The theory that I have read is along this line: gays are saying, if we can't marry, then no one can marry. Eliminate the institute of marriage. Just trying to add some clarity.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 05:47 PM) You know, hearing that both Fine AND Sanduskys wives knew what was going on is so sickening and both of them should be tried for aiding and abetting. I know thats probably a wrong charge and im probably saying the wrong thing, but goddamnit kids lives were ruined and these women just turned their heads and kept on living their lives like nothing was wrong No. It's the head coachs' fault.

I am really hating Miami now.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 02:22 PM) There are hundreds. Of course we can agree to disagree at this point. Part of being a hypocrite would be that Mark would turn down the opportunity to do what he has always said he wanted to do. Since there are no offers from the one team he wanted to stay with and none from teams near his hometown, he is stuck negotiating with teams that actually want him and appreciate him. That not hypocrisy, thats called job hunting. It didn't take long to find someone I agree with.

If I were a betting man, I would say Sandusky will be dead within a year from his own hands.

Pretty pessimistic Corn.

It's blocked for me.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 12:35 PM) And allow me to clarify. I won't be angry when he signs elsewhere (unless it's the Yankees, Red Sox or Cubs, which is true for any player). But he WILL be a hypocrite. Not even close. Ever walk into a store epecting to buy one thing and come out with something different? He didn't have all the facts before. Easy to understand priorities changing.

When was the last time Mark spoke with other teams about playing there? So he gets out away from Chicago, starts hearing what is available and makes a new decision based on this new knowledge. Happens all the time with people.

QUOTE (NorthSideSox72 @ Dec 7, 2011 -> 08:45 AM) I see the inevitable has begun. A hearsay-hearsay rumor published by a guy we all know to hate KW, says supposedly a guy told a guy that the Sox won't match an offer. This was taken as bible (when it probably isn't even true), and then we've somehow also preternaturally seen that Mark will sign for the most money with some distant team. And that in turn has become, he's obviously an asshole who only cares about money. Seriously, some of you guys are like paranoid girlfriends. Maybe we should... I don't know... wait to see what actually happens? Instead of going down this road based on friggin Cowley's double-hearsay rumor?

I love Favre and the interest he can generate.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 02:04 PM) And that hardly qualifies him for the Hall Of Fame, which is something a lot of people in Chicago don't seem to comprehend. He was also one of best at his position while he played, I thought everyone already understood that. I was also adding that for the next 30 years no one has surpassed that.

I'll complain when I actually see Dunn in the field more.

If you compare Santo to his peers, he begins to look much better. Plus defensively, he covered his position. No doubt he was a bubble candidate. One of those that there are great reasons for, and against.

Lucky I live in the land of friendly, helpful people.

Just want to know more?

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 09:09 PM) It sounded like you were taking it personally. I like the Harry Potter movies, to be honest. I just wouldn't ever take them seriously enough to list any bad guys from them as villains. And that is probably the difference. I viewed him as a literary villian because I think of the books first. You think of the movies.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Dec 5, 2011 -> 06:45 PM) I wans't questioning the validity. It just seems too young for guys posting on this site to vote for. We all grew up with Disney villains. Harry Potter came out when most of us were 20+. In a list that has Cruella deVille, a Potter villians seem perfectly in character. The Harry Potter franchise changed YA literature and will be as classic as Disney to your grandkids. If anything, we're ahead of the curve in placing him on our list.

Hey, seriously, have you ever experienced poor service in a National Park, from a NPS employee (not a concessionaire)? Post office? DMV? I can't think of a time.

Frankly speaking, I have almost always experienced great service from government employees. From National Park Rangers, Passports, Post Office, CIA, ATF, FBI, they all rock in my book.

And I kind of prefer he leave on his own free will than get kicked to the curb like Frank.

I am at the point that I just wish Mark all the best. He deserves a fat paycheck for the next few years. It is always a gamble, but I would gamble on Mark giving his usual consistent season. I'd go with the high bidder and let it ride.

I clicked on a golf thread, so maybe, yeah.
