    Syria

    QUOTE (greg775 @ Sep 12, 2013 -> 04:55 PM) Putin is a horse's ass. Did you see his statement today about how it is unwise to praise one's own people or something like that? To acknowledge specialness in one's own people? He's a turd. He is quite a turd, but there is a grain of truth in the op-ed (which he probably didn't write). Americans patting themselves on the back and saying they're the best people/country in the world is the type of belief that leads us into these conflicts. It also has other effects, but those aren't so relevant here. You won't find a country with a bigger inferiority complex than the USA (even though I wonder if England/UK would give us a run for their money)

    September 11

    I've used this for some of my research and I thought some folks might find it a very interesting way to waste time http://archive.org/details/911 This has the feeds of many different TV channels (mainly news stations) from the US and a couple abroad starting in the hours before the attack and going on for the next several days. Crazy to see the reactions when the second plane hits
  5. Dunn has really been scuffling lately Leury > all
  6. I have: WR: Jordy Nelson WR: DeSean Jackson WR: Vincent Brown TE: Tony Gonzalez Flex: Alshon Jeffery Bench: Sidney Rice Denarius Moore Gronk Nate Burleson Shonn Greene What to do about WR3/Flex spots? Once Gronk returns, he'll have that Flex spot on lock presumably. Not sure who will take over that WR3 in the long run and can't decide who to start. The posted configuration is how I went last week. Brown did okay due to a TD catch, but only had the one catch. Moore had a good game, I had sat him because I had no idea how the Oakland offense was going to go. Rice didn't do much and I don't really expect him to. Burleson might be a guy that picks up some big numbers in the Detroit passing attack, but I don't know about this week @Arizona Also not sure about Alshon. Took him as a gamble just to give me another thing to root for in Bears games, but he remains an enigma to me. Seems like he ought to be one of the top 4 WR for now, but I don't really know

    9/11 Game

    Taking an absolute s*** on Archie Bradley
  8. I sold my iPhone 4 in June for 225 (before eBay took a surprisingly large chunk of that) Bought an HTC One and am never turning back
  9. FWIW, this thread is presenting QBR in a far more simplistic way than it is really calculated
  10. I saw an article on an Android website that said "Apple to invent color cell phones"
  11. QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Sep 10, 2013 -> 09:04 AM) Also, I have yet to see Microsoft do anything to distinguish the One from the PS4. When I buy a new system, I know what I'm getting What? You don't like the all-seeing eye?
  12. QUOTE (WilliamTell @ Sep 9, 2013 -> 11:50 PM) Any small grey zone where you could have a win/win or a lose/lose? I've had the lose/lose before, sucks big time! Yes, I came within 12 yards of that grey zone, lol
  13. a lawyer/lobbyist having sex with women outside of his marriage =/= a history of discriminatory rhetoric and policy
  14. If Foster plays well, I win in one league and lose in the other. Conflict
  15. I was going to buy Madden 25 Anniversary Edition to get the DirectTV streaming, but they're sold out. Oh well, I save 100 bucks and get to deal with s***ty bootleg streams
  16. Also, while we're happy to try to profit of our misfortunes, death is a tricky one. For someone that just lost a son, a legal battle in which reliving their son's death daily for an extended period of time is not always ideal. My brother died a few years ago in an accident in which he was hit by a car. It was a convoluted situation so I'll spare you the details, but we were advised that there was some chance of "winning" some money if we pursued things legally. That was the last thing my family felt like doing, especially when it was much more "accident" than the fault of any particular person/entity (even if we could feasibly make a court place the blame on said person/entity)

    9/9 Games

    Johnson stole 2 today, 5 in the series
  18. Very happy to see RG3 recover the way he did. Ended up getting a little over 20 points from him. I'll roll with him again next week, hopefully they burn the GB defense

    Hillary

    Greg, I don't find your qualms very compelling. These are concerns about every politician, to some extent. "We don't really know them" "What are they like in real life" "What are their motivations for seeking a high-powered office" Focus on political issues that you care about and how she is likely to address them

    Syria

    If Syria cedes its weapons at the behest of Russia, I'll be very pleased with how this worked out. It would seem, then, that Obama played his hand perfectly. Those who wanted a military response should be pleased as well as those who did not. I would think this would put Russia-US relations in a better place as well. Has to actually happen, though.
  21. Glad I have Vick as backup for RGIII. Going to be tough to decide who to start next week.
