What happens if the black owned store has a white or hispanic running the cash register? What if the milk they buy at that store is produced by a white owned dairy? What about the other way around where it's a white owned store selling milk from a black owned dairy? I have no problem with the idea, but that last example seems like a major problem to me.

Granted, we haven't heard every detail of this conversation, but everything I've seen so far in the moments leading up to the crash, they were talking about events on that plane. The comment about the ice build up seems relevant to me. I can understand either point of view on the rest of the comments about their experience, but to me, it seems relevant to the flight. I guess it all comes down to whether or not they could've done things in advance to avoid that stick shaker stall warning. The big thing that sticks out more than anything is that these two had no clue what to do in the icing conditions. With or without the conversation, that doesn't change. Yes, I can understand the potential problems of random conversations in the cockpit, but here, this whole issue seems like it is trying to distract us from the fact that not enough is being done to train certain pilots.

I don't really see how the fact that they're carrying on a conversation is that big of a deal. Yes, it's a rule, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it happen all the time. It's the comments pointing out their lack of any experience that is the huge issue here. It doesn't getting any more damning for the Colgan Air than that. I've always assumed these pilots have a good idea of exactly what they're doing, but I'm sure I'll think twice next winter when I fly home for Christmas. I'm sure I'll be dishing out the extra cash for a flight without a layover where there tends to be less of these regional carriers.

Please shock us all and kill him.

I'm surprised no one has made and Gibran Hamden comments yet.

But isn't that the whole point of this thread?

You don't even have to throw in your post since both of those quotes start by asking if anyone mentioned so and so. Obviously they weren't reading.

"Follow me. Follow me to freedom!" -Charlie Steiner "Sometimes the best team doesn't win." -An incredibly bitter Brendan Morrison during his Hobey Baker acceptance speech, the day after his Michigan team was eliminated from the NCAA semi-finals. "No you can't" -Me in response to Miami of Ohio fans chanting "Yes we can" after their team went up 3-1 late in the finals of the NCAA hockey tourney last month

So how long does it take for the window to close on this being Marv's team? Once that happens, then we can really compare the two. We know exactly where Donahoe's team took us, but was Marv around long enough for this to be a fair question? Ultimately, fair or not, it's going to come down to Edwards vs. Losman.

I can understand that point of view, but any responsibility of the fans is far outweighed by that of the league and the union.

I love how we have now reached the point of speculating over who DIDN'T use steroids. Way to go MLB and the players union.

Sales are going so well for the same reason that they're projecting a huge year for movies. This stuff is entertainment and people use it as an escape.

Yeah, but I'd say the casual fan is about 95% of the total fanbase leaguewide.

The team, the league, and the television networks.

I love how a relatively boring draft had lead to the posibility of a more entertaining offense. I had no problems with the draft, but let's face it. Picking up a pair of guards early isn't going to do much for the casual fan.

Why did the movie open so early in the day? I'm guessing a lot of people didn't expect it to open until midnight, which would lead to the small showing in that theater.

It's kind of implied, isn't it? But then again, since you did say "a few other cities", I guess I should've picked up on that one.

Tampa's not going anywhere. Their attendance has dropped a bit thanks to their recent struggles, but they're still drawing 16k+ per game. If they can return to even mediocrity, they'll be right up over 18K again. They consistently outdraw LA and New Jersey (with a new arena even), but you'll never see anyone calling for their heads. Other than the Phoenix situation, obviously, the league needs to do something about the Islanders before they attempt to fix any other problems.

Unfortunately, it's the owners who have the say and not the fans. Sure, the Leafs won't lose any ticket sales, but if they're going to lose even $1 somewhere else, they won't let this happen.

No single player in this league over the last 15+ years deserves the benefit of doubt. Unless proven otherwise, they were all using.

That's my attitude with just about everything with this team. With everything they've done the past 10 years, every single position on this team needs to earn my trust.

I used to work with a bunch of college softball players. I'd say there were about 50/50, so you were looking at a coin toss in the looks department. So you've got yourself a pitcher or middle infielder, huh?

I can't see them cutting Youboty. IR is a completely different story though. Florence just has that Will James feel to me this year, so I could definitely see him sent packing.

Thanks

That's exactly what I was thinking. If by some chance this was a very severe injury that left him with little hope to ever play again, do they actually owe him anything beyond his medical bills? Does anyone know what is required in these situations?
