By picking somebody, it doesn't mean they think things have to be positive... Just how much impact they created... Everything else is left up to debate... It just goes to show you how we think in this counrty... If someone is on a cover... It has to be stardom, goodness, whatever.
I repsect Time for doing what they do... They still have the balls to put some of the biggest arses on their cover.

I know you guys are going to shoot me for being a Cassandra... I just don't feel good about this game. Last year was OT, the year before a win... I don't see the trend continuing...
Here goes:
Bengals-27
Bills-23
Ouch... I HOPE I AM WRONG!

Why does stuff like this bother people?... Just block it out, is that so hard to do and still watch/listen and analyize the game in your own thoughts. Besides the play-by-play... everything else is just subjective commentary... It can't possibly please all.
Now... If we can just get them to call accurate play-by-play on the radio.

Why... Do you have to be brainwashed first?
Why does passing judgement bother people? People do what they do... So what? If it isn't within the rules of the main paradigm at the time... Stay the same and accept the consequences, or change.

Honestly, I would have had a VERY hard time believing that if you were able to vote in the FDR era that you would have voted for FDR. He was the Clinton of the era- NOBODY drew more venom from the Republicans than the mention of his name. There are people who still have that venom, and I have talked with them. Men in their 80's still believe that FDR was a socialist who tried to turn our country into a liberal nightmare. However, it never mattered, because no matter WHAT they said, FDR still won, which is an excallent parallel to Clinton.
Food lines have a great deal to do with FDR's popularity. He took the nation's agenda the same way the Republicans do with anti-tax stances... It was/is popular.
My grandfather would have been one of those guys... He worked on the railroad and his pay was cut in half... Till the day he died, he refered to FDR as a crippled bastard... He wasn't a Republican either... Maybe inside, deep down he knew it was the best for all? As much as he was pissed about himself, he looked past that.

The Land of the Agenda. That's a hard one. If this teacher were promoting gay rights, or protesting the governments intervention in a sovreign nation, in the SF locale, no one would have blinked an eye.
Best I can come up with is ride it out for a week. It will be gone. Christianity has a huge part in the formation of this country, whether anyone likes it or not. It's only been over the last 30-40 years that anyone had an issue with it. Especially the last twenty.
I would suspect that your children have already been exposed to a lot of ideology. This garners attention because it's not your geographic nor local geopolitical mainstream.
Kids bounce well. A week of distraction won't hurt them much. Whatever YOU believe is what they will learn.
Or, did I miss the point?
Of course it was huge... Would the masses go for if it wasn't?
I hear what you are saying. It has been 30-40 years because of the real push behind it... In the last 50 years stuff like "Under God" and "In God We Trust" were added. People forget, that our founders were Christian intellectuals during the the "Age of Enlightenment." Our history is one of predominantly homogenious relgious Christian belief, it doesn't mean it has to stay that way. So, I would like to argue that most of our founders were Christian in name only. If not, why would they have created such "open ended" ideals?
BTW, my kids receive a Catholic education.

So? Does that mean he's not a flyball pitcher?
Does it mean that he's not a .500 pitcher for his career?
Welcome to Boston's version of Jeff Weaver. He'll tantalize and tease, but mostly disappoint.
He was also hurt the later part of the season before???

Didn't the Gints have the ball on the 1 and they couldn't come away with 7!?
-
Let me guess? They are gonna say "That's why we didn't reply, it is the most retarded, so we didn't reply."
Just an example, they will find a way to turn it on you.
Or else, they are parlaying their bets with the closest bookie!

Sorry, he isn't. He is the QB coach though...
Thanks!
Sorry too... I misread your post. It did say coached... I was thrown later when you said he was calling the plays. I naturally assumed he was OC.
Me bad!

Brady was the guy I was thinking of. The system Weis used with Brady was designed to hide his inexperience and take advantage of his strengths. The same can be said for the Steelers offense and Big Ben. He will be an excellent QB because of the way he has not been asked to shoulder the whole offense.
I would say that our own coaching staff has done a pretty good job this year of hiding Bledsoe's blemishes. By this point last year I just felt bad for the guy because his had no confidence (rightly so). I'm not sure he has yet mentally recovered from the pounding he received last year and the second half of the year before.
Manning, on the other hand, is coached by our favorite offensive coordinator, who has a fetish for the arms of QBs and only runs the ball when no one cares. Eli should have run screaming from NY when he heard Gilbride was calling the plays...
Wow... I didn't know KG was OC with the Gints!

Oh... Not an official handle yet, I did find it funny when I was refered to as "Stalin in llinois"

Are you:
A) 15 years old?
B) a migrant worker from a third world country?
3) a drunk living in a web enabled cardboard box?
4) just eyeing a certain mo-ped?
I am no millionaire, but if you aren't one of the above you are either the definition of a marginal fan or just flat out don't know the value of a dollar(which ain't much). Not to be rude, but seriously, $5000 is a nice piece of change if you are looking for a new wardrobe from Abercrombie and Fitch or looking to get a TV and some DVD's, but that kind of money don't even touch the overhead on living even in the most economical parts of WNY. In fact, you'd be hard pressed to find a decent set of walls with a roof on it that you could rent for $5000 per year anymore.
5) Compulsive gambler.
6) Pete Rose (see 5).

Some people just can't get past the picks... They are gonna happen with a guy like Drew... If they don't hurt the team at critical times... No big deal... Seems lately they haven't affected field position (even know I was scared early on in the Brown's game)?

Thanks... I always thought that the term "Devil Dogs" refered to the use of Doberman Pinschers in WWII, in the Pacific Theater? I didn't know it stretched back to WWI and the bulldog... I guess the term is applied to other breeds? Or just the animals the Marines use?
-
The Marines did use them to root out Japanese snipers in the south Pacific.
Is that your doggy Darin? Looks like a red?
Growing up we had one... The best dog in the world... Except the one time my car was broken into in the middle of summer, windows open and the blasted thing slept like a baby in bed, 20 feet away!

Why even have announcers?

Don't let facts cloud your judgement... In their wacky world... He has never graced the cover of SI numerous times and the Red Sox aren't the second highest payroll in the majors...
Be careful what you wish for Bills fans... Come down is a b*tch.
