A humble thanks for the rep, my friend. May you and your ****** find some consolation in the fact that so many care about your loss and pray for your ability to move on as Don would so obviously want you to. He sounds like he was a very remarkable man. I would have liked to have met him...

The Cubs keep on adding to their pitching staff by signing ex-Cardinal closer Jason Motte to a $4.5 million contract. It's a high-risk, high-reward situation with Motte coming off Tommy John surgery last year. He never regained his velocity after his rehab and Trevor Rosenthal firmly...

Deepest condolences, Ace. I lost my ****** in October so I am keenly aware of your feelings right now. Mourning is good....it honors those who have departed and helps those who are left find a way to move on. May he rest in peace.

I don't want Clinton either but what if the republican nominee is Ted Cruz? Choice between the lesser of two serious evils at that point. Is there a republican out there who would be an acceptable alternative to Clinton? Is there anyone who can really mount a serious challenge to Hillary if...

Thanks for that, fox. Very uplifting story. :thumbsup:

To avoid any attempt at avoiding transparency, I'd strongly suggest that all picks be posted here for all to see. Usually, we just copy Rodger's list, paste it into a new post and highlight the winners....lazy fucks that we are by nature!

Not to seem petty Robert but they didn't sign John Mabry Jr., they signed John Mayberry Jr. John Mabry is the Cardinals' batting coach. No small signing BTW....Mayberry hits the **** out of lefthanded pitching. Nice pickup for $1.45 million.

Thanks Rodger. I'll be submitting mine closer to the deadline but I'd like to thank you for your willingness to tackle this project again this year. May the luckiest man win!

Cardinals get a major RH power bat off the bench in Mark Reynolds. Yeah, I know he strikes out a lot but there aren't a lot of other options out there than can present a similar power presence in a pinch-hit scenario. He won't be needed for much else....maybe spell Matt Adams against specific...

Welcome to Freeones!

OK, I'll concede that opposition to gay marriage isn't exclusive to "old, white rural whites" (a bad stereotype, sorry). So what? I too will apologize to the OP for hijacking the thread in this direction so I'll simply say that it is a fact that blacks, Hispanics and the LGBT crowd...

Dude, I just admitted to you that I myself, who most on this board would likely describe as a flaming liberal, have conservative viewpoints on many issues. And it wasn't the "liberal" base that sunk gay marriage as it applies to the black voters who were against the proposition, it was a...

Actually, on second thought, I'd **** in it and then tell him I just couldn't get those ***-gum mud stains out. :D

In what manner is that being convenient? :confused: It's just the truth.

Under the law, yes. I might **** inside the hood before I run it through the dry-cleaning process though. ;)

Allow me to clarify this for you. I am not singling out republicans....I am singling out conservatives regarding social issues. The bloc of black voters who voted against the proposition aren't liberals on that issue, they are conservatives.

No, they aren't. They are equals and should be treated as such without exception. Johan is correct....the 14th amendment guarantees these rights under the constitution and is the justification for all civil rights legislation that has been enacted since. If you want to be able to discriminate...

OK. That surprises you? Does every conservative march in lockstep on every issue? As the great Will Rogers once said, "I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a democrat". Oh...and sorry, I thought you lived in Oregon. My bad....

Just for bragging rights. You in, feller? Nope....gotta pick the winners outright. First bowls are December 20. You'll make 7 of us if feller and hustler will join. 39 if you count the playoff games. Are you in, hustler?

Wow. Nearly $26 million a year. Bold move by the Cubs....it had better pay off. I wonder if they will move on Cespedes next?

Yes....and that is their goal. If they can get us to turn our back on the basic human rights ideals upon which our nation was founded, they win. Quite obviously, regarding our willingness to use ******* as an official governmental policy, they've already won. If we are willing to abandon...

Instructions and link to another thread will be forthcoming, Bobby boy. That's 4 of us so far....

Big partisan debate whether this information threatens American national security or exposes a huge misplacement of supposed American values. Unfortunately, I feel the data gravitates toward the latter even though the former may have practical credence. Bummer....and very disillusioning.

Check your inbox.

That just sent chills up my spine. :eek:

Thanks Rodger. Seems like we've lost a lot of members. I am in, so is bodie and you'll make 3 of us. Not nearly enough to make it interesting. Let's see a show of hands, guys. Who else?

Honestly, I don't keep up with with Peter King's rankings. I was just being a smart-ass since being ranked 15th by some sportswriter just doesn't seem all that momentous. I guess it makes a pretty serious statement about how bad the Rams have been in recent years that you are likely to be...

So, that means, according to him, they are the #15 ranked team in the league? Wow....what an honor. LOL....

Yes....and as in gay rights in general. I forgot to mention women as well so add them to the exclusion list I already submitted (even though you can find plenty of women who are conservative). I never referred to Obama as the paragon of liberal ideals (he most certainly isn't in fact) so you...

Simple. Because their platform has consistently said that. Do you really believe the conservative movement embraces gay rights? If so, you haven't been paying attention. LOL....meself as well! :D

If that's your political persuasion being young, ethnic (what ethnicity are you if I may ask?) and urban, you are a minority. Statistics say so. Center-right? That's been the claim for decades but there is no quantitative data to back that up....maybe it's true but it truly is immaterial...

The conservative movement will never enjoy a true majority since their platform is exclusive of too many demographic groups that they find unacceptable. Their very attitude in and of itself makes them a minority. However, that fact is irrelevant since the only thing that matters is who...

I know nobody respects the Rams since they have been one of the worst teams in the league for many years but they have outscored their opponents 76-0 over the past 2 games. Greg Williams' defensive strategy is finally starting to establish itself as their defensive line is not only sacking the...

I'm being optimistic?? LOL....I figured people might blast me for being too glum. I don't see things getting better with the next president either....especially if that president is another democrat. If it's a republican, it'll be reverse obstructionism from the dems as the minority party...

Uhhh...never mind. I guess I can't read maybe? :dunno: :facepalm:

Yeah I noticed the crickets as well. Likewise, unemployment is the lowest it's been in 3 years and new jobs are tracking close to the dotcom days of the 1990s: http://www.bostonglobe.com/business/2014/12/05/usjobs/0rlfSKlm0hVLMoefAt94CL/story.html?comments=all&sort=HIGHEST_RATING I think...

I'll play but too lazy to be the host. You want the job again, bodie? You are sooooo gooood at it! BTW, the committee jobbed the Big 12. I guess if they still had a conference championship game, the winner of that would have trumped Ohio State?? So fucked up it's unbelievable.

I must second the congrats to smoker and his Tide....they were clearly the better team against Mizzou. :clap: I'm not going to argue about the rankings however so we'll just wee how it plays out. Personally, I think Alabama and Oregon are the 2 best teams in the nation, FSU closely behind and...

Thanks for the Beliveau rep!

And he will not answer them, Mayhem, because he cannot answer them. All he knows how to do is spew out his venomous nonsense like some trained parrot (no offense meant to parrots by the way, it's just a metaphor ;))....all the while making vague assumptions about both large groups and...

And this insipid comment has exactly what to do with my post?

You are looking at it from a philosophical and societal perspective. I am looking at it from a practical perspective. I would not be allowed to make political demonstrations as part and parcel of my regular job responsibilities and neither should those players while they are wearing the...

Thanks for the rep, feller!

Interesting question but the answer is obvious. Man, by his very nature, is an aggressive creature. Where there is aggression, there is bound to be conflict. Where there is conflict, there is bound to be ********. Where there is ********, there can be no peace. Alas, it has always been thus...

Man, Arizona is ranked #7? What a joke! They have ZERO offense. Solomon SUCKS at QB. If I am wrong then Oregon has the most underrated defense in the nation. How in the hell did the Wildcats beat them in the regular season? :dunno:

That's Olbermann's opinion....not fact. Yes, the historical references he made are factual, but the issues we are discussing here are totally different from what he was using as illustrations of "political statements" being made as long ago as the 1880s. Those issues were directly related to...

It is also notable that Colorado finished in first place in the West Central Division but got rubbed out by Minnesota as well so surprises aplenty in the SC playoffs. It's part of what makes the NHL so great IMO. On a side note, we need to pay homage to one of the classiest and most talented...

It's way too early to see who might emerge. Look at Montreal and New York last season....no one would have picked them to go far in the playoffs. The Hawks certainly have the talent but we'll see how things go. They couldn't beat the Kings last year and neither could anyone else.
