  1. oh wow, i really hope this guy was kidding. i had a 3.43 gpa in high school. you slack in high school, you slack in college. you don't have a job in college, you have no spending money. you depend on your parents, you're gonna be living with them until you're 40. they take your car and phone away, PAY FOR IT YOURSELF. grow up and take responsibility for your life instead of letting your parents deal with your mess.

  2. Anyone see that there is a new show airing on Spike every Wednesday at 10pm starting on March 30th about the Welch area coal mines?? I saw a commercial for it a few minutes ago watching Band of Brothers on Spike and thought it looked pretty good. It's about the mine ran by Tom Roberts and Mike Crowder in Welch and Westchester area. It looks pretty interesting. Just thought I'd see if anyone else has seen or heard about it.

  3. i dont know anything about soccer lol....i just take the win every now and then...thus why my streak never lasts very long lol.

     

    Inter was a BIG favorite in this game, they might have gotten caught looking forward for next weeks Champions League match against Bayern though and gave up the easy 3 points late.

  4. I'm at 2 again now (thanks to UVA lol) and I'm going with this one today...I know nothing about soccer but i usually do "ok" with picking "win" on these win vs. win or draw:

     

    2:45 PM

     

    Soccer

    Inter Milan: Win -- Not Started 98.8%

    @ Brescia: Win or Draw -- 1.2%

     

    I hope you pick Brescia for the draw or win...tied at 1 with 2 minutes and stoppage time left. Brescia tied the game in about the 83rd minute or so. Inter might be able to pull it out but it's not looking too good. And as I'm typing this Brescia was just awarded a PK and saved by Cesar from Inter to keep it at 1-1.

  5. Agreed wholeheartedly, I think the set-up is to where it will end up a rematch. You can't forget about one of the best players in soccer right now as well, Gareth Bale. That man is dominant and can change a game, with him and Lennon on the wings, any team will struggle with the speed of them. I think United can hang with them with Evra and Rafael at the outside backs and Nani (if he's back and they draw Tottenham) and whoever else on the other side. Either way the draw works, I see it a Barca-United rematch. And United is the ONLY EPL team that has a shot at winning it. Period.

  6. I also hope that Chelsea get destroyed, but realistically, it won't happen. And my girlfriend had asked me yesterday who I wanted to win, Arsenal or Barca, I told her that was like asking if you'd rather be shot or stabbed, that's how I feel about those 2 teams hahahaha.

  7. I would have to respectively disagree about Puyol and Pique, all WC, the commentators even claimed that was the weak spot was the center of the defense, as is the same with Barca. If you meet a team with strong center mids and strong strikers (Man U, Chelsea, Inter) then it could smell trouble. I just don't wanna see Barca win because they have so many players that have earned trophies since '08 with Spain and clubs.

  8. ...anyone following the Champions League? I know there aren't that many soccer followers on here.

     

    The footballing gods were looking over the Camp Nou today as Barca ousted Arsenal 3-1 (4-3 on aggregate). Harsh sending off for Van Persie, but Barca were easily the better side over the two legs. Shakhtar gave Roma the business over two legs 6-2 on aggregate and advance.

     

    Interesting games tomorrow with Milan heading to White Hart Lane against Tottenham and Valencia going to Germany to face Schalke 04. Gotta think Spurs and 04 advance there.

     

    Yes, the Van Persie sending off was harsh, BUT, in the first half when he got his first yellow, it should have actually been a red IMO. He was striking back after that altercation in which he got grabbed in the neck, obviously intent trying to hit the defender, pitiful act. I've never liked RVP, and that just solidified my standing on him. Barcelona was looking good, but not like the best club in the world like some have called them, they still have weaknesses in their defense. A good club can see that and exploit it a lot. Tottenham got saved by Gallas today and advanced, another good game to watch even though it was 0-0. I'm really looking forward to Man U's second leg (considering I am a HUGE Man U fan, have been since I've been watching soccer) and Inter Milan's second leg. I also want to see Real out early because I can't stand them the same I can't stand Arsenal and Barca hahaha. If I were these teams, I'd be worried about Shakhtar, they are legit and can flat-out play, definitely no slouch (sp?). Just my two cents.

  9. he admitted to the school of having sexual relations with his girlfriend and was kicked off the team for violating the honor code. i respect the hell outta this kid though, he did the right thing in admitting it even if he did get kicked off the team. takes a lot of guts and responsibility to own up to that knowing the school's policies.

  10. I'd like to see Roach, Wyatt, Walkoff and Robert Henry on the sidelines in some way, shape or form....I'd also like to see the kids conditioning and practicing harder, doesn't seem like a tough practice at all when I watch them. Practice should be harder than the games, in my opinion, the game should be a break from practice.

     

    agreed 1000%, practices should get you READY for the games, including full contact, full speed drills. the only day you should get to relax is the Thursday practice for the walk through. i play soccer in college and our practices are wayyyyyyyy harder than the games because we have conditioning, drills, sprints, drills, sprints, intra-squad scrimmage, then possibly more conditioning depending on the intensity of practice.

  11. the way I look at it is not the fact that the coaches aren't poor judges of talent, but children of college legends or pro legends are a big risk, they will always be put under the microscope when it comes to measuring up to their dad's standards. most coaches don't know whether to take the risk and give a scholarship to a son of the legacies or pass them up. it's a lose-lose to most coaches seeing that if they give the scholarship and the kid just fizzes out then it was a stupid mistake and only got the scholarship cause of the name. or they pass them up and they go on to be studs on the court/field. just my 2 cents on passing up legacies and such.

  12. It was actually a very heads up play by the QB. He is the one that saw the clock was running out and snapped the ball anyway. The coaches had nothing to do with it, that was all on the QB. It was kind of a "what's the worst that could happen?" type things.

  13. Actually, young law school graduate, assault is the imminent apprehension of harm. The only applicable assault in this scenario whould be when the player charged at the official or before he shoved the official. Once the player touches the official, a battery has occurred in both tort and criminal law. This is a simple battery. You better get this straight before you take the bar.

     

    Actually, the ref backed away in fear right before the charging of the player, thus the assault part.
