Very tempting, indeed. Watching football's about the only reason I pay for cable anymore. Not sure the $350 will make up for the costs savings, but it sure would be fun being snooty and bragging out my lack of cable.
You won't be able to watch anything on Sunday Ticket that you can get on a cable channel (i.e., no Sunday or Monday night football or local teams).

Ever notice that the Rays are always on the receiving end of this stuff?
(I turned it on in the 6th, heard it was 11 to [does it matter?], and decided I didn't need to hear the rest.)

So, is this the first 28-out perfect game?

How the hell was this guy hired back in the first place?

I fail to see how men enjoy any significant advantage over women that a woman winning a major bowling event is significant on a gender level.
If men don't enjoy a significant advantage winning major bowling events, why is this the first time a woman has won?

When I sat there seriously considering ending my own life and the best way to do it, I thought of my wife and children, and how sad and traumatized they would be whichever way I did it. And I stepped back from the edge that day and damn glad I did.
Whereas Enke thought about his wife and child and likely thought, in his diseased mental state, that they would be better off without him. After all, him being away for so long, in a career he was "failing" at, with no other way to provide for them, because what else does he know but soccer? If he was out of the picture, the threat of their daughter being taken away would be gone. His wife could find someone better to love her and help raise their daughter, someone not broken. After all, he couldn't even save his first daughter. Yeah, they'll be sad, but they'll move on, and be better for it. Hey, there's a train.
Or, you know, maybe he didn't think a single thought about them. I don't really know. To be fair, I doubt he really thought much about what he'd leave behind for the bystanders. I guess I just don't see the usefulness in getting pissed off at dead people for offing themselves when they were clearly in a very broken mental state.
Now, after writing this comment, I'm off to watch baby ducks in a bathtub.

I am wondering why everybody seems so concerned with protecting NFL players when of all the occupations I can think of, they have some of the best pay, benefits, and a player run union to fight for the rights and goals of their membership.
Well, they get hit in the head a lot, so...

it's getting harder and harder to be a conservative white guy in America these days.
That's a good thing. The smaller the Archie Bunker contingent gets, the better off our country is.
Back when Rush made his McNabb statement, I knew he'd get a lot of heat for it, but the man was just stating his opinion.
"Black people should go back to Africa" is also an opinion.

Oh, and to add sprinkles to the bloody corpses:
Team Genocide is the same team that, for at least two seasons, sold their tickets to scal ticket brokers before letting their loyal season ticket holders have a chance.

1.) Team name is a racial slur on a people that our government literally tried to wipe from the face of the Earth, by killing them all.
2.) They sue a 72-year-old woman because she can no longer pay for season tickets, even though she is a lifelong fan of a team with a name that evokes the near-genocide of a people and the taking of their land by force, by killing most of them.
3.) Team genocide wins, financially ruining someone's grandma. Oh, and by the way, the name of this team -- in the year 2009 -- is a literal racial slur on the same level as "nigger", "spic", and "kike". And this is a team based in the capital city of the government that tried to wipe said people from the face of the Earth, by killing them all.
4.) I hope you go 0-17. That's right, I hope you somehow lose an extra game. For the fucking Indians, and someone's grandma.

They were going to stiff him on the tip? That's a five-minute major right there.

FWIW, while I love wearing Greek pastries on my face, I think WeedyMcSmokey meant balaclava (which I also love eating).

Bad lie
Should have tore the alligator's eye out.
