NBC orders 22 episodes of new comedy starring Michael J. Fox, and loosly based on his life for Fall 2013 -- (link) - MDH Aug 21, 06:32
Ok, so there have been more and more "here's our starting QB" announcements recently and I was wondering... - Jim Aug 21, 06:24 8
- Colleges are more-and-more becoming the training areas for the NFL. -- nm - Spawn Aug 21, 07:20 1
  - Yep, all the way down to high-school onward down are running far more sophisticated passing offenses. - Will Hunting Aug 21, 07:41
- Seems like it. It's the combination of lots of old guard QBs retiring or underperforming, and a lot of new QBs hitting it big. - Inigo Aug 21, 06:30 1
  - With 13 new-ish QBs in the league, the numbers are against them working out. - Inigo Aug 21, 06:33
- [deleted] 3
  - I actually went through the list, because I had to see how many teams...and it's crazy. - Jim Aug 21, 06:34 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - And apologies to Mr. 3...he's gonna have to wait for Peyton to finish winning Super Bowls before he gets his. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 21, 06:39
@JanCBS: Sr GOP source on the full-court press to get Akin to step aside tells me: "It's hard to reason with an idiot." -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 06:24 20
- I don't think he's an idiot, I just think he's a true believer and getting him to step aside is going to take extortion. - spamlet Aug 21, 06:53 1
  - so, you're saying he's even less amenable to reason than an idiot? :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 06:55
- and yet his views seem to be fully within the mainstream of the current GOP. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 06:25 17
  - FYI the draft language for the Republican Party platform is out today, it is insane as expected. - MDH Aug 21, 06:33
  - ascendent, yes. but mainstream? no. - znufrii Aug 21, 06:33 4
    - this. I know many GOPers but most do not agree with him. -- nm - loosilu Aug 21, 07:34
    - I agree with this. - Kim Pine Aug 21, 06:38
    - specifically I was referring to the politicians in Congress, but the party at large has also veered right over the years as well. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 21, 06:34 1
      - there is certainly a shift to the right in the mainstream as well, no doubt about it. - znufrii Aug 21, 06:40
  - I really don't think so -- nm - Epiphany Aug 21, 06:28 8
    - the majority of current GOP house members share his position on abortion, and his boy Paul Ryan co-sponsored a bill to narrow the definition of "rape" - Don Homer Aug 21, 06:32 7
      - I can't even imagine why we need to define rape or even narrow the definition. People have lost their damn minds -- nm - Epiphany Aug 21, 06:40 6
        
        Because the fewer rapes that are legit rapes, the fewer potential rape-exception abortions. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 21, 06:45 5
        
        No. That's not even an option. You're thinking from a pro-choice mindset. Any abortion is the killing of human life. - spamlet Aug 21, 06:54 3
        
        be that as it may, that's not the argument that's being made here. -- nm - znufrii Aug 21, 07:00 2
        
        I was responding to wrong element's assertion, with which you agreed. - spamlet Aug 21, 07:02 1
        
        it was an accurate observation, fwiw, but doesn't speak to my issues with the specific policy being discussed. - znufrii Aug 21, 07:17
        
        oh, sure. - znufrii Aug 21, 06:52
  - Bullshit. -- nm - Ender Aug 21, 06:26 1
    - His rapes comments, no, but his hardline anti-abortion views - amoxy Aug 21, 06:32
Reagen needs to make a flow chart about when it's appropriate to make Venn diagrams. -- nm - Inigo Aug 21, 06:23
