Well, I'm guessing you saw this on the new bottomline segment called "The Lead", where they give the top stories snappy little headlines, not just information. But again, I failed to see the humor with the whole "mound" thing.

Ok I had never heard of this "mound" slang before. I guess that does make it funny.

How would you have preferred they phrase it? It isn't that funny, it's the man's name.

I'm a serious Bills fan too. I was born into it too, but as long as a player is trying his hardest out there (and I always got the sense Royals was), I have no beef with them, and I certainly don't "hate" them. There seems to be this attitude among some people that being a devoted fan means proving that you can get more pissed off than the guy next to you. Royal just isn't a good starting tight end. He's a backup tight end with decent blocking skills. It isn't his fault that the Bills didn't have a better option. And if we DID have a better option in Fine or Schouman, it isn't Royal's fault that he was named the starter over them.

I don't see the point of saying that you "hate" a football player for their poor play on the field. He never did anything to you, he just found himself overmatched on the gridiron. Why does it have to be so personal?

Dunham isn't great, but he isn't horrible. He gets a couple of chuckles out of me. Dane Cook, on the other hand, is one of the worst things to happen to comedy in my lifetime. LOOK AT ME, I'M DANE COOK AND I JUST MADE AN OBSCURE OBSERVATION AND SAID IT IN A FUNNY VOICE. As bad as Dane Cook is at comedy, he is somehow 5 times worse as an actor. And yet the guy makes millions off of stupid people with low standards.

You don't think we should re-up on Macarthur? He seems to have a knack for finding the back of the net, and it's not as if he would cost us that much. Also, Lydman has one year left on his contract, and has been our best defenseman on many accounts (aside from his frustrating giveaways).

If it's anything less than a Cadillac, he is lying through his teeth!

Yeah, we match up quite well with Boston, and actually lead the season series against them this year 3-2.

No, they aren't eliminated yet. If..... Sabres finish 3-0 (Leafs, Canes, Bruins) Rangers finish 0-2 (Flyers, Flyers) Panthers finish 1-1 (Thrasher, Capitals) So yes, it is highly unlikely...but crazier things have happened.

Well, he might add some curry flavor.

I am an a**hole, and a c**ks**ker (in the vernacular, not literally).

I said he was crazy, not wrong.

This dude is craaaaazy

It ain't politics, it ain't polls, it ain't pundits.

I'm with ya Romeo. The way that we, as a society, approach "evil" is very 1984. Oceania is at war with Eastasia. Eurasia is our ally. Oceania is at war with Eurasia. Eastasia is our ally. We've been conditioned into thinking the Muslim faith is to blame for all the violence in the Middle East, when in fact it is a myriad of social issues. Christians, in the same situation, would be more prone to atrocities too.

What the hell are you even trying to imply here? That Obama hates Jewish people? You are a real piece of work.

Read the above quote from Bad Lieutenant, the Italian PM says he doesn't want ANY aid at all, so this won't be taken as an insult.

Yeah, I know...I personally love the guy as a player. I think that most people hate on him because the media loves to verbally fellate him, and he seems to get favorable calls from the referees more often than not. Neither of those things is his fault though, so what's the point in hating on him?

Role Models, Coincidentally I just watched that movie yesterday. I thought it was absolutely hilarious. Even Sean William Scott was pretty good. Jane Lynch, who the quote comes from, is one of the funniest women in comedy today.

They're stupid and they're kooky Hilarious and doopy They're altogether loopy The Palin family! snap snap

However, the most important thing is familiarity. I've been using these bad boys since I first started playing the game 10 years ago, and I know them like the back of my hand. If I'm on the fringe of the green, there's no club I'd rather have in my hand than my trusty 7 iron (and we all know the short game is most important). As for distance, I get a solid 260 out of my driver. Would I get 285 with a better one? Maybe, but I honestly doubt it would improve my score that much. Besides, I don't play competitively anymore. So what if I drop a stroke here or there because of distance? I like my clubs, they treat me well, that's what's important. I suspect I'd struggle at this point with "better" clubs.

please, I can't afford any of that stuff. My clubs are 15 year old hand me downs from my half-brother, and I almost exclusively use shag balls from the clubhouse at the local public course (except on my birthday when I get a nice big pack of Pro V1s). Equipment doesn't make a golfer any better or any worse. I'm a 6 handicap, and I'd be a 6 handicap with "fancy" stuff. I used to get ribbed by the guys on my high school golf team, but I'd shut em all up when I outscored 'em. When I feel like actually spending legit money on golf, I do it by playing at a nice course.

Well I've never used a caddie either. In fact, most golfers never do. And frankly, I don't understand why professional golfers get the benefit of a caddy either. Why should the best players in the world need assistants? And why can't they carry their own goddamn bags for that matter?
