        it was real close between her an Elle McPherson for me. - groiny Jul 18, 07:27 4
        
        yeah, that's a helluva podium to rank -- Cindy, Elle or Kathy. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:27 3
        
        Elle Mac was the only one who gave Kathy competition but to me it wasn't even close. - Mel Profit Jul 18, 07:29 2
        
        See, *this* is the kind of stuff we should be talking about here. Not stuff like, taxes and stuff! -- nm - prayformojo Jul 18, 07:31 1

        the things is that 10 or 15 years ago I think VS models were like Kate. now they are toothpicks - zork Jul 18, 07:33 5
        
        not that toothpicks can't be sexy -- nm - zork Jul 18, 07:40

        Just like Cindy C. -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 07:53

- F**king idiots setting the agenda for young people. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 06:46
[deleted] 29
- It's also a little odd to criticize the system but not the man running on "the system ain't broke". -- nm - TWuG Jul 18, 06:51 26
  - I don't think Romney has ever said that. - spamlet Jul 18, 06:57 24
    - that's tinkering around the edges, at best, not changing the system. - znufrii Jul 18, 07:00 1
      - But it's not status quo either. It's about the same as what Obama has suggested. -- nm - spamlet Jul 18, 07:09
    - His *fix* is to cut taxes. Mostly on the rich. -- (link) - TWuG Jul 18, 07:00 21

        Unless you're talking more EITC's - Strongbad Jul 18, 07:14
        
        but this is sort of the crux of the 'not releasing taxes' issue - Reagen Jul 18, 07:05 16
        
        Personally, it doesn't matter to me. - Strongbad Jul 18, 07:08 15
        
        It doesn't make a lot of sense to complain about the system letting people pay no income taxes and then to not care why they were able to. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 07:14
        
        [deleted] 13
        
        I wouldn't say care *a lot* - Strongbad Jul 18, 07:23 11

Does it seem weird to anyone else that the one team willing to take on Lin's now-huge salary is the one team that has direct knowledge of just how -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 06:38 10
- much money an Asian star player can bring a franchise via international marketing? -- (link) - Beaker Jul 18, 06:39 9
  - Ahhh, I love it when a team is committed to making money instead of winning....it warms my heart as a sports fan. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 06:42 8
    - cause Jason Kidd and Felton are that much better than Lin? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 06:43 7
      - For the price, I'd absolutely take Felton over Lin. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 06:59
      - Different moves to discuss...Lin had 25 good games, broke down and doesn't fit in with the team as constructed. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 06:48 5
        
        maybe. But as the article points out; at worst you retain him and then trade him immediately to get something back for him. Predictions: - Beaker Jul 18, 06:55 4
        
        In regards to #2) I'm all about winning. if I put a boring team out there that wins 4 titles in 9 years, you can call me the Spurs. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:04 3
        
        and again Jason Kidd (aged Kidd of today) and Felton have proven they can win? -- nm - Beaker Jul 18, 07:05 2
        
        Again, you're giving me other moves that I'm not discussing. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:08 1
        
        If I see the contracts -- we're talking Kidd and Felton are about 6.5mil a year ... Lin's about 5mil*. - Will Hunting Jul 18, 07:19
