  1. I didn't know that you were a teacher. That said, I always leave the door open if there is less than 10 people in the room. I have one block class this semester where I am lucky to have 65% attendance on some days. So, I leave the door open on those days, knowing that nothing will happen with that few students in the room.
  2. Unfortunately, there is a place and time for torture. However, these are extreme circumstances where lives may be compromised without the intervention of torture. To say that we can't torture, is to handicap our military in succeeding against the enemy. But again, torture is for the extreme circumstances, not some regular foot soldier captured during battle.
  3. agreed... I'll go a step further and say Ryan Neill needs to go... they only kept him over Schneck last year because we had injuries on the DL last year and he was able to play DE. Lindell and Moorman were much more effective. Pro Bowl level, with a high caliber long snapper.
  4. To be honest, that is my biggest fear as a teacher. Luckily, I was a popular sub last year. This year I am at a much tougher school, and I only teach remedial classes where the kids are more likely to pull stunts like this.
  5. Can we get this pinned? at least until the Bills fate is sealed or their playoff spot clinched?
  6. wow, where are you getting this? By definition, a free kick is either a safety kick or a regular kickoff. Once again, if the punt returner fair catches a ball with no time left, the return team can elect to try a fair catch kick down. The placekicker may not use a tee, and the Defense can not rush the kick. So, in other words the kicker attempts a FG with the defense lined up 10 yards away. This means that you would have a kick return team and a kickoff team on coverage for this in case the fair catch kick down falls short. If you don't believe my explanation, click this link from the NY Times about it. EDIT: the article I cited by the NYT uses the free kick term interchangeably with fair catch kick down. Thus the reason for confusion. If the media can't get their crap straight, how will the fans that rely upon it.
  7. Dr. Poop has extended the deadline to enter your info for a coupon to 6 p.m. monday now. http://www.drpepper.com/text/
  8. agreed. The Bills showed class by not kicking and giving up the ball on 4th there with a simple run up the gut.
  9. wow, you are at the beginning of this thread, almost 3 months ago.
  10. Not true. Think about this for a second: If the returner fair catches the ball with time left on the clock, this a moot point, because the opportunity to have another play is there. Now, by fair catching as time expires, it gives the returning team a chance to score by having a play from scrimmage. From the NFL Digest of Rules
  11. Actually quite often, they have put Greer on the marquee guys. He does an admirable job against those guys, think last vs. Dallas where ripped the ball away from T.O. on the 2pt conversion.
  12. Yes you are right. The reason I pointed out what I did, is because I was a college hurdler, and am now a high school coach.
  13. There is a bit of confusion here between the terminology. After a safety, the team that was scored upon must kick off the ball with a punt, instead of off the tee. This is called a free kick. At the end of a half, if the offensive team punts the ball as time expires, the returning team can fair catch the ball. At the conclusion of that play, they have a free play to attempt a FG (or quite possibly a Hail Mary, but do not quote me on anything inside the parenthesis here). A free play also can occur with a defensive penalty as time expires. On a free play, it is an untimed down.
  14. I may not be a member of Mensa, but I do know that the plural form of "Genius", is "Geniuses"

  16. yeah there are a few GILF's out there. Rue McClanahan is a fox, and Bea Arthur too
  17. he has way too much time on his hands and spent a lot of his college time on the board instead of partying with barely legal half naked drunk chicks
  18. 400 Hurdles 110 Hurdles runner up FWIW, you "RUN" the hurdles, the best hurdlers barely leave the ground
  19. Who are you? and how did you hack into Bill's account?
