    Watkins: North Texas' Super Bowl chances getting boost?

    Apparently everyone hated Dallas since the stadium is in the middle of nowhere. They really need light rails or something running out there

    Is there any reason for hope in 2013?

    Garrett has never put up a ton of points or even really had a good offense except when Sparano held his hand. However, I'll play along. 1. Full season of OL working together through TC without injuries (hopefully) 2. Defense isn't a MASH unit 3. Frederick solidifies the middle of the line...

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    Yeah, I saw an article talking about this yesterday. Some interesting/disturbing items in there: The portion about expenditures on direct benefits ($1.33 trillion in 2010), means tested benefits ($758 billion), population based services ($871 billion) and Interest and Other Financial...

    Cowboys tidbits: Why Will Allen makes it

    Eh. They're both scrap heap projects. It is a win if either of them can even make the roster

    Cowboys tidbits: Why Will Allen makes it

    A WR the team signed. He's 25. Hasn't done....anything really but has a nice size/speed ratio. 25. Played at USF

    Obama blames USA for gun violence and drugs in Mexico

    Gun rights are another. Just look at it working here The other thing to consider is not just the President but Congress. I saw a stat a year or so ago about Congressional approval ratings. I don't recall the exact numbers, but it basically said something along the lines of only 30% of the US...

    Cowboys tidbits: Why Will Allen makes it

    I don't know. For what it is costing, I have no issue with Price. Low risk, high reward move (same with Carlton Mitchell who also intrigues me). My concern is that they use that as a justification not to do something. I think Jerry is still hung up on the idea of "progress stoppers" so he is...

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    You provided anecdotal evidence. So, no, I don't believe you provided anything credible. An "insider" standpoint? Because you are Latino, you can definitively speak for all Latinos? LOL Scipio provided data, I agree about that. He didn't provide the data I asked about originally, but he did...

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    It has been modified from the source data. You can certainly go to the federal website and get that data, but I don't think it has the cute red and blue arrows on it. The titles of those arrows are misleading at best. They aren't even comparing the same thing. The red arrow notes...

    New England Vs. Dallas Part 2: 1.5TE Offense Vs. 2TE Offense - Assignments

    I don't expect success from Escobar, at least initially. I don't think Garrett will be able to figure out how to use him. At least not enough to warrant a second round pick

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    You, personally, haven't contributed a single thing of value to the thread, but it is cute that you tried to pretend that you had anything to do with the information Scipio provided. See my post to Scipio on the data. Although the source data may have come from the Bureau of Labor...

    Danny Watkins a cut candidate in Philly

    It just shows how difficult the draft process is. He was a guy that draftniks were raving about prior to the draft.

    New England Vs. Dallas Part 2: 1.5TE Offense Vs. 2TE Offense - Assignments

    Bennett was a moron, but Garrett never had a clue how to use him. I expect the same from Escobar.

    Clabo signing with Phins per Laconforta

    Which is probably why Free is reluctant to take a pay cut. He probably knows they don't have money to go after anyone else and are reluctant to go into the season counting on Parnell. For as bad as Free was last year, he has played well in the past. I just wish they'd sign a vet guard to...

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    Although Scipio provided some interesting information that could be used to further this discussion (unlike you or Metalhead), it didn't really address any of the original points I brought up other than, partially, #3. I also don't think I dismissed it either. I offered further discussion and...

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    I didn't really want to dive into this too much, but yes, I agree. There is a reason we don't actually produce many consumer items in the U.S. anymore. It is too expensive by the time you factor in the actual cost of employing American workers.

    Immigration/Amnesty... Can We Afford It?

    But the chart itself comes from the American Enterprise Institute.....a neoconservative think tank. Which explains the pretty red and blue arrows added to the source data. That is what I was getting at. Sure, all good points and part of what I'm trying to better understand. It is sort of...

    Wasn't he like 26 or something anyway when he came out? I disliked him as a prospect for that reason.

    What is this from? I'd be interested in the source of whatever "FRED" is. It seems to have a certain amount of political implication. I'm certainly not an economist, but I guess my counter would be that an influx of people might stimulate the economy. Those people still need to live, eat...

    You're kind of proving my point here. There is an entire thread without an ounce of actual information, study or analysis. I notice there has been a lot of these posted around here.
