from MLB so they should get *something* for their money
Maybe you hadn't noticed but that wasn't a problem that MLB was too concerned
with. Their original plan had 15 per league and there was talk of reducing
the number of games so the day off was probably in their plans.
Puhleeze, Terry. Lamar is first and foremnost an AFLer (as is Al Davis). Even
the younger members of the AFC that belonged to the AFL and whose original
owners aren't around still have that "AFL" feeling. The 75th anniversary
season certainly showed that those feelings were still there.

QB1 is a game.  You make the calls like:  Run left, run right, run

If, you make the correct call, you receive points.  The winner's getz
prizes like QB1 t-shirt or a month of free AOL.  What I like about it,
you can watch the game on TV, while your play QB1 on AOL.  Go to

Write your reply.

assistant: Hi there.  I can't believe that I found another swimmer here.  It's not
exactly a popular sport among kids our age, I'll never figure out why.  Yes
it was a swim meet that I was out of town for, two actually.  The first one
was junior nationals in Vancouver.  I did really well there.  I came second
in the 200 back and I got my senior national qualifying time by over 1/2 a
second (the q.time is 2:10.44 and I went 2:09.85).  And then the next week I
went to San Fransisco for the Far Westerns Champs.  I won both the backstroke
events there, came second in the 200 I.M. and fourth in the 400 free and I.M.
I guess that I don't really like basketball because when I played it a couple
of times in grade nine, I broke my ankle first, then after that healed, i
severly sprained it.  That's the only reason I don't really like the sport.
Well, I've been swimming for five years now in the swim club.(I'm 16 now,
turning 17 in September) I started because I had always liked to swim, and
I thought I might give this a try, just for something different.  Who knews
that one day i would be ranked top ten in the country.
by the way, where do you live?  I've heard of you club and I know most of the
clubs in the province, big or small.
                                               Talk to ya' later

Write your reply.

assistant: Oh, c'mon now, you can do better than that.  My point was, which
you'd have noticed if you'd have read what I wrote, that your
statement of "Next time, think before you speak" or something very
close to that, was out of line.  One unprovoked insult usually
deserves another.  And, quite honestly, yes, you do have the right
to say anything you want.  But, if you demand that right, then you
must extend it to others, so climb right off that high horse.  "I
can say what I want, but you can't" just doesn't fly.
Now, if you want to speak in a somewhat less insulting manner, which
I doubt is possible, judging from every single post I've ever seen
from you, I'll be happy to join in.  If not, feel free to go the
hell away.
Am I supposed to be frightened by that?

assistant: What's up with Kevin Garnett now days?  He turns down a 6-year, $102
million deal.  In the fifth year he would have been making more than anyone
in the NBA, even Shaq.  His crappy agent says they can make up to $22 million
in the market, but let's face it...nobody has $22 million to give him.  The
Suns are about $15 million free, but he wants $22 million.  The Cavs and
Pistons have some free $$$.  The Pistons recently got rid of Otis Thorpe, and
he was making $6 million a year.
  If Jordan doesn't retire, nobody in the league will want anything to do
with Garnett.  So it is time for him to call Timberwolves owner Glen Taylor
and tell him he wants his offer back, and not letting his agent decide for
him.

user: You are replying to Kaye Shen about "Re: Garnett is crazy...".

Write your reply.

assistant: Maybe so, but think of what it will cost to go to a game and get crappy
seats.
  I think that sooner or later he'll re-sign.  His best buddy Stephon Marbury
iis still with the team, and if he doesn't Minnesota will trade him and get
somebody just as good who doesn't cost a $100  million dollars.  Tom
Gugliotta made the All-Star team to and he signed aa 5-year, $27 million
deal.
  Marbury still has a year-left, but the Wolves will pay him big money to
re-sign and he will.
  One more thing...Garnett is better of re-signing anyways, because nobody
else in the league has $22 million a season to pay him.  I couldn't beleive
it when we offered him $17 million a year.  He'll come to his senses.
Besides, just because his agent said he was not going to re-sign, doesn't
mean anything.  No one has actually heard it come out of Garnett's mouth yet.

  I'm right in the middle of taper time.  I get a break for about  3 weeks.
Then it's back to medicine balls anb all that.
  The only reason you've heard about Cuda's is probably Zaine DeWitz.  He's
like the home town hero.  Everyone loves him.  He met Gary Hall Jr. or
something and he was sooo excited he came back and was like flippin' out.
   I am no where near your level.  My main sport is b-ball.  Varsity.  So
that's my claim to fame.  But oh my gosh.  So backstroke is your stroke?  I
have this fear that I'm gonna run into somethin' when I'm swimming back
stroke.  You'd think that after like 8 years of swimming I'd get iver it but
I guess not.  I have a VERY low pain tolerance.  Which is weird huh?
Basketball is kinda a painful sport.  I broke my ankle last year.  I still
have the cast.  I also pulled like every muscle in the book playing 3 on 3
and my swim coach wanted to kill me.   So what else do you do other then jet
all around the country and swim? Any other hobbies.
  Oh the reason I'm so scared of backstroke is 'cause when I was little and I
first started I broke my wrist plowing into the wall.  I wasn't real gifted.
  So in all of your meets have you met someone from the olympics or
something.  Like Tom Dolan or Gary Hall Jr.  I can't spell well enough to
