I think Kellen Winslow wins the award for "Hype". Or maybe Tim Couch. I don't think anyone would argue the fact that if Eli had indeed gone to SD, right now, he would still be sitting on the bench. So, while I don't exactly agree with the way he went about things, I do understand where he was...

Eli's still a better leader, overall, then many of the other QBs currently playing in the league. Big Blue's offense has enough options to pick on the weak link: Put your corner on Shockey and they throw to whoever is in the backfield. Double Burress and they throw crossing routes and ins...

Abe, IMHO... Anything can be classified as an "addiction" when the individual is compelled to that behavior even when confronted with severe negative consequences. Here's the difference: You like hobbying. You really, really like hobbying. You do it all the time. Not yet...

yummy! I know this isn't a wine board, but I couldn't resist. I don't know if you can find Paul Hobbs wines up north, but if you can.... it's worth it. Russian River 2002 Chardonnay... very nicely balanced. Blah, blah, oak, malolactic butter, tropical fruit, etc. Typical, but a...

Best advice ever given: "Drink what you like, and like what you drink." Diminishing returns are present everywhere. Yes, that 82 Margaux is fun. Grange is like a punch in the mouth with a fist full of jam. BUT... Three bottles of Joseph Phelps Insignia for one Grange... or, to compare...

I can't believe I missed that in a previous post. There's no right-to-privacy for cell phone conversations? Does Canada use the same standard (average person/reasonable expectation of privacy) as the US? Is the technology needed to intercept cellular communications now so prevalent and...

IMHO, decriminilization speaks mostly to the concept of raising criminal standards/thresholds to the level where nothing can be prosecuted except for the most egregious acts... This isn't so far fetched of an idea. Not to pick on the MJ issue as an example, but there's a big difference...

You will all eat your words when the Giants crush the 'boys this weekend. And it will be through classic Parcells football. Big Blue will control the ball for 10 minutes more then Dallas. Manning will have MAYBE 200 yards passing and 1 touchdown, but most of those yards will come on third and...

Bonus side effect: SP`s now graded by government regulators as though they are sides of beef. Instead of pondering whether or not your dinner guests will be able to appreciate the difference in taste between a choice tenderloin and a prime tenderloin, (in my hypothetical fantasy world) SP`s...

Ah, but the challenge of the week: Will the Raiders, on a bye week, still find a way to be flagged 916 times for 18,000 yards?

Way to go, Red! You've managed to take four words out of a much more complete quote, misrepresent my position, AND manage to say nothing, all at once! Q: Which country has been ranked as the least likely to suffer from terroristic acts of violence? A: North Korea. No one can get away with...

Not a Bush fan, but... What do other countries promise their soldiers, then, when they have equipment that is below the standard of American gear? I don't think I made my point clearly enough in the last post. I'm not saying this is an unimportant issue - it always has been and will always...

Abe - So, why is it that Indy's "high powered offense" is more dangerous then Oakland's? Considering, of course, that Oakland is averaging 19 points a game at 0-3 and Indy with just under 16 ppg at 3-0? People are claiming that Indy's defense is pretty good. They are: against the Ravens...

Curious - I found it interesting that you decided to place this link under the "hate bush" thread when you've clearly indicated that this is a problem that has plagued militaries under many administrations... But regardless, the "problem" isn't as easy as it sounds. Yes, the Pentagon have...

More important for the Jets is that Curtis Martin is running like shit. Chad was a fairly good QB who was able to perform because defenses had to play honest with Martin. Now that the running game has gone to pot... I predict Vinny will be sacked ten times in the next two games.

Then there are those games so insanely stupid one dares not mention them. Ok, fine, I dare. The original Bard's Tale trilogy. That was half my adolescent life. Civilization. What a stupid game that I could not possibly turn off. And finally, the award for Stupid Games that No One...

I can see why it was easy to think I was implying that these people didn't have jobs, housing, or health insurance. My apologies for poor wording. The point I was trying to get at is this: What, exactly, is the responsibility of the federal government to individuals in these types of...

Abe, I would agree with what you've said; my argument isn't so much of an operational one as much as a philosophical one: At what point does "winning the unlucky lottery" become a problem of the national government? HOW much is the national government responsible for? I agree that losing a...

That is, of course, assuming you're thinking from a business perspective. Which I guess most musicians are, considering how few of them are willing to stick their necks out. Which, presumably, makes them more capitalist businesspeople then artists. I guess the loss of the...

Curious, Please note that I've never advocated what some might consider "Martial Law 2.0" (or ML++, whichever you prefer). I was simply stating that without accepting limits on personal freedoms and the prevalence of a police state, no open society can exist in peace when it is confronted...
