UConn James

I'm "all over the place on this"?!? I'm not the one who's engaging in this double-agent?/ triple-agent? stuff. That's all you. We've got two videos released on the same day from both candidates on the topic of wealth redistribution and getting the conversation back on the topic of the economy after it's been muddled in the Arab Autumn for the past week. I'm going to go out on a limb and say they're connected. My money says the Romney camp or surrogates released them both, and they have a plan on where they're going to direct the conversation, that is aimed at people who either think too many people are on these programs, that there ought to be a cut-off point for them, and also hold a hand out to people who don't want to be on these programs but have had to swallow their pride in the Obamaconomy and who would get right off of them when a guy who actually knows how the economy works and how jobs are created can get things going where Obama has utterly failed, and pissed away trillions doing it.

I think the OL is finally good. enough that if the Fitz of the last half of last year and the first game this year continues to show up, or even if Fitz simply does all right / not bad.... We could finally be in a position to draft a QB high and not get 'im killed and turned into a gunshy kitty. Don't get me wrong --- I want Fitz to be the guy. But we can't let the window close while waiting for him to become a QB who can make all the throws. Seriously, if he physically can't Throw a 20-yard spiral with any degree of accuracy, then what the hell are we doing?!!

Boludo --- Unless, of course, Vince Wilfork is on the other side and goes offsides, unabated, to get in one last cheap-shot.

Or what happens to Social Security in... when was it? The insolvency date keeps getting adjusted sonner and sooner... as Obama and the Democrats are content to kick the can down the road. The way they talk is as if the entitlement tsunami isn't going to hit.

How does anyone think that this video reached MJ without the Romney camp WANTING it to? Coincidence that it happens the SAME DAY that the video from 1998 where Obama says he "I actually believe in redistribution" was unearthed? And no, contrary to what duckrodgers above and the progressive left would like to sweep under the rug, it was NOT meant in the spirit of monetary circulation that happens in an economy. If Obama had meant circulation, he would and should have said circulation. He said redistribution, through taxes, from the earners and gifted by political vote-buyers to those who stick out their hands for living.

Better put than what I wrote. A 25-second rundown after plays --- oftentimes 5 times the amount of time that the play itself actually took. That's a lot of time for grown men Spandex to be standing around doing bupkiss. Maybe allow the 25 seconds, but don't take it all off the game clock. Games would take longer. Sure. But why have a game clock if that's how you're going to treat it? Reduce the game to 30 minutes total and have stoppage after every play. Time is arbitrary when you don't care how it's kept. This is one of the things that drives me nuts about soccer too. Guys being paid to model laundry for most of the game.

I've always hated the running of the clock after a running play or a completed pass. Time ticks while guys are standing around. Sure, give 'em the breather and use a play clock for that, but that nothingness should not be happening while the game clock is running.

Hence why, as I said, I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus.

As posted in another thread, well... what about the new video showing Obama in 1998 saying "I actually believe in redistribution." This is a conversation that Romney WANTS in the field. ANd it needs to be polished, sure. Move into that his economic policies are designed to get people back to work so they DON'T HAVE to collect from the federal govt to get by. But make no mistake --- there IS a sizable portion of this country's citizens whose families are in their fourth or fifth generation of food stamps, section 8, medicaid, et al., and beat feet to apply for whatever new free money there is, but won't do the same when it comes to getting a job. And this has been the case for far too long to blame it on this or that recession. It's a case of people being free riders and mooches on the system.

Written at least 250 years after his death? Not that I give a hoot either way. Like. Thomas Jefferson, I don't believe in the divinity of Jesus or the supernatural parts of the Bible. He was a teacher whose legend was majorly trumped up by his students, and then, like the game of Telephone, the passing of centuries have only added to the confusion.

New video surfaces. Obama at Loyola University in 1998: "I actually believe in redistribution." http://www.nationalreview.com/corner/325942/obama-1998-i-actually-believe-redistribution-katrina-trinko#

I think the funniest line I've ever heard was Steve talking about meeting Vince Lombardi back in the day. He was speaking of this man very reverently while relating their meeting and then said he asked for an autograph from the coach on a picture. Sabol said that Lombardi handed it back to him and it read: "To Steve, A schmuck if I ever met one. Vince Lombardi" So much of what's on teevee is just passing time that you forget within ~ 45 minutes. I saw that on one of his NFL Films presentations and, hey, it's still in the memory bank. RIP Mr. Sabol.

See, if you were asking for TBDers in the Albequerque area.... [cue "Crystal Blue Persuasion"] I still don't get why the dude can't package it for you himself, especially if it's someone you know. Do you not want him to know that you're buying from him? Present for him or someone he knows? My brow is just furrowed here....

And then you have to bear in mind that this was against the Kansas City Chiefs.

On my ipad, you have to click where it says 'Shout Box' on the title bar. That will take you to a full screen of the shoutbox, so you lose access to the rest of the page, but just open it in another tab.

Mark Steyn : An Act of War, Not a Movie Protest

Do they not have Post Office delivery there? Get on the horn and ask him to put it in a box. What's the prob? Or... is this "item" cut up leaves with a high THC content?

Gailey ought to be feeling some heat. But it's probably too soon to be BBQing him. This roster still has major holes. If Fitzpatrick plays all year the way he played at the end of last season and last week, it's time to cut bait and if Gailey / Nix are STILL adamant that Fitz, Pretty much everyone here would be on board with blowing it up. But especially if they go in another direction at QB and stop bitching and moaning about not being in the right spot to draft/get a true Franchise QB and just !@#$ing do it already, I would be satisfied enough to give them another year or two. As quickly as he canned Trentative Edwards, it's hard to fathom how he's going to stick with Fitz at this rate. And yet he has. Fitz is a GREAT guy; but it's becoming clear that he can't even be a mediocre serviceman QB. Assuming the Bills have a terrible year.... We're left with the same situation --- who the hell would want to come here? No established, experienced coach who has ANY other option at a job in the NFL will touch Buffalo with a ten foot pole. You can argue one-of-only-32-jobs-in-the-world and you'd be wrong. Like it or not, Chan was the best we could get last time. Another few years on an owner who has one foot in the grave isn't likely to help here. No one wants to go into a situation like that. Super Mario or not, we are the dregs of the league. Don't expect a Reggie-White-signing-in-Green-Bay-like turnaround. Wannstache would not be taking over at HC. One, he and Chan are friends. And two, I don't want him at HC. It would probably be a talented OC/DC hire again. And then he'll blow the whole thing up making it "his" team and we'll be right back at square negative five.

Yep, yocash old do depreciation research on the MacBook, but on the face of it, I'd say that it's probably a good swap (you'll also stay out of paying taxes, as if Malloy needs more of our money to piss away). The prices on teevees have come down LOTS. For what I paid 900 clams for a 40" in 2009 you can now get better specs for like 600. We cut the cord for cable/sat ~20 years ago now and do antenna-only free teevee, heavily PBS, and since we upgraded with the HDTV, Netflix.

Followed by breaking news that Coach Calhoun is retiring from UConn. Wow.

You don't have to *believe* it. They were. I don't have the article offhand, but I remember well thinking what a nice, forgiving, and friendly Catholic Church administration they have at BC.... !@#$ing bastards! But the ACC desperately wants a presence in the NYC-and-environs market, and UConn offers that. Our games are on the SNY network, have the track record at MSG in the Big East tourneys, we recruit HEAVILY in that market, and there are LOT$ of UConn fans in Fairfield County.

Well, BC would be one of their ACC conference games.... So this essentially makes it 15 in the ACC. Uconn's really gotta push NOW to be that magic 16th. Gotta get out of the Big East. It's dying.

Wow. Stop posting in this thread unless you've got something that's even remotely on the topic of Bob Woodward's book and/or the debt deal. Word is that Moody's has a negative outlook and will join S&P's decision to downgrade America's credit rating if no debt deal is in place by the time of the so-called "fiscal cliff" on 2 January. Link. At this point, the sides seem to be dug in. Boehner said he had the votes at spending cuts and $800B in tax increases, but who knows about that now. Will Obama keep his new goalpost at $1.2T or move it even further?

Yeah... how 'bout this thread.... If you wanted to tempt Fate a little more, why didn't you ask how much the Bills would win by?
