The Dude

I think we're basing this idea that Choi is the better player on one really good block he had.

I blame Lil' Red.

I thought the fact that he was more worried about the image of his program than protecting innocent children from a monster very clearly showed where his priorities are.

Yikes.

Who is Jason Peter to judge if a unit is playing with pride or passion? I know his credentials, so spare me the lecture on that. Doesn't change the fact that he has no right to judge if a unit plays with pride or passion. He can talk all he wants about the scheme and I'll probably agree with him, after all he has probably forgotten more about schemes than I'll ever know. Was Peter vocal during 2009 when the 2-gap worked? Or has he just recently been vocal just this year about our D-Line running the wrong scheme? He's been vocal the whole time - even with Suh there. He was vocal about the passion and what not early in the season, but I don't remember him one time whining about the 2-gap that year. As for as coaching defense goes, Pelini's credentials vastly outshadow Peter's. There's a reason he's behind a mic and not on the sidelines.

I can't imagine why you arrived here with such a horrible reputation.

He's getting flack (and rightfully so) because he did the absolute minimum.

Such as? Natural * The creation of the universe (Including the Big Bang, the 1st law of thermodynamics, etc.) * Complexity and intricacy of life, specifically amino acids/proteins and humans (I'm no creationist, but via evolution as a mechanism, I guess this could be a sub-point of the first one) * Moral code * Messianic prophecy * The fact that the 3-year ministry and teachings of a 30-something year old nobody carpenter from a hick town who claimed He was God incarnate and went toe-to-toe with the religious leaders of the day and who was shamefully murdered, scorned and rejected, have become the predominant faith-based teaching in the entire world and have had immeasurable impact on the 2000+ years since His life. Supernatural * Stirring of the Holy Spirit, a sort of "supernatural guiding" * Consistent prayer (when done with God's will in mind and not selfish desires) yielding results, consistent with God's supposed nature in the Bible * Believers speaking in tongues * Visible physical healing (one example would be a woman at camp had her foot smashed, swollen like crazy, black and blue and purple, people started praying and laying hands on her and I saw her foot become healthy) * Claims of thousands of people throughout time to have glimpsed heaven, audibly heard the Lord, had after-death experiences subsequent to having been resuscitated, etc. * The general quality, freedom and joy found in my life and the lives of so many people I know personally the closer we supposedly feel to our Lord. Just a few examples. I see these things and I see God, you see these things and you see whatever your bias leads you to see. If you live in the desert all your life, and I come to you and tell you of this magical place far away where there is no sand but white snow, freezing temperatures, white bears and frozen water (heck, water in and of itself), of course you won't ever take those claims seriously, because you've never seen any of those things. Similarly, if you live in your own world apart from God, you won't ever find evidence of Him. The difference between trying to prove to me polar bears exist and god exists, is you could just show me a picture or take me to a zoo and say "look, a polar bear". I'm reasonable enough to say, "gee willikers Landlord, you're right." With a god, there's no physical, testable evidence of any kind. You claim the Big Bang is evidence of a god's existence, but it certainly isn't. God has always been applied to things we don't really understand. Thousands of years ago it was volcanos, thunderstorms, ect. now it's a cosmological event. Where will he hide next? You claim the complexity of life is evidence of a god's existence, but as amazing as it is, doesn't it really just prove that life is really complex?

This will be his last home game.

It's all in my newsletter. Do you really think telling someone they are delusional is part of a constructive discussion? To me it just sounds like you're venting at someone, not trying to discuss something with them. Especially when the thing you're trying to "discuss" is a deeply held belief that you know they hold dearly. And for that guy on the fence. Do you really think telling them that the things they believe are bullsh#t, that they are crazy for believing in nonsense and that their God is a magical sky fairy, that their belief is misinformation, that believing what they believe is ignorant, or is an absurdity, is the best way to convince them that they hold errant beliefs? Or do you think maybe you'll just offend, and through offense turn them off to the logic and reasoning that may actually make inroads? To me, too often these "conversations" turn into little more than bashing someone who doesn't believe what you believe. You talk about being responsible. If you truly wanted to be responsible, and to disabuse someone of an errant notion, I believe you are witty enough and adroit enough to use different methods of discussion with them. The absence of this leads me to believe that you are not as interested in having Christians "see the light" as you are in taking a few jabs at them. You can catch more flies with honey than with vinegar. I shoot from the hip, playboy. But you're right, I'm not for everyone. Consider it apple cider vinegar.

Maybe, but there's no reason it shouldn't be up for discussion. I may not convince Po Belini or Landlord that their god is an absolute fallacy. But maybe a bystander who is on the fence about the whole thing is reading. Let me put it this way. Let's say someone makes the assertion that there's an magical walrus living at the bottom of the ocean that controls the entire universe, and he's undetectable by any humanly means that has ever or will ever be invented.. Even more, let's say the majority of society believes in this delusion. Nothing wrong with that right? Right. We all live happily ever after. But lets say based on this belief the majority of society claims thruth about what we can wear, what we can eat, who we can love, who we can f*#k, how we can f*#k, when we can f*#k, what scientific and medical fields can be explored, which legitimate scientific theories can be taught in public schools, and so on and so forth. Wouldn't it be irresponsible to simply let such delusional beliefs, which affect all of us, go unchallanged? They don't affect me in the least. Nada. Zilch. Sounds to me like you're on a mission from God...or the giant walrus. So, are you challenging the Muslims? Calling them out? You don't live within society? The walrus isn't a giant, he's average-sized, just invisible. Sure, I'm all for challenging any misinformation. But I'm against the idea that I shouldn't do that. I'm also not calling anyone out.

Well if the young people would just be as classy and respectful as the old people, none of this would have happened.

I think some of us just have dirty minds, prone to hearing/seeing sexual things when they aren't there. Maybe the reason I watch so much internet pom.

Exactly! STUPIDITY at it's finest. Now I know why a lot of guys in the know question Bo's HC prowess - some even go as far as saying that he's not HC material. Yes, I believe we in the biz call them oxygen thieves.

+1'd. I was going to say just about the same thing.

The McRib is back.

To be fair, weren't the Cowboys like 1-7 or something awful like that at this time last year? I share your pain and I fear it will never get any better until changes are made in both ownership, coaching, and the GD QB. Jerry definitely needs to STFU and let the coaches and players handle the games. As much as I hate to say it, Romo needs to go. He loses control when the game is on the line. I think the verdict is still out on the coaches though, considering the overhaul and this being their first year together. I've been somewhat impressed with Demarco Murray though. Who would you want to get to replace Romo? Personally, I wouldn't worry about replacing Romo. Worry about getting the defensive pieces in place. He'll look fantastic if the game isn't on his shoulders every week. Giving up 23 or so points a game is a tough way to make a living. I think Ryan is a really good defensive coordinator, let him build that defense. The secondary is comically bad.

What an overhyped turd of a game.

Because she's a woman. Oh my. Sir, that was sexist. ..and hilarious.

LOL I guess they wanted to top last year's gripping performance by Kid Rock.
