Posted Saturday October 25, 2008, About: Why Pacman won't play in '08

I'd lean more towards saying Pacman won't play period. Who's gonna pick him up in '09?

Posted Saturday October 25, 2008, About: Another fine mess for Plaxico

The supreme court just put through a new ruling, thunderdragon. Freedom of speech is now reserved only for people who know how to spell and conjugate verbs.

Him and about 50% of the rest of the American population. If it wasn't performance enhancing, I couldn't care less.

Then again, if you give me Santy's game check I'll come deliver an inspiring speech about the perils of marijuana to the rest of the team. Take note, Tomlin, I'm one heck of an orator.

Not everybody's gone. I for one just clicked on your profile to get a better look at that picture.

Posted Friday October 24, 2008, About: Suggs drawing unwanted scrutiny

Blows my mind that a team can have so much talent at LB that Suggs and Scott could be considered trade-bait. I'm not a Ravens fan, but from what I've seen those two are monsters. Of course, going on TV and saying stupid things isn't very impressive, but that's a pair of great pass rushers, Ed Reed Fan.

Did you just equate Al Davis to Jerry Jones?

Posted Friday October 24, 2008, About: Manning's staph infection scare

Epidemic? Nah, staph infections are nothing new. Neither is Kellen Winslow crying about something that everyone else deals with like men.

Yep, that's right. Off-topic jab at Winslow. Ahhh, I feel better now.

Posted Friday October 24, 2008, About: Cowher & Simms critical of Cowboys

I doubt Cowher's headed for big D. I do agree though that Phillips has done a poor job translating all that talent into a the Super-Bowl-worthy team they should be. Honestly, with that many stars on the roster they should be a powerhouse with or without Romo.

Posted Friday October 24, 2008, About: Favre plays defense with Lions call

Color me unimpressed with this story. He had a conversation with Millen, then admitted it to a reporter. Typical Favre, admitting to something publicly that could be misconstrued in a big way. What I find much more interesting is the fact that Favre's actually given me a reason to root for a team from New York.

Never thought it was possible...

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Vick's failed leniency letter

When I was a teenager I worked in a meat packing plant. I don't need to do research, I've seen it with my own eyes.

Cruelty is about intent. When a wolf tears a living rabbit apart, it isn't about cruelty. When a human slaughters an animal for food, that isn't about cruelty either.

The real hypocrite in this case is the person blindly defending Vick's actions because they like him as a person. If you say ignorance is bliss, WDB, I'll take your word for it, you seem to be in a position of authority on THAT issue.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Canseco: A-Rod got off hook

Good lord, he's writing another book?

Man, it's depressing sometimes to think about how much less money I make than people like Canseco (who I have no respect for).

Maybe I should look into becoming a corrupt politician while I'm still young. I hear there's good cash in that.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Petrino's bizarre play-calling

Listening to some of the spiteful things the media was spitting out about Petrino yesterday was hilarious. People actually hate this guy more than Saban!

Now that's an accomplishment!

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Will Jerry replace Cowboys coach?

Well if JJ can pull off a magical switcheroo, convince Phillips to go to DC and elevate Garrett to his position, I'll be truly impressed.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Yankees: Dynasty or travesty?

It's not like the MLB can just erase history. The only real choice now is to fix the problem presently and move on. Hopefully the days of annual 60+ home run years are past us. I'm sick of the game I grew up loving turning slowly into a punchline.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Report: Bonds admitted steroid use

What?? Oh my god! Black is white! Up is down! The world makes no sense!!

Hmmm, on second thought maybe that's just the bottle of tequila I downed this morning.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Will Jerry replace Cowboys coach?

If that was really the case then wouldn't have Jones promoted Garret to HC in the first place and just picked up Norv Turner or someone else as OC?

Makes no sense to me, Phillips won't be let go after this year.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Cowher won't coach in '08

San Fran won't have an opening, vikingfan.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Vick's failed leniency letter

I've spent too much of my life already arguing in Vick threads. I really need to stop doing it. It's just that whenever someone brings up that "eating meat is the same thing" argument my faith in humanity dips to the point where I can't keep my mouth shut.

Seriously, that argument holds about as much water as the Flat Earth Society's webpage.

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Vick's failed leniency letter

No bloodclott, the point is cruelty. Not death, cruelty. Death is a part of nature, cruelty is a function of evil. FIGURE OUT THE F'ING DIFFERENCE!

Posted Friday December 14, 2007, About: Clemens' disturbing steroid allegations

I would give McGwire a HOF nod myself. The guy used PEDs, yes, but they weren't against the rules, and they weren't against the law, either.

This is a competitive sport, what sense is there in punishing someone after the fact for something that was allowed at the time?

As for everyone else.... for shame. Here's to hoping the MLB sucks it up and starts acting like an organization that cares about itself.
