truth on hold

thats correct

They could probably shut lebron down and win too

How bad was he injured? I thought it was fairly routine acl stuff (if there is such a thing). And it happened early last year. But if he needs a year to recover then he'd still be out. Its odd that he's never mentioned as an option on a team that desparately needs help at guard

how in the world did this crappy hawks team make the finals

Looks like the average salary for a CFL player is around $100k. Thats not bad https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/cfl-55-yard-line/espn-sporting-intelligence-survey-has-some-fascinating-data-on-cfl-salaries-194534104.html

"I am very excited and proud to join the Montreal Alouettes and want to thank team Owner Robert Wetenhall, General Manager Jim Popp and Head Coach Tom Higgins for this opportunity," Sam said. "With the signing of Michael Sam, we have become a better organization today," Alouettes general manager Jim Popp said. "Not only have we added an outstanding football player, we have added even a better person that brings dignity, character, and heart to our team." http://edition.cnn.com/2015/05/22/us/michael-sams-football-gay/index.html

I do think hes reformed and wish he would get a 2nd chance, even in spite of the terrible he did. Not just for him but for his wife's sake who's now being victimized twice. But I highly doubt in this environment and the age clock ticking on a 28 year old back that happens

Deter Iran? Its what the heck is deterring Saudis we need to be concerned with Saudi Arabia Saudi Arabia is said to be the world's largest source of funds and promoter of Salafist jihadism,[90] which forms the ideological basis of terrorist groups such as al-Qaeda, Taliban, ISIS and others. Donors in Saudi Arabia constitute the most significant source of funding to Sunni terrorist groups worldwide, according to Hillary Clinton.[91] According to a secret December 2009 paper signed by the US secretary of state, "Saudi Arabia remains a critical financial support base for al-Qaida, the Taliban, LeT and other terrorist groups."[92] The violence in Afghanistan and Pakistan is partly bankrolled by wealthy, conservative donors across the Arabian Sea whose governments do little to stop them.[91] Three other Arab countries which are listed as sources of militant money are Qatar, Kuwait, and the United Arab Emirates, all neighbors of Saudi Arabia. Taliban and their militant partners the Haqqani network earn "significant funds" through UAE-based businesses. Kuwait is described as a "source of funds and a key transit point" for al-Qaida and other militant groups.[91][93] The Pakistani militant outfit Lashkar-e-Taiba, which carried out the 2008 Mumbai attacks, used a Saudi-based front company to fund its activities in 2005.[91][94] According to studies, most of suicide bombers in Iraq are Saudis.[95][96][97] 15 of the 19 hijackers of the four airliners who were responsible for 9/11 originated from Saudi Arabia, two from the United Arab Emirates, one from Egypt, and one from Lebanon.[98] Osama bin Laden was a Saudi by birth. His family is a wealthy one intimately connected with the innermost circles of the Saudi royal family. Starting in the mid-1970s the Islamic resurgence was funded by an abundance of money from Saudi Arabian oil exports.[99] The tens of billions of dollars in "petro-Islam" largess obtained from the recently heightened price of oil funded an estimated "90% of the expenses of the entire faith."[100] Throughout the Sunni Muslim world, religious institutions for people both young and old, from children's maddrassas to high-level scholarships received Saudi funding,[101] "books, scholarships, fellowships, and mosques" (for example, "more than 1500 mosques were built and paid for with money obtained from public Saudi funds over the last 50 years"),[102] along with training in the Kingdom for the preachers and teachers who went on to teach and work at these universities, schools, mosques, etc.[103] The funding was also used to reward journalists and academics who followed the Saudis' strict interpretation of Islam; and satellite campuses were built around Egypt for Al Azhar, the world's oldest and most influential Islamic university.[104] The interpretation of Islam promoted by this funding was the strict, conservative Saudi-based Wahhabism or Salafism. In its harshest form it preached that Muslims should not only "always oppose" infidels "in every way," but "hate them for their religion ... for Allah's sake," that democracy "is responsible for all the horrible wars of the 20th century," that Shia and other non-Wahhabi Muslims were "infidels", etc.[105] While this effort has by no means converted all, or even most, Muslims to the Wahhabist interpretation of Islam, it has done much to overwhelm more moderate local interpretations, and has set the Saudi-interpretation of Islam as the "gold standard" of religion in Muslims' minds.[106] Critics[who?] have argued that by its nature, Wahhabism encourages intolerance and promotes terrorism.[107] Former CIA director James Woolsey described it as "the soil in which Al-Qaeda and its sister terrorist organizations are flourishing."[108] http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/State-sponsored_terrorism

Flip-side, I wonder what the annual insurance costs are for that piece

It's a good question you ask. And the answer is that Sunni countries by and large don't help us against Sunni extremists, as the extremists are doing their dirty work against the Shiites. And the Shiites (Iran, Assad, Hezbollah) whom are the only ones willing to take on the Sunni extremists are opposed by powerful Saudi and Israel influences in Washington. So even though they're our natural allies, we're stuck catering to our "alleged" allies, at great cost.

Ed Wang I bought it on the off chance he'd become at least a solid starter and the first ethnically Chinese player in the NFL would have 1 billion+ people bidding for his rookie memorobilia. That didn't work out, and now it's just taking space in my closet, and I wish I had my $50 back

Flopodopolis or not, if hes nailing 3's from the perimeter not much "I'm taking my talents to the shores of lake Erie" can do about it

Situation is just a sad one all the way around: 2 people are dead, quality NFL career wasted, 25 years old and life without parole, mother crying at the sentencing, she was quoted as saying he was greatly effected and rebelled when at 16 his father died... I just don't find any humor in this at all

Bills 0 & 1 start

Going to be warriors - cavs. Was hoping rockets - cavs for a harden - lebron rematch. But lets face it, warriors have rockets number

Stones I was at a bar playing their stuff and it was great, never realized how many good tunes they had. And many sounded just as current as they must have been when they came out. Beatles stuff just sounds dated...60's rebellion stuff is over.

Congrats man, is nice to have some good news like that

Picasso masterpiece Les Femmes dAlger, which recently sold at Christies for a record $180 million, could be on its way to Qatar, art-world sources tell Page Six. The most expensive painting ever sold at auction is said to have been bought by billionaire former Qatari Prime Minister Hamad bin Jassim bin Jaber Al Thani. http://pagesix.com/2015/05/20/buyer-of-record-setting-picasso-painting-revealed/?_ga=1.221791964.532058585.1430552019

Our Next Mideast War – Syria by Patrick J. Buchanan, May 15, 2015 As one might expect, Sen. Lindsey Graham is all in. Late in April, he declared, "Assad has to go. … We’re going to have to send some of our soldiers back into the Middle East." Graham is willing to commit 10,000 U.S. ground troops. "I would integrate our forces within a regional army. There is no other way to defend this nation than some of us being on the ground over there doing the fighting." Wednesday, The Washington Post laid out the game plan for war on Syria. While we cannot create a NATO with kings, emirs, sheiks, and sultans, says the Post, "[T]here is a way that Mr. Obama could serve both the U.S. interests and those of the Gulf allies: by attacking the Middle East’s most toxic, and destabilizing force, the Bashar al-Assad regime in Syria. Syria’s dictatorship is Iran’s closest ally in the region, and its barbarity opened the way for the rise of the Islamic State. Recently, it has suffered battlefield reverses, in part because of increased Gulf aid to rebel forces. "If Mr. Obama were to … create safe zones in northern and southern Syria for the rebels, the balance could be tipped against Damascus and Tehran – and U.S. allies would have tangible reason to recommit to U.S. leadership." Consider what is being recommended here. The Post wants Obama to bomb a Syrian nation that has not attacked us, without congressional authorization – to aid rebels whose most effective fighters are al-Qaida and ISIS terrorists. And we’re to fight this war – to nullify ultra-rich but unhappy Gulf Arabs? Obama must also "do more about Iranian aggression," says the Post. But against whom is Iran committing aggression? In Syria, Iran is backing a regime we recognized until a few years ago, that is under attack by terrorist rebels we detest. In Iraq, Iran is backing the government we support, against ISIS rebels we detest. Bottom line: A U.S. attack on Syria is being pushed by the War Party to propel us into a confrontation with Iran, and thereby torpedo any U.S. nuclear deal with Iran. http://original.antiwar.com/buchanan/2015/05/14/our-next-mideast-war-syria/

that same game one of the young Olinemen .. forgot which one ... went after Watt after he dove at EJ's knees twice

This means .... Wisely for them .... they took starting qb selection out of Chan's hands, as that goof ball thought his scheme to be so sophisticated only a genius could run it

McCain's Militia on the move again (sung to the tune of "On the Road Again) ISIS Seizes Ancient Syrian City of Palmyra BEIRUT ISIS Extremists seized almost full control of the ancient Syrian town of Palmyra after government defense lines there collapsed on Wednesday, though it remained unclear how close to the famed archaeological site the extremists advanced, activists said. "I am terrified," said Maamoun Abdulkarim, Syria's director-general of antiquities and museums. "This is a PR battle for Daesh, and they will insist on scoring victory against civilization by destroying" the ancient ruins, he said, using the Arabic acronym for the group. http://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/isis-terror/isis-seizes-ancient-syrian-city-palmyra-n362191

I don't care what he says. I know what I saw all year long: guards who got no push in the run game, and often were blown several yards into the backfield. cJ, Fred, and brown had all proven to be capable backs in other situations. They weren't the problem

McCoy hardly fell into their lap. They paid up big and traded the DRoY runner up. I'd undo that trade in a heartbeat. Use the money to further beef up the oline and other areas of need, and have kiko coming back. The problem wasn't brown or any of the backs last year, it was the interior oline.
