Original article: And baby makes two

I hear ya, Brightstar

But, these poles you discuss are mostly in our minds.

It's easy to imagine these poles when we are repeatedly kicked around, and we are jealous of others. It's a powderkeg for posts like your last thousand.

But, really, America isn't like that. Sure there are feminists who want to castrate all men, and there are guys who want to walk all over women. But that's not really how it is for most. We're actually at a cultural and sexual highwater mark.

Get laid this weekend. Respect her, be respected. Start a relationship. It really chills people out. Smile at strangers on the street, they'll smile back.

You will regret banging away at your keyboard on broadsheet. I really believe that.

simple

not enough roster spots on the big-name teams to gobble up all the great players in the country. And, recruits don't want to sit, they want to start from the start, and get on TV. Case and point: Ben Rothlesburger. Recruited by Ohio State, he wanted to be gauranteed to start, Tressel said he would have to compete for the job. Miami of Ohio had no problem promising him the job. History.

Back in the day Woody Hayes would recruit mediocre kids - just so Michigan wouldn't get them. That's not so anymore.

Luckily, in the topsy turvey college football world, we know there is one constant: Ohio State will have an NFL caliber defense and the best coach in the nation.

Flukey year? I'm blind to #2-150. Things look pretty normal to me.

well done famous1

So true. I guess what King is getting at is that most of the top dawgs pissed down their leg at some point this year. They should be expected to not piss down their leg. But, they did. Piss down their leg, that is.

2007 = the year of Buckeye continence.

Face it people. The next decade will be OSU v. _____ in both football and basketball national title games. We are gracious losers and gracious winners. We're that huge kid on the playground. Best to just make friends with us.

to anonymous

I was at the buckeye's title against miami. We forced 5 turnovers, went hiroshima on their tailback's knee, knocked out their quarterback, and it we didn't deserve it? HA

no NBA ready center? do some research, maybe not a center, but we have a 7' Dirk Nowitski clone.

baseball

appogiatura - 'self-righteous prigs'. You mistakenly called the Rockies that, and not Red Sox Nation. Maybe you should issue a correction.

judyinnm - if you don't want to see spitting, don't watch baseball. It's like going to the track and getting worked up because you saw a horse take a piss.

King - perfect analysis. I tend to not raise a stink about the time between games, but this one is ridiculous. But they were going to have a long layover anyway. The RedSox/Indians went 7. I think it's going to be nearly identical to the Indians series. It's going to look like the Rockies have it, and then the big bad Red Sox are going to turn it on. The Rocks will crumble under the pressure. I guess that would turn them into gravel. Or at least smaller rocks.

If the Rockies throw a lefty at home, I might start Youk at first. And I CANNOT wait to see Manny being unanageable in left at Coors.

Original article: Happy birthday, Broadsheet!

my biggest problem with broadsheet

is highlighted in the last couple letters.

"this is sexist" "ptuey, no it's not sexist" "well, we can all agree that this is sexist." "no, stupid head" "well, guys do this and we certainly dont." "that's sexist" "no it isn't" "women do this." "yeah, but not all of us" "sexist"

or...

"A guy I dated was a loser, so all guys are losers" "well, I dated a girl who sucked, so all girls sucks." "whaaa, I'm lonely" "it's your fault you're lonely." "no it's not, I'm lonely because I hold myself to a higher standard" "well, maybe you're a bad guy." "that's sexist"

oh yeah,

and the NONSTOP christian bashing. That's not that cool.

and each day, we plunk in another quarter, and we ride the unmerry-go-round yet again.

Happy birthday broadsheet! Older, more wrinkled, and less attractive with each passing hour.

Homegrown????!?!?!?

Only one Red Sox player is from Massachusetts. California has produced more for Red Sox Nation than all of New England. (insert 6 page essay on why northeastern baseball and baseball players are far inferior to the rest of the country - but oddly, they have the most ignorantly self-assured fans on the planet)

I would say the real Red Sox home is the DR.

Please say: drafted by, or traded for.
