We just need Chappelle to do an alternate video like he did of R. Kelly.

Just let Johnson bury himself CWM.

I just re-read this thread and....

I just got screwed. My marginal QB just went down for the season on year 3 of my Dynasty in the first game with a ACL tear and my RB is out for 8 weeks with a broken hand in the same game. My backup QB is like a 40 and my backup RB fucking fumbles EVERYTIME he gets the ball.... I had to take him out of the return plays because he would drop the goddamn thing. Guess I'm going to need to convert a FB or a WR to RB. I may just sim this season... don't know yet. Oh and I lost 35-24.

Tiki Barber is a bitch too.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- The speculation is over. NASCAR indeed is changing the way it crowns a champion in the Nextel Cup Series in 2004, switching to a season-long points race to a 10-race "playoff," vice president of corporate communications Jim Hunter confirmed to NASCAR.com Thursday afternoon. While Hunter didn't disclose the exact nature of the playoffs -- because NASCAR hasn't nailed down the details -- a system will be used in the final 10 races to determine the champion. Matt Kenseth led the standings by over 400 points at one point in 2003. "Yes, we are committed to changing the format we use to determine the champion," Hunter said in an exclusive interview with NASCAR.com. "We're looking at 26, 10. We're looking at a number to make sure we don't exclude anybody in the 10 who would have a chance to win the championship." The numbers of drivers eligible for the championship could be more than 10, and any driver in the playoffs will be seeded. NASCAR will not reset the points back to zero, but instead start each driver with a certain number, with the driver leading the standings getting the most points with 10 races to go. "A small lead, but it's a brand-new chase to the championship," Hunter said. "Nobody will go back to zero." Any driver within a certain number of points of the leader will be eligible for the playoffs. Hunter said NASCAR is trying to determine that number based on models from the previous 28 years of using the current system, but that number is between 300 and 600. For example, if a driver is in 14th place but 300 points behind the leader, he would still be eligible for the playoffs -- and the championship. "We'll start them off with x number of points, and the leader will have more than second, third, fourth, fifth, on down the line," Hunter said. "Then we still use our same points system the rest of the year for them." That's to make sure drivers out of the playoffs won't end up with more points with drivers in the playoffs. That starting-point number for playoff drivers has been established, but Hunter wasn't ready to announce them Hunter said NASCAR will award more points to the winner of each race, but it won't be a large number. "Somebody said, '25,' and I said, 'Not that big,'" Hunter said. "We don't know what the number is yet. But the winner will receive more points than second place, no matter what." NASCAR vice president Jim Hunter said sagging interest in late-season races led to the change. Credit: Autostock NASCAR will not alter the points for lower finishers of a race as previously speculated, but the minimum speed at each track will be raised, reducing the number of slower cars allowed on the track (like cars returning from a crash). Qualifying will continue to pay no points. As an added incentive for the drivers not in the playoffs over the final 10 races -- if winning a race weren't enough -- NASCAR will create an award for the highest finishing driver out of the playoffs and will recognize him at the Awards Banquet in New York. "You're racing to win races," Hunter said. "That's what you're supposed to be here for -- not running for points. We're toying with the idea of putting special point fund money to that position." As for why NASCAR has decided to change the points system, Hunter said it was simple: After Labor Day, when college and pro football are beginning and competing for fans and television viewers, things go flat for NASCAR. NASCAR wants to add drama to the fall schedule, for TV and the fans. Some races late in the year are not selling out, Hunter said. "There's just so much more for NASCAR to compete with in that last third of the season that we don't have the rest of the year," Hunter said. "We're doing this to draw additional attention to our sport. That's the bottom line." Hunter also pointed out that the championship should not be based solely on consistency. Matt Kenseth, for example, won only one race in 2003 but ran away with the championship. Meanwhile, Ryan Newman won eight races but finished sixth in the points. "The balance of winning and consistency has sort of gotten out of whack," Hunter said. "It seems that the consistency factor plays more of a role than winning races. We need to change the format. "It's a new day, so we want to try this. We think it'll work. In the end, if it doesn't work, we'll change it back." Drivers have generally reacted negatively to the proposal, and fans have been against it from the start. In a NASCAR.com poll in December, fans were overwhelmingly against the playoff system. But Hunter said it was up to NASCAR to educate the fans as to the positives of the plan. "Fans that I talked to, when I explained to them why we're doing this and what we hope to accomplish, they may not swing all the way over, but they say, 'Oh, OK, I get that,'" Hunter said. One argument against the playoff system was the inability to break into the top 10 for drivers out of the playoffs. Figuring out the cutoff -- x number of points behind the leader -- was the "last piece of the puzzle," Hunter said. "On the average, that happens about one out of three years," Hunter said about drivers moving into the top 10 in the final 10 races.

What? You mean the M's haven't improved? Everyone knows that older is better than younger. ::Shakes fist in.... UNCONTROLLABLE RAGE~!::

I have. It's much nicer not scrolling down 3 pages worth of sigs when the entire thread is maybe half a page of actual... you know.... posting.

Could be either. I would first check the volume controls and maybe set everything at the half way point and see if that helps then if that doesn't, try reinstalling the drivers for the sound card and see if that works.

It could be a virus. Try downloading another one like AVG or something from the thread pinned at the top and see if it completes. If so and no virus then Norton could just need to be reinstalled.

WASHINGTON - President Bush is preparing to unveil a new space initiative with a long-range goal of returning humans to the moon and establishing a permanent presence there, NBC News confirmed Thursday. Government officials said there were still final details that the president had yet to sign off on, but that the announcement was likely to come next week. White House press secretary Scott McClellan told reporters traveling with the president Thursday that Bush would have more to say about the space program next week. Speculation within the U.S. space community about a major White House policy announcement has been swirling for months, with some speculating that Bush would say something when he spoke at the Wright Brothers centennial in Kitty Hawk. But the president stayed mum on the subject, despite prodding from actor John Travolta, who urged him at the event to commit to such an idea and even volunteered to go on the first mission. The U.S. space program is still struggling to recover nearly a year after the shuttle Columbia broke up on re-entry but has been greatly buoyed by Saturday's successful landing of the Spirit rover on Mars and the stunning pictures it has since beamed back. Congressional sources told Reuters that the administration was also considering setting up a more streamlined hierarchy for guiding the government's wide-ranging space programs and coordinating its research and development. Under this scenario, there could be more exchanges of technology between NASA and the Defense Department. Some members of Congress have said they want to ensure that the United States remains the global leader in space exploration. "If we don't do it, somebody else will," said U.S. Rep. Bart Gordon of Tennessee, a ranking Democrat on the House Science Committee. "The Chinese, the Europeans and the Japanese all have the goal of going to the moon. Certainly we don't want to wake up and see that they have a base there before we do." New technologies and energy sources The new space plan was spearheaded in large part by NASA administrator Sean O'Keefe, Reuters reported. O'Keefe was appointed by Bush to restore credibility to an agency plagued by budget troubles, including billions of dollars in cost overruns at the space station. Vice President Dick Cheney also was involved in the policy development, along with other senior Bush advisers. The administration was said to see the initiative as an important national security measure, and experts said it could lead to new technologies and potential new sources of energy. UPI quoted administration sources as saying the current plan called for an $800 million boost in space spending for fiscal year 2005, with most of that money going to develop new robotic space vehicles and new human exploration systems. NASA's current budget is about $15.5 billion. The space budget would be increased in stages for at least the next five years, looking toward the first manned lunar landing of the 21st century in 2013, UPI reported. The lunar effort would set the stage for missions to Mars, White House sources were quoted as saying. Bush's father, former President George H.W. Bush, had proposed a mission to Mars that was scuttled because of concerns over its high cost. The younger Bush likewise faces budgetary constraints, including a budget deficit expected to top $500 billion this year alone. An ambitious space proposal would likely to face challenges from fiscal conservatives and Democrats who want him to focus on domestic issues like education and health care. While some advocates of sending a human mission to Mars have been critical of a new focus on the moon, others see a permanent presence there as a necessary precursor. "We should go to the moon and set up a research base there. That then will provide the opportunities to develop technologies and systems that will allow us to have human space expeditions to the moon or Mars or other places later," Gordon said. Looking ahead to Mars Experts said the goal should be to set up a research base on the moon to test technologies that would be useful on a mission to Mars. "The idea is to go to Mars. And the way you get to Mars is you go to the moon, and you practice three days from home. It's the equivalent of climbing Mount Rainier and preparing for Mount Everest," Howard McCurdy, a space-policy expert at American University in Washington, told Reuters. NASA astronaut Mike Foale, one of the two men now orbiting Earth aboard the international space station, also recently compared space exploration to mountain climbing. "You have to form a base camp, where you have to put all your resources there. Then you work from that base camp further out to get to the peak. ... I think the moon should be a great base camp to go onto Mars," Foale said.
