To those who say Cowherd is intelligent, he said a few years ago that he'd take Mark Sanchez over Aaron Rodgers all day...and this is an NFL expert, lol

Colin Cowherd is easily the most annoying ESPN talking head and that's saying something.

What a pathetic Mexican National Team this current side is. Forget losing vs the US in American soil, that's understandable but not getting it done against, let's face it, crappy teams is what has sunk Mexico's chances at getting to the WC. What an absolute disaster if Mexico doesn't qualify. Hundreds of millions of dollars is what the FEMEXFUT, Mexican television and other business tied to soccer will lose down here...OTOH, la seleccion nacional doesn't grab the ratings they once did, I watched half of the game last night because I had other stuff to do and there was a lot of people in the streets going about their business. I remember a time in the 90s when I lived here where any game by the National Team would leave the streets empty and everyone glued to their TVs, looks like those days are long gone, people down here are mostly meh about this team. The Mexican soccer press is in full meltdown though

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Aug 28, 2013 -> 05:31 PM) I don't know why. If they can get just 15-20 minutes a game from Oden and have him healthy for the playoffs (I know, huge if) it's more over than ever. I know if was over three years ago. But he was beastin' on the boards and defensively in about 22 MPG. Everything else has gone right for the Heat the last 7-8 years. I'm sure this will, too. I'll eat my underware if Oden lasts the whole season...

He'll be on the Heat exactly what he was in Portland, a millionaire benchwarmer. He's done.

QUOTE (farmteam @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 11:24 PM) The Bridge is moving along. Still liking it. I'm hooked on this show, it's gotten good reviews on metacritic and the show is supposed to take off after the 4th episode according to critics who got a private screening of the entire first season.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Jul 25, 2013 -> 11:29 AM) I'm surprised they've kept Chepo around as long as they have. They've looked disastrous for a while now. With a really tough close to the WCQs, they might have to play New Zealand for that last spot in the WC To be honest, I haven't followed the WCQs all that closely, soccer is my least favorite team sport after baseball, football, basketball and hockey, pretty much in that order ( which is kinda odd as me being Mexican-American but I was born and raised in Chicago ). I have seen the sports media here having a fit over the impotence of this Mexican National Team's performance and they lament the fact that Team USA is clearly the superior side now in CONCACAF I'm not so sure changing De La Torre would change that dynamic but maybe they'd at least stop losing to Panama. Gold Cup prediction USA 3 Panama 1

QUOTE (Rowand44 @ Jul 24, 2013 -> 10:59 PM) Good job Mexico. Really, two straight losses to...Panama. The sports press down here are going nuts and they want Chepo De La Torre gone yesterday.

This will be my last post here but one thing that has really bothered me from the start is...why didn't Zimmerman identify himself prior to it getting physical? He had ample opportunities? "Hello, my name is George, I'm from Neighborhood Watch, I'm on patrol right now. May I ask where are you going and are you visiting someone here? Sorry but I've never seen you before?" Who here doesn't believe that wouldn't difuse the situation right then and there? IMO, that thwarts any burglary attempt if it wasn't TM on that night but a would be robber and obviously Martin would explain that he was just getting to his dad's gf's house. That is all that would've taken. But no, GZ just kept following TM, they eyeballed each other a few times and it never occured to GZ to identify himself. Seems to me Zim wasn't interested in preventing a crime but actually help arrest a criminal (TM must've been guilty of something). I know Neighborhood Watch programs are designed to prevent crime by reporting suspicious activity, not actually stopping a crime in progress, I think GZ wanted to be a hero that night and an innocent kid is dead because of it. I don't know about you but I wouldn't feel safe with a neighbor like that. Lastly, maybe Z isn't guilty according to our laws but he damn sure is morally/ethically...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 09:29 AM) Seems to me this case is going to be one of the times we are thankful this country has two systems in which they can prosecute another. There was not enough evidence to state that Zimmerman killed Martin in cold blood, and frankly, he was doing what he needed to ensure he was not killed, thus, they could not convict him criminally of this crime. But, had Zimmerman not gotten involved, Martin would still be alive, so there is absolutely a wrongful death involved here. I'm guessing the civil suit is going to be much stronger and much more likely to lead to a conviction. As has been mentioned, Zimmerman was found not guilty, which is not the same as innocent. We know he shot and killed Martin. Due to the level of guilt, if tried in a civil court, he very well could/should be found guilty and the Zimmerman family will owe a great deal of money to the Martin family. I don't feel that letting Zimmerman out would be the same as letting Jason Holmes out. This isn't a psychotic lunatic who is bound to kill again. I believe he was a vigilante who got in over his head and made a snap decision that cost another human being their life, and that is incredibly unfortuante. He should still be tried civilly, because there is absolutely some level of guilt here that should be dealt with. I disagree, Z has a history of violence. He had to take anger management classes. He beat his former gf. He's been called a Jekyll and Hyde by a co-worker(s). He had a run-in with a law enforcement officer. There's his altercation with a Daniel Osmun. A neighbor accused Z of repeatedly stalking him, right up to his front door. He was called overly aggressive as a security guard...something like this was bound to happen sooner or later (especially since this moron had a gun). This is a guy with issues, he's prone to making terrible decisions, he has a gun, believe me, this won't be the last time we hear him getting in trouble.

QUOTE (Y2HH @ Jul 15, 2013 -> 09:14 AM) It shows the government that you speak of isn't above writing laws that will harm a person, financially...OR physically. It baffles me how you'd think they'd be ok writing laws that allow them to steal in the financial markets, but they'd stop short of writing laws that you're speaking of now. Sorry I had to connect the dots for you. Perhaps it's high time you start thinking for yourself now. I love how Y2HH was pontificating about avoiding this thread because of the insults being hurled by both sides and then without provocation, throws an insult at another poster...hooray for consistency

QUOTE (Cknolls @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 04:58 PM) And he caught him? in a chase? you guys are really soft in here if you believe this tub of goo caught a 17 yr kid. Please someone answer WHy didn't Martin just go home? Fair question and honestly it was a fatal mistake by TM. Another question, why didn't GZ identify himself as Watch Captain immediately to try and diffuse the situation. We know one of GZ's versions is BS, the one that says TM ambushed him from behind some bushes since there aren't any bushes in the area where the fight broke out.

QUOTE (Milkman delivers @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 03:43 PM) Did those guys bash your head into the concrete? Because that makes things much different. And the cuts he had after the event support it, your irrelevant opinion aside. Your opinion is as irrelevant as mine, you weren't there either. Yeah, his head injuries were so severe he refused to go to the hospital...

QUOTE (zenryan @ Jul 12, 2013 -> 02:47 PM) You obviously have no clue on what youre talking about here. It isnt that easy to get someone off of you from that position if youre getting punched in the face when you have no idea how to defend yourself. And he wasnt taking MMA lessons. He was doing basically cardio workouts at a MMA gym. The gym owner even said he didnt do anything more than punch a heavy bag. He didnt do any MMA type workouts/grappling. Have you ever gotten in a fight? I've fought bigger guys than me and never had to resort to killing someone. You don't think it entirely possible that Zim is exaggerating just what a killing machine that teenager was? I'm of the opinion that he used unneccesary force, his injuries weren't that serious, so sue me...
