No prob. I've been saying that for years, and my buddies (who are PSU, TTUN, Bama, Auburn, Florida, Cincy fans and such) weren't as happy as I was to read it. Since everyone else is: 1) Troy Smith (the #1/#2 TTUN game sealed it for me) 2) AJ Hawk 3) Eddie George 4) Anthony Gonzales 5) Carlos Hyde

Got in a wreck and got hurt? Expect buying a Corvette, totaling it, scamming your ins. company, buying it back, and "building" it. :gabe: At least you weren't at fault though. LOL Hope all is well and nothing is seriously wrong man.

Buckeye Championship Series

Curious: do the people who commented from the first fight still think this is all rigged? I don't like Silva either, at ALL, but I hate to see athletes go out in this manner. Like McGahee in the NCG.

Agreed. I refuse to count them as B1G this year though. lol Nah. They're defeated in their own minds already. Before THE game there were reports and sound clips of players saying most of the team had lost faith in them and in Hoke.

My brother works at Thompson Plageman Memorials and the owner is a family friend. Don't know what they could do for ya but can't hurt to call them up. They've done some amazing work. Ask for Keven or Steve and tell them Randy sent ya.

This. B1G Bowls: 0-1 Thanks Gophers.

Good luck.

Not if the store touts a warranty like that. But really though? Now debates are gonna spread about returning TVs? Winter hits CR hard.

Link?

This. Forget the boards, a buddy of mine is a HUGE PSU fan and STILL post stuff about Joe Pa on his facebook regularly after thrashing tattoogate.

Ok.

I can see that side of things and see that it happens. In some cases it's very unfortunate and, as with the politicians and other celebs who have said crap, shady. Chris Brown is back at it. Selling albums and crap. Everyone has forgotten (in that he's still able to hold the career he is) that he beat a women. Savagely. Phil also said this, and I read this LONG before all of the GQ thing came to light. I don't think he hates anyone. I really don't like the media. The way they quote and spin things always makes me question the reality (in every story we read). I'm not saying he didn't say those things. I'm not saying people won't get upset. I'm jsut saying he stood for what he believes in and is getting judgement unfair in comparison to others. I dunno, maybe I'm not explaining myself well enough on here.

Again, the pic of Si as my avatar isn't b/c I'm a homer fan. I grew a rockin' beard. Looked for a rockin' beard photo. Found meh that fit specified avatar sized. Used Si's. It wasn't even Phil. I watch the show. Not to a fault, since I don't have cable, but if I'm at my folks house or something and it's on I'll watch it. Being a fan of a show doesn't mean I think someone should be able to get away with something. I'm a HUGE OSU fan. If a player or coach does something shady...gotta pay the piper. Their status doesn't make it ok. My whole point in this thread, and I apologize if I came off as a Phil loving hater of ANYONE here, is this: when asked an opinion, we as Americans SHOULD be able to express said opinions without fear of repercussions. No, it's not popular, but let GLAAD and such do their thing. Stating your beliefs and standing for them is a freedom not afforded in some countries. I feel it's one we should have. Yeah, yeah, I get the whole "the gubmint did nothing! It's not a matter of free speech!" but in reality, it is. He express freely in his own words his beliefs, and got crapped on. To be fair, a friend of mine (who is gay ironically enough) and I have had this convo (not about Phil, but about people talking about/speaking out against homosexuals in various ways) and he has attended marches and such. Both of us agree that anyone has a right to their opinion/beliefs and a right to stand up for them as long as they're not harming others. What I see when Phil says he doesn't agree with homosexuality (even if he does take it to the extreme) is no different than what I see when a "kiss in" goes down. Both parties expressing what they believe. I get that he got fired. I just think it's super scrubby the way A&E is coming out as being "right" in what they're doing and the media for trying to slander the family and dig up the past. Start with our politicians. Let's fire them first. There have been some crappy ones in the past who have said/done some moronic things and are still chillin' in their position. As DJ pointed out, Phils stance is nothing new, and A&E knew that, put on the show, made millions then threw him under the bus. Does that really not seem shady to anyone else? I don't have anything against anyone, here or anywhere else. I'm totally fine with everyone's beliefs and opinions on CR. No, I don't agree with them all, but I don't agree with my wife 100% of the time either and I love her more than life itself. Man, I truly hope I'm not coming across as hating homosexuals, you guys, or anyone else. Simply not me.

I feel like I'm watching Whose Line Is It Anyway? and the audience suggestion that you got was "guy who takes everything literally and way too serious". Fine. Your employer says, instead of kicking puppies, all people of a certain race should be scrubbed from the earth (since you yourself compared gay rights to civil rights, which I too see a correlation with). Do you stand up for what you believe or roll with it WHEN ASKED YOUR OPINION? Fair enough. Scenario is now, since puppy kicking is out the window, word gets out that employer is Hitler V2. You love your job. Attention comes to you since you're a prestigious employee and the masses want to know your thoughts. Do you stand for what you believe in? As for what I said about respecting yours, and everyones opinion and saying I intended NO sarcasm, I meant that. You can ask anyone that knows me personally. Anthony, Doc, Clay, DJ, Steve, Mitch...I don't get upset over what's posted online. I don't judge. Even if I don't agree I'm always respectful. That's the way I was raised. One of my favorite quotes I've heard in a sermon relating to God's love and how we should treat others is this: "I love you (everyone). My love is not conditional on you loving me back." (Let's not take the "love" part of that somewhere it doesn't need to go. ) Sooo...do people rally against A&E now? Probably not. shrugsallaround.gif

Thanks for the heads up. :thumbup:

1) He didn't say, "A&E is worthless because..." 2) He was asked his opinion on a subject. If your employer said, "Hey, what do you think about punting puppies into a river?" do you stand for what you believe or say, "Yeah, you like punting puppies into the river so I'm gonna go with that"? As stated, he wasn't campaigning anywhere and I have yet to see anywhere where he even mentions A&E. Again, shrug.jpg

Not disagreeing with your statements but I think losing DD is more detrimental. I don't think he hates anyone, but that's what he's being labeled as. shrug.jpg

Seriously man. I truly wasn't being sarcastic.

I respect your assessment of my view on constitutional rights. No sarcasm at all.

He got fired for his beliefs. If a muslim gets fired for being a muslim and saying what he believes when he is asked, is that ok? Buddhist? Jew? Wiccan?

This. Not this.

Agreed. Philly and D. Smith both have 655 yds putting them at 121 in the nation. Cool thing is, Braxton IS able to spread the ball around, especially when he has to scramble. Mulitple WRs/TEs with yardage (albeit not great yardage) and TDs, no single star to double team. When the Vikings play, AP is targeted. Detroit? Calvin. Cincy? AJ Green. Browns? Gordon. Saints? Graham. Seahawks? Lynch. Broncos? Moreno, Thomas, Thomas (yes, there are two), Decker, Welker... I like having multiple targets, but I agree, it'd be beneficial to have BETTER mulriple targets.

This.
