Term Limits
Bloomberg will definitely get voted back in FWIW. He's very popular over here, and there's nothing like having a billionaire in charge in the current economic crisis. His rationale is he thinks he's the only one who can fix it.

Video Game Catch-All Thread
QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:59 AM) Keep in mind that a lot of the games that you would want aren't on VC (Virtual Console - where you buy it online). i don't believe Goldeneye is - most third party games aren't because the third party wants a large share of the profits. Oh that sucks. I'll see what's on there anyways, thanks for the heads up.

QUOTE (kyyle23 @ Oct 1, 2008 -> 11:06 AM) The newer the game, the more space they take up. You arent going to be able to get a lot of N64 games Hopefully that Wii harddrive comes out soon, there are too many games I want to play I probably only want GoldenEye and that WCW/NWO Revenge game at this stage. All in all, I'm looking to spend just over $400 for the Wii, Mario Kart, Super Mario Galaxy, a few N64 games and some extra controllers / nunchuks (via E-Bay). Pretty good overall package I think.

I'm going to get about 4000 points I think, and get the Internet, and a few N64 games on top of that. It was actually really easy to set-up my internet connection through my wireless network actually, so that was pleasing.

Video Game Catch-All Thread
So a few questions with the Wii; 1 - Do you have to buy the Internet Channel to actually use the Internet? 2 - How much are points to buy? And how much would old N64 games such as Golden Eye cost?

Mr. Tallon...tear down that Wall
My guess is he'll still go to Los Angeles. Gerber and Auld is a decent duo for Ottawa, but they could still upgrade obviously. Either way, I think Tallon should of handled this situation better, but to me Huet will provide an upgrade on what the Bulin Wall has produced for the Hawks.

QUOTE (GoSox05 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 12:54 PM) The Packers Cullen Jenkins will miss the rest of the year with a torn pectoral muscle. Big loss for them, their defense suddenly looks quite shaky. All of a sudden the NFC North may be wide open.

QUOTE (SoxFan562004 @ Sep 30, 2008 -> 02:00 PM) That's how much my tickets were and they are very good floor seats. I was pretty happy with the prices We're in the Press Box for where Sporting Events are, Row A Tier 300, fairly close to the stage apparently. Wonder if Noel Gallagher will go apes*** if someone jumps up on stage again (after Toronto).

Got tickets to see Oasis at the Garden on Dec 17 today for $60, and also am seeing Kings of Leon in Philly in November.

Minnesota @ Chicago - One Game Playoff
Well it's basically come down to how our young pitchers will do on the mound to determine if we make the playoffs this season. They've done the job all season, and Gavin pitched great on 3 days rest last night, now it's time for Danksy to do the same. I like our chances tonight, even though the Twins have had our measure recently. Time for some payback.

Alexei Ramirez
It'd be nice if he got some recognition, but it's been amazing to see how far he has come this season. If we signed Orlando Hudson, we could have argubly the best 2B/SS combo in the game from next season. I hope it gets done.

Talking Tough both sides
All I know, is that I'm much happier that we're playing them at the Cell instead of the Dome. It's a BIG night for our power hitters, especially the middle of the lineup. They need to produce, and with Blackburn's recent form, they should have some chances to.

QUOTE (rangercal @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 02:01 PM) same can be said for the redskins. Better execution and they win by 14+ I'd have to rank the NFC east as follows Giants Redskins Cowboys Eagles I'm confident we'll still finish top. Why Garrett abandoned the run I don't know, but I think yesterday was more of a wake-up call than anything. On paper, we should be better than the Redskins for sure.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Sep 29, 2008 -> 10:22 AM) What strategy? The strategy of having an elite offense with multiple Pro Bowlers on it? I wonder why more teams haven't tried that, it seems to work. Well the Bears D used to be "elite" and teams would just struggle to put up points against them at all. And then when Mike Brown went down and you had Archuleta in at safety, and Chris Harris got traded (playing at a pro bowl level for Carolina now BTW), teams saw a weakness in the secondary and just decided, no we're not going to run against Tommie Harris and co., we'll just pass the ball al day long. And last season it worked, and McNabb has pretty decent success last night also. Philly really should have done better last night, better red zone conversion and they win last night.

QUOTE (StrangeSox @ Sep 26, 2008 -> 08:41 AM) There's some good songs on the new CD (like Sex on Fire, I think that's the first one they played), but overall its just very...blah. If you like that song, you should check out either of their first two albums. They said they wanted to be the "American Coldplay". So there's you problem. I took think there's not enough Rock'N'Roll on there, and that's when the band is at its best.

The thing is, the Bears rate 28th against the pass. Other teams have worked out, the best way to the beat the Bears, is just to throw non-stop against them. Ever since Dallas beat the Bears with that strategy, their defense just hasn't been the same IMHO. So I don't know if they'd trade a CB right now.
