    Whose jersey is consistently the best selling? AI <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, it's Shaq. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My bad, I thought AI was tops for some reason. Maybe he was at one point. I know Kobe was #1 for a while. But Shaq is also a flamboyant dresser, if not gangsta.

    I got called unAmerican by my Dean,

    I was really just arguing a hypothetical. I never criticized Christians, I don't know what made you think that. I never said that Christians were stuck up or easily offended. I didn't even say that they "should" be offended by the pledge. I just suggested that, technically, given your take on the meaning of "Under God" in the pledge, that it amounted to taking the name of God in vain. I guess this bothers you. You're confusing an attack on the entanglement of government and religion with an attack on Christianity. I disagree with your whole premise, anyway--that the phrase "Under God" is not an endorsement of religion.

    Why are you being such a prick? I never claimed to be an expert in theology. But I was raised in a Southern Baptist church and was a devout Christian for about 10 years. And I know that the word "God" is meaningful to a lot of American Christians.

    Actually, that's not true, but anyone legalistic enough to apply that to the pledge should know that it refers to God's Hebrew name. "God" isn't really God's name. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> But to American Christians, "God" is God's name. It would obviously be more offensive to Joe Protestant to use the word "God" flippantly (as is done in Tyler's version of the pledge) than to use the word "Yahweh" or whatever the Hebrew word is flippantly.

    Whose jersey is consistently the best selling? AI <{POST_SNAPBACK}> And their ratings are...what? What, not great? Stunning. Considering that TV revenue is a massive part of their revenue stream, might be important. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think dress code=ratings.

    I was watching some special on the Mavs one time and Dirk had on these awesome red velvet pants.

    Peyton Manning, Marvin Harrison, Brandon Stokley, Dallas Clark, & Edgerrin James beg to differ. Fitz & Burress have both outperformed Wayne thus far. Also, I think Thomas Jones has outperformed Tiki Barber statistically.

    This also wouldn't fly with the new dress code.

    This wouldn't pass the dress code. Plus, I think TD would look dumb in a suit.

    Oh snap! I just noticed on that first letter to Meirs (p 2 at the smoking gun link), at the bottom, it says, and I quote:

    Not really offensive, just very stupid...somehow equating Native American "Indians" with South Asian Indians. Chinese intellectual property theft is a major problem...

    I'm just afraid Barber is gonna get shut down like last week, especially since they are playing Denver. I benched Jones last week & he had 2 TDs.
