the kid is going to be one of the the top 3 or 4 quaterbacks in the league within a few years. Want to make a friendly wager on that Cane? I'm smelling this decades version of Jeff George. The boy wonder with an incredibly strong arm, but thinks too highly of himself, is a cry baby, and makes horri...

I think they should trade him to the Lions for the #1 draft pick, which they could then use on a RB! You don't think Daunte is the man? What a huge fuckup by Mcdaniels though: Cassel may be a decent QB (how will he do on a medeocre team instead of the Evil Empire?) but he's not much of an upgrade, ...

The media certainly doesn't help-- and may exacerbate problems at some times-- but is not fundamentally responsible. This is not a mental or a psychological recession. It's a real recession based on real economic problems. Media coverage can shape our reaction to the crisis, but it did not cause an...

The mindset of Americans is skewed on this one. We should be pissed that our military is "awesome" compared to Canada's. Think of how much money we spend on defense / offense / murder, and how little we get out of it. And yet... fox news.... It's a matter of dollars and diplomacy. We coul...

I’ll be honest I was just trying to figure out which one of those guys was Winnow when I watched the clip. (For those who are bored and want to waste 4-5 minutes its at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcJn5XlbSFk ). I thought he was the skinny, annoying twerp that the blonde was protecting from the s...

This isn't anything new. A lot of Russians were enthusiastic about Glasnost, Perestroika and freedom but the reality hasn't been all they hoped for. They expected to turn into a Western European/US clone overnight. Instead they saw the Russian empire crumble with countries like Ukraine, the Baltic s...

Part of this goes into our own societal schizophrenia: we make rules, we tell people to obey them, we lay out consequences if they get caught breaking them and we say its the duty of everyone to ensure the rules are enforced, then we blacklist whistleblowers. We tell our kids from childhood those th...

I really have no idea how severe or how treatable this individuals schizophrenia is. Therapy and drugs can definately help treat this illness.

DAMN!!! $100-114 million for Albert Haynesworth??? He's good but thats a lot of coin for a lineman...damn the Redskins are throwing cash around. With Cassel on the move to KC I wonder what happens to the Evil Empire if Brady gets hurt again next year. Him and Vrabel for a 2nd round pick seems a barg...

From an outsider's perspective, it does seem like there are some deep political/philosophical divides but as Gzette said, nothing seems to be as large as the slavery issue was back in the 19th century. Also, while there may be "red" and "blue" states, you don't seem to be divided...

Disclaimer: I was pulling for the Steelers. My fiance being from that area is a huge fan and I was cheering with her. Fan loyalty: I don't think this is a worthy subject for a pissing contest.

I agree with Kilmoll in that this game will be decided by what the Cards can do in the first half: I've seen the Steelers make better half-time adjustments than their opponents so far in these playoffs and we also saw it how the Eagles charged back against the Cards on Sunday in the second half.

Full credit to Jice for using "paradoxilly" in a commentary on football. I'm still picking the Steelers based on their quality defense. 'cept he could have spelt paradoxically right :p and I don't know how he can say Hightower + cranky, old Edge James vs the Steelers run D > Willie Parker...

Every time Kilmoll posts on this subject I think about him fantasizing about being in a "Red Dawn" scenario thanking his god for his 2nd ammendment rights, except wouldn't he yell "Buckeyes" instead of "Wolverines"? I live in Western Canada. We're pretty redneckish up w...

I honestly believe the old adage that bad reffing affects both teams equally. A bad call can change momentum sometimes but by the same token, the Eagles had 50 some odd other minutes to stake their claim on tickets to Tampa and failed to do so. I missed the tail end of the Cards-Eagles doing some ch...

The poll should have been changed to "will the Lions win a game in the rest of this decade". I thought they had a little spark after last year; some problems but some upside too. Crap like dumping Shaun Rogers and the revolving door at RB made me shake my head. They need todo some major ho...

The "eh" thing is something you Americans laugh about us doing, but at least it beats a 3 syllable "huu-uuu-uuuh?". :p Actually when I went to the UK I noticed they say "eh" as much as we do, just we tend not to notice it as much with the rest of the difference in accent.

In the last 35 years, approximately 1108 people have been executed in the United States, and 129 people that were on death row have been exonerated.
