barely 170 eh?

well we havent seen khali yet

I dont have a problem with these seemingly long term feuds, but it is also the problem with these tri brand PPVs being mere weeks apart. We are going to get the same matchup time after time with not much room to build new opponents.

so judgment day is going to have cena-michaels, undertaker-batista and lashley-vince in some way sign me up

NOW, the initials ECW are at rock bottom

what. the. fuck???

unless calvin can be a star safety and stanton can play corner....the lions had one shitty draft

complete bullshit....another 3 win season here we go!

Whatever we do,I pray that we do not end up with Calvin Johnson...a $27 million dollar signing bonus to a number 2 WR would defy logic in every way. Particularly when we had the 32nd ranked rushing attack.

Buddy Bell seems to be a safe choice

Black people have all kinds of hair textures you bigoted dumbass. Maybe Al Sharpton is racist against white people. If you feel strongly about that, protest his employer about it. Boycott McDonalds and Wal-Mart who sponsors his talk show.

what a great 9th inning...looking like the Tigers carried over some magic

My point is that no one was being censored and if Imus were then it was his white bosses at CBS and MSNBC as I named. From here, I hope that hate comments are no longer tolerated on airwaves from every direction. I sincerely hope that it is the lasting stamp that all of these hub bub leaves.

Let's see: Untalented bimbo that married a 90 year old and died of a drug overdose VERSUS White man being censored by unforgiving black reverends with threats of more censorship to come if its censorship it is white man censoring white man Jeff Tucker of NBC=white Jean-Bernard Lévy of Vivendi Universal=white Jeffrey R. Immelt of General Electric=white Barry Diller=white Bill Gates of Microsoft=white Leslie Moonves of CBS=white Summer Redstone of Viacom=white

Sharpton and Jackson use their mob tactics to get Imus removed from the airwaves but do little to nothing about the blatant sexism and endorsement of the "gangster" lifestyle that has a much larger effect on the children. Instead of fighting the larger, and most would argue more important fight gripping their community, Sharpton and Jackson would rather take the easy fight and go after a 66 year old man who made a poor attempt at humor on his comedy show. Did getting the mean white man removed from the airwaves help anything? Is the black youth safer now than it was before this stupid firestorm? If "yes", how? There was no threat. And saying that the public airwaves needed to be "cleaned up" isn't any of Sharpton and Jackson's business. There was no FCC violation. Imus didn't go o the air and scream "Nigger!" or "Fuck!" or anything to violate the FCC's already strict guideline. As far as the public airwaves, Imus was already clean. People may have disagreed with his joke, people may have been offended by the joke, fine. That all should have been taken care of when Imus apologized. He didn't harm any of those players. This whole thing is a first amendment issue. Imus has the right to say what he wants, yes. Sharpton and Jackson have the right to be offended and protest Imus's comments, yes. They DO NOT have the right to use mob tactics to remove Imus because of something he said, no matter how much they may disagree or not like what he said. That matter should have been left up to MSNBC/CBS. The fact that nothing had been done about it for a few days until Sharpton and Jackson really started raising a stink about it tells me that MSNBC and CBS would have kept Imus and let him run out the rest of his contract. The fact that Sharpton has said that Imus is only the beginning of this fight, that all shows will be monitored and basically insinuating that any show that makes comments that Sharpton and Jackson don't like/agree with/whatever, will be treated in the same way...well, I don't want to say it, but it sounds an awful lot like racial censorship. Threatening a boycott of a radio/tv show does not entail a mob tactic. It is the most effective way to get a program off the air. You say fighting the blantant sexism and endorsement of gangstas are fights Jackson and Sharpton should be fighting and I could agree with that. Then the next paragraph you state that the public airwaves are "none of their business". Is it only their business when it is hip hop involved? When I hear hip hop on public airwaves it is heavily censored. Now, Jackson and Sharpton should go after the music industry starting with the music groups that releases the songs. But that is inequivalent to a racist and sexist remark against a specific group of individuals. It is not a First Amendment issue to you. If it were a First Amendment issue to you then you would also be defending the rights of Jackson and Sharpton to petition and protest as they see fit. That falls under freedom of speech as well correct? General Motors,Sprint,American Express,Staples,etc are all in the customer service field. They have the right not to have their product affiliated with Don Imus. MSNBC/CBS has the rights to protect their ad revenue that keep their stations on the air. Don Imus can definitely say whatever he likes. He is not being prosecuted by the government. When there are many other factors involved as there are,there must be consequences. Everyone involved are well within their rights in this situation. Why doesn't Sharpton/Jackson protest/ start boycotts of Music record labels that have artists with racist/sexist comments (including gangsta rap). They (record labels) are as much of a conglomerate as CBS or MSNBC, no? There is a ton of rap music (by blacks and whites), for example, that is directed at specific individuals/groups. I wish there would be better representatives/leaders, in regards to the "public face", of the black community than Sharpton (and to a lesser degree Jackson). I do find it peculiar how these guys are "reverends", but never express forgiveness, even after their goals (such as getting imus fired) are achieved (of course, reverends shouldn't have to come clean about an affair b/c the tabloids are going to go public either, but i digress). It is interesting how Sharpton has not retracted his comments about the Duke rape case that initially helped fuel the flames without evidence, despite those guys being exonerated. I dont know why they dont protest the music groups honestly. I believe C Dolores Tucker had the right idea in mind a decade ago. You dont know how badly I would want new leaders to emerge and lead our community. Sharpton and Jackson have some skeletons in their past and things they have been dead wrong about. Attacking the messengers, however, is cheap. All of that has very little to do with the matter at hand. Everybody's human and everyone makes mistakes. When Jesse Jackson had fuck ups ,guess what, there were consequences for his actions. Don Imus made a genuine mistake in expressing the beliefs he had on the air. I believe hes sorry but theres consequences for his actions.

As soon as the story started picking up steam, I knew it would be a matter of time before the subject would change and the tables would turn. Now all I hear is "the rappers call black women hoes, why cant Imus?" Theres the obvious reasons that theres a difference (Imus using public airwaves to express his views, worked for 2 major conglomerates that relies on ad space) but what does the two situations have to do with each other? I condemn most rap and yes feel that it needs to be cleaned up. Yes, Imus has the freedom to say whatever he wants. With that there are consequences and the public airwaves needed to be cleaned up of people like Don. So where does the two subjects interject?

really?

I am very glad to hear the news. May he go back to his ranch to never be heard from again

It's just a wild guess, but I'd say getting 22 years older. thats how brown hair went to a black/gray mix?
