Rumour that I heard was he made a stupid comment on Twitter regarding one of the sponsors of the show. Only a rumour though.

There will be another opening on the morning show. Think they bring Jay back? https://twitter.com/Jay_Richardson/status/499664139963613185

I'm sure it's to keep the PR for prospects and not hide talent that other teams might be able to use. Similar to the waiver wire In the NHL except the NFL has no minor teams.

That name bar just looks ... amateur

Merged a number of "post game" threads into this one.

PM them to me

Please .... Not the Trivago guy ....

I think Glieberman or Feterik would have to take worst owner in CFL history.

The sad part is that Alex Brink might actually be a better QB to start then Troy Smith.

Wanted to post an early reminder that with the Bomber game being on a Tuesday this week, the deadline to get all of your pickems' in for the week is the Tuesday game. Competition is heating up with quite a few people going 4 / 4 last week. Noeller and Saskbluefan in the lead with 19 correct picks. Cam P, coach17, Logan007, Mike and O2L nipping at their heels with 18 correct picks.

I agreed with what you said up to this part. What qualifications are needed to prove it's not the word of God? How do you prove/disprove a divine power exists? It's not unreasonable to have a healthy skepticism about a God dictating a book to somebody thousands of years ago.You are right. It is just as unreasonable to argue that it isn't then that it is. Which is really the point of that statement. TUP wants to keep going until he can get someone who is religious and believes in the bible to admit that it is flawed and not the actual word of God. I was only representing the counter argument. We live in a society that grants freedom of religion. You are entitled to believe what you want. No one is going to win this debate and change each other's mind. It is a ridiculous argument to be having. And yes I include myself in that statement for continuing to reply.

Let me preface with this statement. I'm not religious at all. Was raised catholic, but certainly not practicing. But I respect people that do The opinion of a lot of people, which a tactic you seem to enjoy using and representing a lot in your posts to try and make your points, really means nothing. A lot of people once thought the Earth was flat. In fact, a more accurate statement is that it is an argument that YOU find amusing or silly or both. You are not the voice for "a lot of people". You are only the voice for yourself. Man up and take responsibility for your thoughts and statements for yourself instead of hiding behind what you perceive to be generally accepted fact. And your second statement about accepting science and logic as equal or over religion as more important is also a personal preference to you. Not fact. I will give credit to Mark and Max in this thread. While you have gone out of your way in this thread to try and stomp on and discredit something that is obviously very important to who they are and their core belief systems, they've done nothing to insult your core beliefs back by calling you silly or stupid or ignorant for what YOU believe. But I guess that is the beauty of attacking those religious beliefs. Because if they are true to their religion, they will "turn the other cheek" and "not throw stones", while if they do come out and attack you as you do them, you can call them hypocrites. Which I suspect is all you are really looking for here. Is to incite and inflame, and get a reaction. You've already declared yourself ignorant on the bible and its messages, so I dare say you aren't qualified to proclaim it is not the word of God. If you can't find fault and argue the words in it, then how could you not understand how people would believe that a divine power would intervene in the writing and translation of it....

A) where did I refer to someone as "damned ignorant"? And if I did (I legit dont recall that) what was the context? You proved my point. because someone would wave the Bible and say "adultery is wrong, punishable by stoning". And someone else could wave the Bible back and say "let he who is without sin, cast the first stone". That was exactly my point. That the Bible is ABSOLUTE in its contradictions and thus CANNOT be used to prove anything with any certainty. It's a guide. Written by flawed men influenced by the politics and culture of their time. Im religious, so you cant point at me and accuse me of being insensitive to someone else's position on this. But Im also a realist. There was already one mentioned in this very thread by someone else. Ill concede immediately that I am not nearly knowledgable enough about the source material to win a debate about specifics with someone who is. But God didnt write the Bible. Man did. I'm curious how you go from making statements with absolute certainty (in caps to emphasize) to admitting that you are not knowledgeable enough to even list any examples?

What? Based on your avatar, I thought you were Mike O'Shea.

That was well done. Enjoyed that, thanks for posting.

I believe they will each be different designs. The black jerseys BC had last year are apparently their version of this release. Who knows why they were released a year early.

At first, when I had half the screen covered and just saw the helmet, thought it was horrible (maybe a knee jerk reaction to bright green) But overall, I actually think I like it as well. Reminds me a bit of the Oregon Ducks

A tough loss, but Odds and Sods is always a great consolation prize! http://morningbigblue.com/community/blog/4/entry-33-odds-and-sods-2014-no7-winnipeg-blue-bombers-vs-saskatchewan-roughriders/

Article on the game: http://inkonindy.com/2014/08/07/final-indianapolis-colts-fall-new-york-jets-13-10/

Pre-season game between the Colts and the Jets last night. Muamba's stat line was 9 tackles (2 assisted) and 1 forced fumble.

On the post game interview Willy sounded pretty dejected and took responsibility for the loss. The one thing I did like was he said he was going to look at the film tonight to correct what went wrong. Small thing but most players say they will watch film the next day. Just the feeling he will learn from this and continue to get better.

Lets be careful on how we proceed on this topic. I'd really prefer to leave this open and allow for the discussion (since that is what message boards are for), but for whatever reason this topic tends to degenerate into calling out other posters and name calling like no other. Keep the discussion on the topic and a debate, and don't make it personal, or the topic will be locked. A few posts have been edited / deleted. Let me know if you have any questions.

Tried to move most of the off topic posts to a new thread: http://morningbigblue.com/community/topic/4717-duck-dynasty-war-and-religion/

Split off a bunch of posts from the new jersey thread.
