no force

I'm just easily amused

I wasn't referring to you.

I can be funny, but that comment wasn't that funny.

I guess you missed it, but you offered the analogy. And I offered that scenario because it more appropriately fits the Spygate situation.

You offered a big bag full of hot air.

Goodell had specifically told the Pats and all other teams that such videotaping was illegal. Hence, that point of my analogy.

Yes. My analogy was tremendous. It went from being an analogy that deserved a response to one where you now are rationalizing the disclaimer below that the analogy I used isn't really real world applicable.

You sure are chock full of contradictions.

Of course, I don't know very many teachers that "find" answers in their student's pockets, especially in this day and age when teachers are careful about any improper contact with students that can be misconstrued.

I don't find many football organizations video taping other team's signals, creating a library of them, and then using them real time to help them win games either.

But I guess that "ridiculous" observation escaped you as well.

Not at all. Your ridiculous observations don't escape me.

Believe me, from you, I take that as the highest compliment.

I'm surprised you even understand the word "obfuscate". Is that a $5 dollar word like "vacuous", or possibly a $10 dollar word like "discombobulated"?

 

[FuzzyLumpkins]

the argument is horrible. The only condition in any era that a teacher would punish a student in that situation is when the answers correspond in some manner with specific test questions in such a way that it is obvious they had a copy of thest.

If that was not the case then it would be called a study sheet and that would be that. No teacher on the planet is ever going to say dont ever take a study sheet into my classroom.

 

[superpunk]

Requesting a lock.

 

[ajk23az]

As far as I can tell no laws were broken. How exactly is this feds business?

If you feel that way, why is the feds business for the steroids in baseball?

 

[ajk23az]

iTS PERFECTLT LEGAL TO TAPE SIGNALS FROM THE PRESS BOX.

With zoom technology really kinda stupid Pats felt a need to bring a camera on the field. Jimmy Johnson said he did it but quit because it didn't work.

Apparantly BB and his genius friend were smart enough to "count" signals. Kudo's

Shula even said he would have been embarassed if he was so stupid as to get his signals stolen.

Its now 18-0 without "spygate". Whats up with that?

Spoken like a TRUE CHEATRIOTS FAN!!! :laugh2:

 

[tyke1doe]

You offered a big bag full of hot air.

Well, you would know about hot air, that's for sure.

Yes. My analogy was tremendous. It went from being an analogy that deserved a response to one where you now are rationalizing the disclaimer below that the analogy I used isn't really real world applicable.

Huh? Do you even know what you just typed?

You sure are chock full of contradictions.

Yes, your familiarity with contradictions is apparent also.

I don't find many football organizations video taping other team's signals, creating a library of them, and then using them real time to help them win games either.

Well, you're not very familiar with football. Video taping isn't prohibited. It's just video taping from the sidelines during the game. If you video tape from the booth, then that's okay. You don't think that's not being done?

Not at all. Your ridiculous observations don't escape me.

But logic, context and application certainly do.

I'm surprised you even understand the word "obfuscate". Is that a $5 dollar word like "vacuous", or possibly a $10 dollar word like "discombobulated"?

You'd be surprise all the delicious words one can find in the ... dictionary.

But is this the substance of your argument? Deviating from the topic at hand to something you're more comfortable with?

Nothing like a well-placed :laugh2:

 

[SultanOfSix]

Well, you would know about hot air, that's for sure.

But, not as much as the one who produces it, like yourself.

Huh? Do you even know what you just typed?

Yes, I do. Do you?

Yes, your familiarity with contradictions is apparent also.

Not as much as your familiarity with producing them.

Well, you're not very familiar with football. Video taping isn't prohibited. It's just video taping from the sidelines during the game. If you video tape from the booth, then that's okay. You don't think that's not being done?

I'm sorry. You must have thought I was referring to video taping from the booth. Thanks for clarifying, as if this had anything at all to do with what I said.

But logic, context and application certainly do.

How the hell would you know?

You'd be surprise all the delicious words one can find in the ... dictionary.

Is that a hobby of yours? Looking up words you don't know when someone uses them, and then attaching a dollar amount to them?

But is this the substance of your argument? Deviating from the topic at hand to something you're more comfortable with?

No. That's your job. Afterall, you're the greatest obfuscator I've ever seen.

Nothing like a well-placed :laugh2:

Apparently so. You use them about five times as much as anyone else.

 

[tyke1doe]

Edited for lunacy

We're back to the "you're a doodey head, no you're a doodey head" stage of debate.

I think you like that better than I, so I'll leave you here while I address the topic of discussion.

 

[SultanOfSix]

Asinine "arguments" deleted due to obfuscation and Pats homerism.

Then next time don't respond to a post of mine and turn into your own invented argument that you respond to in a post that is four times my post's length.

 

[tyke1doe]

If you feel that way, why is the feds business for the steroids in baseball?

What was the purpose of this congressional hearing?
Robert White, a spokesman for Congressman Davis, told CBC Sports Online that Thursday's hearing serves as an investigative review of Major League Baseball's recently instituted drug-testing policy. White also explained the hearings give Congress "a chance to shine some light on what it thinks is an important public health issue."

"The use of steroids has become a public health crisis. Half a million kids a year in the U.S. are taking steroids … and many of them do this because they are emulating their sports heroes," said White. "So we thought this was an opportunity to look at [baseball's] policy, compare it to some other league's policies and see if it's adequate and get a sense of what steps baseball is taking or has taken to eradicate steroids from the game."

What is baseball's policy on drug testing?
Major League Baseball's steroid testing program was criticized in past years as being too lenient, but a new testing plan introduced this year calls for tougher penalties. A first-time offender will be suspended for 10 days. Second-time offenders will be suspended for 30 days. Third-time offenders will be suspended for 60 days. Fourth-time offenders will be suspended for one year. All suspensions are without pay.

Under the new plan, every player will undergo at least one unannounced test on a randomly selected date during the playing season. There is no specific limit on the number of tests to which any player may randomly be subjected, and players are subject to random testing during the off-season.

Apparently, Congress got involved in the dispute under the "guise" of steroids being a public health issue. And Congress has full authority to investigate matters that may compromise the general public health of the nation.

Its goal, also, was to make sure that baseball adopts tougher penalties to prevent steroid use.

I really don't see the comparison between the Pats situation and the steroid issue.

The Pats situation isn't a public health issue.

The Pats issue was singular to the franchise; the steroid issue is broader an impacts baseball at large.

Goodell has punished the Patriots; baseball has not taken sufficient action against players suspected of steroid use.

I really don't see the similarities between either situation.

 

[tyke1doe]

Then next time don't respond to a post of mine and turn into and invented argument that you respond to that is four times its length.

What can I say. I'm thorough in my rebuttals. My arguments aren't elementary or simple-minded in nature.

 

[Bob Sacamano]

we're going tit-for-tat, get out the gats, now we're going click-for-clack, I know this **** is wack, but I'm white, so take a hike, before I stick a 4-inch spiked heel, up your rear

yeehaw

 

[SultanOfSix]

You're thorough in obfuscation. Your arguments are strawmans that you rebutt with more obfuscation and convoluted nonsense to confound the issue.

 

[tyke1doe]

yyyeeehhhaawww!

 

[Bob Sacamano]

you like my rap, it was wack, but I get down like that, w/ all the people in the back saying hell yeah

 

[tyke1doe]

yeehaw is about all you're going to get from me.

Specter is a fool.
Let us also remember that in 2005 he was yammering about how the Eagles' handled the T.O. non-playing and his leaving. Then he backed off. Showboat.

Senator backs off threat of probe of T.O. issues
Senate Judiciary Committee doesn't have time, Specter saysHaraz N. Ghanbari
Nov. 29, 2005
PHILADELPHIA - Sen. Arlen Specter backed off a threat to have a Senate subcommittee investigate whether the NFL and the Philadelphia Eagles violated antitrust laws in their handling of Terrell Owens.

Specter, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, said Tuesday that he talked to lawyers in the Department of Justice about the issue.

“I think it’s more a matter for them than us because we’ve got ... a lot of matters which take precedence over this for our own time,” said Specter, R-Pa.
