bottom line for me is instead of holding hearings because a bunch of asshole rich players is
stupid.hold a hearing on how to stop homelessness,hold a hearing about how slow redtape is in critical situations are why people in our country at this moment are starving.sports is entertainment and needs to be kept in it's proper place.like i said it's bullshit that these life saving things are way below the importance of the government when it comes to pro sports!!!

Instead of posting here you should go read a book, take a walk, volunteer somewhere

And my point there is that obviously you don't just post here, just like Congress doesn't just discuss sports (which incidentally is a major business).

CapitolHearings.org

(and it's Facenda, not Fracenda)

take a break slapnuts,no need to be an asshole mama's boy every day of your life!

Have you been working on that comeback for 3 months?

Have a nice break.

BTW, if you read SS's post carefully, you would see he wasn't attacking you - he was making the point that Congress does focus on things other than Spygate, just like you (and all of us) focus on things other than the Skins.

SmootSmack · 05-08-2008, 10:16 AM

His issues with me seem to run deeper than that (judging by PMs I've gotten). Who knows why? Yeah I've locked a couple of his threads, but they were duplicates/old topics/wrong forums/dumb topics so someone was going to lock them.

He probably knows you're a Hoyas fan...

Thats funny. I just noticed that the post before his was 2/18/08 and when I saw this thread I thought it was because of the new info and not just to attack another poster.

Arlen Specter is doin the right thing when the commish views these 8 tapes and sees cheating he should strip them of the titles and bounce them outta the league for the year or make them get rid of Belicheck.And SPECTER is a STEELERS FAN

titles shouldnt be taken, but asteriks should be added.

Why is Comcast in a big lawsuit with the NFL?

Wrong! It's a billon dollar industry that is suppose to be legit. Do you like paying $80 bucks a least per ticket to see something that is fake? This isn't wrestling...

Ok so they find out that the Pats did cheat. What can they do?

Its called profit margin. They make about 8 cents on every dollar they spend. So if they spent $1 for a gallon of gas in 2000 they made 8 cents now if they spend $2 they make .16 cents. Their profit margin has not changed.
