    I don't even think that you can even say that Iraq has been more disastrous strategically. The purpose of the Iraq war was to remove the regime that was then in power from power, which was accomplished. The area was then thrown into disarray when several different factions are fighting for power and killing those that oppose theirs. Vietnam didn't even accomplish the initial goal, so how can you say Iraq was worse stratigically. Yes, things could have been done better in Iraq, but once again, there is literally no way the the military casualties and the civilian casualities will come close to that of Vietnam in the same amount of time. What terrorism has been "largely" ignored? Any and everything that is happening in this war happened at a much larger scale in Vietnam. If you want to say this war has been bad the fine, but I repeat, it is absolutely ridiculous to say that the Iraq war is worse than Vietnam.
  3. All I know is that if they only do a fine, expect a whole lot of teams to have a whole lot of cameras pointed at each others sidelines.
  4. Outside of the occasional stunt, everyone knows what the defensive line is going to do. It is pretty much one on one battles in passing situations. The Defensive guy is improving his moves to try and get around the lineman, and the lineman trying to stop him. KNowing the play wouldn't help there. It would help to know if a extra guy or two were coming though.
  5. It definately was a bugs bunny cartoon with guns. ANd it was awsome.
  6. No, that isn't why. The Pats have a awesome line. That is why he had 20 minutes to throw. But everyone has to admit, the Pats seem to be very good at picking up blitzs and checking down in late games even when blitzs are completely hidden. And the thing is, this could be totally due to Brady's vision or Bills vision or the offensive coordinators vision, but because of the cheating, they have tainted it and put question marks on it.
  7. No you couldn't. But by the late third or fourth quarter you could figure out when they are blitzing, or when they are playing man or when they are playing zone before the play. No way you could pull it off in the early game, but this is the Pats and they change the play at the line. ALOT.
  8. I watched plenty of stuff after the murders and felt nothing. Hell, I still got hyped when I watched him win the title despite the fact his murder victims were jumping around the ring with him. But then the extent of his brain damage was reveled and then it caused me to look at it and go "Jesus dude...why didn't you listen to anyone...dumbass." Its like watching a post goldberg kick bret matches. You just wish he would have sat the fuck down and you could have gotten some more good matches out of him.
  9. I am sorry but any kind of "its not that bad" type of argument here is ridiculous. They are cheating the game in a blatant way that they have been warned about before. Comparisons of signing a player that was released is not even close to the same as recording the signaling of the opposing team studying it and sending the info to your QB. And once again, this is not Baseball. Changing signals means that ONE person needs to be notified. The catcher and the pitcher can change signals easily. Base coaches can change theirs easily because they aren't dealing with over 15-20 guys, all with different coaches all focused on said coaches at the end of the play. They are constantly changing in and out players at different levels. They are not going to be able to change signaling on the fly. They can use fake outs, which they do, which is very effective when the other team isn't recording your play calling and plucking out the repeated signals out of a bunch of bullshit flailing. It is illegal to use binoculoars to see their play also. So basically, everyother team, if they want to try and decipher signals would have to hire a guy to just stare at the defensive coaches from across the field or from the booth and using their memory, edit out all of the bullshit fake outs used in signaling, to figure out the teams blitz pattern or coverage. The patriots, if this story is true, have to rewind. Its an obsense classless move, and the coaches involved should be suspended for cheating the game just as much as a guy taking banned substances is cheating the game to get an unfair advantage. Thats why I say 4 games for the coaches and the draft picks.

    So its okay to say a war with less than 4,000 casualties and 28k wounded is worse than the ten year war with the 89,000+ casualties, and 153k wounded? Really? In what way? At this pace the war in Iraq would have to go on another 20 years to get close to the numbers of Vietnam

    Only people that weren't around for Vietnam would even try to compare this. I wasn't around either, but goddamn, that is just some bullshit right there.
  12. Lets face it though, if they have been caught 5 times, what is the chance they haven't been doing it in every game? Yeah, they could have beaten the Jets without doing it. They could beat all those teams they got caught cheating against without doing it, but they still did it. And calling the Jets "the biggest jobbers" is laughable.
  13. Well, more quasi 2nd string as the Seahawks have been wanting to use Seneca for punt returns and at WR to use his athleticism for awhile now. Thats a total waste of Seneca. He isn't a bad QB. He made mistakes that you would expect out of a guy under center in a real NFL for the first time. Although he did show bad reads in college too, there was nothing to believe that he couldn't become better with a good QB coach and playing time. Not in Seattle of course, but use him for trade bait somewhere. I would certainly bet on him as a backup QB over fucking Charlie Frye.
  14. I personally think a 4 game suspension for everyone involved on the coaching staff is in order. When I said Draft picks, I forgot this was the patriots. losing the 30th pick in the draft isn't exactly that much of a punishment. It just saves cap space.
  15. I guess he is the worst contract left in the league.
  16. Goddamn, they have been caught that many times? One draft pick isn't enough then. They need to lose 3-4 picks for this.
  17. The Arizona Republic is reporting that the Suns and Jazz discussed trading Marion and AK-47 but the talks have been shelved for now and never got past the initial talks. If you are indeed reading my suggestions on this site Steve Kerr, I would ask you to fine Mike D'Antoni everytime he doesn't use that deep ass bench and please stop giving Portland stuff for free.
  18. Well, to me, when I watch his matches I will just cringe at ever chair shot and every headbutt because I know that is what most likely lead to his insanity. He will be remembered as the killer to most because, well that is the most imfamous thing he did in his life.
  19. Not everyone uses a camera man to record opposing coaches during a game and get the signal up to the offensive coordinator. That is not the same thing as paying attention and trying to decipher signals. It is a pretty big deal. Don't act like this is common. Its classless honestly. There is no real competitve advantage? Are you kidding? This isn't baseball. Football doesn't go switching up signals every couple of minutes. you would have to manage to convey this signal change to roughly 22 different players (not all teams just get them in to one player and call the play. If you look at some defensive huddles, DB's will get their signals one place and in some cases all three levels will get their own signals. If you don't think there is a competitive advantage, then why do you think they would do it? it wouldn't take long to start deciphering the blitz signals through those long complicated calls to the field. That is all you really need. And thats what teams cover up when they add bullshit at the start and the finish of those signals, because the likelihood that a person, across the field would be able to figure that out, ingame is slim. A person with a camera recording all of their signals could figure it out pretty easily.
  20. And the only reason he is still in the league is because of ONE layup against the Utah Jazz when he was in Dallas. He got that huge contract for two points.

    Go ahead and call it in and just give the date when you bought it so you can get the service order in before the warrenty is over now. I doubt they will ask for a reciept over the phone, although I am not 100% sure because I have always ordered my electronics so I have a online reciept. Did you register it after you got it?
  22. Well, i guess that the trade isn't that horrible now, although I don't know why the Nuggets are waving Jones. I like him. The Sixers actually had an idea of what they wanted to do when they made the trade. Imagine that.
  23. They got Jacksons permission to model it after him. Ultimate Fury was DEFINATELY modeled after Jackson.
  24. My thing is why would you care at all? I could understand if they got 50 Cent to play the part of Fury. I would be pissed too. I don't understand bitching when a GOOD actor gets a part because of his race. I even understand if you are complaining because the race of the character has something to do with the character, say if you were to do Cloak and Dagger and wanted a black actress to play Dagger or a black Captain America, or a white storm or black panther. But geez, they bitch about everything.
  25. I haven't been to the dentist since I was 5. My teeth look great though, white and straight, but they are probably pure crap if I went to the dentist . But I will be damned if I am going to take out a mortgage on my teeth. they don't hurt, and they are clean looking. that is all I need for now. they are pretty well eroded down in the back though, but so the fuck what. Its not effecting how my mouth looks. I am mostly happy. Although I don't want to have to have partials and dentures when i am older, if I do, I do.
