    NFL Thread 12-13

    As a Vikings fan I would settle for a 7-9 season with a couple wins over the the Bears/Packers. Of course if you ask me to my face then we're winning the Superbowl. I'd like to see Rudolph and Barnes from Notre Dame tear it up and Allen (finally) get a defensive player of the year nod. Outside...

    Classic NFL game.

    Yeah he was complaining a couple of months ago. Hopefully he's realized he's going to get more touches with AP coming off injury.

    Classic NFL game.

    Was it 2002 when Holcomb lead the Browns to the playoffs? If I remember correctly didn't they play to a tie in a game with the Steelers in the regular season? As a Vikings fan I'm excited for the upcoming season just to have football back, but we still don't have any deep threats in Minnesota...

    Why guns need to be licensed and owners need training

    I don't think you will find anyone arguing that a responsible gun owner trains with his/her weapon.

    Jesus drank wine, can it really be that bad?

    Though once it gets to the point that one has switched to heroin because it's cheaper then scrips, the job is usually the next thing to go. Heroin has got to be THE most addictive hard narcotic on the planet.

    What's the last/best book you read?

    Was that the one I was hearing Clyde Drexler made some controversial comments about Magic Johnson in? McCallum and King tend to be a little full of themselves at times. Pretty good sports writers, but King put Otto Graham ahead of Joe Montana in his 50 Greatest QB's of All Time book and the...

    The Dark Knight Rises

    Disagree, but to each their own. I didn't notice the time in TDK at all.

    What's the last/best book you read?

    King is always great, but I think he's at his finest with his short stories and novellas. In Full Dark No Stars the first novella is one of the eeriest and best things I've ever read. He even gives a shout out to Ogden UT in it.

    What's the last/best book you read?

    Tolstoy and Hemingway? Check out the big brains on the jazz board. I'm afraid my selections are going to blue collar this thread up a bit. Right now I just finished the Wastelands in Stephen King's excellent Gunslinger series. My all-time favorite read is The Stand, also by King. I enjoy to read...

    The Dark Knight Rises

    IMDB is stating there is a Batman movie Nolan is producing to team with Superman and the Green Lantern to form a Justice League and cash in off of the Avengers. Stupid, stupid idea. To me these movies were as close to making the "perfect" Batman movies as anyone could have ever hoped. I...

    Infidelity

    I didn't read all 13 pages of this prior to posting, so this might have been stated before, but I think a major problem with infidelity is people jumping into relationships too quickly. Many of my friends dated their significant others for a short amount of time and within a period of months...

    The calm before the storm.

    Just my two cents. Violent gun-related crimes are not committed by legally obtained firearms. Banning guns will not take them out of the hands of the criminals. FYI Mexico has some of the most strict gun ownership laws in the world and it's not helping them much. Edit: thriller, you've been Sainted

    Do any red states get the "Current TV" tv station?

    I watched one I had Tivo'd last night where they interviewed a masked sicario from the Juarez Cartel. For such a short conversation it was pretty intense. They interviewed him from a rooftop in Juarez. The reporter's question got mis-translated and the sicario thought he was being threatened and...

    Do any red states get the "Current TV" tv station?

    I enjoy their documentaries on cartels and gangs. Got to hand it to their journalists. They go the extra mile

    Sierra Newbold

    There is no way that enough horrible things could happen to the person who did this. I don't even want to imagine what the family is going through. Heart and prayers go out to them

    The Worst Album Covers of the Century

    10 - for the creepy factor. Jim Post doesn't just have a mustache, he has a manstache. That thing is awesome. Also, I get the impression from the Orleans poster that they aren't just shirtless. Something about that picture tells me that those dudes had no problem going full monty for that shot.

    Bryce Harper

    Wow, I'm kind of surprised to hear that...although I don't know why. The Nationals are certainly becoming an interesting team with Harper, Strasburg, Morse (whose kind of a character) and that other rookie with the long last name. Harper seems to be a smart ball player for his age. Trout...

    Why are so many people capable of believing anything?

    If whatever said person believes makes them a more decent human being to their fellow human beings, and said beliefs don't encourage them to commit harm upon their fellow human beings, then yes. To each their own. I have not yet reached the point where this spiritual outlook on life has...
