The difference being that Jim Rome has a HUGE fan base from his radio show that probably watch every day (or whenever it's on, I don't watch it).

Why do people care about this again?

Not only that but Brown is a terrible coach for a rebuilding team like the Knicks. He abhors playing young guys and has a win now mentality.

The good news is that it will get a few viewers at first and then drop hard after people see how bad it is and get cancelled with a quickness.

No seriously stop it. You are clueless here man. Do you even realize the toll that playing football takes on a man's body? How old do most football players retire? I'm not talking about the Emmitt Smiths or Jerry Rices either, they are aberrations, exceptions to the rule really. The average NFL career is 3 years long. Yeah, 3 years. So you are goddamn right they should get as much as they can from a business that wrecks their bodies and doesn't care one bit about them throughout the process. When you say things like "make a living playing a game they love" that's all fine and dandy, but don't for one second trivialize the hard work and dedication that it takes to be an NFL player.

Oh christ get off the high horse. Just stop it, really.

By the way. How absurd is comparing an NFL agent to a demon or Hitler or a Nazi stormtrooper or whatever? Seriously that's just stupid. The dude jumped into a pool and saved the LIFE of a 3 year old boy who was DROWNING. Christ you guys are ridiculous.

Before ranting and raving about knowing what the best interests of his clients are maybe you should ask them? Apparently he's doing something right, or else he wouldn't be one of the most successful and often hired agents out there. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He's one of the most hired agents because the potential clients see his guys get signed to silly deals on the threat of holding out, so they think, "WHY NOT ME TOO?" Getting more money may be in the client's best interest but they also should look out for the LEAGUE's interest. Look at NHL for further evidence. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah because the league/teams give a shit about the players. Every single team in the league would take the first chance they could to cut a guy that they felt was not producing anymore, why shouldn't the players get as much money as possible while they are seen as a productive asset?

I suggest:

Cocaine is a hell of a drug.

How can you possibly think that after Saturday night? What did Hopkins show you to make you think he can come back to ko Taylor? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Because Hopkins fought his fight and was robbed?

In the rematch Hopkins by K.O in the 8th.

All Houston needs now is a point guard who has no scoring ability and just sets guys up. I nominate:

The man makes a good point Matt.

If it's today you should be fine really if you do what AoO is saying. You might even be fine anyway: from: http://www.nida.nih.gov/MarijBroch/parentpg11-12N.html Q: How long does marijuana stay in the user's body? A: THC in marijuana is readily absorbed by fatty tissues in various organs. Generally, traces (metabolites) of THC can be detected by standard urine testing methods several days after a smoking session. However, in heavy, chronic users, traces can sometimes be detected for weeks after they have stopped using marijuana.

Yup, start drinking water right now. 20 glasses a day. Get to work.

Same here, as goes for any of the characters on That 70's Show. It was kind of difficult to buy him as doing the role he was doing, mostly because he used the same mannerisms and dictations in both characters, although I still like him as an actor. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree, it wasn't that he was a bad actor, but like you said, he used the exact same mannerisms, dictations and pacing that he does as Forman.

Topher Grace will always be Eric Forman. It totally killed In Good Company for me.

With him being an Arab-American Muslim? What's so hard about the concept that not all Arab Americans or Muslims are terrorists? THAT is what people have been missing about the segment the whole fucking time.

Can't you see that all you are doing is proving the character correct?

So people are not to make the connection of hooded men gathered around UT to choke him (of course they wouldn't behead the bastard, that's murder) to hooded terrorists beheading a captive? I'm sorry, the WWE doesn't have me under it's grip that badly to where I can just say "aw, hell, that doesn't have ANYTHING to do with what's going on in Iraq!" If they have you by the shorthairs that badly to where you'd spin right along with them, then that's all you, ace. Feel free. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> They weren't "hooded" skippy. They had ski-masks on. You know, the kind you can buy at any sporting goods store. Along with the pants they had on. You know exactly who they were right? So then you must know that was why they had that stuff on. I'll spell it out for you, so that Val Venis and company were not recognized as being with Hassan. I'll admit that it would have been more effective if they had paid a bunch of local wrestlers or indy guys (same thing I guess) to do it without masks, but whatever. I'm not under the WWE's grip, as you put it, I just don't jump to racist conclusions easily.

Methinks some people are using their jump to conclusions mat a bit too often.

They choked him. That's it. What's so bad about choking? Oh wait terrorists behead people. Hang on a second... be·head ( P ) Pronunciation Key (b-hd) tr.v. be·head·ed, be·head·ing, be·heads To separate the head from; decapitate. choke ( P ) Pronunciation Key (chk) v. choked, chok·ing, chokes v. tr. To interfere with the respiration of by compression or obstruction of the larynx or trachea. To check or slow down the movement, growth, or action of: a garden that was choked by weeds. To block up or obstruct by filling or clogging: Mud choked the drainpipe. To fill up completely; jam: Major commuter arteries were choked with stalled traffic. To reduce the air intake of (a carburetor), thereby enriching the fuel mixture. Sports. To grip (a bat or racket, for example) at a point nearer the hitting surface. Nope, not the same thing. Not even close. Hell they aren't even synonyms of each other.
