1. Nah. The DP is different, in kind, from any other sort of penalty. Imprisonment (and many other crimes) are a matter of degree. I fail to...
Major: Read the ESPN article... I didn't get that out of thin air. Perhaps ESPN is wrong... but this seems a very risky way to trade,...
Of course it's about efficiency. But my problem is that such concerns really should be irrelevant, regardless of how you feel on the issue....
Of course I mean the Roman Republic. And while the idea of Rome did remain powerful in the Byzantine, I would hardly label the Byzantine the...
Desailly declined noticeably last year - Terry should replace him. I expect Terry to be great someday, but probably not next year. Hasselbaink...
I think the CL is wide open. I surely wouldn't make Bayern odds on favorites (though I doubt a repeat of last year is likely). Nobody should...
Interesting that you used the word commodity. Commodity isn't really an idea. But in any event, I have no doubt that Rome "meant something."...
This topic is not meant to start an argument about the death penalty. Rather, it's use as a bargaining chip. The prosecutor in the Petersen case...
While your post is true, I think that the days of cataclysmic collapse of empire might be over. Primarily, the reason is that nations are ideas...
How the hell can you know? Nobody knows anything about Terry Porter as a coach. He's a total wild card. Essentially, the Bucks seem to have...
From what I understand, each team simply released the other and only allowed the other team to claim him? Surely, this circumvention of the...
Deuce nailed it on the head. Posey is definitely worth 4.7m. Posey is not worth another 5m if that's what the luxury tax swing would be. In...
There's no evidence that there's anything such as catcher ERA. Even if there were, Ausmus' hitting has become so atrocious that he'd have to...
Bah. It's impossible to dissemble and pretend that you can go back w/o all the history on your mind. And the original thread certainly didn't...
If I have foresight, I'd probably have to choose Shaq. I still think that, at his very peak, Hakeem was *the* best center I've ever seen....
But they don't want overpriced players on long contracts. They're willing to take expiring contracts if you give them draft picks, too. Mo,...
You know what would have been poetic, ironic, and incredibly satisfying? Rudy staying on one more year, the Jazz finally sucking, Jerry Sloan...
Nice to see a well-pitched game from Redding. From anyone who watched the game, did his pitches *look* as good as the score line? I still...
I'd put us lower than that, actually. The Rockets are really too much of a wild card to rank with any precision. Maybe I'm just risk-averse,...
You know, I voted for Van Gundy without any hesitation. But 3 years ago, I'd have voted for Karl. I think his Sonics teams always...
