If you by "slightly" you mean "whacky" then you are correct because everything about Canada is whacky in one form or another.

I hate Rock's sharpshooter.

I'm just happy the Sonics are 3-0. Ronald Murray has been a nice suprise filling in for Ray Allen. Hope he can keep it up when Allen comes back so we can have 3 almost guaranteed 20pt a night guys with Lewis, Allen and him with a random good night from Barry, Radmonovik and other role players then the Sonics should at least be decent this season and compete for the 6-8 playoff spots.

Damn Dutch.

NOW is the time for That 80's Show. They were a year or two too early because just is it all coming back.

Off topic but a good article on feelings in the country about Roe vs. Wade done in January of this year. And OMG ITZ NOT FAUX NEWS~! And for the record I'd like to find the 11% who said it would be okay to terminate a 6+ month pregnacy and abort them with a glock.

There is an option to add music to the video. Check the help file.

And if you checked out Scorror.com everyday like you should... you would have seen this already posted yesterday. Stop being behind the times and go there now.

SEATTLE -- Bill Bavasi was hired Friday to replace Pat Gillick as general manager the Seattle Mariners. Bavasi, 45, is the former general manager of the California and Anaheim Angels. "This is a tremendous opportunity for me," he said. "The Mariners' franchise is one of the elite franchises in all of baseball. I am looking forward to getting to work immediately." During Bavasi's 16-year tenure with the Angels as farm director, assistant general manager and general manager, the team acquired and developed many of the players that helped it win the 2002 World Series, including Troy Percival, Troy Glaus, Darin Erstad, Tim Salmon, Garret Anderson and Francisco Rodriguez. Buzzie Bavasi, the father of the new Seattle GM, was the longtime general manager of the Brooklyn and Los Angeles Dodgers, and later became GM of the Angels and president of the San Diego Padres. Bill Bavasi worked for the Padres' operations department and grounds crew from 1974-78, and was with the Angels from 1980-99, serving as GM during his final six seasons. He spent the past two years as the Dodgers' director of player development. Seattle has won 93 games in each of the past two seasons but missed the playoffs both times, and Gillick, 66, quit Sept. 30, but emphasized he wasn't retiring. The Mariners made it to the AL championship series in 2000 and 2001, twice losing to the New York Yankees. "While we considered many very qualified individuals, Bill was our top pick and we believe he is the best person to lead the club," Mariners chairman Howard Lincoln said. Mariners vice president Benny Looper was considered strongly by Lincoln as Gillick's successor. Although the Mariners re-signed designated hitter Edgar Martinez this week, eight Seattle players became free agents, including center fielder Mike Cameron and reliever Shigetoshi Hasegawa Cameron won his second Gold Glove this season and Hasegawa, an All-Star for the first time, finished the year as the Mariners' closer. After the 2002 season, the Mariners let manager Lou Piniella go to Tampa Bay and Lincoln hired Bob Melvin to replace him. In addition to Bavasi's father, two Bavasi brothers have made their mark in baseball. Brother Peter was president of the Toronto Blue Jays and Cleveland Indians, and brother Bob was the longtime owner of the Class A Everett franchise of the Northwest League. Everett is 30 miles north of Seattle and is a Mariners franchise. Gillick, general manager for the past four seasons, quit Sept. 30.

Guys raping other guys in high school... girls going lez or bi at the drop of a tampon. It really is the new fad to be gay or engage in gay-like activities I guess. And by gay-like activities I mean sex acts involving a member of the same sex for all you PC motherfuckers out there.

I hope these used quality golf balls like Titleist.

White Whole Milk. Guess that makes me a racist.

I predict most of the teams will probably move due to the money factor (player-wise). I as an American and a casual fan wouldn't want to see that happen because I've watched Hockey Night In Canada on CBUT since I was 5.

Moron. That is a e-mail address that you can use for e-mail to be sent to that you can then forward if you choose to your REAL e-mail address. READ NEXT TIME.

I mark for Red Dawn and other movies like it. I await the Toy Soldiers parody.

I believe you're a fuckhead of the first division. There's more than one division?

You rioting combined with your "Hippie Chick" would firmly plant you on the Peace, Love and Happiness side of the Hippie line my friend. And then I'd have to beat you on sheer principal.

Sting has always been decent since 97. He hasn't exactly always had great workers to work against either.

I commend him for doing so. You shouldn't have to apologize to morons who can't get what he is saying which is he wants to appeal to rednecks and freak out when they hear the word "Confederate" and automatically think "OMG RACIST~!".

OJ was entertaining. I remember my middle school teacher had the radio on in my class for the verdict.

You self-centered bitch.

WASHINGTON - Democrat Al Sharpton, whose one-liners and pointed rhetoric have added laughs to the presidential campaign, will host "Saturday Night Live" next month. Sharpton will host the Dec. 6 show, which also will feature Pink as the musical guest. It could be a natural fit for the preacher, who often uses humor to promote his long-shot candidacy and is known to crack up his rivals during debates. "He said he was actually _ for the first time _ nervous," said Sharpton spokeswoman Rachel Noerdlinger. Other political figures who have appeared on the show include Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, Jesse Jackson and former Vice President Al Gore. Although none of Sharpton's rivals for the Democratic nomination have been on, at least three have been depicted. Actors playing John Kerry, John Edwards and Joe Lieberman courted a real Gore for the vice presidency during Gore's appearance on the show last year

OMG FAUX NEWS OPERATION MEMO PLANT 2003 LOL~!

SEATTLE - This week, a slight man with thick glasses, a man who has been married three times and is the father of one child, is expected to plead guilty to at least 48 separate charges of murder, sources involved with the case have told The Associated Press. When it's over Wednesday, Gary Leon Ridgway will have more murders on his record than any other serial killer in the nation's history. And a mystery that confounded detectives for two decades will come to a close. Ridgway, 54, a longtime painter at Kenworth Truck Co., is expected to admit being the Green River Killer, named for the river south of Seattle where the first victims were found. The plea would spare him the death penalty in King County, instead assuring him life in prison without parole, the sources said. However, two of the bodies on the official list of Green River victims were found in Oregon, which has capital punishment, and it is still unclear whether Ridgway will plead to those. The remains of scores of women, mainly runaways and prostitutes, turned up near ravines, rivers, airports and freeways in the 1980s. Of them, investigators officially listed 49 women as probable victims of the Green River Killer. Ridgway had been a suspect ever since 1984, when Marie Malvar's boyfriend reported that he last saw her getting into a pickup truck identified as Ridgway's. But Ridgway told police he didn't know Malvar, and a police investigator in Des Moines, midway between Seattle and Tacoma, who knew him cleared him as a suspect. Later that year, Ridgway contacted the King County Sheriff's Green River task force — ostensibly to offer information about the case — and passed a polygraph test. Detectives continued to suspect him, however, and in 1987 they searched his house and took a saliva sample. It was 13 years before DNA technology caught up to their suspicions and they could link that sample to DNA taken from the bodies of three of the earliest victims. Ridgway was arrested as he left work Nov. 30, 2001, and later pleaded innocent to seven killings. But facing DNA evidence and the prospect of the death penalty, he began cooperating and trading information for his life. He confessed to 42 of the 49 listed killings, as well as six not on the list, the sources have said. He directed authorities to four sets of previously undiscovered remains. It turned out that the killings continued long after detectives thought the Green River Killer had stopped, the sources said. The last victim on the official list disappeared in 1984, but one of the cases Ridgway is expected to plead to involves a woman killed in 1990, and another involves a woman killed in 1998. That has stunned some criminologists. "Once they're identified as a suspect, they usually stop," said Jack Levin, director of the Brudnick Center on Violence at Northeastern University in Boston. "Ridgway is really a rare specimen, even among his peers, in being able to avoid apprehension for such a long time." Ridgway's pleas to 48 counts would give him more convictions — though not necessarily more slayings — than any other serial killer in the nation's history, Levin said. It's difficult to know who the most prolific serial killers are because many don't confess. Prosecutors often charge suspects only with the cases they're certain they can prove. And some of those who do confess may take credit for crimes they didn't commit, in hopes of appearing more deadly than they actually were. John Wayne Gacy, who preyed on men and boys in Chicago in the 1970s, was convicted of killing 33. Ted Bundy, whose killing started in Washington state, confessed to killing more than 30 women and girls, but was convicted only of killing three before he was executed. Relatives of the Green River Killer's victims have had mixed responses to the idea of a plea deal. Some accused King County Prosecutor Norm Maleng of reneging on a promise he made when Ridgway was first charged that he would not bargain with the death penalty. Maleng and other King County officials have declined to comment on the plea deal. Maria Marrero, whose sister Becky disappeared in 1982, told KOMO-TV no plea deal would please her. She wants Ridgway put to death. "That's the most devastating thing — that I will probably never have that privilege, to bury my sister," she said. But other victims' relatives have said that learning what happened to their loved ones is worth giving up the death penalty. "Life as he knows it is pretty much done and over with," said Tim Meehan, whose pregnant, 18-year-old sister was found dead in 1983. "The other families at least now have the opportunity to have answers. If you can exchange that information for life in prison, well, to me it's well worth the information." --------------------------------------------------------------------- I remember this going on while I was 5-6. Can't believe 20 years later and 49 people dead and they finally have the guy. And the guy should get death.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- The San Francisco 49ers have no quarterback controversy. So says coach Dennis Erickson. Try telling that to the fans and teammates who have two weeks to ponder what Tim Rattay might do for an encore to his impressive debut as an NFL starter. Filling in for injured Jeff Garcia, Rattay went 19-of-29 for 236 yards and three touchdowns in San Francisco's revitalizing 30-10 win over the St. Louis Rams on Sunday. Garcia, the 49ers' starter since 1999, has been erratic and ineffective this season -- and he isn't sure his severely sprained ankle will be back to full strength when the 49ers (4-5) return from their bye week to face the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 17. "If Jeff is healthy and he can move around like he can move around, he'll be the starting quarterback," said Erickson, who gave his team a full week off Monday. "It's as simple as that." That's a big if, however: Garcia has been limited by injuries since hurting his back during an offseason workout, and his longtime backup stepped in without a hitch. The 49ers' definition of full health could differ from Garcia's ideas, because the undersized quarterback has played with injuries throughout his career. But among the people whose opinions really count, there's no animosity or uncertainty. Garcia and Rattay are close friends, and both believe Garcia is the unquestioned starter. "When I'm healthy, I'm going to be the guy. I think I've earned that right," Garcia said. "By the same token, I'm not going to be the person that's going to put this team in a difficult position by being selfish. ... (A controversy) is something that's going to be a natural conversation piece. It's pretty much unavoidable." Few teams can match the 49ers' quarterback lineage -- and few towns enjoy a quarterback controversy more than San Francisco. Rattay became the seventh straight backup quarterback to win his first start for the 49ers in a streak dating back to Steve Young's first start in place of Joe Montana in 1990. Garcia started 61 straight games for the 49ers before Sunday, making the last three Pro Bowls while passing for 15,227 yards since 1999. The Bay Area native's reckless but intelligent playing style has propelled him to NFL stardom despite his average size and arm strength. Rattay is even an inch shorter than the 6-foot-1 Garcia, but the former seventh-round draft pick has a stronger arm and more traditional skills. He has excelled as a pocket passer in the West Coast offense after learning the game at Louisiana Tech, where he finished his career second in NCAA history with 12,746 yards passing. "Not having started in so long, I was kind of trying to remember how it felt to do that," Rattay said. "I was really excited and really looking forward to it. There was a little nervousness, but after that first snap, you're just playing football like you're done since you were little." After beating the Rams, Rattay's coaches praised his decision-making and aggressiveness -- typically two areas in which inexperienced quarterbacks struggle. He also was confident making audibles at the line. Two of his touchdown passes involved improvisation: rookie Brandon Lloyd's diving 27-yard TD catch shortly before halftime, and Tai Streets' exceptional leaping 5-yard grab in the third quarter. After watching film Monday morning, even Rattay didn't have many complaints about his work. Neither did his coaches. "He didn't make any mistakes," Erickson said of Rattay. "You always worry about somebody in his first start, and he didn't do it. You practice to be the guy, and when your time comes you're ready to go, and he was." The 49ers must make a second-half surge to remain in contention for their third straight trip to the playoffs, Garcia and Rattay agree the quarterback must lead it -- whoever that may be. "It's one game, and you can't get overly excited," Rattay said. "Just like one bad game doesn't make a career."
