Re: New Uniforms?

Looks like a Vikings version of the Giants jerseys. Which is definitely not a bad thing, I like the simplicity. Conrrsidering Wilf is/was a Giants fan thats not a surprise. Though I'm not too sure on the road unis yet, the plain purple numbers over white just seem to be missing something; plus I lov...

Re: Osama Bin Laden Dead

Arabic uses a different alphabet than English, so it's a transliteration (same thing happens with chinese or japanese or russian or hebrew), and those are always weird. Yeah I did a little research and there are tons of ways to spell it. Generally the media uses Osama bin Laden. Official government...

Re: Osama Bin Laden Dead

GZ on finnally getting him it was about time :D :D Why are fox news speeling it "Usama" i thought it was Osama ? But really great job finnally getting the guy :D The spelling of his name is disputed, though usually we see Osama bin Laden there are many variations. I'm sure it has to do wi...

Re: Twins

[quote)The Twins magic number is 4. If the Twins win the same number of games or 1 less against KC as the Sox do against CLE (which ends up with either team 1/2 game up), the Sox have to play the makeup game against Detroit. If the Sox win that to tie, there would be a 1 game playoff, if they win th...

Re: Wall Street Ready To Tank Tomorrow

Slightly disagree. Greenspan kept interest rates artificially low for too long. That cheap money helped to fuel the housing bubble. In addition to that Freddie and Frannie went way off the reservation. They were set up years ago to help bring liquidity to the mortgage market with the idea of foster...

Re: Wall Street Ready To Tank Tomorrow

Wow. It makes much more sense now. Thanks. I have a question that may border on politics, but how much of this is due to the war and oil prices? Will the economy recover? What does this mean for future housing markets, and also stocks? And 401K? Will that be safe? Be gentle, I am a complete zero wh...

Re: Twins

They're scoring 5 runs per game. Ther offense is fine, aside from the lack of power. They have actually outscored the White Sox. The Sox have twice as many HRs, but the Twins have more runs. I stand corrected. Thanks for the info, I hadn't compared the two teams' runs scored for the season. I was a...

Re: Any gamers like to play madden 09 online

I just finally bought a PS3 today and bought Madden. Boy do I suck! I was pretty good on the original XBOX, but have only played a few games on the next gen consols over the last few years. The different controls is the biggest hurdle right now, I can't get used to R2 being accelerate rather than X ...

mmmm the first one i remember was Steelers and Dallas Which time? The first I remember is the Bills-Giants. The first I watched in full and understood the game well was the Bills-Cowboys (the first time.) Haven't missed a minute since accept the 1998 season where I only watched a little bit (I was ...

Re: Twins

Small ball works if your bullpen can hold a lead. I do think the Twins need a power hitter, a proven one. I was really hoping for Adrian Beltre to come to the Twins. The one thing that I don't understand is for so long this season, Punto, Gomez, Span, and Casilla would all bunt for hits, and sacrif...

Re: TV commercials - 2X loud

:lol: I haven't noticed the loud commercials too much anymore but I do notice that when I play DVD's, a lot of the times the music or background special effects noises are way louder than when someone speaks. Maybe its my DVD player but its really annoying. Thats odd. Do you have surround sound or ...

Re: Twins

Hate hearing that "White Sox will lose division, they rely too much on the home run" What?! The game is about scoring, and stopping the opposing team from scoring. They're #1 in the division for a reason, they can hit home runs. When did this "small ball" become "the right ...

Re: Twins

I would say the general manager in this case. The Yankees have stolen other players for years and it has benfited them. Unfortunatly for them they are not developing any young talent of their so hence they are playing catch up to the other teams on young talent. Cashman (the GM) has tried to build ...

Re: Twins

I like the twins to be honest they always have a good team and spend little compared to a lot of clubs to get it. Honestly I am just glad the Yankees are blowing it right now. This is going to be the first year the have not made the playoffs since 1993. They are 11.5 games back in their division an...

Re: 21

It was OK, but it never really built up to much. I liked it, but once it was done I had a feeling of disappointment because it just didn't climax.
