any single person is a terrorists? Are you including "home grown" terrorists like McVeigh, Nichols, John Walker Lindh? Now how much should we change our policies to protect ourselves from this threat? How many people should suffer compared to how many people may be a terrorist?

I was more thinking of groups where guys had no influence or were interchangeable. Fleetwood Mac was as much Mick and Lindsay as the ladies. AFAIK, there were no guys as regular, contributing members of Heart. I was trying to come up with a "strictly female" band or duo. If we are just talking female rockers than Pretenders, Fleetwood Mac, Benetar, would all be strong leaders.

QUOTE(LosMediasBlancas @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 01:09 PM) Ok I'll bite, how did that happen? Your wallet was probably in the back pocket of your pants, which are around your ankles near the floor. You were sitting on the toilet, so it's probably air tight, with no room for anything to fall into it. Please explain. Anyone want to guess the story really starts with . . . so this girl walks into the bathroom . . .

I can't wait for Ozzie to pitch run Konerko.

No one "deserves" to be a victim of a crime. She didn't "deserve" it anymore than a guy in a nice suit deserves to get mugged. What she did was place herself, by making some very stupid choices, into a very dangerous situation. I've stopped listening to the coverage, but has there been any mention of "date rape drugs"? I agree the media attention is all out of wack and I find it puzzling. The only good I can think of is I hope people learn a lesson here. If you kill someone, hide the body really, really, well. I mean don't make stupid drunk choices.

I think Crede knows he doesn't have a career as a DH. Now when Ozzie bats Garland and DHs for Crede, then Joe may have a b****.

QUOTE(IlliniKrush @ Aug 4, 2005 -> 11:15 PM) First got one in late 2000, now on my second phone. Just another tidbit - most people at school don't use any sort of land line in their apartment/house or what not. Universities have lost a great revenue stream because of cell phones.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Aug 5, 2005 -> 11:01 AM) I'll go even one better. I used to have a bag phone. One of those that you had to plug into the cigarette lighter to use. My first one (circa 1984?) was a hard wired Panasonic ($1,500 2-year lease) model with an available "portable" kit for another $300 (didn't buy it). I paid $100 to move it from my sweet Cougar to a New Yorker. IIRC usage was about $.45 per minute through Ameritec. I had a huge 240 minute package. Motorola Brick portable followed Motorola "flip" that plugged into the car and could be used as a portable. Then the cheap stuff hit and I've probably gone through a dozen phones.

QUOTE(kyyle23 @ Aug 7, 2005 -> 09:48 AM) why does this matter to anyone? Welcome to SL&P where the brushing of teeth produced a 128 post thread. Didn't electric win?
