So he's saying NT has an easy schedule. The bad part of predicting that is the same adage for the stock market: “Past performance is not an indicator or future results.” Revisit that list in mid-season to see where we are on that.

I studied the Constitution in college. I am in favor of the second amendment and gun ownership. I choose not to own a gun because that is a lot of responsibility. Too many gun owners take this responsibility lightly. Lock up your guns. Take care to make sure they do not fall into the hands of kids. Take measures to avoid accidental shootings like shooting your spouse in the middle of the night when they come in late and are mistaken for an intruder (though I don’t think that happens often, it does happen).

I caught the last part of a sports news show. The question put out there is "which Dallas area based major professional sports team will be the next to win a championship?" The Stars were picked overwhelmingly. The Mavericks are treading water and will be a lot longer before climbing up the mountain. The Rangers are still taking steps backwards from the two World Series appearances. They had nothing positive on the Cowboys chances of a championship any time soon. They didn’t add in FC Dallas into the discussion. I don’t know enough about soccer to know where they are in the discussion.

Agree that the system is broken. That is why the government is stepping in to reform it and give relief to those who need it. Government reform of the system is incentive enough to enact change on your own. The government threatened to take a heavy hand in Major League Baseball and Steroids. Baseball quickly made changes themselves just to keep Government out of it. The writing was on the wall for pharmaceutical companies, hospitals, doctors. They chose not to change the system and they chose poorly. As for states and extending Medicare - that is the option of the ACA. The states with republican governers are electing not to extend Medicare. Those are the states that are having problems.

Nathan Deal - ® Governer of Georgia There is the problem with the Georgia hospital closing. Rick Perry does the same thing in Texas. Refuse to extend the Medicare to make The Affordable Care Act not work properly. They would rather deny decent healthcare to millions in their state in an effort to make the President look weak and the ACA weaker so they can claim the old "I told you so." Another selfish act by the Party of No. Republicans fear the ACA because it will WORK! Even Orrin Hatch (R - Utah) said that if ACA passes, it will suceed and no one will vote Republican for decades.

In that respect everything is "Tax Payer Money." Not to get off of the subject but the Affordable Care Act is a program to reform medical insurance from the totally broken system it is before to one that benefits everyone. If you think that the previous system works better you have not been paying attention or you are blessed without having medical problems. My wife is part of the school district and she pays an arm and a leg for NOTHING for health care. The Affordable Care Act would probably work better for her. It is piracy that the state government cannot get her decent and affordable health care because of politics, stubbornness, and plain stupidity.

I woke up at 3AM to watch runs 3 & 4 this morning. Good job. Just a little short. Amazing that 2 seconds seperates #1 from #12.

I will attend to watch. I loves me some GMG Basketball...that I missed last year.

Bush started the idea of the "Stimulus." Obama followed through on the promise and paid the companies...who in turn took the millions and paid bonuses to incompetant CEOs. Again, a bonus is for doing good work. If your company is losing millions how is that good work? As for the Affordable Care Act, funny how it seems to work really well in states with democratic governors and suck for states with republican governors (like Texas). Free government money to make sure your uninsured are covered. The only reason Rick Perry has not gone through the process is he wants to make Obama appear weak...at the cost of the uninsured in our state.

You missed the point. If the salary and bonus are reasonable you don't have to lay off workers. Incompetance should not be rewarded with a huge salary and huge bonus. That is why they call is a "BONUS." You get extra money for doing a superior job - like not running the company into the ground.

AS for Team USA, is it just me or was the loss to Canada so defalting it carried over to the loss to Finland? In 3 days the US went from "seeing the gold medal in sight" to "watching the medal ceremony from the growd."

And we have a winning streak! 2 games is a streak. QUIT LAUGHING AT ME!

Nope...not far enough

The other part of the layoffs - there is no corresponding reduction in work. The remaining employees have to pickup the work of the ones laid off. Basically each person has to do the work of 4-5 people. Would there be a corresponding increase in pay to go along with that increase in work...no. CEO is the greatest job in America. Run your company into the ground, layoff thousands of workers, lose millions (if not billions) of dollars for the company, get paid millions of dollaars - get multi million dollar bonus.

Saw him at the Texas Jam in 1976. Everything sounded exactly the same.

You have to play a little more often then UNT-SMU have for it to be considered a "rivalry."

Do we take Johnny back if LSU fires him? Not that I am trying to start rumors of LSU bailing on Jones.

There's a 50% chance of winning this game. ECU is not much better than UNT. 2013-2014 MEN'S BASKETBALL SCHEDULE Overall 13-12 Conf. 2-8 Home 7-6 Away 3-6 Neutral 3-0

I don't have video but I would think it is more like falling down a really steep slope of a mountain. You can't stop, you feel every painful bump. With an elevator shaft it is pretty painless if you don't hit anything along the way...till you hit bottom.

3-8 in this calendar year (2014) and a 5 game losing streak. These are the kinds of things that lose fans and cost coaches their jobs.

Definately LOL! Fake JQ kicks ass just like the real JQ!
