Thorne, it is good for you to own up to the things you've said in the past, and try to make amends. This is coming from a staunch atheist. Good luck.

Clearly Mike Weber was an unknowing agent of Harbaugh. Through his NFL connections, he setup the Bears organization to offer Drayton the job when it was clear Weber was not going to flip back to Michigan. Having used his telepathic powers to comb Drayton's mind for weakness, he saw in his heart he desired a seat on an NFL staff. The timing was such to cause the desired, and inevitable internet smear campaign against Ohio State, reducing the media coverage of Michigan's abysmal recruiting class. The Harbaugh is pure khaki-evil, and conniving and clever.

Waaaah, my free college education, and shot at the pros was ruined when I was tricked into agreeing to play for one of the most successful football programs in the country, with a consensus top 3 currently active head coach, who also happen to be the current National Champion's. Release this doofus if he's actually salty (which is anybody's guess) about it.

Like all things network/TV/Internet related the experiences are going to vary greatly, and almost solely dependant on your specific place in the network related to congestion/facilities/components/inside-wiring/ect. I would imagine you are far better off talking to your neighbors, finding out what they're doing and seeing if they're pleased with services, billing, so on. For the record I have TWC, without any real choice beyond the local small Telco, whose network is relatively behind the majors (no fiber deployment). I had absolutely atrocious service despite paying for "Turbo" internet and digital cable with multiple DVRs. My throughout tests were half of advertised, and the HDTV service was super spotty, with annoying signal drops, and artifacting. After a solid years worth of complaining, and several tech-visits, they replaced my drop line and suddenly everything was as advertised. It's been two years and everything seems ok, I'm at 80% or higher of advertised speeds, and the HDTV channels rarely if ever have the same issues. Billing-wise I have to play the "call and get a new promo" game every year or so. Caveat Emptor.

I was just going to post that commercial. Fucking awesome.

That's a nice piece, congrats.

Yeah, I thought he had always stated that the events never occurred. At least the last time I heard Ventura speak on a podcast, he was adamant about it.

Congrats, it's a pretty piece.

I'm sure the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Biopics, biographies, and autobiographies don't show you all the little moments that make people human beings. No racist jokes between close friends under a hush, no one farts as loud as possible and yucks about it for a minute, you don't see secret weaknesses/insecurities exploited during a lover's spat, or the minor squabbles we all participate in as life slowly passes, so on. Just the hard-hitting stuff gets in because of time-constraints, or message-sculpting. Regardless of who is telling the story, or what it's about, the smart money is that it's embellished here and there. If there's a sleazy record producer, corrupt politician, or rival (insert sportsball) player or coach they are rarely fleshed out, or given motivations beyond "obstacle for protagonist". That doesn't make me less excited to see this film, it's on my must-see list. No one is as heroic, or evil, as they are made out to be by the media at large.

Supposed to see it tonight, looking forward to it.

Cardale is great, but I am looking forward to seeing our 4th string QB win the superbowl, and the war on terror.

But what about all the unlimited practice time we got? :gabe:

Then surely what hasn't worked at all for the last 40 years straight and trillion dollars spent will eventually pan out.

I assume they play the National Championship on a weekday so it's not up against the NFL. I also assume it's not on Friday because of traditionally poor Friday ratings. Or because they hate us.

Did you know successful people have nicer houses and cars. I bet if we give everybody better houses and cars, they too will be successful. Then they can join my homeowner's and bimmers soccer league. We all get trophies. It feels good.

Someone was just telling me today, that I needed to go there. They grew up in Portsmouth.

I bet making this substance illegal, forcing it into the black market, massively inflating it's value, while creating criminals out of the substance-addiction prone, and providing an avenue for gangbangers and other lowlifes to get rich is the best course of action. I honestly hope someday we see substance prohibition completely done away with. No, I'm not FOR drugs, I'm against this madness we currently have in place. Yes, being a heroin-addict is not a great way to live. However if heroin/morphine, whatever, was readily available and market controlled (read: cheap), at least the abusers would be able to hold down jobs(I may work with 3 alcoholics), not be as exposed to disease, and the black market would be severely diminished. Oh and the taxpayer would save literally hundreds of billions of dollars or more. Though I guess we'd have to allow people to make poor life choices so let's just have a massive clusterfuck instead.

Translation: Get off my lawn!

The Religion of Peace, strikes again.

Had you read what he actually wrote, you'd think different. The guy is clearly a massive nozzle, with a severe case of illusory superiority because he did a track day or two. For instance if we compare your tale to his, you see the clear line of delineation being who was actually responsible for the vehicle, oneself, or every possible mechanical/situational/failure/gremlin, all happening at once and overcoming even the greatest driver of all times innate and learned abilities combined. You, "I fucked up." Him, "The wind hit me at a 29 degree angle right at the balance point of my vehicle, any other day I'd gently countersteer, provide some minor e-braking correction, while balancing a scolding hot cup of coffee between my giant balls, but there were some girlscouts marching hand in hand in the street just out of frame. I'm a fucking hero."

The sportsmanship feels ...

Gotta let most, if not all, of the lower bowls run first I suppose.

Stave is awful, just killing his team, yet despite his awfulness, they are still in this game.
