Dr. Tom

I started a discussing among the staff about a TNA Folder mod, and I made the mistake of doing it without reading the thread in question. Well, I just read the thread in question, and my observation is this: many of you need to dig the sand out of your vaginas. As soon as Nelly's Bandaid said something that dared criticize TNA, he was called a troll and compared to Dave O'Neill. Nice way to greet someone with a different view, guys. People who said they were done with the thread kept piping in to take shots at him, and for all the talk of him "flaming" and "flame-baiting," NB was uniformly more civil than those arguing with him. He also explained his opinions, despite several people claiming he wasn't. I see no problems. If you guys just want a folder mod to filter out unpopular opinions (which is the logical conclusion I draw based on this thread), then you can go directly to hell.

Actually, the George Foreman grill is teh 0wnz0rz. My roommate has one, and I think I use it about 20x more than he does now. As for shitheads like Hatch and Santorum, they're two of the best arguments in favor of Congressional term limits.

Because the President has a sworn duty to the country, its Constitution, and its people. He cannot have even the appearance of divided loyalties. Because the President has access to a wealth of very sensitive information, the barest threat he could somehow use it to benefit his native country is too much of a threat. I imagine they're similar, but I honestly don't care. Sorry, I don't want spineless shitheads like Jacques Chirac and Kofi Annan polluting the White House. The election process would weed such a person out. Too many people would be skeptical, and you know the other party would just HAMMER such a candidate on something like this.

It shouldn't exist at all. Coaches sometimes trot kickers out there at the end of the half to try a field goal there's really no chance of making. Get in there, Matt Stover, and kick that 55-yarder! No fantasy player should be penalized for this. Not everything that generates a positive stat needs a corresponding negative one. It'll be exceedingly stupid if two teams in this league have good weeks, and one wins 38-36 because of absurd points reductions. The only things that should lose you points: Sack (-2) Interception (-1) Fumble (-1) Points allowed (varies as points get higher) We also don't need to gain points for things like completions and attempts. QBs should gain points for rushing and passing yards, and TDs, and lose points for sacks and INTs. RBs should gain for rushing and receiving yards, and TDs, and lose for fumbles. Ditto WR and TE. Defenses should gain points for forced fumbles, sacks, INTs, and few points allowed, and lose points for allowing a lot of points. Kickers should gain points for FGs and PATs. They rarely play a big enough role in the overall fantasy football scheme to dock them points. Maybe -1 for a missed PAT, since those should be automatic, but past that, I think it's getting silly. Basically, any owner should be able to go to NFL.com and get a decent guess of his team's points for the week. No one should need a scientific calculator and slide rule to accomplish this.

Because the team didn't have enough Yankees on it already...

I joined the Yahoo league, with the usual team name. I think 16 teams might be a bit on the heavy side, though. Most leagues run 12 teams, and 14 teams like a good max to me. Since it's a keeper league (not sure how Yahoo handles this), you want depth, and depth suffers as you add more teams. Since I doubt I'll make the live draft, I'll have to work on some pre-rankings.

No, the rule needs to stay, for reasons already cited.

1. The policy is fine with me. 2. Shrug. 3. Shrug. 4. I have to agree wholeheartedly here. In fact, Ashcroft is one of the principal reasons I will not be voting to re-elect President Bush in November.

Ok, if they didn't put themselves there, who did? The Man?

Many Christians -- especially fundies in the public eye and/or in politics -- do a fine job of that all by themselves.

If this were an actual game, the Snubs would win this one going away. I gess we'd have to see the rest of their pitching staff to accurately tell, but there are plenty of pitchers having good years who aren't on the All-Star team, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Two words: roofing shingle.

This man speaks the truth, kids. It might sound harsh, but the truth often hurts. Sure, some people do things that directly lead to cancer, but more often than not, it's something that just happens to them. Nonsmokers get lung cancer. People who don't spend that much time in the sun get skin cancer. Children get lieukemia. Yes, there are some victims of AIDS, but many cases happen because people are ignorant.

Maybe I'm a homer, but I have to give it up for Earl.

Anyone who's not hitting .250 at the time selections would be announced shouldn't be able to make the team. It's absurd that Giambi can hit .239, miss a bunch of games while being hurt, and still make the team because of name recognition. I know he's still getting on base, but there are definitely more deserving candidates in the AL who are hitting above their weight. Snubs: AL - Melvin Mora. NL - Adrian Beltre, Lyle Overbay.

Probably. I wasn't able to make the live draft, so I was at the mercy of the auto-drafting. I remember ranking players, for all the good it did me: I had no quarterbacks coming out of the draft. Thankfully, I was able to pick up a couple, but still, that auto-draft is fux0red if it doesn't even fill your required positions.

We indeed did this last year, and I think Marvin is the one who found it and was the commish. I'd do it again.

It is, to a point. IIRC, about 90% of serial killers and sociopaths abused animals when they were in their teens. It's not accurate to call animal abuse a "gateway" to becoming a serial killer, since I'm sure there are many people out there who get their kicks killing kittens, then never do anything like that to a person. Most people who kill and abuse animals do not become serial killers or sociopaths. However, it's accurate to say that most sociopaths started out by killing and abusing animals. While I can't get behind the "OMG KILL THEM~!" tone of many posts in this thread, I will say that these worthless wastes of sperm and egg should be jailed as long as they law allows, and fined as much as the law allows.

That would be even more profoundly stupid than trading a good prospect for a washed-up never-was middle reliever. What kind of a team would make THAT deal? Oh, right...

It got Clinton elected the first time. That, and Ross Perot being a grandstanding jackass.
