I guess I may try to get into baseball yet again this summer. What I would give to be able to have meaningful sports in the summer.

Yeah I can see the background deal. Kind of like golf. Only when a good golf tourney is on golf is even better than baseball. Certainly w/ the majors.

I also hate baseball. I try to watch sometimes, just don't like it. I played it when I was young. I know about it in enough detail to appreciate it. Just don't like it. No football next fall would be a disaster. I will say I always enjoy being AT the baseball games though. Where as if I'm completely honest I like football more on tv (but I also like being at football so I like both w/ football).

...more like crazy...

I saw this on google news today and this sucks. WTF man, this is like the lockout. If you are in entertainment...think of the fans for Chris' sake! You could easily get ride of Cooper btw.

I'm telling you, it almost always catches up with you b/c of the nature of it...but you can coast doing almost ANYTHING as a severe drug addict. And I'm talking for a long time too. People that are drug addicts...certainly the way Ange was where he was a straight up "drug addict" (no particular drug though he was clearly into painkillers)...they have "tiger blood" (for lack of a better term). It's what ALLOWS them to be drug addicts. These people can do everyday things (work ect) feeling in such a way the normal person would be unable to continue on. Drug addicts would not exist if you couldn't function w/ severe problems. You become an expert at hiding it. You can be a drug addict in the NFL! Ange was!

I don't believe that for a second. No way he out did Charlie. He didn't have the cash flow to compete on that level. And Charlie had been going for much longer. Marijuana is a much more complicated drug than almost anyone gives it credit for. There's almost nobody I ever hear talk about it that isn't either completely ignorant and way to against it...or that doesn't sort of acknowledge the physiological effects it CAN have on SOME people...mainly b/c like almost anything else it's addictive. It's not going to have you throwing up in withdrawl, but it's particularly addictive to many kids and if you go over board with it, it will change your personality and can bring out mental illness and exacerbate it. That said, I am not against it and it's a tragedy people are in prison over it. But to comment on the story...I hope he manages to stick with it. I doubt he'll play in the NFL again.

lol very funny

This is a deposition that is actually worth watching. Texas style deposition. The Lawyer that is doing the questioning is actually a wildly successful trial attorney. There's a statute of him on Texas campus b/c he's given so much money to them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIxmrvbMeKc

It's all been said. All I can say is nothing will ever change unless there is outside intervention. It's totally corrupt through and through. It's old white guys controlling money and keeping power and status. As we all know. I mean the main argument for the balls is what again?

There's pretty much always going to be better Mexican food around no matter where you are...problem is...is the other place open when you are drunk of your ass at 3am?

Dude will never live it down if this is the way he acts. He has to take it w/ humility until it stops on its own even if it never does. Which it may not. Can't beat the **** out of women sorry Chris.

Problem is the "bullying" gets by still it's the ultimate fight that is cracked down on and both kids basically get the same treatment. I mean, can you imagine back in the day? Would there be a little punk like that ****ing with this kid if we lived in a society where the kid could slam him and not become some international celebrity? We need to go back to the days of letting kids fight a bit sometimes. It's good for them. Teach a little punk to leave bigger kids alone.

LOL I agree w/ Tom. **** me how did this happen...

I love you

At this point in time, it's extremely uncommon. I mean, yea....it's not the only way it happens. I'll give you that. But c'mon now...I've seen countless people I know get into it...I see all the people at local music stores...I've seen the way people who teach lessons work...strumming Free Falling on your imitation strat is the way to start! lol

Toms the most retarded poster on the board and nobody here including him could possibly dean me in guitar. There may be players that are different than me and experts in other areas that don't interest me but I'll not be "deaned." lol If you say you learned to rock classical jams finger-style before you learned "rhythm playing" then all I can say I don't believe you or in the alternative that makes no sense.

BYU's honor code is functionally moot. Sheer hypocrisy in it's arbitrary and impossible enforcement. It isn't an honor code. It's nothing. It's just meaningless words used to justify....outrageous conduct on the part of the school such as this that would be tolerated nowhere else.

By all means learn what you want but if you truly are completely new....finger picking technique is not typically where you start.

There are countless Dave Matthews lessons on there. All acoustic. All really fun to play, all sound really good, all nice jams, all the perfect combo of a challenge yet doable (with work) for a beginner/intermediate. Type in "How to play ______ by Dave Matthews" and you'll get someone that knows what they're doing and teaches it well. Start with maybe #41 or "So much to Say." The reason I recommend it is b/c there's a lot of them out there, most are good, and it introduces you to some interesting chords and "moves" which is invaluable when first learning and setting your base up. It will teach you to play the hell out of the thing and not just play chords/songs...it will teach you to "really play"...w/ a little funk/style ect...

Frozen Thin Mints narrowly eek out the peanut butter ones. Anyway, girl scout cookies have taken over the world. It's ridiculous how they are sold now. Can you imagine telling...say...your grandfather to go peddle cookies at work by shaking down his co-workers? He would smack you.

This is ridiculous and I hope BYU is destroyed in the media for this and their entire athletic program and maybe school in general falls apart. The hypocrisy off this is of the chart. I agree this seems racially motivated at least at first glance.

wow Have to assume this is cash flow issues? That he isn't broke? Right?

OMG The return.

Small countries? Just start w/ Iran and Russia.
