  2. An amendment goes through the House and Senate first, then if passed by 2/3 majority in both, goes to the states where it needs 3/4 of the states to ratify. The courts have nothing to do with this. The proposed amendment repeals and replaces the 22nd. That said, there's no way this will pass. Personally, I wouldn't vote for it were I a legislator.

    Mr. Baseball RIP

    Another "I thought he already died" moment for me... I liked his autobiography Catcher in the Wry. Full of self-deprecating humor. There was one photo of him sliding into home, and his caption read something like: "Here's me going from 3rd base to home on my teammate's triple...safe on a close play" He's in the front row now. RIP

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    Tell me about it....I usually ended up starting the wrong guys at the other positions. I think I had the biggest differential between optimal points and actual points in my league.

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    I drafted Love and Daniels. I picked up Mayfield, later traded Mayfield, later picked up Nix. Short answer is Daniels, as he started 10 of my 15 games.

    NFL Wild Card Weekend Games

    10 teams, 4 make the playoffs. I finished in a 6 team tie at 9-6 for best record, but wound up in 5th on total points.

    I had both Barkley and Henry on my team this year, and I still missed the playoffs

    I don't think he would've scored on that play. I think he would've been run down from behind. Unless it was a certain yardage that you needed....

    Wash beating Det The Lions are a historically loser franchise. They will find a way to not make the SB. It's not out of the realm of possibility it'll be next weekend.

  22. In 2002, I rode Priest Holmes and Donovan McNabb to a 14-0 regular season. I won my playoff game, and proceeded to lose in the championship by 14 points. All season, I had been bragging to my wife about how great my team was, and I was gonna win it all. When I told her I lost in the final, she just looked at me and said "You suck", and walked away.

    Score another one for the racists

    I don't care what Howard's student makeup is. I just want them to admit based on merit, not skin color. We don't know what the ratio of applicants is. If only 1% of applicants are white, then all else being equal, 1% of students will be white.

    Score another one for the racists

    I say Howard should not base admissions on skin color, and you claim I want more white people at Howard. You say that if Howard shouldn't be allowed to admit based on skin color they'll have to admit more white students, and I say you must think blacks are less intelligent than whites. So...when you take my words and claim I meant something, that's fine. But when I do the same back to you, it's a "strawman". GFY
