The NFL logo represents football, not the USA. Changing the logo if Toronto ever gets a team is simply silly.

How did we even get on this topic? haha.

True, but the MLB logo has the same color scheme, as does the NBA. In fact, the NHL is the only one of the 4 major sports that doesn't have the red-white-blue motif.

So, that's what the US flag looks like? I don't think an NFL team in Toronto would have much affect on the CFL. The league is highly popular in Canada and is a very different game from NFL football. From what I am reading, Ontario is already the weakest area of support for the league, so the primary supporters of the league aren't the ones getting an NFL team. The Argonauts and Tiger-Cats might be affected, but I don't think the rest of the league will see a significant loss of fan support.

You mean to tell me she went to all that trouble to legalize it and she didn't have one? I guess it makes sense that the baby would have been born well after the final ruling was handed down. What happened to the baby? Did she keep it? Did she give it up for adoption? Either way, she faced an unwanted child and tried to have an abortion. She may not know what it's like to actually have one, but she certainly knows what it is like to be in that situation.

Just look at Norma L. McCorvey, better known as Jane Roe from the famous Roe v. Wade case that banned laws against abortion in the United States. She lied about being raped to help overturn anti-abortion laws and ended up making abortion a legal practice in all US states. Since then, McCorvery has become an ardent pro-life supported and has made attempts to reopen her Supreme Court case. She's been there. She knows what its like.

Your post wasn't there yet when I initially went to post the smiley. I was applauding ATHLÉTIQUE.CANADIEN's post. What kind of sick bastard do you think I am? Though, I will admit, that comment made me giggle a little. You make it sound like you know what it is like. (Note: If you have been, then I am obviously in the wrong for saying that and I apologize). In response to your post, there are obviously some circumstances that challenge any law. Would I accept an abortion in such a case? I don't know. It's like so many ethical dilemma's you see in a typcial college ethics class. Can a woman who is a prisoner of war sleep with a guard if he lets her escape to go back and take care of her children? Is it ok to take a cyanide pill so that you don't give up any information if captured? It's one of those cases where it is impossible to come up with an answer that the majority will agree with.

Totally different situations. Berard's game is all about his shot on the PP. He has always been an average defender with a great shot. That's what he's always been. Saku Koivu's game relies solely on his vision. He is a playmaker. He has to be able to see the whole ice in order for him to be successful. You can't play center in the NHL if you can only see your right wing and not your left wing (Might be the other way around, don't remember off-hand which eye was injured). If Koivu does not regain his peripheral vision, he will either have to become a winger or retire. A center with one eye is no good to anybody.

ATHLÉTIQUE.CANADIEN's post.

Interesting, since we still have troops there and people dying over there. It's simple, and yes, it is a religious issue. The people who are attacking the West are Islamic extremists who believe it is their duty to Allah to kill Western infidels. Let's see here: A woman who has an abortion will wonder "What if I hadn't killed my baby"? The woman who gives her baby up for adoption will wonder "What if I hadn't given my baby up to a family who could provide the love and environment that I knew I could not have done?" Sure, both women will likely regret their decision, but at least the woman who chose adoption doesn't have to live with ending the life of her unborn baby. You talk about the human right of the mother to consider all her options. An aborted fetus never got to consider any of its options before being killed.

He has no say in the matter. He very likely would hate going to NJ, but there's nothing he can do about it if he were traded there.

First of all, it won't pass because it is too broad. Second, abortion is an issue split pretty much right down the middle, so it won't be able to get enough of a majority to pass more than lifely. Third, saying it will not pass because it isn't tough enough is asinine. Anyone with a brain in their head would pass this bill if they agreed with it, even if they want it to be tougher. It's common sense to pass this bill now to prevent a lot of what they want to eliminate in terms of abortion, while waiting till later to try to add on to the bill. I'm not saying I want to solve the Middle East's problems. I'm saying the way to defeat terrorists is to make them outcasts in their own group. Stopping the terrorists won't solve all the problems of the Middle East, but it will make it so that their problems aren't influencing people to kill Western infidels. Where did this topic come from?

And talking to fanatics will solve problems? I don't think so. Fanatics don't listen to reason. They kill people. The only way to defeat them is to make them unwelcome in their own countries and make them outcasts in their society. As long as fanatics are in power in the Middle East, the fanatics will not stop resorting to terrorist activities. If you don't want the baby, give it up for adoption. There are many families eager to adopt children, many would be willing to go as far as paying for the delivery of the child. Having an abortion doesn't solve any personal problems. A high percentage of women later regret having an abortion, and some sources say as high as 20% of women go into some degree of clinical depression after an abortion. It is sick that killing innocent, human life is legal. Did you even read this bill? It doesn't seek to ban all contraceptives. It only prohibits those contraceptives, such as the morning after pill, that results in the loss of a potentially impregnated egg. It doesn't ban such contraceptive measures like act to prevent conception.

Taking Streit's place on the 3rd pairing once he returns from his injury, which is likely to keep him out for at least the first month of the season.

1. Abortion is a horrible thing. If you don't think so, go look at pictures of aborted babies. If you're worried about an excessive birth rate, then tell people to keep it in their pants. This would also decrease the spread of AIDs and other STDs. 2. Yeah, conservatives are trying to make a state religion. Get a grip on reality. Many conservatives do push Christian values, but they aren't trying to make Christianity the legally endorsed religion. That is just silly. 3. How else to you propose to win the war on terror? I just saw an interview with Clinton's secretary of defense, and he agreed completely. The best way to take down terrorism is to take down the radical governments in the Middle East and make the radicals enemies in their own countries. They are radicals, they will only stop attacking if their own people in their own countries start standing against those who are twisting their holy text into guidebook for murder. Speaking of the Middle East, Iran's president has lost his mind. He is starting to sound like Hitler. Publicly saying he wants to kill all the Jews in Israel is exactly why the UN has to grow a pair and stand up to Iran. They are breaking the rules set forth on them by the UN, they had better do something about it. If they ignore Iran's defiance, then the UN is officially a worthless institution that does nothing for the world. Name calling goes both ways. Just because you don't do it, that doesn't mean others with your beliefs don't do so.

Who won?

No roster update for Madden. Screw EA once again. And when I tried to sign in to send them a complaint, the URL it automatically gets directed to is no longer in service. How nice.

An excellent young man who thought it would be a good idea to get behind the wheel of a car while drunk. :puke: Seriously, DUI arrests are taken so lightly that it sickens me. Automobiles are deadly weapons when sober, even moreso when the driver is drunk. It is asinine that people get slapped on the wrist for their first DUI.

Locke will be the top center, as they won't want a rookie AHLer centering the top line, even a former 1st rounder. Locke has earned that spot, as he led the team in scoring last season.

Yup, they don't sell booze in Montreal.

Way to stereotype half of the United States, that is very kind of you. I am an American who votes primarily Republican, so you are assuming I hate Canada. I guess that's why I root for the Habs. The Congressman who "blasted Canada" was simply trying to send a message. It's just like the senator who started a vote to reinstate the draft just to prove a point. He was trying to open eyes with his statements, because he feels Canada needs to tighten anti-terrorism laws. Canada is as much a target as the US, as the country is an ally and trading partner to the US, as well as being a Western, non-Muslim country. And when the Canadian prime minister is saying that he can ""live with all these threats as long as they're not from my caucus," doesn't exactly show that Canada is worried about terrorism. I'm no expert on Canadian law, but you are directly adjacent to the US, so any terrorists who work in Canada are within striking distance of the US. It doesn't help that there are groups in Canada who harbor deserters and help them apply for asylum in the country. Under Canadian law, from what I understand, a person may only be granted asylum if they are able to prove they will be persecuted and killed in their home country. According to the United States Code Military Justice, a deserter during an undeclared war, as the Iraq war is, cannot face the death penalty. Despite this, the first known deserter of the Iraq war to flee to Canada, Jeremy Hinzman, has been in Canada for two years and has still not been sent back to the states. After over a year and a half his petition was finally denied, but he is now in the appeals process. These soldiers signed up for the military, so they knew there was a chance they would see action. They knew there was a chance they could be asked to fight in a war they didn't like. If they didn't want to face that decision, then they should not have signed up. By the way, it was Republican John Ashcroft, who was appointed by Republican George Bush, who headed the committee that disproved the hi-jackers came in across the Canadian border. And Pierre, I am a little baffled by your assessment of that treaty. All it says is that the Pakistanis won't attack if the militant don't attack, and vice versa. The militants also agreed to stay where they are and not harbor foreign militants. Well, Osama is a foreign militant, so if the Pakitanis get wind of him being there, they have just cause to go after him, since the militants broke the treaty. The treaty will hamper the effort, I am sure, but it isn't a given that it means Osama will never be found.

Ugh, that league looks like a joke. Zherdev not in the game? Rick Nash an 18 year old in 2011? Aaron Johnson with 27 POT and 12 CON? Kostitsyn in the 2011 draft? No Ovechkin? No Crosby? There are more fake players than real players in that league.

EA disappoints once again, probably. 8:27 PM and the scheduled roster update for September 5th is still not uploaded.
