  1. He was proving he isn't on steroids Remember calling a service doesn't assure you of staying out of trouble. James Worthy got busted in Dallas "getting ready for a game" with two hookers / undercover cops.
  2. Excellent post. I would like to add: It is much easier to attack a person than their ideas and opinions. Intelligent debate exposes your ideas to scrutiny and review, that scares some people. Personal attacks only exposes the attacker's shallowness. Try starting threads with "I believe", or "in my opinion" instead of "you stupid idiot".

  6. Way back when some of y'all were in diapers the Sox retired #3 Harold Baines number. This was in 1989 after 10 seasons with the White Sox. As y'all know, Baines went on to play 13 more seasons, including a couple more stints with the Sox. A quick, estimates of the numbers comparing Maggs and Baines. Interesting that it is knee troubles that seemingly having both players exiting the Sox. Baines 1300 games, 700 RBI, 190 HR, 800 RBI, .300 AVG (6yrs OF 4yrs DH) Maggs 1001 games, 624 RBI, 187 HR, 700 RBI, .307 AVG (8 yrs OF) Great summary of Baines career
  7. Whomever built that site really took the time to make it believable.
  8. JR sent a very nice letter to my son congratulating him. (thank you Steff) Of all the letters he received, JRs was one of the nicest. All of my contacts with the organization have been positive. My family would always offer Sox tickets whenever charities would hit us up for prizes for golf outings, raffles, etc. The team was always supportive and went out of their way to make it even better. Having said all that, I'd rather they be assholes and win 5 or 6 WS.
  9. Kerry limits his greetings mostly to his constituents. Kerry did send a congratulations message to my son for earning Eagle Scout rank. BTW, if Kerry attended before the election, some would call it a shallow campaign move. These guys really cannot win with some people.
  10. http://apnews.myway.com/article/20041203/D86OD2TG1.html Small government GOP. 150 times the cost, 8 times the inspectors. I wonder if these numbers are correct. Maybe that should be 15 million.
  11. Chocolate and a nice glass of port is also a killer combination.
  12. It's the car's location in sunny south Texas
  13. ND must lead the nation in out clauses. Didn't Lou have an out clause to take the ND job? It seems like I only here out clauses and ND
  14. I felt Florida was a better fit for him. I wouldn't take the ND job at this junction in the road. If Ty was as bad as the University says he was, i.e. recruiting, the cupboard is bare, and if 3 years is the turnaround time, OUCH.
  15. Depending on position, some transportation expenses are deductible. When I was a full time salesperson, all my business miles and expenses were deductible. It would make sense to not use post tax income for those expenses. Because, in the end, it would be deducted. It would seem that this would streamline the end of the year reporting and simplify returns. Now if his position would not qualify for taking a deduction for travel, it would seem to be wrong. This seems to be a natural expansion of the health care funds.
  16. RIP Bush attending anything turns it into a media event. I am not so certain I would want the President, as in any President, at my son or daughter's funeral. I do not believe this is out of any cowardness or callousness that he has not attended any of the funerals.
  17. I believe Bravo is being viewed as a Gay network. Queer Eye for the Straight Guy and Manhunt jump to mind. And wasn't the reality show where some of the guys were straight and some were guy on Bravo? It certainly ain't SpikeTV or Lifetime
  18. If insider trading was not against the rules, then it was, they wouldn't ban you retroactively. Spitballs were legal, then not. They didn't put * on the records of the spitball pitchers. If you were convicted of assault would they ban you for life? Finally, should the penalty be worse for steroids or heroin? Steroids or pot? Steroids or corking a bat? I would adopt a banned for life for using steroid rule for the player's protection.
  19. I knew him when he was just a kid . . . My fear is I will be the 98 year old Sox fan they interview when the White Sox finally win a WS.
  20. I could understand advertisers shying away from shows, but not as much other advertisements. I could see some businesses not buying Will & Grace, but not buying Seinfeld because a Church ad is also running, may be a stretch. In fact, I could see some advertisers, if a controversy really got going, asking the traffic director for placement next to the controversial ad for maximum exposure. I do not believe there is much "guilt by association" with other ads as there is with programming. They place beer ads next to car commercials. You would think the car companies would care about stuff like that.
  21. You know you are old when walking through a museum you exclaim, I remember having one of those when I was a kid . . .
