- Don't think so -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 12:26
I rarely watch TV shows online but had to catch up with last night's Project Runway...... - Meg Aug 2, 12:23
Teenage boy kills his family, found not guilty by reason of insanity. What does he with his life after that? -- (link) - ty97 Aug 2, 12:16 8
- If he kills another family does he go free because he's insane?....again. - CrankYanker Aug 2, 12:18 7
  - Because there are instances where someone is insane only for a time. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:34 6
    - Is that considered insanity? The whole "insane at the time" defense drives me insane. - CrankYanker Aug 2, 13:00 3
      - it's not a coping thing ... - zork Aug 2, 13:04 1
        
        interesting, I'm sure it was a very frustrating time. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 2, 13:08
      - Yes it is. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:02
    - PTSD night terrors...a lot marriages broke up cause she could deal with a lot, but that waking up being choked is abit much -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 2, 12:42 1

28 Things That Happened After The Harry Potter Books Ended -- (link) - zork Aug 2, 12:15
Yeah, I remember a 'forgot the kid in the carseat' *article* posted here awhile back. Reading a few stories was more than enough. For forever. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 2, 12:13 2
- The PSA video does a great job of scaring the sh*t out of you and making you sick at the same time. - CrankYanker Aug 2, 12:15
- Yeah I think that was one of the Pulitzer winners that year -- nm - SyrDragon Aug 2, 12:15
Reagen, I think there's an argument that Canadian music has never been as strong as in the last two decades. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 2, 12:12 [Backboard] 12
- then again, Arcade Fire are obviously overrated -- nm - mud Aug 2, 12:15 3
  - They are. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:37
  - Boo!!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney - Arcade Fire Fan Aug 2, 12:18
  - Maybe. I actually am sympathetic to the raves they receive. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 2, 12:17
- I would argue that the 60s and 70s would be it -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:14 7
  - I'd stack the last twenty years against those without reservation. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 2, 12:18 6
    - pffft. - zork Aug 2, 12:22 5
      - I'd believe you if you left Rush off that list. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:40 4
        
        not everyone appreciates concept albums but within that context they did well in the 70s - zork Aug 2, 12:43 3
        
        Yep. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:57 2
        
        uh huh -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:59 1
        
        .... - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:01
HAHA! Colin, you're funny. - Stephen Aug 2, 12:08

Rush Limbaugh was just saying how the chosen name 'Carlos Danger', should help Republican candidates in NY in the future - Jovian Aug 2, 12:01 2
- I think it's disrespectful to Hispanics to suggest they should take this personally. They're more mature than that. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 2, 12:32
- Is it OK if I think it's disrespectful to Hispanics but don't think it will help Republicans win their votes at all? -- nm - Roger More Aug 2, 12:31
I have a baseball question too. Maybe we've covered this...if so, don't be bitchy, just link me. It's about ARod, possible ban and the Yankees. - Jim Aug 2, 11:59 66
- Buck Showwalter certainly believes so. - spamlet Aug 2, 12:08
- Good question -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 12:02
- Yep, they get the ultimate Get out of Salary Cap Hell Free card. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:01 62
  - Doesn't that seem kinda like bullshit? A team like Anaheim will be crippled for years because of the Pujols contract... - Jim Aug 2, 12:02 61
    - There's an easy fix here that's logical but not too logical - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:12 34
      - [deleted] 31
        
        Relax, this isn't a Yankee-hatey. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:22 30
        
        [deleted] 25
        
        Here's the thing...this is a perfect storm that only affects the Yankees...but believe me, I would feel the same about the Brewers if Ryan Braun was - Jim Aug 2, 12:32 24
        
        [deleted] 23
        
        Because the Yankees and whatever other team willfully ignored the situation. -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 12:59 6
        
        every team in baseball has / had guys who used PED's and knew about it. - groiny Aug 2, 13:01 5
        
        As did Selig. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:03 4
        
        he had to battle the players union to do anything, losing battle. - groiny Aug 2, 13:06 3
        
        Barry Bonds -- nm - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:07 2
        
        what about Barry Bonds? -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 13:08 1
        
        Selig was/is a huge fan. - the liioulu with receipts Aug 2, 13:10
        
        So, let me get this straight. Player X blows out his knee can't play anymore - salary cap hit. Player cheats, gets caught, gets banned - no salary - Jim Aug 2, 12:43 15
        
        Are the Patriots going to be hit on the salary Cap for Hernandez? -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 12:53 4
        
        Yep, as soon as they cut him, they took a cap hit. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:56
        
        They cut him...so I would think any prorated signing bonus would hit their cap for this year, yes. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:55 2
        
        and before any allegations have been proved -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:56
        
        Here...the Pats are getting boned on the cap next year. -- (link) - Jim Aug 2, 12:56
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        So, the lesson here is "go ahead and sign all the steroid guys. they get caught...no worries, they'll drop right off your cap"? -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:47 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        It sets up, what I consider to be, an unfair situation. Pujols is a perfect example, IMO - Jim Aug 2, 12:55
        
        because the team is still paying the hurt guy. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:44 4
        
        I don't see why that matters. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:48 1
        
        the hurt guy will eventually come back (in theory). nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:59
        
        the insurance company actually, right? -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:44 1
        
        sometimes, it depends on the guy and the injury. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:59
        
        No, it's not. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:25 3
        
        it just so happens that the poster boy for PED's plays on the team. -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:25 2
        
        They're also at this point, the only team that gets the 189mil cascading tax - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:29 1
        
        for this year, I agree, but for 2014, they should have him off the books. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:30
      - Exactly. It's like an NFL team cutting a guy. They don' -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:13 1
        
        t pay him anymore, but his prorated signing bonus hits the cap. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:13
    - [deleted] 24
      - That's the chance you take when you sign someone to a stupid contract. The Angels didn't know Pujols would end up on the DL in Year 2...why penalize - Jim Aug 2, 12:09 21
        
        [deleted] 20
        
        If they had no idea, I might buy that. Might. But considering they continued to honor the contract after he admitted it, that's taking the - Jim Aug 2, 12:24 15
        
        They had no choice but to honor the contract. The CBA won't let them cut him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:25 14
        
        This is true, but they could have tried to void the contract then. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:26 11
        
        I have no problem with the contract being voided and the Yankees never having to pay him another cent. What I don't think is fair.... - Jim Aug 2, 12:28 10
        
        [deleted] 7
        
        In the NFL, it does if the player is murdered. The Skins had to sal-cap Sean Taylor after he was killed - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:36 6
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        What team will suffer more? What small market teams are up against the cap? -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 12:45 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I'm only arguing cap dude. I don't think the Yankees should have to pay ARod another cent. I'm with you on that. Void the contract...fuck him. - Jim Aug 2, 12:50 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        to discourage Parcells from taking out contracts on his players? -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:41
        
        they go hand in hand, you can not have it all. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:29 1
        
        Clearly the Yanks will get it all if he's thrown out. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:38
        
        well, they could have cut him, but still on the hook for his $. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 12:26 1
        
        Right, but who's voiding a contract of a 32yr old MVP level player becuase he admitted to cheating 6 years earlier? - Will Hunting Aug 2, 12:31
        
        but the player is obligated to try and to not do things that are against the rules of the game. The team didn't give the drugs to him. -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:19 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        if it's proven that they had long-term knowledge and did nothing about it then they should be responsible for the money, otherwise no. -- nm - zork Aug 2, 12:32 1
        
        [deleted]
      - because it is the Yankees. - groiny Aug 2, 12:08 1
        
        [deleted]
    - I agree. -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 12:04
- Umm, I'm not an expert, but my magic eight ball says yes -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 12:00
Turntable? -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 11:57 7
- in the office today otherwise I'd be there. -- nm - znufrii Aug 2, 12:26 1
  - That's the best reason! ;-) -- nm - con_carne Aug 2, 12:32
- Who is the guest in the room? -- nm - amoxy Aug 2, 12:06
- Link! -- (link) - con_carne Aug 2, 11:59
- I wish that would work when I drive. Stupid Tru for not having a 4g phone. -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:58 2
  - You still Sprint? My AT&T iPhone works just fine. -- nm - spamlet Aug 2, 11:59 1
    - Yes, supposedly 3G, but you know how that goes. -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 12:00
I want to ask a baseball question, but I am irrationally worried it might jinx a team. - Truman Aug 2, 11:54 5
- Too late. - Spawn Aug 2, 11:55 4
  - Good, I always did hate the braves. -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:55 3
    - Doesn't everyone? -- nm - Spawn Aug 2, 11:56 2
      - Hmm, impossible, someone here has to like them -- nm - Truman Aug 2, 11:57 1
        
        I like them, but I'm prejudiced....I worked for them when I was 16 as an usher. -- nm - CrankYanker Aug 2, 11:58
