Ooookay?  Hold on while I go pull out a Webster's dictionary since it has to be in there to be real?

Forget it Alci, the Raz has spoken!

Forget it Alci, the Raz has spoken!

Well I guess he would be an expert on the subject of this word.  You win, Raz.

Ugh, anyone who left any Belcher paraphernalia there should hung up in the street by their ankles and flogged.

Forget it Alci, the Raz has spoken!

Well I guess he would be an expert on the subject of this word.  You win, Raz.   

In the end, I always win.

I don't think that's really the case, but it's possible that you can come out feeling like a winner, even when you lost.

Actually, when explaining a slang term, it it totally permissible just answer the question in one's own words.  No need to head to a site where anyone can create a definition.

I couldn't have worded it better myself, so it served it's purpose.

Do I hear right that the rightwing nutjobs are now jumping on Bob Costas for his stance on gun control as professed during the game?

It wasn't the appropriate time or place for him to interject his political views.  He may have good taste in MLB teams but he's still a pompous, sanctimonious ass.

BOb was way out of line there.  The only way he could have been more controversial if it he had said something like 'If Belcher's mother had been able to get an abortion this never would have happened.'

The Supreme Court has spoken, gun control is never going to happen in this country.

Everything he said was true.  That doesn't stop idiots from not liking it though.

But isn't that a plus in rightwing circles?

NEW YORK (AP) — Bob Costas' "Sunday Night Football" halftime commentary supporting gun control sparked a Fox News Channel debate Monday on whether NBC should fire him and a Twitter storm involving Ted Nugent, Rosie O'Donnell, Herman Cain and many more.

The NBC sportscaster, who frequently delivers commentary at halftime of the weekly NFL showcase, addressed the weekend's murder-suicide involving Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Jovan Belcher.

Costas said that the shooting has invoked the "mindless sports cliche" that "something like this really puts it all in perspective."

"Please," he said. "Those who need tragedies to continually recalibrate their sense of proportion about sports would seem to have little hope of ever truly achieving perspective."

He then paraphrased and quoted extensively from a piece by Fox Sports columnist Jason Whitlock.

After praising the column, Costas said: "In the coming days, Jovan Belcher's actions and their possible connection to football will be analyzed. Who knows? But here, wrote Jason Whitlock, is what I believe. If Jovan Belcher didn't possess a gun, he and Kasandra Perkins would both be alive today."]/b]
