That's a pretty sweet Willie Stargel tattoo, though.

That guy's headless, limbless torso is gonna fetch a nice sum on the collectables market when he expires.

Let me get this straight, illegal downloading is ruining their career, but when they tour no one is going to the shows? I got news for you...if no one is interested enough to go see your band play, then I'm pretty sure no one is lining up to steal your music either. Downloading is not ruining music. If anything, it's doing presicely the opposite. Sick of bands that all sound the same? Well they all sound the same because corporate rock and roll is pushing what they think sells. One novel act comes out, and it's followed by countless others that all sound the same so the corporate rock pimps can cash in on the trend. Well the internet allows indy bands to do it themselves and get mass exposure across the globe. You don't think any good bands are out there? Stop being so freaking lazy, turn off the radio and hit the "intertubes." MySpace is loaded with fabulous stuff. Myself, I'm into punk rock. A couple weekends ago I did a search for punk rock from Aulstralia and New Zealand, and downloaded hours of great rock and roll. There's just too much stuff out there to fit on a single iPod. You can be damn sure that if any of these acts make their way to our shores and play a club in Boston I'll be out there supporting them. The bitching and moaning comes loudest from the very people that want to control the airwaves. They don't want you to have choices. They don't want bands that sound different. They want easily definable niches so they can push this crap to format-driven radio stations that target certain demographics. Well screw them. Shut those stations off. Don't buy their stale product. Support independent lables. Support small clubs. Go see small bands touring in vans. Buy T-shirts and 45s, even if it's just to say, "Yeah, Screw you! I just bought a damn vinyl record! Take that you corporate whores!"

That man is not a marginal fan. Good for him. That's the kind of effort we should all emulate...giving 100%, leaving it all on the field (or parking lot, whatever may be the case). He's an inspiration.

Mean culpa, I probably should have just named them all in stead of using "Hastert and the rest"...The Hill: Hastert's staff first knew of Foley emails in 2005 House Speaker Dennis Hastert’s (R-Ill.) National Republican Congressional Committee Chairman Tom Reynolds (R-N.Y.) Majority Leader John Boehner (R-Ohio) Rep. Rodney Alexander (R-La.) Alexander’s chief of staff, Royal Alexander Tim Kennedy, a staff assistant in the Speaker’s office Mike Stokke, Hastert’s deputy chief of staff Clerk of the House Jeff Trandahl Ted Van Der Meid, the Speaker’s chief counsel Rep. John Shimkus (R-Ill.) And from The Houston Chronicle My apologies to anyone in the GOP that I may have offended by lumping them in with J.Dennis Hastert. No way I'd want to be associated with him either.

Once again, so far, in the hundreds of news articles on this story, none have found a link to the Dems. Not saying there isn't one there. But, as of right now no one is reporting Dem involvement. If any Dem does surface with the type of knowledge that Hastert and the rest had, then I would just as vigorously call for their resignations as well. If a link was there, I would think some of the more "resourcefull" members of the GOP would have found some evidence. But right now, Operation CYA consists primarily of changing stories by the hour and finger-pointing within the GOP ranks.

I have no way of knowing whether the Dems knew about this or not, but in the four days since this story has broken I have not seen a single news article from a reputible news source claiming or showing evidence that the Dems knew anything. There is an editorial (with no author named ) in Investors.com, but it seems the unknown author's only evidence that the Dems orchestrated this "october surprise" is that the Dems had the audacity to call for an investigation and to question who in the GOP leadership knew about it. Perhaps in the coming days some evidence will come to light that the Dems knew, but as of this post, no one with actual journalist credentials has seen any and all the speculation about this october surprize is coming from the GOP noise monkeys.

Get an extra ticket and tailgate with a priest. Problem solved. If he's Irish Catholic he'll probably drink you under the table, and it always helps to have a man of the cloth with you if you get pulled over by The Man on the way home.

What does this have to do with "PC gone craazy (sic)!", the title of your thread? When did prosecuting animal neglect/abuse become an issue highlighting PC-gone-wild?

Let's see... 10 passing 1st downs 0 turnovers 23-32 for 222 yards and a TD spreading the ball around to 8 different receivers a QB rating of 101.3 Oh, and they won. You are losing your crusade, Smerlas.

Asshole

They also continue to change the parameters for their argument. He hasn't thrown for 200 yards...he hasn't thrown for 300 yards...he hasn't thrown for 300 yards and 2 TDs and gotten a W...he threw for 200 yards and a TD but also threw an INT and could have fumbled...and on and on.

Looks like you had a tough day, Smerlas.

They're making fun of Buffalo and Howard Simon on the Boston station right now. Smerlas is a class act. They just called Howard Simon a whiney B word.

She's not going to sleep with any of you.

Wow. That's good stuff. Smerlas is a total idiot, and get's his ass handed to him. According to Fred, eleven games is more than enough time to judge Losman, yet in the same breath commends SD for taking 27 starts to evaluate Drew Brees, and still considers NE to be the best team in football. Why is he even allowed on the radio in WNY?

She's not going to sleep with any of you.

No sh--. I don't see any mention of Bill Simmons (Sports Guy/Red Sox shill) bombing as a writer for the Jimmy Kimmel Show, or that craptacular waste of time "Cold Pizza."

Neither does this one.
