How about the reaction to Jack Layton's death? at crying over the death of a politician.

So I assume you're also opposed to public funding going to French Immersion schools.

What a moronic statement.

It's funny in the article it mentions Tebow's reaction to the students not being able to do the "mass tebowing" at school and how he said they should submit to the authority that God has put above them. Which is actually a very Christian principle. But even that is offensive to the writer. Tebow can do no right in some people's eyes.

Was a link on ESPN.com I guess it's a site run by Bill Simmons, frequent ESPN contributor and Boston homer.

I'm pretty surprised more hasn't been made in this thread about Tebow's religious views. It's all the MSM is talking about, his performance is seen as an afterthought. I've never heard him say that God was punishing him for his L's. As for thanking him for the W's that's customary to give God credit for any good fortune you receive. It's not all that crazy, see any award show. I read a column on on www.grantland.com that implies his missionary work in the Philippines sole goal was to supplant Catholicism as the nation's #1 religion. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/7369021/fair-game

I guess if you have the money to buy property in Toronto you probably can "endure" an additional tax. Doesn't mean it's terribly fair. But then again they do see far less when it comes to property taxes.

The Amalgamation of the Toronto Megcity would indicate no. People don't generally lose their jobs in the public sector because they are redundant. And when they do, the person doing the cutting is seen as ruining public service. See Rob Ford.

I'm going to boycott this thread.

Apparently information is so controlled in NK that people don't know what it's like in the outside world so they really have no reason for a revolution. Ignorance is bills?

I'm assuming your initial premise is that people shouldn't get an Xbox when there is PC Gaming. Video Gaming Consoles are a popular and enduring method of playing video games. Xbox just ads being a Media extender to it's resume. A more useless piece of hardware is the Apple TV that does what the Xbox can do sans the video game part.

Or time throughout the week to care enough about each potential statistical category I know you think it's Ad Populum but if these stats were really critical to the outcomes of the game then why aren't they mainstream? A QB rating is complex as Hell but it's widely used when rating a player. For example in Baseball the nerds that invented Fantasy Sports invented WHIP (Walks/Hits Per Inning)

Back to the Thread's topic. Tebow has never been a statistically amazing QB. The stats from the season where he won his second National Title are good but not great. http://www.cfbstats.com/2008/player/235/1001120/index.html He averaged less than 300 yards a game. But anyone who watched the Gators that season would know that his performances in key games were the key to the Gators success.

You must be a baseball fan then. That's a sport that's all about obscure statistics. If that's your thing great. I'm more interested in the strategic elements of football, when to run, when to pass, what types of defenses to use etc.

Steam should be free to sign up for because you use it to pay for/download content. XBL Gold allows you to play video games online in a very user-friendly manner.

It's trying to be an entertainment console not a computer. Xbox Live has, and never will, look like a computer. It actually easily links to computers so you can play your music/videos on the xbox. Why would Microsoft try to make something that would replace a PC.

I have to care about obscure statistical measures that I had never heard about before you pointed it out in this thread to care about football? I think that site being called footballoutsiders.com is an apt name. Not once have I ever heard Mort, Jaws, Jay Glazier, Mel Kiper or any prominent football pundit use DYAR as an important football statistic. The fact that the Chiefs beat the Packers yesterday proved that peering into arbitrary statistics to determine how a team will perform is a largely useless endeavor.

I'd say it as lazy not assume every house has a firearm in it. "Oh look I see there is no registered fire arm at this house, Don't need to worry now"

Exactly, it doesn't help anyone. It just costs money. I love the logic that it helps Cops know if there's a gun in the house before they enter. Shouldn't they always assume that anyway?

Good for them.

at olp1fan. We should invade at Incheon! And we have Red China's word they won't get involved. It looks like his sexual frustration has made him eager to watch WW3 on TV instead of Hockey.

Well the link you provided didn't really explain how you come to a 20 or a 40. Does that measure the defense's rankings at the time they played or overall? A win over the Dolphins in Week one might have looked a lot less impressive in Week 3 than it does now.

The fact that the question was even asked in the first place is pretty offensive. Hey Tim yeah it's Jay Glazier from ProFootballTalk.com Have you had sex yet? As for DYAR or whatever the fuck that is the QB rating thinks that's confusing.

It's going back a few years but he did admit he's a virgin.
