Mission Statement

If the Ivory Tower is the brain of the board, and the Transformers discussion is its heart, then General Discussions is the waste disposal pipe. Or kidney. Or something suitably pulpy and soft, like 4 week old bananas.

Mission Statement

Topic: Schedule Change

To whom it may concern,

I noticed a disturbing thing this weekend while watching football during the NFC championship game.
Apparently everyone decided to take the day off and ruined what was a miraculous season for not only the team, but also all the fans who have been trying to rebuild thier lives and home city. This in itself is not normaly a problem as a Saints fan, as we are used to losing. But it seems like suddenly we decide that "what is good for the boss, is good for me too."

So this is my new idea:

Next season, get rid of Casual Friday.

Yes thats right. Lets get rid of that day and make THAT the "Day of rest". I mean, noone is ever working at 100% that day anyway, right? Take Friday off. Enjoy yourself. Watch some Basketball or Hockey (I know the Angels arent on this time of year.. but thats ok. You can adjust.)

If you can get back to me on this ASAP I would greatly appreciate it.

Yours Truly,
J-

P.S. Can we PLEASE get a solid cornerback in the draft?

P.P.S Congrats Bears. Yall played your asses off!

Yeah, it was a good ride, and still a VERY successful season, which will only be built upon next year. Who knew that the Chicago defense from September would show up?


Screw the Bears, though. Go Colts!

Since I'm originally from Chicago, I guess I'm obligated to cheer for the Bears. But since I've never watched (American) football in my life and reside in a country where nobody's even heard of the team...I'm off the hook.

Once again Im calling BS on "I have never watched American Football". You dont live in a city like Chicago with a rich and storied football tradition and just say "I dont care its stupid" your entire life. Im thinking that as soon as you hit either high school or college you felt the need to be "different and ironic" and thats where that stems from. I see this behavior alot.

Not sayng you dont watch it now. Im saying Im betting ther was a little smooth at some time with a bears jersey running down the street.
