It's one of the reasons the CFL is the better game. Less smashing, more speed.

Too bad the quality of the players sucks, them all being rejects who couldn't make it in the NFL.Originally posted by Asher View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

Yes, it's a shame that the NFL poaches all of the talent to play an inferior game. One reason I cannot watch either the NFL or CFL."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."

Four entire football fields... and that was prefaced with an 'only'....
How much land do people ****ing need? You could build dozens of houses on that much land. If you're not growing food, why the hell you got it?

He lives way out in the middle of nowhere, dude. Houses closer to where I live don't usually have more than an acre of land.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

5 acres is nothing. Why, back in the day if you wanted it, you could get 160 acres for just the cost of a wagon and some ammunition to fight off the natives!Comment

No, not really. In rural areas land value is on the order of 5-10 k per acre it's only approximately a $50 k stake."Just puttin on the foil" - Jeff Hanson

Conspicuous consumption
No one needs 6 bathrooms spread over 4 football fields.
Hmm... actually, that would be a bit of a walk if you have to take a leak. I'm starting to understand the need for so many bathrooms... but that need is predicated on house size which itself is unneeded."Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi

That it was part of the Freedman's Bill is a common misconception. What I said was actually wrong. The government didn't promise 40 acres and a mule. It was just briefly what General Sherman was making a point of doing.40 acres and a mule was a practice in 1865 of providing arable land to Black former slaves who became free as Union armies occupied areas of the Confederacy, especially in Sherman's March. Maj. Gen. William T. Sherman's January 16, 1865 Special Field Orders, No. 15[1] provided for the land, and some of the recipients received from the Army mules for use in plowing as well;[2] the combination was widely recognized as providing a sound start for a family farm.
Warren Moon could've made it if people weren't racist thinking he wasn't QB material because he's Black. He went to the NFL in time, however.Originally posted by Docfeelgood View Post"Flutie was better than Kelly, Elway, Esiason and Cunningham." - Ben Kenobi
