Comments are closed for this entry.: Just wondering what's up with most of the locker room topics being closed. I was hoping to find out if gspm was alright. (by posting on the last EPL update)

Fantasy Football (NFL) Helpline: For those of us who have serious questions regarding this week's starting rosters or waiver wire pick ups. How about we help each other out!

sorry no post intended. I have noticed that you can edit multiple times, though.

Very cool, thanks for posting. I'd never seen the footage of Christy Mathewson before either, from 1906! Or the Honus Wagner and Ty Cobb footage, for that matter. That's quite a bit of history sitting in those archives.

I don't see how the ipod provides an unfair advantage if everyone is allowed to use one.
They have been found to release small amounts of tricthtophendrandro. Which is a stimulate naturally found in apple sugar, which is amplified through earbuds. duh.

Given the idiocy on the right, I think they should start looking to see if any of THEM have head injuries...
Politics and sports might mix better on Spofi, if comments like this, whatever. I'll pick my mood. Let it slide....blow up three years from now and be called a martyr. Sounds good.

I'm feeling a bit useless at the moment - just putting people in touch, sending documents and passing on messages mostly. .
Hey, in tough times even if it's all you can do, it's normally a bigger help than you might think. You know that already, I am sure many people are thankful for what you are doing. Thanks, owlhouse.
I was able to give a little in about 3 minutes. Here.

@tselson - several of my colleagues have lost relatives (the Samoan islands are very small, and extended families are huge, so everyone knows everyone else).
I am truly sorry. Do relief efforts seem to be on point with this tragedy?
If not, is there an organization that needs help?
/passing on a joke regarding my self imposed ban on the front page being over, and my deciding to check out the Olympic thread first.

Two posts gives you the right to a dismissive sneer. Four a snarky comment, and eight a blistering denunciation. Reach 10 and you can suggest my mother was undiscriminating in her choice of anonymous sex partners.

By my calculations, I owe you 6 posts. ( I don't think I could do a blistering denunciation without pulling something) And I would never say that about your mom but then again, I wasn't anonymous.
Sorry about coming across a bit grumpy - I'm caught up with relief efforts for the Samoa tsunami and now the Padang earthquake, both places where I've worked and have friends.
Hope your friends are okay, owlhouse.

but the point I was making is that you don't need religion in order to help out a fellow human being.
Of course not. I believe there's a story about a Samaritan that proves that has been the case for a very long time;) Hopefully for a long time to come, as well.
I felt obligated to post this as well. Minus the "happy to have been a help to you" quote which doesn't apply, but for some reason this book was in my garage and it felt right.
"Being master of one's mood is the privilege of the larger animals. Now, I shall withdraw, monsieur, happy to have been of help to you. Thank you; I'd accept if I were sure of not being a nuisance. You are too kind. Then I shall bring my glass over beside yours."
So, I will master my moods and I bring my glass over beside yours and we'll talk. Sports;)
Anyone name that book?

Okay for the second time I've stumbled across refresh or something that wipes out my draft. Maybe that's a good thing.
I felt responsible to respond in kind to any post here. I'll continue to do so but I don't like the arrogant, look they are listening to me feeling.
I like sports. I like a free steak dinner and maybe a speaker, just like the kid in Kentucky. I don't expect to have to pay for my steak dinner with my soul or watch people handle snakes (it was Baptist, not Catholic so wipe out the dirty thoughts) or speak in tongues or be made to take the body of Christ as dessert, when I come here for sports. So I get the beef with coach. Is it similar at all? Or am I rambling?
Owlhouse, with apologies to the people of rural Romania, I don't think too many people take that as a compliment.
In America we honestly have it hard when it comes to international travel. We are lucky to get a few long weekends, a week of vacation and maybe a day or two around the holidays. We don't get a mandatory two week holiday and four or five other weeks, like my dear friend in London does.
It makes overseas travel very expensive and unreasonable. I was only able to go because my father in law had transferred overseas. He's retired, I'll probably never be able to go again. Now, my dad and his brother have absolutely no interest in overseas travel. There is too much to see in this country, they say.
There is a lifetimes worth of things to see in America, but it's all American. I get what you are saying as far as Americans and their poor ratio of passport ownership goes, but it's unfair to assume it's simply due to ignorant bliss.
As far as religion never doing any good for anybody, how about a homeless guy walking into our church, and us loading him up with a pair of shoes and clothes. A little thing but good, no?
So just for you owlhouse,
Mickey and Minnie Mouse were in divorce court. The judge says, "Mr. Mouse, you have filed for divorce on the grounds that your wife is crazy, correct?"
"Crazy?" shouts Mickey. "Crazy? I didn't say she was crazy! I said she was fuckin' Goofy!!!!"

Thanks for listening, and again, my apologies that my earlier comment was hurtful.
Thank you. I can only reiterate that just because I'm considered to be a part of a religious majority, there is never a feeling of "if anyone questions my beliefs or mocks them outright, I will feel no pain because I'm in a majority."
And when it does happen, it can be honest and true mockery, majority or not. I'm alone at the keyboard. I can be wounded and scarred. I don't need to be poked in the eye to understand that it could be hurtful to poke someone else in the eye. I'm just a person, I am not a thing called majority.
Thank you, as well, llb. I appreciate your post. I really thought you would simply grind me into pebbles. So I guess I'll sum it up. I feel probably just like you do when that happens. And I'll admit that it happens to non Christians, in America, more than to Christians.
Fair enough?

Actually, after further review, that picture seems to have around 18 more people in attendance. They make a big difference though.

Sorry. I've been a little defensive, lately. If you've never been to Olympic Stadium, it's rather massive and sparsely populated. We had around 24 sections to ourselves. No vendors on that level, not even on the concourse.
I mean it was like a ghost town up there. This picture appears to have a couple thousand more in attendance than the game we went to.

On preview, it took me a long time to post that! So:
it is awfully easy to lump together all religious conservatives into a monolithic block of devolutionary ignorance - easy, yet inaccurate and good to have all sides heard. So keep it civil, but keep it real, would be my suggestion.
Yeah, that's a point well taken on my side, as well. (changing religious conservatives to you know, something else:)
On preview: Crap, I was trying to address all comments before I had to go.
Fatty, I'll just say I can agree with that as well.

Aluminum Bat Maker Liable in Baseball Player's Death
The jury ruled that the bats were not bad bats. They ruled that the company should have had labels. I think it is apparent that the parents went after the right defendants. American Legion and the rest didn't know the dangers of the bats because they were not adequately warned by the manufacturer.
The jury disagreed that the dangers of aluminum bats were common knowledge. The manufacturer lost because they failed to properly warn about the dangers of their bats.
Okay, so what label would have saved the kids life or the company $792,000.00?
