Why's it a f***tard move? Probably more of an Apple decision than a Verizon decision (that a carrier wants the iPhone and would start selling it if they had the chance should be a given)

Halladay looks so nonchalant in his interview like he doesn't really give a s*** that he just did something epic.

The Patriots do blow draft picks and reach on s***ty players just like any other team.

Verizon to get iPhone in 2011

I agree they probably should have put it out and then billed him to the max, but he sort of deserved it for taking a gamble that failed. How will people learn if you bail them out of their mistakes all the time? He was aware of the lack of fire coverage, and aware of the opt in fee to BE covered by a neighboring town to which he paid no taxes. He chose. Poorly. Yeah, the way he went about it was pretty stupid. I still think opt-in fire service is a terrible idea, though.

Whenever the Democrats get a cookie like that they just wave at it like Josh Fields on a fastball. If they weren't so incompetent and scared of their own shadow I'd be a registered Democrat.

Good thing people follow the rules here because I tried to start another one of these and this dude just randomly posted the entire text of the Magna Carta.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 09:38 PM) b****es usually don't let you get to second base, and the Bears sure didn't have their hands on anyone long enough to be considered getting to second base... maybe the comparison is more apt than I though. Comparing a b**** to a ho - a ho will f*** everybody but a b**** will f*** everybody but you.

I'm no quarterback but the proper progression is to read pre-snap and if you don't see blitz, which the Giants weren't, do the full 7-step drop, then read deep and work your way in. When your protection is getting obliterated by 4 down linemen when you're in max protect (there are no circumstances by which this is ever acceptable btw) you're pretty much guaranteed to fail. Cutler may have thrown an incompletion, a pick, or a 2-yard checkdown to someone who probably just blew a block.

My co-worker tried to pass blame onto me for something that was 100% her fault (she keeps blowing my deadlines, and sent me something a day late 5 minutes before I had to leave early after I mentioned that about 3 times while I was playing catch-up from all the other late s*** she submitted while I was trying to work) with my boss in the CC line. I was going to reply to all with something snarky since my boss already knows the deal, and we'd just had a conversation with this bulls*** on Friday, but instead I just pretended to accept blame while mentioning the time I got her e-mail, then forwarded the same e-mail to my boss and said "it's kinda cramped here under this f***ing bus." I'm getting pretty tired of this s***, I think she's mad at me because about a month ago I got tired of delaying everything on account of her procrastination and just published the thing with her s*** blank (after I told my boss I had to do it). lol. She is a slow learner.

I wish I had something clever to mark this first post with but I don't. Maybe someone will say something that I can edit and put here and I'll pretend I did it.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 10:23 PM) Extra pink on the NFL uniforms this weekend got me wondering if the Bears O-line thought it would be sexual harassment to touch the people across from them during the Giants game... A friend of mine said the pink made the Bears linemen look like "b****es," I pointed out they didn't need the pink to do that.

When I drive to work I go past an "Ehrlich for Governor" sign with a big confederate flag under it. I know what they think that's supposed to mean when people see it but when I see it, it's just... not. Imagine a voice saying this in your head: "WE NEED TO TAKE BACK AMURRICA FROM DEM DAM LIBRUL SOSHAL-LISTS N DA TARISTS RUNNIN DIS COUNTRY SO WE CAN LIVE BY DA CONSTERTUSHIN AGAIN AND GET THE DAM GUBMINT IN OUR LIVES AN LOWER OW-UR TASSES TA KEEP DEM DAMN COLORED FOLK N MESSI-CANS FROM MOOCHIN OFF US HARD WORKIN' 'MERRICANS, AN GET DA GUBMINT OUTTA OW-UR LIVES!" I'm sure people object to this but that's just what I see. It just is.

Libertarianism run amok here. I've heard the idea of pay-per-service for fire before and it's such a terrible idea. I had trouble explaining why until this happened.

QUOTE (Alpha Dog @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 06:21 PM) Because they can't win on the issues. Even when they have facts, they are so unconfident in those facts that they exagerate them to try and make their point even more and then end up looking foolish. lol, I could easily say this about virtually anyone running for office at any given time.

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Oct 5, 2010 -> 04:06 PM) So they bench tommie harris and cut mark anderson, our D-Line is becoming just as big of a wreck as our O-Line minus 1 individual. Not really unless Chris Williams is in fact Jake Long (i.e., Julius Peppers)

Olin Kreutz: ‎"To rectify the problem, we have to f***ing block people. That's not hard to figure out."

And there are several others I could think of too.

QUOTE (whitesoxfan99 @ Oct 4, 2010 -> 04:40 PM) Well even when the OL was good back in 06 it was obvious they needed to start rebuilding the line because guys like Ruben Brown, Tait, etc. were all old and towards the end of their careers and yet he did nothing to address the situation. That is inexcusable. He never even tried. Every draft, except the one where they picked Williams, I've been completely livid. It's like he is drafting for a completely different team, and in 2007 when the need first became obvious he tried to stick it out with that old unit for one more year. Fred Miller had already passed "done" status, Kreutz was beginning to decline, Tait and Brown were running on fumes. He tries to get cute with his middle round picks too much drafting people nobody's ever heard of (umm... because nobody's heard of them, this means they'll be there later in the draft) and I think the later ones he just throws a f***ing dart at a board. Every year the line somehow gets worse.
