He does kind of look like the Emperor in Star Wars

I think some of them believe that when the National Guard starts closing in, the AR-15 they carry might just give themselves and their families a head start while they flee...and protection while fleeing (assuming a breakdown of social order). But mostly this debate comes down to symbolism. The gun owners believe that any governmental attempt to infringe on their constitutional rights is simply intolerable, and symbolic of government's increasingly hostile approach to civil liberties in general. Of course, many of these people are flaming hypocrites who want laws passed that deny gay marriage, access to abortion, etc. They don't mind if other people's civil rights are infringed upon...

I swear this team is gonna give me a heart attack. Three massive points and hopefully some kind of corner turned.

Barry Bannan is our Lee Bowyer

Ahem... Harry?

Where did I read that Lerner is basically disliked by a majority of Villa staff?

True...his father bought the Browns for about $530m, and Randy sold the club for about $1b....doesn't take much business skill to sell an NFL team, but that's a tidy profit anyway you look at it. What about alternative cost? An investor with any kind of nous would not invest $500M in sports and regard is the best investment available. I doubt his wealth managers at Goldman Sachs or Morgan Stanley states this kind of investment in their top 100 bracket. To say Lerner purchased AVFC to make money in the end (as the only goal) is plain naive and ignorant. He purchased us because he wanted to own a team and make us powerful, thus get more appreciation for his money spent, unlike when you invest in a company and see stock prices deliver capital gains on a computer screen or in the New York Times. Call it his toy or whatever, but he wanted to make us compete but realized he was throwing money at a lost cause when Man City, Liverpool and Tottenham started to do the same and make it impossible for us to compete without spending money few people on this planet could really envisage. That's life, it is not a human right for every team to play in the Champions League, we are not Liverpool or Arsenal, who could beg to differ on that argument. Clubs just don't change owners all the time, just look at Everton. I agree with everything you just said, but have no idea how it relates to my earlier post that you've quoted...

I'm a recovering online poker freak, so I have to pass, sadly...

Rob Stone The new guy on FSC News with the insane half fauxhawk

How does that work, exactly?

I'll pluck out all by ball hairs if we win this

And yet somehow, all those .38 specials failed to prevent it... Mike, scroll up to post #64

Ah, shit, I hadn't heard the news. Pop culture media is too consumed with Rihanna and Beyonce to ever make a moment for Mr. Byrd. Some of you might remember the movie this track was in...

I'm going to guess the top 13 sides in no particular order- Spain Italy Germany England Holland France Russia Denmark Belgium Turkey Greece Portugal Ukraine

Hehe, his accent is strong indeed. Solid player, decent enough guy, I never had a problem with Carragher. I always like to see players who played most of, if not their entire career with their childhood club. Edit* After reading some of those stories^^^, maybe decent isn't quite the best word for him after all...

Congrats!

Usually I enjoy walking outside in a snow storm, but this one is nasty. The wind driven snow hits your face like little ice pellets. Not fun.

**** Hillbillies.

Does FIFA have a doping policy?

Hehe, I know. Not what you'd call a big sports town.

2 feet of heavy snow tomorrow....

They drew 0-0 with Mexico last night to start the last qualifying round, so yeah, great result for them.

Yeah, I don't mind Tommy, but Hudson, my God...might as well jam screwdrivers in my ears
