  1. Perhaps you could try replying on subject rather than posting a diversionary, non sequitur link.
  2. Not really. First we'd need to agree on what "back" means. Second I don't want the burden of following it over the years. Lastly I don't want to be on the side of betting someone won't make a come back .... bad karma.
  3. Wow that's sad. Goes out to see a race with friends and/or family and that's how it ends.
  4. My hunch is not middle East related. More likely home grown anti-government, anti-boston/marathon (maybe they had a gripe with the mayor or race organizers), or just a garden variety wacko bent on indiscriminate murder.
  5. He can "Withdraw" himself, but "DQ" is a determination made by officials.
  6. So what are you saying: Guns don't kill people, people do .... but drones DO kill people?
  7. Oblivion stunk. Corny, drawn out, trite, not engaging ... and I'm totally sick of the wise old philosopher Morgan freeman character. only highlights were the lovely Olga Kurylenko and anti-drone sub-theme
  8. Google chief urges action to regulate mini-drones http://m.bbc.co.uk/n...nology-22134898
  9. I had a cat who totally unprovoked would race across the house and storm into the room as if someone (or thing) were chasing him, when nothing was there. He was all hyper and had to be comforted afterward to calm down.
  10. He can't DQ himself. Officials make that determination. And they determined within the guidelines of the revised rule the penalty was 2 strokes, not DQ.
  11. How in the world can Tampa have cap space for this?
  12. None of those guys had torn Achilles at 34, and none of them were in the same league as Kobe as a player. Depends how you quantify "back", but if its a guy averaging nearly 26/game career , comes back and avgs 7, that's not "back" IMO
  13. "little 6" alien looking creature" ..... probably his dong
  14. Have to respect Tiger's attitude on this... After a tumultuous day that saw Woods wake up to the news that his status in the tournament was in question, getting a reprieve from disqualification due to a rarely invoked rule (but having two strokes added to his score), Woods was looking forward to Sunday's final round, which finds him four strokes back of leaders Brandt Snedeker and Angel Cabrera. "It started off obviously different, but I'm right there in the ballgame," Woods said after a 2-under-par 70 at Augusta National left him in a tie for seventh place. Adam Scott, Marc Leishman, Jason Day and Matt Kuchar are also ahead of Woods, who is tied with Tim Clark. "As of right now, I'm four back with a great shot to win this championship," Woods said immediately after his round.
  15. here's what he said "I wasn't even really thinking," said Woods of The Drop That Shook The Masters. "I was still a little ticked at what happened [his ball caromed off the pin and into a pond] ... it's pretty obvious I didn't drop in the right spot."
  16. The problem is what if someone wins a tournament while its been determined they should have been assessed a penalty, and would not have won? That opens a lot of controversy Actually my original post was wrong. Where it was struck doesn't factor into it. I corrected it w/ this explanation from ESPN: He could drop the ball, keeping the point where it last crossed the margin of the water between the hole and the spot on which the ball would be dropped. Since the ball entered the water well left of Woods' position from the fairway, Woods did not choose this option – which would have allowed him to drop on a straight line as far back as he wanted.

  18. That would have been my instinct too, and it would have been wrong. But how could tiger, a pro, and his caddie not know that?
  19. Lakers aren't going to win a championship any tine soon, so he was likely maxed on that count.
  20. He's done. I know he says he's already using it for motivation, but come on. 35 next year, in a sport that requires intense running, cutting and jumping.

  22. That's funny but ironic because the gangnum guy (south korean rapper Psy) has a history of virulent anti-US remarks....... In 2002, Psy walked onto the stage at a massive performance meant to protest the large U.S. military presence in South Korea. He wore an outlandish, glittered red costume and gold face paint. As the crowd cheered him on, Psy lifted a large model of a U.S. tank and, to cheers and applause, smashed it against the stage. Two years later, Psy joined several other performers in a concert, this one also protesting the United States and its military. He rapped a song titled “Dear American.”: Kill those —— Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives Kill those —— Yankees who ordered them to torture Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law, and fathers Kill them all slowly and painfully http://m.washingtonpost.com/blogs/worldviews/wp/2012/12/07/gangnam-nationalism-why-psys-anti-american-rap-shouldnt-surprise-you/
