Stark's column: Cubs major players for Pujols
Tracer Bullet replied to Hollandsworths mug's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Can we not make this a thing? It's going to be difficult to stop with Theo running the show. Do whatever you need to do. Just don't post about it. -
Who will be the manager? no Ryno talk version
Tracer Bullet replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
YES. fapfapfapfapfap This style of post has really run its course. -
I initially read that as "McCreary" and thought there was a lot more coincidence to that story. It's McQueary, not McCreary McCreamy? Isn't that a doctor on Grey's Anatomy?
-
Rants? It's one of the biggest news stories in years. I agree it shouldn't be in the College Football - Week 11 thread, but I don't think it should go to rants.... Also, things may be getting much worse. http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/football/news?slug=ycn-10407023 As jersey said there's already a thread there. No need to have two threads and bury other cfb discussion. So please, again, take the JoePa discussion to the thread dedicated to him.
-
Whoa whoa whoa. John Wooden abused kids too? I wasn't prepared for that.
-
Move the JoePa discussion to rants please.

People here tend not to do that. It's an annoying habit. I get so [expletive] tired of this reading comprehension [expletive]. It's an internet message board, there's at least as good of odds that the author's post is less clear than they believe it to be as there is some failure of the audience to be able to read. Derwood - if you give a [expletive] what JoePa's intentions were, then you're not as disgusted as most (everyone?). He damn well intended not to use all his power to stop this. You think he intended to, but what, forgot to bring it up? Forgot he's the most powerful person in the damn town? His intentions were not to put an end to the abuse of children and that's clear from his failure to use his enormous power to do so.
-
are you saying I'm among the "minus 2"? Because I'm not arguing that JoePa should stay. I'm in the "burn it to the ground" camp in terms of the administration. The only thing I'm arguing is that a) the football team doesn't deserve to be punished for this and b) despite the outcome, I don't think Paterno's intentions were malicious (and yes, I'm aware that his intentions mean jack [expletive]) Well, yes. Obviously.

I like Iowa's chances. They could just as easily go 0-3 as 3-0 but I think MSU will have a tough time leaving Iowa City with a win. That's not a terribly difficult road to wherever the title game is. I'll be floored if Wisconsin doesn't come out of their division.
-
Maybe this thread can be less about the mutual dislike of you two and more about the unanimous (minus 2) disgust nsbb has for JoePa?
-
How wonderful that would be. No one to blame but yourselves. You started it. And if you hadn't taken your ball and gone home when Rockne beat you, we'd probably be another stupid big ten school.
-
Probably makes sense to take the JoePa talk to the rant thread.
-
The GA talked to the head coach the next day. Perfect response? Maybe not. Better than average? Probably. That the admin took another 10 days to talk to him is on the school. That he didn't make sure this was reported when no police officers ever questioned him about what he saw is on him.
-
I guess he was trying to point out that your feelings about the Declan thing and PSU alums' feelings are different. Not particularly relevant, in my opinion, but I at least see what he was doing there. Did Truffle go to psu? Seems like a bunch of deflection yet again.
-
false equivalence is false Glass houses, stones, etc.
-
If he literally means his gut tells him, then this is worthless... but hopefully the Wilson part has some basis in reality. So much fail in that Q/A. Beyond the obvious...is Sanchez a top flight pitcher?
-
fwiw, I'm a Notre Dame fan and I believe Brian Kelly and the AD should have been fired for his negilicance in the death of Declan Sullivan. Ugh. This is nothing like the ND situation. That's a topic for a different thread.
-
In addition to ssr's point, everyone expected JoePa to step down after the year. So letting him retire on his own terms continues the unchecked authority which, in part, contributed to this mess. Also, once an employee comes out and says to the public that his employer cannot fire him, despite his massive error, failing to take on his challenge makes PSU look even worse now and long-term. Finally, from a legal perspective, every reporter is going to ask about this. JoePa isn't the guy you want fielding questions about alleged victims ("or whatever they are").
-
The reports from people who grew up there support the JoePa is god viewpoint. Did you grow up there?
-
I care less about that than "mindless PSU fan."
-
CNN's spin: "Paterno: Pray for alleged victims" Yeah, that's what he said.
-
why?
-
i.e., Joe Paterno has decided not to change his retirement plans in the least, thank you.

Tracer Bullet replied to Magnetic Curses's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Welcome to the board, but you're going to have to change your name... Thanks for the welcome! I actually wanted to change my name anyways, but I wasn't sure how to do it. Why do I need to change it though? PM a mod your new name choice, if you'd really like to change it. -
Tough life? Yes Joe bc your friend raped them.
