  1. How can you argue against Tony La Russa? He is one of two managers to win a World Series in both leagues and he is third all time in victories in MLB history, 1st among active managers.
  2. If you liked Hilton Head you should check out St. Simons Island, Ga or Sea Island, Ga......a lot like Hilton Head but the Golf is even better......Sea Island is one of the best courses in the world. I lived on St. Simons for 5+ years......it was awesome.

  4. I'll believe it when I see it. I know the latimes is a reputable source but I've been following this story very closely all week and I no where else is it being reported that a deal is close to being done. Fedor's people have long stated the only way he will fight in the UFC is if the UFC allows M-1 global (which Fedor is part owner of) to co-promote. No way the UFC would allow that, hopefully Fedor's people get a clue and drop that demand. I REALLY REALLY hope this is true.
  5. Doesn't sound like my cup of tea either gringo. It used to be when you weren't home and somebody called you, you'd call them back later. Now between cell phones and twitter people have so many ways of keeping tabs on you its stupid. I don't need to know when Langston Walker is taking a dump.
  6. more like......... NERDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  7. Just hung up with Direct TV. Already was getting Superfan for free.......didn't know that. I was a "Season Ticket Holder" so I was getting Superfan for 6 payments of 44.95 instead of $300.....gee, thanks . Got it down to 6 payments of $34.95 with Free Superfan . Not as good as some but not that bad when you consider I really didn't have the threat of canceling bc I'm under contract.
  8. Yeah but I'm under contract with Direct TV untill December.......don't think it will work for me.
  9. Yeah that 42k I made on 1500 investment of SPNG last month sucked.
  10. I use Scottrade too but I've heard great things about TD Ameritrade.....Scottrade has pissed me off more than a few times but that has only been with penny stocks.......if you are not messing with penny stocks, then I would recommend Scottrade.
  11. Exactly, you don't hear of people getting killed in a Marlboro Light or Budweiser deals gone bad......that's because its legal. All you have to do is look at prohibition and look at how heavily involved organized crime was in the underground booze rings. Legalize it.......no more crime. Not to mention its way safer than Alcohol IMO.
  12. Actually it happened here in St. Louis......my girlfriend works at St. Mary's.
  13. Uhh..... Jermaine Gresham plays for OU. I'd rather have Sean Weatherspoon in Rd 1.....
  14. I'll tell you what is BS about our system....I'm not saying I have the answer to fix it but just listen to my story. I'm a 26 year old non smoking male who is for all intensive purposes in great health. I work for a small company that doesn't provide group coverage but my boss pays for 100% of our health care premiums from any provider of our choice up to $200 a month for an individual. When I got out of college and prior to having my current job I got a small private plan to bridge the gap between no longer being elligable under my parents policies and before getting my own with the job I anticipated getting. Literally 2 days after getting the policy active I completely ruptured two discs in my back while doing squats in the gym. It required about $100k in major surgery and afterward I had to attend Physical Therapy for 4 days a week for about 8 months. My insurance denied the claim stating that I had the injury prior to getting my policy.....complete BS, it was just a crazy coincidence and how the fug did they know what date I was hurt? They were basically accusing me of insurance fraud. Luckily during the whole ordeal it turned out I was still covered under my mom's policy so instead of fighting with the insurance company (under my policy) I just let my mom's coverage do the trick.....I was very lucky. Later during Physical Therapy I ran out of coverage under my mom's policy......and then the fighting with my policy started. My mom's coverage only covered 30 PT visits per year which was gone after the first two months, my policy should have covered all of them but they were still claiming my back was a pre existing condition. Too make a long story short after getting an attorney involved, writing countless letters to Blue Cross, and spending well over 100 hours on the phone, they finally conceded and paid one of my PT bills. From that point on every time I went to PT they denied the claim for a pre-existing condition and I would have to call and say " you paid the last one, you have to pay this one" and go through my whole story. I spent literally at least 2 hours each night on the phone disputing well over 100 PT claims. They finally ended up paying most of my bills but I had to fight for every freaking dollar for no fugging reason. I bought insurance to protect myself in case something like this happened and then when it did they denied me for no reason. Why should it have been this hard to use the insurance I had paid for? Between all the physical therapy and the fighting with Blue Cross, the situation pretty much consumed my life. I still get denied for BS all the time, my favorite was just last winter I got a chest cold and they denied my doctors visit as a pre-existing condition because I have asthma......just because I have asthma doesn't have anything to do with why I got sick.....asthmatics still get chest colds like everyone else and its not a direct result of asthma, its a result of germs and viruses. The current situation with the insurance companies doesn't only not work its immoral, the system is set up so they make more money by denying coverage to people who deserve it....and it def. screws with peoples lives, lucky for me I had a back injury and not cancer. There def. needs to be more regulation on these douchebags.
  15. http://killfile.newsvine.com/_news/2009/06...utes-and-rising According to Cnn.com the average waiting time in a US emergency room in 2008 was 4 hours and 3 minutes and that number is increasing.
  16. Had 10.5 sacks as a senior and lead the NCAAs in forced fumbles with 6.
  17. Sounds like a typical Raiders.....not saying he's the next Bruce Smith but the guy could really rush the passer in college and was a good kid while at Mizzou.
  18. Would love me some Stryker! All I'm saying is compare the guys numbers to Orakpo against a lot of the same competition, and he played though a severe knee sprain as a senior. Then look at his measurables from the combine and they stack up with a lot of the first rounders. He'd be worth a look. Scout.com Bio
  19. Yeah either that or it was because he didn't score any TDs after week 9.
