QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 09:59 PM) meh the "i vote for who celebrities say too!" group is already totally voting Obama He wasn't really trying to sway anyone's opinion, he was mostly just disappointed/pissed off that he bailed on him the day of the show and he had to scramble to start trying to make up time.

I'm still Mark Bradley's #1 fanboy. To be honest, Bradley's problem isn't a lack of talent, it isn't even injury issues. He has all the physical tools you could possibly want in a WR: He's big, strong, fast, and has good hands. If you were looking at a scouting report you'd think he was a Pro Bowler. His problem is that he's dumber than f***, like mildly retarded, and couldn't learn what to do on any given play.

QUOTE (Jenksismyb**** @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 04:59 PM) What I wouldn't give to see what the reaction would have been if Obama had done this. I believe it'd be along the lines of "the Messiah shows he's great yet again!" Seriously, I give props to McCain for this. Yes, he'll use it to his political advantage, but so what? Isn't that what each candidate has done 99.9% of the time the last 3-4 years? GMAFB. Everything they do is for political gain. If Obama had done something this gimmicky or desperate he would probably be getting flamed for, or at least have his wisdom strongly questioned by Democrats, it and deservedly so.

QUOTE (Reddy @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 05:03 PM) the point is that obama WOULDN'T have done this because it was a terrible decision. lol You know... speaking of that (and the post you replied to), I'm getting kind of tired of people saying Obama supporters will back him unconditionally no matter what he does or says. If he does something to piss them off, they will criticize him for it. Just use the FISA capitulation as an example, most Democrats reacted with clear disgust. Not disappointment, not disapproval. Disgust. Which brings us to... QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 05:45 PM) For the record, McCain hasnt cast a single vote since April. Where was he during FISA and the GI Bill? No where. Shouting at a distance. I probably would've preferred if Obama just missed the FISA vote too.

QUOTE (Athomeboy_2000 @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 03:29 PM) 538? what is that? It's one of the better sites out there for political analysis. I think the URL is www.fivethirtyeight.com

QUOTE (Dick Allen @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 03:28 PM) I really believe if the election were held today, McCain would win. I think unfortunately there are still a lot of people that when it comes time to actually vote will not vote for Obama because of his race. It didn't happen in the primaries, and there was no Bradley Effect there either. /shrug

QUOTE (DukeNukeEm @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 04:12 PM) Between suspending the campaign like never before in history (to my knowledge at least) and picking Sarah Palin as VP, the McCain campaign is without a doubt one of the most bats*** crazy campaign's ever. Not really... since I like football analogies, let's just say he's been running the hurry-up offense for the whole 4th quarter.

Haha, I feel better knowing that anytime I think of the president of Colombia I'm not the only one that thinks of our Uribe almost all the time.

We will see in the debates, maybe not for certain, but we'll at least have a much stronger indication. IMO if you want to refute the fact that your candidate doesn't know something what better way to say it then to have him/her go out there go tell everybody. If you can't do that, you can't do that though... and you can't hide it for that long, either. If you can, there's nothing to worry about. I've noticed at her speaking events where she is getting friendly softball questions from the crowd, they'll ask her a question, and she gives an answer that makes them all smile and feel good, but it doesn't actually answer the question. One example: someone asked if she could get more specific on her views to show people how smart she is, she said sure I can, ask me anything, play stump the candidate even. That was her whole answer though. Obama went through this earlier in the primaries though, his campaign had pretty strict discipline when he was bringing himself out, and on managing his image. But he had months and months to do it, too. Palin has weeks. We will be able to see during the debates what her answers to questions are (depending on how tough the moderator's questions are).

QUOTE (kapkomet @ Sep 24, 2008 -> 11:19 AM) Palin is a straight talker. (I know, that's a bad pun from the "Straight Talk Express"... but read me out). What I mean by that is, :lolhittingand I think Rex said it best in another thread , she gives a POLI 101 answer to a POLI 401 question, she talks plainly and simple. She doesn't give the "political bulls*** answer" that you'd hear from any of the other three. What does that mean? Most Americans, it's nothing - as a matter of fact, might even be somewhat refreshing. Our darling media? It means they will lamblast every freaking answer she has on anything until the cows come home, because she's not "sophisticated". Is that good or bad? It's both, frankly. That was in another forum actually

Just hit Morneau with a fastball and get it overwith.

God motherf***ing dammit.

Use that s***ty dome against them. Yes.

QUOTE (whitesoxbrian @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 03:43 PM) Watch and see. You won't be laughing come mid-January. This team is complete with just enough passing. Right now, they're the 2nd best team in the AFC, behind Pittsburgh. Although, with the way the Steelers played Sunday, you could say Buffalo is the #1 team right now. That Steelers O-line you saw vs. Philly was the actual Steelers O-line. It's pathetic. Somehow they got away with it for the first couple of games.

QUOTE (mr_genius @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 01:57 PM) the correct answer of "Republicans and Democrats" isn't even an option. +1

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 11:34 AM) I think that's in regards to my earlier post on this thread correct? I haven't read this thread. How far back is it?

QUOTE (BigSqwert @ Sep 23, 2008 -> 10:20 AM) lostfan = DBAHO Explain please?

If it had been more tasteful and it wasn't so obvious that the father was trying to get attention there probably wouldn't have been an issue. I imagine a kid coming to school with a shirt that says "Bush murders Iraqi babies" with a picture of dead bodies on it they probably would've been chastized too.

That was pretty damn thorough.

My supervisor really has a sweet ass... I can't resist the urge to turn around and look when she comes over here for coffee. She's married, but I'm pretty sure she's aware her ass is nice b/c her pants are always kinda tight.

lol, every now and again BearSox says something that isn't outrageously ridiculous.

QUOTE (Chisoxfn @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 03:01 PM) I understand the need for a bail-out. As much as I'd like to tell every bank out there to F off, the reality is if we do that we'd really be asking for a complete financial meltdown. However, I think things need to be done to ensure that this is a one time thing and that banks can't just expect the gov to jump in anytime they do something completely stupid. That said I'm not a proponent of leaving this up to the White House or anyone like that. This should be dealt with by the Fed Bank and those with key banking knowledge. This is pretty much what I'm about.

I think I just saw SS2K agree with AHB, albeit indirectly.

QUOTE (DBAHO @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 02:46 PM) How many receptions did he have last season? More than any Bears receiver I'd say (of course that really isn't too hard). He's been dealing with an injury also IIRC. What does what Galloway bring to the Bucs' offense have to do with the Bears' WRs?

QUOTE (scenario @ Sep 22, 2008 -> 01:43 PM) I think the whole Ozzie thing is a myth that fans for some reason just love to buy into. If Brian showed that he can hit major league pitching, he'd be playing. But he hasn't so he's not. If Brian had a .350 OBP rather than a .275, he'd be Ozzie's best friend. What I've noticed about Anderson is that he had a short, quick, low stance coming out of ST, and it was obvious he had been working on mechanics. He was looking really good in ST, and for the first month of the season. Then as time started to wear on, he didn't play all that much and he gradually stopped doing it, and now he has the same long swing again where he stands straight up.
