I couldn't care less who wins. Sports has become an afterthought for me these days, especially when my team is out of it.

If I watch the game, I'll just hope for a close, exciting game no matter who wins.

While I expect the Bears to beat Seattle, I'm not so sure about either Green Bay or Atlanta. When Cutler is at his best, the Bears can beat anyone. Forte is versatile enough and no tandem of recievers are as fast as Knox and Hester. The opposition having to obssess about Hester's ability to return kicks is a huge advantage for the Bears.

So, there are positive things to look forward to with the Bears.

I know what you mean about how it feels when your team is out of it. I'd probably watch very little of the playoffs if the Bears weren't involved.

yeah, its been tough for about 20 years.

I got khoos a pink one. She loves it.

Hope your New Years Eve went well.

I hope the Giants win for your sake. All I really care about this week when it comes to football is that the Bears beat the Vikings Monday night.

By the way, the Yankees better do something big, or they'll be left in the dust by the Red Sox.

Yeah, the Sox might be really good next year. It mostly depends on the health of Peavey and if this kid, Chris Sale, can establish himself as their lockdown closer.

Very cool. Seeing Dr. J with all that grey hair maskes me feel even older than I am.

If it puts a smile on your face, it's all good.

There is a thread about this on the CE boards. Basically what it comes down to is that 1) the new scanners don't detect what they are intended too; 2) there are agents who are way to overzealous with their pat-downs, and groping people in ways that would be considered a felony if you or I did it to a stranger. I dunno. I'm of a mind that if you don't have anything to hide, what is the problem? Yet, some scumbag grabbing my balls to check for weapons crosses a line for me.

I'm ambivalent about this whole thing. I don't believe that if you don't have anything to hide you should subject yourself to any and all policies that some governmrnt agency decides to establish.

On the other hand, I'd like to feel safer. My lifelong belief that the right to privacy trumps everything else, I'm leaning on the side of those that rail against these invasive techniques.

I'll be interested to see how many people refuse either method of screening tomorrow.

Good thing I haven't eaten as I look at that mug. I feel like throwing up.

Hey captain! Had a visit from Laerkai & CinderOla a couple weeks ago and we reminisced. Hope you're good and Connecticut's still treating you well!

-P.

I always vote, although the races In NYC were all pretty cut and dry.

I'm not into politics nearly as much as I used to be. I'm very disillusioned regarding the tone of the whole political spectrum.

What gets me, is that Bush buried us to the degree that we may never recover, yet people expect Obama to have already fixed everything Bush broke.

I can't take the stupidity of people any more. It's obvious that Obama was set up to fail.

Obama may be all the things you say, but the rest of his presidency has already been made irrelevant by Tuesday's election results. There will be nothing but gridlock the rest of the way I'm afraid.

Poetic for A-rod to be the final out in Arlington. Don't worry, I'nm sure the Yanks will open the purse and Cliff Lee is target #1 in the off season. :-) Boo Giants. The Braves ... ah well...new season, new coach..

I'll be rooting for the Giants to put the final nail in the Cowboys' coffin a week from Monday night.

Go Giants, both football and baseball.

Only in America can a mass murderer go about his life without a care in the world just because he was the president. And we ctiticize other countries for having dictators.

hiiiii!

Sports can be the source for some inspiring stories. Josh Hamilton is another story of redemption that is worth noting.
