So if you've got 1 point on OSU-Fla, then you'll only lose 1 point if you're wrong, and only gain one point if you're right. You are *assigning* the confidence points, not ranking them by your amount of confidence.Brian in Oxfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16053368055698118199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167245063336338112006-12-27T13:44:00.000-05:002006-12-27T13:44:00.000-05:00i think the image of the president of the free wor...<I><BR/>i think the image of the president of the free world getting sacked will be priceless. </I><BR/><BR/>Insert "secret service would be better than the current O-Line" joke here.<BR/><BR/>Although, to be fair, they have gotten better, and have given up much fewer sacks this season.Christian Thomahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16552580025935909875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167244589809857472006-12-27T13:36:00.000-05:002006-12-27T13:36:00.000-05:00i think the image of the president of the free wor...i think the image of the president of the free world getting sacked will be priceless.Sheldizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01198083524704018695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33624629.post-1167244039820145892006-12-27T13:27:00.000-05:002006-12-27T13:27:00.000-05:00Also George W. is a big workout guy (and not in th...Also George W. is a big workout guy (and not in the Bill Clinton "Jogging to McDonald's" way).

Sigh.<BR/> <BR/>I'm onboard with the Simmons' suggestion...let's get bin Laden or the guy from Iran with the unspellable name on these covers and in these commericals, and really test out the strength the these curses while potentially doing the world some good.
