1. George Washington 2. Abraham Lincoln 3. Teddy Roosevelt 4. Thomas Jefferson 5. Ronald Reagan 6. Dwight Eisenhower 7. Franklin Roosevelt 8. James Monroe 9. Andrew Jackson 10. James Polk FDR's wartime leadership is not in question. Some of his personnel choices ARE, though, as there were a number of suspected or confirmed Soviet spies in his administration at all levels, including Alger Hiss of the State Department. He also takes a hit for the long-term economic damage done by some of his programs, such as Social Security. George W. is currently ineligible for the list under my personal rules, as I feel a president must be out of office at least 8-10 years to get a proper grasp on their legacy. JFK doesn't make the list because his only big success, the Cuban Missile Crisis, was the result of bungling the Bay Of Pigs invasion. If the invasion was scrubbed or had succeeded, there would have been no immediate crisis. LBJ is near the bottom, IMHO, because he half-assed Vietnam while ramming the Great Society down people's throats. He could have done one or the other well but, in the end, he fucked up the economy and the military for about 15 years. Rutheford B. Hayes doesn't make it because of the bargain made to ensure his election in 1876. By tying the removal of troops from Florida, South Carolina, and Louisiana to his victory, he ended Reconstruction prematurely and left the freedmen to fend for themselves. Truman arguably deserves to be on the list, but his poor handling of the Korean War helps offset the Marshall Plan and the decision to bomb Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Woodrow Wilson was an idealistic fool as well as a poor politician. His insistence on the League Of Nation at the expense of other items on the 12 Points as well as his decision to cut the Republicans in the Senate out of the Versaiies negotiations helped bastardize the finalized Versaiies treaty as well as ensuring that it would not be ratified by the US Senate. Bill Clinton- I'll give him another 6-8 years to rehab his image but it looks right now that he was greatly overrated while in office and there are STILL scandals and failures from that time that surface every so often. Kotz's list is one that appears to be acceptable. The only choices I find arguable are the presence and/or placement of Woodrow Wilson and JFK.

I think that the entire last reel of the film, dealing with Bateman's confessions and people laughing at him and his attempts to deal with evidence are examples of everyone glossing over what happened because he's seen as a huge square by people in his social circle. In addition, I think the scene where he attempts to clean up Paul Allen's apartment is about the ruthlessness of the real estate lady, as she'd cover up the horriffic murders in the apartment in an attempt to rent the high-end property to unsuspecting suckers. If the murders were ever revealed, it would hurt her chances of renting out that apartment as well as ANY apartment in that building. However, the part I *will* concede was in Bateman's head was the entire sequence starting with the "Feed me a stray cat" message from the ATM. Whether that chase / shootout was a total fantasy or was just overblown in his head is a matter of conjecture.

Jay Cutler's good, but I don't see him going THAT early unless he blows the doors off of everyone at the Senior Bowl game.

I want Steelers vs. Seahawks, although Steelers vs. Panthers wouldn't be bad either. I don't want Denver in the Super Bowl just because I want to hate on Jake Plummer.

If the Bears lose tomorrow, I'll be cheering for the Seahawks to win the NFC. One of my old HS teammates plays for the Seahawks as a kick returner / DB. Since he was a late pickup for them, after he got released from New Orleans as part of the last cut there right after Katrina, I'd really like him to get a Super Bowl ring.

Kari has a better face, Jessi has a MUCH better body, as said above. If Kari loses a little of the junk in her trunk, she looks like she'd be pretty hot. Granted, the angle of the picture may make her appear larger than she is. Also, which one of the two is insane and in what way? If you mean clingy, that's annoying but not too bad. If you mean she was completely fucked in the head, then you definitely did the right thing by dropping her.

This got me thinking of a Bill Hicks routine from the early 90s when Basic Instinct was still a hot topic. "If I'd been in that test audience [for Basic Instinct], the only person outside protesting would be Michael Douglas wanting his part put back in the film. 'Hey, I was in that movie!' 'Well, I saw the titles, Sharon Stone eating some woman's cooch for 90 minutes, and then the credits. Never saw you."

When someone gets this, tell me who the "power teams" in the game are. If LSU is considered to be one of the power teams, I might be interested in it. (LSU's baseball program, and the SEC in general, are rather powerful, with the Tigers winning 5 championships over the course of 10 years in the 90s and early 2000s. They've regressed a bit, though, since their coach retired to become the school's athletics director and one of his assistants took over.)

Claude Wroten isn't going in the first round anymore... He got arrested shortly after the Peach Bowl and there are questions about what charges could be filed.

UConn beats LSU by 1 While LSU lost for about the 5th time this season, being in all of these games until late, ESPECIALLY against big teams like #2 UConn and Cincinnati, shows that they've got a lot of potential and that they just need to put it all together. Having a young team like that shows they should be ready for a big year next year IF no one declares for the draft.

Headline: Tigers Smoke Lions In Tar Bowl

The difference is that Tuberville isn't going out of his way to de-legitimize LSU's championship for the 2003 season, which USC *is* doing... All this "three titles in a row" hoopla pissed off a lot of people down LSU way, as we're pretty damn sure we could take down USC if we played them. And, to address Dama, I'm feeling GREAT now that this whole "three titles" shit is done. No one from ESPN would take their mouths off of USC's collective cocks long enough to say "Oh, yeah, USC's first title has an asterisk by it."

Doesn't surprise me much that he's pissing and moaning on TV since he used to do interviews while wearing a "FBCS" shirt... Let's just say that shit like that doesn't get forgotten in Tiger country, which is where he could have ended up playing before this little breakdown. What was that shirt? "FBCS" = "FUCK the BCS", which is USC's way of pitching a hissy fit at being left out of the 2004 Sugar Bowl, which LSU won.

Ha Ha... I'll find the largest one of them and give him your address.

I can't see Miami being in the top 5 after that clunker they put up against LSU. I'd actually put West Virginia up in the 5th spot since they don't lose much and White and Slaton are both back. The only knock I can put on West Virginia would be that their offense seemed somewhat one-dimensional from what I watched. Lots of runs, very few passes. Not sure they should start out as a Top 5 team but, Big East schedules being what they are, they've certainly got what it takes to end the year there.

Depends on the trade situation... I'd sure consider taking Vince at #2 over Leinart if I were the Saints GM. I think it depends on the Saints needs. Aaron Brooks sucks at QB. Then again, the running game isn't great, its not bad with a healthy Deuce McAllister. I would take Young over Bush. I don't think I've seen any one player in football impose his will on a game like Vince Young. You see dominating individual performances in sports like baseball and basketball, but you don't see it in football, which is the ultimate team sport. Young is special, and he looks like the QB that Michael Vick isn't. A guy that can revolutionize and change the game. Brooks is gone... He wore out his welcome BEFORE the season and finally got pulled as starter, which had only happened due to injury before. As for Deuce, the combo of him, Antowan Smith, and Aaron Stecker at RB and Mike Karney at FB can work if there's a passing game to give them cover. Having someone like Young come in and be a threat to run FORWARD on a scramble, instead of losing 30 yards on a sack, would also help.

Bored, I want the blonde Song Girl on the far left as my prize.

~!~!~!~! I win at the Bored Championship Series.

19 seconds left... Put Leinart on his ass and end this.

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/5214670 Haslett has been quietly lobbying to either get a long-term deal or to be fired, as he didn't want to go into 2006 with an expiring contract. Looks like he got his wish.

1. If Farve leaves Green Bay, it'll be retirement and not to play for another team. I don't think his pride will let him be a backup somewhere else and most GMs in their right mind wouldn't sign him as their starter. Farve may have won 3 MVP awards and a Super Bowl, but most people, GMs included, will just remember the hard-headed bastard who kept trying to force the ball to his receivers and ended up throwing 28 INTs in a season as a result. If I had to pick one team he'd go to, I'd say Chicago just because Kyle Orton isn't very good and Rex Grossman is injury-prone. Having an experienced QB like Farve under center could work IF he didn't make stupid passes. 2. Aaron Brooks will be a backup somewhere, not a starter. I could see the Jets picking him up considering that Chad Pennington seems to have permanent reservations for shoulder surgery each season. 3. If Dante Culpepper leaves Minnesota, which I think is likely since he was charged in the "Love Boat" scandal, I'll bet that Denny Green finds a way to bring him to Arizona. Culpepper + Larry Fitzgerald + Anquin Bolden + a decent running back = TDs.

Jared Has Aides *WAS* banned for a long time but has been recently shown on the air. Same deal with Krazy Kripples, which was pulled after Christopher Reeve died but was aired again in the past two months. I didn't realize that either were banned until their most recent web-site contest, in which you could pick the episodes to be shown on Comedy Central. When I went through the list, which was supposed to contain all the show's episodes, Krazy Kripples' absence was immediately noticed, as that was one of the best episodes that season. I had to go searching around to find out that Jared Has Aides was pulled as well. As for the Jared episode, I originally thought the banning had more to do with the main thrust of the episode being thousands of AIDS jokes. I only found out much later that the Butters abuse was the source of the problem. Damn shame, too, since the Butters abuse episodes like Butters' Own Story tend to be some of the funniest in the show's history.

DAAAAAAMN... I thought that FG was too low, but Bama wins it on the last play of the game.
