Bernanke on Economy
Yes, very poorly. When maintaining the value of the dollar is brought up, I mainly just think about exchange rates which I fail to see the importance of (again, within any realistic range). I think a small level of inflation is good for the economy as it facilitates investment (this might irk you and it's a fundamental disagreement that I don't think will be resolved). Anyone with a mortgage or a small business loan should agree with this. Hyperinflation, as I see it, can only occur with an activist government. I see price stability as being tied to the circulation of money, completely ...

Bernanke on Economy
I don't give a shit about the value of the dollar (unless someone can convince that I should within realistic variations; I don't mind inflation), but I agree that price stability aka velocity of circulation should be the paramount focus of the fed. I think that is all they should be concerned with. I think that is a vital part of the economy that the fed should play a role in. The problem is it/he thinks they can positivity affect the economy in other areas. I have no doubt that Bernake is much smarter and much more knowledgeable about economics than I am, but I very much doubt that he has ...

Truth for the youth. Share some wisdom/life lessons old OT'ers.
I"m sure this is true from your experience, but I believe this is incorrect when its generalized. I have a few friends that are average looking and generally very firendly and polite whom have slept with around 100 women. You could say they treat women wrong because they will later ignore them or cheat on them or just straight up say they won't be monogamous. Still, they are initially very polite and gentamenly. It's just having a good personality and being confident. You can be those things without being obnoxious. I'm 25 so maybe I'm not so qualified. I am drunk so I;m going to get gay and ...

****Official Tim Tebow Jesus's all over the N.Y Sucks Thursday night game thread***
I'd take out all 3 "really"s, but I agree with this. He seems like a cool guy and he legitimately has made irrational and unjustified confidence a positive character trait in himself. I, without any sarcasm, really like that about him. I'm betting the fuck out of the chargers (who are going to lose this week) next week, but I do mildly like him. It would be great if everyone could overlook what I think will be a bad loss like the detroit game.

I'm pretty sure that's first time I've ever seen 3 straight possessions, no turnovers, and 0 yards gained. It was an impressive sequence.

it is fun to watch. I would never stop vomiting if this was my team, though. I have to hand it Tebow, the guy takes light mockery way better than most. these announcers are extremely boring. The Jets better start throwing it more. Their 2 RBs are out and they are going against a very weak pass defense. It's time to open it up a bit.

MLB to add 2 wildcards and Astros move to AL in 2013
Off topic: I heard an interesting idea to combine the leagues DH rules. Starting pitchers don't bat, but once the starter is taken out of the game, the DH is also gone. Or just a blanket no pitchers bat until the the 7th inning.

MLB to add 2 wildcards and Astros move to AL in 2013
yeah, my bad. I read it as adding two more wildcards and not now having 2 wildcards. I still don't like it and would much prefer krs' idea of 2 divisions 2 wildcards. I'm really against adding playoff teams. Also it's going to suck for the 95 win, legitimately great wild card team, to square off against the 87 win, pretty average wild card team that has a sick ace, in a one game series. Whenever they try to create dramatic moments, it never works.

don't see it. They won't have the same success running it against the Jets and there's not going to be the open deep pass with revis and cromartie. I think Jets win big.

it put's less weight on winning the division because there are now 3 other playoff spots you can get instead of just 1.

didn't know we were getting legal with this shit. I meant "innocent" as "not assholes, it sucks that they are getting fired in this made up situation." The lady is a bitch for causing them to get fired.* *I'm going to sleep so I'll just put what, given the flow of this thread, would likely be my next post here: FFS, yes, I understand that them using drugs got them fired. WTF is going on here' people that narc out others for drug use or what they do online or other petty shit are bitches.

Yu Darvish ladies and gentlemen
I don't think there's any chance of it going this high. Unless the team plans to lowball him on the contract, that would mean like a 140 million commitment which would make him the second(') highest paid pitcher ever. Cespedes isn't in the same class as Darvish, though. Cespedes will get like 35 million and Darvish is going to get 100 million with the posting included. Cuba is considered as competitive as single A here and Japan is thought to be somewhere between triple AAA and the majors. Everything I've seen on Darvish makes me think he is going to be great. Dice-k (who hasn't been as bad ...

A message from Dexter
I think they should use a different standard for characters that we know are imaginary vs. those who they are hinting at. They are definitely using some of this shit to make it less conclusive that Gellar is fake. Either way I think a big reason they show Brian doing a bunch of shit in this episode, particularly the killing, is to defend against internet nerd rage when it turns out that Gellar is dead. I do think Gellar is imaginary and I'm going to very disappointed if theirs no payoff on "the whore" telling the cops that she heard two different voices. It's unfortunate for Hanks because ...

Cain Velasquez VS Junior Dos Santos
if you could name a heavyweight that you think has better cardio it would mean something. I, and most others, believe that his is the best and that it is a major advantage he has. this is silly arguing if you are just going to say "only seen it once." this is a weird perception thing I guess. JDS weighed in at 239 and cain at 249. I don't see them as having dramatically different body types where one is the future of the division or anything. You are obviously wrong about double digit fat percentage difference. I mean I and msot of this board are within double digit fat percentages of JDS. ...

Cain Velasquez VS Junior Dos Santos
you can't talk about sample size in MMA. they fight at best 3 times a year. when they are better than their competitors, those fights are often short. I don't understand why you are arguing the cardio claim when you are literally the only person arguing it. The HW division is absolutely the least talented. There are no MMA fans who will argue otherwise. At some point it's possible that guys set to be nfl linemen will instead become HS wrestlers and train MMA. I don't know why you are comparing cain against that hypothetical. Also, cain and JDS have been compared for the past 3 years and its ...

Cain Velasquez VS Junior Dos Santos
it honestly has nothing to do with rogan's commentary (there really shouldn't be any more rogan talk, the fucking boxing shit is better than that). It's just unanimous from the welterweights that train with him to other fighters to, yes, that Kongo fight and his fight with rothwell. There are very very few heavyweights that can push the pace that hard for 3 rounds and its a very reasonable assumption that he could continue to do it for 5 rounds. It's the first or second thing that every fighter brings up when talking about him. His cardio keeps getting mentioned because it is one of his ...

Cain Velasquez VS Junior Dos Santos
I'm not a cain nuthugger at all (fedor nuthugger: check). I don't care who is "soft" or not. I brought it up because there was speculation that he was out of shape for the fight. I don't think it's a factor going forward for him. It's not disputed that he has by far the best cardio in the heavyweight division. If he can do that with 10 lbs of fat on him, that's all the better. in general: literally all of these 240-260 heavyweights could put on 15 lbs of muscle if they wanted to. Cain has said it would make him a worse fighter. Frank Mir put on probably 25 lbs of muscle and is now taking ...
