It's actually a really stout little aircraft....with the emphasis being on "little". Planes in the LSA class aren't meant for aerobatic maneuvers and don't carry the same FAA requirements for pilot certification so Halladay's inexperience in addition to the limitations of the aircraft (LSAs are...

No disrespect at all meant to Halladay's family but he was an idiot to fly this (or any) plane in that manner. An inexperienced pilot doing dangerous maneuvers in an LSA that is being marketed as a "flying jet ski" is a very predictable recipe for disaster. The Icon is a very cool concept but...

I dunno, Bodie. I would bet against them for sure if I had to but I won't be shocked if they somehow find a way to beat ND. They seem to have a penchant for that sort of thing this year. I still don't like Malik Rosier as a passer (yeah, yeah I know...."all he does is win"....until he loses)...

R.I.P. to Roy Halladay. Very sad news indeed....tragically taken from us way too young. :crying:

I thought Mizzou had a shot in this one but they way they blew the Gators out was a surprise. As shitty as the Tigers are this year and as much bad press that has been heaped on Barry Odom, he's actually got them in a position to be bowl-eligible if they win out. Unbelievable. Me neither. I...

I think Todd McLellan is probably more concerned about the Oilers' point total than he is about McDavid's but that's just a guess. :dunno:

WOW.....this series is turning into a classic! Just crazy action! :rolleyes: My God what a war of attrition last night....like watching Ali & Frazier trade punches until both are bruised and battered. LA definitely has the better bullpen but, at this stage, I'm not sure it matters a whole...

Well. tied at 2 so I would say that whoever wins tonight is a serious bet to win it all. Kershaw is more than likely to be on again tonight but the Astros have more than a puncher's chance with Keuchel going for them so it should be a good one. Really enjoying the drama in this so far....great...

:facepalm: Sad times in Tallahassee. Jimbo is on the hot seat. Miami is due for a serious dose of instant karma after the piss-poor showing they gave today in Chapel Hill against UNC. The Tar Heels did everything they could to give the game away to the Canes and yet Miami still managed to...

Additonally, John Farrell is gone. Dusty Baker is gone. Joe Maddon's coaching staff has been purged. I guess making the playoffs isn't good enough.

"It ain't over 'til it's over" - Yogi Berra It's why baseball is and shall ever remain my favorite sport. High drama. This is going to be a terrific series. Thanks amigo but I am not really an Astros fan (diehard Cardinal fan although I will admit to being a bit of a bandwagoner right now...

I went with history....the Rocket first to 50 and Martin Brodeur's wins record. Being a Blues fan, I simply can't vote for either Orr's or Yzerman's goals on principle.

In all probability, this is likely a fluke and will come crashing down sooner than later. However, what a fairy tale come true it would be if this keeps up! The stuff from which legends are made. Beating the Hawks is no small feat indeed but much of this is likely fueled by the adrenaline...

I would basically agree, Scott, but there is a big difference between venting and pulling things down into the gutter. No punches pulled is fine when it comes to opinions and analyses but when we get the kind of 5th grade schoolyard nonsense that goes on way too often here it should be...

And I'll jump in here and say I agree with you, Mayhem. I have stayed out of this latest spewage on here since I have already been through this not so very long ago. I thought others had learned their lessons but apparently not. Unfortunate to say the least.

:goodpost:

They are. No weaknesses. The Stros need to man up and start hitting. I'll give 'em a pass on Kershaw (he was almost unhittable last night....dude is GOOD) but when it's Verlander against Hill you'd have to believe this is not only winnable for Houston but it is a MUST win to have any chance...

Reddick looks like a deer in the headlights right now. These guys need to relax and just play baseball. To quote Clint Hurdle when it comes to the playoffs...."The game don't know how big it is".

I despise the format as well. Is MLB really so cheap they can't afford the extra travel in a standard 2-2-1-1-1 format? A split on the road now is a possible death sentence for the home club from my view as well. Bums have the advantage in both starting and relief pitching so I give them an...

Miami is indeed an impostor as far as the playoff is concerned. We've been stumbling around and somehow finding a way to win each week so far. My guess is that we'll be exposed against Notre Dame two weeks from now. In the meantime, I'm enjoying the ride while it lasts and I must say that...

Wow. A spin-a-rama pass for the tap in goal??? Nobody else makes that play. Crazy.

Congrats to the Dodgers. They totally dominated the Cubs and will make a formidable opponent to their counterpart from the AL in the Series. The Yankees have taken the LCS right away from Houston. The Astros bats have gone silent and they appear to be pressing now so I give NY the clear...

No, Will. Don Cornelius died a couple of years ago. This is where this PC stuff really starts to grate on me. "Indigenous Peoples' Day"?? Most people don't even know what the fuck that means. Just the fact that someone feels we need to take a whole day (WOW! :eek:) to recognize some group...

I'm sorry Johan but this simply is not true. Sure there are some people who may want this and some may think Sharia law is such a threat but it sure as hell isn't a "large chunk" of US citizens. Much ado about nothing.

My tongue was implanted firmly in cheek with my remark, Rod. My guess is that LVK will have a very dismal record once the regular season is over. On another note, it's always a good night when the Blues beat the Blackhawks. :thumbsup...

Well, it sure was when I went to college! :1orglaugh Yes, I've seen a number of them through the years. I think the terms "left" or "right" can mean different things to different degrees to different individuals in different regions of the country. It's a case where perception truly can...

This. Trump, despite the bombastic rhetoric, has no moral compass (at least not one that I can identify). He worships at the altar of his own self-gratification, self-glorification and the acquisition of wealth and power. In many ways, he is not at all dissimilar to his pal Putin since...

An Orwellian question....what happens when cheap, abundant low-skilled labor is no longer a commodity that the military-industrial complex demands? :dunno:

LVK look to be a juggernaut. Insane.

No. I am speaking strictly in colloquial terms, not scientific ones. In today's America the words "left" and "right" are tossed about with little regard to their true implications and that's what I am guilty of doing here. Honestly, I didn't think it necessary to qualify any of this on a forum...

I don't think it will be all that long before we are right in the middle of it, Supa. Hell, it's happening right now with the advent of self-driving cars and the proliferation of the use of drones. The first industrial revolution took about 180 years to go from the development of the steam...

Interesting dissection. One might also make a broader assertion that the industrial revolution that began with James Watt & Eli Whitney is still going on and is simply being manifested in the current continued development of computer technology, AI and whatever may come after that (mental...

A genetic splice between a dolphin and a goose perhaps? :dunno:

The left is not the Dems by a longshot....in spite of the blurry lines your right-oriented views might want to connect. Bernie Sanders was rejected by the Dems, remember? However, I guess they would seem to be moving left when it's actually the right that's been moving, Scott. Didn't y'all...

Oh....RT....also, semantics being in the way here I would like to specify that when I refer to "hard" views on the left, I am referring to such things as free public education through college, universal health care, a liberalized immigration policy and equal rights for all American citizens...

No, I don't, Scott. Just like I don't think it's in the best interests of the GOP to run with Bannon and his group. The rush to extremism creates a serious risk of isolation within a specific group of like-minded constituents (unless the extremism is state-mandated) and such a political party...

Yeah. The Daily Caller ist die Wahrheit!

Yeah. And add to the fact the dude has been dead for over 60 years.... This just in....Hermann Goering was NOT a good person! LOL :rolleyes: Johan is right about the symbolism. He's an anti-establishment martyr who is largely myth (as are most martyrs). OK, that's settled. What's up...

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to cornytone again. I nominate this as political post of the year. You are 100% absolutely dead-on-balls correct in your assessment, mr. cornytone. You are also quite literally a man without a country if you are truly a centrist because...

Miami was lucky as hell to win that game. Richt's moronic idea to start the second half with an onside kick blew up in his face and could have spelled doom. I love the Canes but I honestly don't see how they can keep hoping for miracle comebacks every week and remain in the playoff hunt...

He sure did but Keuchel was just as good the previous game for the Stros. They are going to be hard to beat in a 7 game series since you'll see both of these guys twice if it goes 7 games and they each look to be almost unhittable the way they are pitching. Yanks only chance is to get to the...

The face-off violation penalty for the second man is pretty extreme as well. A lot to get used to as you say.

My Blues are off to a surprising start considering their injury situation and the brutal road schedule these first two weeks. We stumbled last night against a fast and tenacious Panther team. We looked tired....4 games in 6 days on the road will do that sometimes. If we can come back home at...

Yeah Auburn's offense seems to have found the key in the passing game now so they are going to be tough going forward. They have made a lot of big plays for huge gains this year. I think they'll beat and cover against LSU as well. I hope the Canes don't suffer a letdown after that thrilling...

Yeah that game was painful to watch. What a battle of attrition! Absolutely heroic performance in relief by Wade Davis. I think Maddon himself would have had to take the mound if somehow the Nats had tied it in the 9th and the game had gone to extra innings. The Nats and Dusty Baker seem to...

LOL....yeah. Especially on defense, right? Gotta give credit where it's due I would say. Miami can't do anything on offense at all. Looks like somebody forgot to tell FSU they suck this year.

I certainly do. We haven't beaten the Noles since 2009. The symbolism of a win at this point in Mark Richt's tenure would signal a potential changing of the guard in the pecking order in the ACC and would also mean a helluva lot as it pertains to recruiting efforts in the state of Florida...

Trump doesn't give a flying fuck about health care reform save for the fact that it benefits his ongoing crusade to undo anything Obama did and he would make a deal with Satan himself (hell, maybe he already has) in order to get that accomplished.

Yes, I thought the same thing. What kind of asshole who just happens to be the leader of the free world and the most powerful nation on earth gives a wink and a "we'll see" just because he can and just to hold that fact over the entire world?? What an incredibly irresponsible and reckless (and...

I don't think we can afford to do any speculating about what Iran may or may not do in the future at this point. The crafters of this agreement knew it was a temporary measure when it was drawn up. It's a "here-and-now" deal whose only option is to remove all control and oversight and let...
