QUOTE (Texsox @ Dec 17, 2008 -> 07:42 AM) What-a-Burger >>> any other fast food burger Getting back to the ads, it does seem to be exploitative. I'm not outraged, but mildly uncomfortable. But they are, in a way, just actors playing a role. GO GET AN A-1 BURGER its the best thing ever

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 13, 2008 -> 11:46 PM) Can't compare T.O. and Pacman. T.O. is a mentally ill (even assuming he didn't attempt suicide, he still is mentally ill in my opinion) person who seems to have never received help and/or just does not want help, and Pacman is just a really, really bad guy. Big difference. Yeah, you can compare them. In fact, ide say that Owens is by far the worst of the two. What does Pacman Jones going to a strip club and causing a problem have to do with the Tennessee Titans and what they do on the field on Sundays? Absolutely nothing. Owens on the other hand, causes problems with his coaches.. his quarterback.. ownership.. the media.. his teammates.. One person is directly causing the franchise to suffer while the other is just a moron on his own time which does not effect the ultimate goal, which is winning on Sundays. Owens isn't mentally ill, he is just a selfish asshole who has to have it his way or the highway. Apparently him and Witten got into a scuffle over the most recent "play scandal" report. He has done this three times now to three different teams. He is worse than Pacman. -

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Dec 12, 2008 -> 11:06 PM) TO will be playing for the Titans next year, and he'll ruin what they have there, too, once Young struggles. I really do hate the Cowboys. There are a few guys I like (Romo, Ware, Barber) but there are so many asshats (both Roy W's, TO) that it makes me dislike them. Uh, there is no way TO would ever play for the Titans.. They kicked Pacmans ass out of town, what makes you think they would ever accept Owens? -
QUOTE (Cali @ Dec 13, 2008 -> 03:41 AM) I have gotten so out of metal in the last 3 or 4 years. It takes a lot for me to give you a consistent listen, but the ones that make it: Every Time I Die - Keith is the best lyricist in Metal today. Period. The Dillinger Escape Plan - If only for the insane live show. Converge - What they do every album amazes me. They stay relatively the same but remain fresh at the same time. Between the Buried and Me - The last album might have gone a little too proggy, but I still enjoy the hell out of them. Misery Signals - I miss the old singer, but they can still be brutal when they want to be. HORSE the Band - Funniest Metal Band Ever. All That Remains - Phil has the best scream in Metal. Haven't given the new album many spins though. Machine Head - First Metal band I ever really got into, they've had some down years early in the decade, but The Blackening rules. All That Remains is awesome Metal is pretty much the majority of what I listen to, I love it

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person that realizes that all you do in those games is the press the right button when it shows up on the screen. Not exactly a mind building game. You obviously aren't any good at the game because its a lot more than that, and its fun as hell

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 12:44 PM) What if Texas Tech had lost by 7 to 10 points at Oklahoma? As bad as it is now, there would REALLY be no way to seperate the 3 tied teams in that senario, except that Oklahoma would be the only one of the three to not play either of the other two on the road, but even that doesn't work since OU is the only one that had to play at Oklahoma State. I just don't think point differential should eliminate Texas Tech, even if they had only lost by 7-10 they would still have fallen back behind OU and Texas in the polls because they lost last.. They still beat Texas, and has the same record as the other two teams.. -

QUOTE (rowandrules83 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) You can say zero chance all you want. Hell, I'm not even saying that I disagree with that. But the only true way to definitively know that is by a playoff. And it's not just the Boise States and the Utahs. You named about 6 teams as examples of big, tough teams. Well, Texas, Florida, USC, OU, Penn St, Texas Tech, Alabama all have one loss or less. Is it really the ideal solution to let a computer and sportswriters decide which two are the best? USC had an easier schedule than any of the Big 12 teams and is a longshot to get to the title game. But talent-wise, they match up with any school in the nation. Why shouldn't they get a chance? Or any one of the several one loss teams for that matter? Look, if it's just gonna end up being the same 2 teams in the end like you said, then a playoff wouldn't hurt. It would eliminate controversy and leave the results on the field. And seeing as the regular season ends this weekend, a hypothetical 8-12 team playoff could start next weekend, which would have the season end the first week in January, the same week it ends now. So making the season longer wouldn't be that much of an issue. You're right, the only true way to find out is with a playoff.. but common sense can dictate that the only teams who will benefit from it is the big players.. Utah is going to a BCS game, I am sure that their team is excited as well as the school.. I don't think that same excitement is there if its a 12 team playoff and they are one of the last seeds and have to go to Florida for their first game.. And yes, it is ideal to let the computers and voters decide who goes where.. Who you play matters, USC didn't play a tough schedule at all and lost to a solid Oregon State team.. OU lost to Texas, Texas lost to Texas Tech, and Texas Tech lost to OU.. I don't think there is any argument that all three of those teams would get greater consideration than USC for who they played and who they lost to. -

QUOTE (rowandrules83 @ Dec 2, 2008 -> 01:38 AM) I could counter-argue that I think they would've beat Florida and USC and whoever else they could've played, but neither of us could be proven right or wrong. That's the flaw in the system. The only definitive way to decide how good or over-rated Boise State really is is in a playoff. If we were to argue who would win a particular matchup in any other sport's championship, no matter what we said, the result on the field would speak for itself. Any system where there has been multiple times where there have been national co-champions, decided by computers and sportswriters, probably isn't the best system. You cant counter argue that though.. thats just you saying a bunch of stuff, not an argument There is absolutely ZERO chance that Boise State/Utah could beat Oklahoma, Texas, Florida, USC in consecutive weeks Of course everyone can compare professional playoffs, but all those playoff teams are around even ground.. each team will have some all stars.. Boise State doesn't have that.. Utah doesn't have that.. The difference in talent between Florida, Texas, OU, Alabama, USC, Penn State, etc and those two schools is so ridiculously large.. Talent will always win out in the end, always.. and that's why there is no chance these small school and their 2-3 star recruits will ever do anything in a playoff.. and all we've done is make a season even longer when its just going to be the same teams at the end anyways.. -

There are a lot of people who don't tip period at the bar.. I live in Katy, Texas.. Its not a major city, and there is no college around unless you count U of H which is 35 minutes away but people wont be coming out here to drink, they'd be going into Houston.. I only bring this up because my Ex Girlfriend who works as a bartender here would make $300 to $400 a NIGHT on the weekend.. That's Thursday, Friday, Saturday.. and that's with people who don't tip.. and shes not a waitress, she is behind the bar making the drinks and turning around and taking a cap off a bottle for someone.. If you don't feel that's worth a tip, don't tip.. I don't think its worth a tip either but I still throw em a couple bucks because it feels like you have to.. Either way, they are gonna be making a lot of money anyways..

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:54 PM) I agree in the end there is no way to do it. Even if I come to the side that OU belongs in the Big 12 title game here though, which I will do for the sake of argument, you can't have Tech in there. When you have 3 teams dead even in overall and league record, something like margin of loss in the one loss is going to matter, and unfortunately for Tech their loss was an ass kicking. Now, I will say this, if OU loses Saturday and Texas makes the national title game, I will be right back here saying how Tech got screwed because if that happens, it becomes a Tech against Texas argument and I go back to head to head in that case. I just don't like how all the Texas fans are throwing a fit over this, yet, not ONE of them would agree that Tech should be in front of them since they beat them head to head.. Even if OU embarrassed them, that shouldn't take away their win over Texas or their 11-1 record.. I think they are as deserving as Texas and OU in terms of who goes to the Big 12 title game.. but OU is there, like they should be, and its over with If you think about it, Tech is getting the worse jobbing of this situation.. not only are they not even considered to go to the Big 12 title game.. they don't even get to go to a BCS game -

QUOTE (DrunkBomber @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 07:08 PM) Whenever his suspension is up there will be teams lined up to sign him. He is a rare, freakish talent. However, he is a POS as a teammate but that wont stop him from getting another chance. Hell, Mike Vick will get another chance. I don't understand how he wont be going to jail for 3 1/2 years New Yorks law is anyone carrying a loaded fire arm without a permit gets a minimum 3 1/2 year sentence.. They had the NY mayor on the radio earlier and he said they are going to prosecute him to the fullest.. -

QUOTE (whitesoxfan101 @ Dec 1, 2008 -> 09:40 PM) You schedule a stronger OOC slate in order to get favor with the computers to get into a BCS bowl or the natonal title game, but it shouldn't determine who wins a conference. Oklahoma shouldn't win the Big 12 South because they played TCU and Cincinnati IMO. Theres just no way to do it And it really pisses me off that everyone has thrown Texas Tech away in these discussions.. I listened to ESPN Radio all day and all it was, was Texas and OU talk.. not once did anyone mention Texas Tech They finished 11-1 (7-1) too, how come there is no argument for them? Why is it that Texas got hosed and they should be going instead of OU? Tech beat them, yet, I don't hear anyone talking about them.. And im not talking about the BCS convo because obviously they were too far back (Which is also BS because they are penalized for losing last), but for other scenarios no one is even bringing them up.. -
