International I Hate Sports Club

Safety, why do you believe Paterno is "receiving more criticism than he deserves"? (Incidentally, did you know at one point that Paterno had more or less made Sandusky his heir apparent?) Why do you have no comment on the odious attitudes and actions of many of the Penn State fans, which I...

Thanks for not engaging in any name-calling with Safety, Fat Man. We can disagree with one another, even strongly, but still remain civil.

I love your "world's smallest violin." and I thought your "concert" remarks were funny.

No, I don't believe the players should be penalized. None of them were involved in this scandal. But many of the fans have totally disgraced themselves. First, why did the students riot? Did they riot because a pedophile had not been reported to the police, but instead was allowed to roam the campus...

I was away from the PC last week. (When it eventually breaks down, I'll buy a laptop instead of another PC.) I was half a continent away and had only a few minutes to spend online. Otherwise, I would have started this topic much sooner. http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8162972/joe-paterno-true-leg...

Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday to you,
Happy Birthday, dear Silence,
Happy Birthday to you!

It's a shame that you have lied through your teeth in this forum instead of being honest. That makes you even worse than an abusive poster.

(Uh-oh! :( ) But ... but ... but ... :oops: :oops: :oops: I hope I haven't offended you too much. Yes, I will admit I'm not a Ron Paul fan; but you must remember that in the scheme of things, my opinion of Ron Paul doesn't amount to anything. My participation in the political process of this country...

Looks like this story will have a happy ending. :) http://www.kpbs.org/news/2012/may/30/man-exonerated-rape-contacted-six-nfl-teams-two-da/ Man Exonerated Of Rape Contacted By Six NFL Teams In Two Days Wednesday, May 30, 2012 By Claire Trageser Brian Banks, a promising football player who was wrongl...

I agree with recovering_fan. I think it's really neat. Brigan's right. In one of the pictures you really do have a professorial demeanor.

Here's an interesting observation from yours truly: Suppose Fat Man and Fitman's Brother had encountered each other face to face, instead of posting comments in some website's forum -- say, at the Starbucks in El Paso, Texas, where Fat Man set up his telescope for the transit of Venus across the fac...

What the <expletive deleted> do "nfl jerseys cheap" have to do with having a "happy date"? If you're a senior in high school, does this mean going to the prom dressed in an NFL jersey? Fat Man might say that's immodest apparel ... ;) Personally I think this spammer is a slut. :mr...

Wow! :D Congratulations, Fat Man! I'm so delighted that everything went well. I'm sure glad El Paso did not experience rain during this once-in-a-lifetime astronomical event. Thank you very much for your astronomy topics. They're a refreshing departure from all the ugliness that's in the world. Alth...
