There is a long line of terrible and hate-filled ideas in the scripture on which christian faiths are based. Even by modern practices, I think they are credulous and divisive ideas at best.

I actually think Tebow's performance was somewhat inflated by the fact that he came in mid-season. Vick did the same thing last year and had huge games as defensive coordinators scrambled to throw a makeshift game plan together on the fly to try to contain his ground game. Look at what happened...

Honest question: Can someone explain to me how giving Jones substantial playing time would benefit the Cowboys more than having Murray as the primary back? :confused: It's not simply a case of Murray being a slightly better back, it's that Murray is VASTLY better than Jones. Don't take my...

Yes there is:

I appreciate the answer, but I'm not sure I follow. How does the singular gap in team bye weeks fit with the possible loss of weeks 1 & 2?

:confused:

Because it's still too early in the season for teams to know what they have in regards to actual game time talent at the WR position; it's too early for a number of WR injuries to start piling up; and it's way too early to know whether or not a team is on the bubble of making the playoffs. When...

:confused: That's not an argument - or even a point - it's just an appeal to authority. I'm guessing you thought your high school principal was the coolest person ever. ;)

The Chiefs have a considerably tougher schedule this year than they did last season. It will be interesting to see how Haley's philosophy regarding Charles' # of carries holds up if KC struggles early on. I think "saving" Charles will become less of an issue than winning games.

The republican base has been shrinking and will continue to do so unless it begins to make a real attempt to attract traditionally non-republican voters (i.e. the non-christian, the unmarried, and people of color). The tea party isn't helping, as it continues to isolate moderates from the GOP...

Very cool of you to do this, LHUCKS. Don't let the detractors (as you know, there will be many) negate that fact. :thumbup:

As players get older, their bodies become more susceptable to injuries and it takes them longer to recover from those injuries. Last year, Vick played with an attitude that was great for fantasy numbers but hard on his body - probably because he had a lot to prove to everyone (including...

I really think anyone extrapolating Vick's numbers from last year over an entire season are making a mistake. I don't see Vick as just an injury "risk" - I think it's a lock that he misses games due to injuries. He will also likely play injured in a number of games that he does start which will...

Drafts are fluid. I wouldn't commit to any plan that involves drafting certain positions in certain rounds.

Once you start encouraging people to believe in some unsubstantiated omnipotent being that has some sort of cosmic plan, it creates a framework that allows some who claim to know the plan better than others to control the behavior of fellow believers. I think such a framework is inherently...

I just watched Hopscotch, a surprisingly good and clever comedy about a CIA operative forced to resign and his revenge against his boss. It has Walter Matthau, Sam Waterson, and Ned Beatty in it, several exotic locations, and a very 70's-vibe (even though it was technically made in 1980.) :thumbup:

Very cool. :thumbup: Someone on youtube mislabeled that first song, though - it's actually "Do the Rump", a song by the Black Keys off of their The Big Come Up album.

I was a huge fan of the book and have not yet seen the movie. Having said that, the reviews of it have been as bad as I've seen for any movie and I think your idea of a liberal movie-reviewer conspiracy as the sole explanatory mechanism for those poor reviews is :tinfoilhat:

Taking nominations for the guitar greats who are currently out there, but haven't established themselves as household names.....yet. If possible, try to provide a clip of their music so others might start to get a sense of what their playing is like. My nomination is , a cajun-blues master.
