Sadly, I really don't see a blunder in my draft, just didn't have luck on my side. I had the highest opponent scoring average and almost every single week I left a lot of points on the bench despite almost always going with what several fantasy sites experts suggested for starting lineups. I did end up with the most points in my league, but finished 9-8 and lost in the semifinals of the playoffs.

Nolan Ryan's strikeout record, Pete Rose's hits record. Other feats that I don't believe will be surpassed: Boston winning 8 straight NBA titles, and 11 in 13 years, Yankees 26 world series titles. Shortest baseball player ever, whatever his name, there will never be someone shorter.

Oh I agree... I think what you are saying is a different issue altogether. I think things are better for people living in poverty, but we still have a long way to go in the country. I think the issue is people living in poverty and being able to come out of it, not race.

Do you have white friends? Are they oppressing you? Still waiting on an answer or will you just continue to say blacks are oppressed with no concrete evidence to support it.

All I've heard you do is complain with no substance or examples of why. I'm still waiting on your examples of how blacks are oppressed. I know a lot of great black people, I have a lot of black friends, and I will vote for Obama for president. I find it funny how the cops in my town now send black cops to the black neighborhoods, so blacks can't complain about racist cops. Talk about bending over backwards and doing something that shouldn't have to be done.

Please do... open my eyes to the oppression.

Loved that movie, I agree there is some racism going on for every race. I think people just like to complain. As an example, if we were all the same color, Americans would be complaining about the French and vice versa. Each generation of kids will become more and more colorblind. My dad was born in the 50's when blacks were just starting to break into sports and other areas of life. My dad isn't as racist as my grandpa, and I'm not racist at all. I think unless racism is taught in childhood, then kids will eventually not even know what racism is. My dad said he would disown me if I ever dated a black woman. If my kids want to date a black person, I would have absolutely no issue with that.

Explain to me how blacks have it harder cause frankly I just don't see it. A white person growing up with poor parents have it just as hard as a black person with poor parents. A rich black person has it just as easy as a rich white person. There's a couple black people I work with that has the same position as me. They constantly ask me for help on how to do their job yet get paid the same as me. They've shown up late several days a week and call in sick a lot without reprimand. A white person I work with had the flu and was out for a week with a doctor's note and got fired. Please don't bash me, I'm just stating what I've experienced.

There's only been one play all year long that forward progress might have made a difference in the fumbles and that's the Monday night game against Arizona when Edge fumbled. You're right, the Steelers never make an attempt at stripping the ball, get real! The Bears on 3 of the 4 fumbles were from hard hitting. Sure they are taught to strip the ball, this is football, not sissyball. My respect for Steelers fans just went down a notch.

I'd love to be a black person in today's society, they have it made. I'm sick of people saying Blacks are oppressed in our society. As far as I'm concerned Blacks have the upper edge at least in my experience. I've had several bosses that admitted that if they had a white and black person both interview for a job with the same credentials, they would hire the black person cause of equal rights. Some Blacks say they aren't given the same opportunities in education. I guess I don't understand that either. They can go to the same public schools as anyone else. In fact, there's scholarships just for Black people. There are no scholarships just for White people. Black people get so much special treatment that White people do not get. This of course is just in my experience, I haven't been everywhere in the world.

Why are they called African American? Let that die, they are freakin Americans, not African. Their skin color just happens to be dark. White people aren't called European American. Also, what percentage of the players in the NFL are white? What percentage of players in the NBA are white? Does the media or anyone make a big deal about this? no. Hypocritical? yes.

I don't hate the Pats, but would be more entertained watching any of the other 3 teams remaining.

1985 World Series game 6, St. Louis lose cause of the blown call. KC goes on to win the series. Even as an Illinois fan, I felt terrible for Arizona fans. Although that game goes amongst my greatest games of all time. I turned off the tv with about 4 minutes left to play in digust, only to turn it back on a minute later to watch the game finish. Glad I got to see that amazing comeback!

I'd love to see either LT, Manning, Urlacher, or Brees win their first super bowl or at least get to their first super bowl. So that means I don't want to see any combination of NE, Balt, Phi, or Sea.

I guess it's because I'm a Bears fan, but I don't find it boring to watch them play. A defensive showdown in football is still a hell of a lot more exciting than Soccer, Hockey, pitcher's dual in baseball, Tennis, and Golf combined.
