Is currently seeking the highest season QB rating of all time. All of Favre's years and everybody else's.
I kinda like you. Let's co-author a cookbook for the nerds.
Has the tax deduction component to it. It's worth a mention.
So I gracefully depart for the day (though I reserve the right, as always, to P.S. if some nerd gets out of hand).
By the way I've never denied being a nerd myself, but I'd rather not field that question directly. You think Clinton's grand jury testimony was nuanced and hair-splitting, I'd blow him out of the water.
That's a warning to the phony brave.
I found the Sportsperson of the Year during lunch. She's in the swimsuit issue.
I'm so sick of exploitation of the gender issue.
Iran has more allies than we do, don't they?
Crawling along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare.....Crawling, slithering. Surviving.
I hate them. I do hate them so.
And play the board game RISK or that one where you try to sink the other guy's battleship. Whoever wins is considered the most knowledgeable, experienced, and impressive speaker about war the following day.
Bleacher after bleacher. Sportsbar after sportsbar. Fantasy league after fantasy league. Nerd after nerd....... We have to have men who are moral and at the same time are able to utilize their primordial instincts to kill without feeling. Without passion, without judgement.........without judgement. Because it's judgement that defeats us.
And I ain't got nothing to say,
I come home in the morning,
I go to bed feelin' the same way,
I ain't nothing but tired,
Man I'm just tired and bored with myself.
Hey there Hillary,
I could use just a little help.
You can't start a fire,
You can't start a fire without a spark,
This gun's for hire,
Even if we're just dancing in the dark.
Are you a soldier or an assassin?.......You're neither. You're an errand boy sent by grocery clerks to collect the bill.
I just know there is.
The horror......The horror.
I'm gonna kick God's ass, for letting these twits run wild.
Don't tell me
Heaven is under the earth
I know you don't know
What life is really worth.
When it comes to rockin' she's the Queen
I go to dance on Saturday night
We're all alone and I hold Hillary tight
But she lives on the twentieth floor up town
The elevator's broken down
So I walk one two flight three flight four
Five six seven flight eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
Well she called me up on the telephone
Said "come on over baby I'm all alone"
I said "baby you're mighty sweet
But I'm in bed with the achin' feet"
This went on for a couple of days
But I could not stay away
So I walk one two flight three flight four
Five six seven flight eight flight more
Up on the twelfth I'm startin' to sag
Fifteenth floor I'm ready to drag
Get to the top, I'm too tired to rock
And if Hillary wants to,
Well she can rest her weary head right on me.
We all need someone we can cream on,
And if she wants to,
Well she can cream on me.
Is the way it should be.
Should run for prime minister of Israel, unless they have a stipulation about being native born.
Is going to be the next President. Let's move on.
Maybe, possibly, if that politician clearly and repeatedly states a moral opposition to abortion, and a desire to find non-legislative means to reduce abortion. Clearly and repeatedly staing that it should remain legal.
However, if that politician wants to stick their snout into that personal of an issue and criminalize it, thus leading us backward in time, then they can't be trusted--ckeck that--they CAN be trusted to attempt to lead us backward in time on other personal and privacy issues.
Opposing abortion on moral grounds is well within bounds. Making it illegal--state or federal--or wanting to make it illegal, is an extreme nutcase position.
Bonds was the best overall player in baseball history--power, speed, defense combo--before steroids.
He was a devestating lead off hitter, a more devestating middle of the line-up hitter, and a gold glover on defense. Before steroids.
Should find a spot for him until his on base percentage falls below .400, which from the looks of things would probably keep him playing until he's past 50.
These clowns cry out their moral outrage at the steroid era, yet they have twinkling eyes and intense nostalgia as they recite and recall the stats, the heroes, the legends, and the stories of the glory days of Ruth, Gehrig and the all white league era.
Never saw anything remotely approaching the relief pitching Bonds dealt with............Also Aaron played in much more friendly home run ballparks.....And of course we have the situation of Bonds having more than a thousand more walks than Aaron.
Long before he used steroids, Bonds had 46 homers, 123 RBIs, 129 runs scored, 126 walks, 29 stolen bases, a .336 batting average, a .458 on base percentage, and a .677 slugging average.
Overall that is superior, clearly superior to any of Aaron's individual seasons.
This is a VERY recent developement employed towards the hate of Bonds. It's largely bogus.
It's very difficult to swallow any preaching from any 21st century white American, about cheating or anything else, considering the tactics and techniques whites have used in this country to come to a position of dominance in almost everything.
The condemnation of cheating is a bit tardy. This country was built on cheating and brute force. In a figurative sense, America IS steroids. Always has been.
Well, a Supreme Court made up mostly of republican appointees (some by his daddy) said he did.
I don't think Bonds could go running to Scalia and the boys.
