What do you expect to happen? Inherited two wars and an economy headed for a depression. Are you all that delusional?

Puts us in debt, Liberal spending habits...LMFAO What was Clinton then? A far-right conservative because we had a surplus? non-sense.

My entire point is the debt debate is retarded. Bush took us from a surplus to a deficit, so to act like the only person who has spent money is Obama is pure ignorance. And, like I said, he's going to spend money in a depressed economy like the one he 2008. That's part of a liberal's theory when it comes to the economy. By investing in jobs, infrastructure, etc. Obama hoped to 'stimulate' the economy, hence the stimulus plan. So of course there's going to be money spent and debt piled up. I'm not blaming Bush for our deficit at this point. Obama has absolutely contributed to that, I understand that. But, that's what was pretty obvious was going to happen when he was elected. I was never debating that. Lol. I can't continue to argue about this. It's the same thing every time.

Of course it was landmark legislation. 34 million Americans will be able to get health care coverage with Obamacare. Sounds like progressive, landmark legislation to me!

Isn't the national unemployment rate lower than what it is in Christie's conservative led state? The entire debt debate is completely comical. George W. Bush, who was a Republican just to inform you, took us from a surplus to record deficits. So, let's not start that debate. Plus, with the stimulus bill and auto bailout, of course Obama was going to spend money to try to avoid a depression. The economy, despite your delusional mind may want to believe, is absolutely better in 2012 than it was in 2008. It's no where near where I would classify it as 'good.' There are still many families out there struggling, undoubtedly. But no President is going to be able to just snap his fingers and get our economy booming and lower unemployment to 5%. First off, we are a free market economy...the President only has limited influence on the economy. This isn't a communist or socialist state (even though you think Obama is, LOL)...many of our economic problems are not solvable by just who we elect. I don't even understand that Paul Ryan quote...

Chris Christie is nothing but tough talk. He's a fraud. Believe me, I lived in New Jersey for 20 years. My entire life. Just moved three months ago to NC. He's done nothing to strengthen the state. Simply google what Obama has accomplished in office, some you may not care for, or any of it. But Obama HAS done a lot so far in office, many of which was campaigned upon. The Republicans will do anything to discredit Obama and set him up to fail. The facts are Obama has signed landmark Health Care legislation, he helped bring justice to those who were effected by 9/11 (and to all Americans) with the killing of Osama Bin Laden, he ended (or withdrew troops from) the war in Iraq, Prevented a Great Depression with the stimulus. Those are some of his major achievements thus far. 4 more years can bring upon more progressive legislation. Whether you agree or not, it's not really up for debate as far as Obama has 'done nothing.' Here's a little tidbid on your boy Chris Christie...

chris christie is laughable. he brought upon zero change in new jersey. clown city

Just got it. About to play in a half hour or so. Will let ya'll know.

Predict each team's W-L record and their standings...similar to what we do for the NBA each year. NFC East: 1. Giants 10-6 2. Eagles 10-6 3. Cowboys 9-7 4. Redskins 7-9 NFC North: 1. Packers 12-4 2. Bears 11-5 3. Lions 8-8 4. Vikings 5-11 NFC South: 1. Saints 10-6 2. Falcons 9-7 3. Panthers 9-7 4. Buccaneers 5-11 NFC West: 1. 49ers 13-3 2. Rams 9-7 3. Seahawks 7-9 4. Cardinals 2-14 AFC East: 1. Patriots 10-6 2. Bills 9-7 3. Jets 9-7 4. Dolphins 5-11 AFC North: 1. Steelers 10-6 2. Bengals 10-6 3. Ravens 9-7 4. Browns 4-12 AFC South: 1. Texans 10-6 2. Titans 8-8 3. Colts 7-9 4. Jaguars 4-12 AFC West: 1. Broncos 9-7 2. Chargers 9-7 3. Chiefs 8-8 4. Raiders 7-9

Well, of course. I'm sure as you've learned by now, there's going to be plenty of haters and doubters no matter what when it comes to the Heat. The way they were put together and the way the stars went about it, there will be plenty of people always trying to detract credit from Miami.

Anyone picking it up at Midnight? I'm not, just want to hear how it is lol

Still a different situation though... And not everyone thought the Heat wouldn't win year one. Didn't JVG say the Heat would win like, 70 games or something?

Don't see East as complete cakewalk. Knicks and Pacers will probably be better. Don't sleep on Boston, either. Philly with Bynum could be intriguing, and who knows with Brooklyn...

Chemistry can mean a lot of things. If you mean how well the pieces fit together, that's something that is still to be determined, and honestly no Knick fan can argue. The team just simply hasn't played well with Amar'e and Melo on the court at the same time (although, I still maintain the sample size has been rather small since it seems they are constantly in and out of the lineup with injuries) as well as Tyson Chandler. I think as far as ego's and getting along, they all seem to be pretty tight so I don't find that to be an issue if you mean chemistry in that regard. Don't forget some of the role players like Ronnie Brewer and Marcus Camby...what will they get out of those guys? How will Felton play? Will he be the Portland Felton, or the half-season Knicks Felton? So many question marks still. I agree, they should be a top 5 team if they stay healthy and things go right. With Woodson, I don't think coaching is lacking. You can say what you want about D'Antoni, but Woodson seems like a pretty credible coach.

On paper, Lakers are better probably better... But we've yet to see them play together, and with two MAJOR additions, I find it hard to believe they'll be able to put it all together to go all the way in year one. As we saw with the Heat in year one, it's hard to put it all together. Plus, LA will face stiffer competition throughout the West to get to the finals having to play LAC, who I think will be improved, and obviously the Thunder and Spurs. I'm going to say the Heat win again next year. I do think the Lakers will make the Finals though....but I think with how much longer Miami has played together and how relaxed they'll be with the burden of winning a ring off their back, I think that might be the difference maker in an otherwise even series.

lol yeah seriously

Yeah, the guy is getting pretty old now...how long do people expect him to play? lol

I don't see this team being able to win a championship. Not if they had to beat the Heat and then the Lakers (or Thunder) What it's about for the Knicks is winning at least one round, even two. I'd just love to have some fun with this team for once. You have to remember, the Knicks have won just one playoff game in more than a decade. As a fan, I'm not really concerned with them actually winning a title...God forbid Melo and Amar'e got hot, as well as the rest of the cast, and they somehow had a miraclous run, that'd be awesome. But at least for this next season I just want to see them at least win a round, and I'd like to see them get a top 4 seed and home court advantage in the first round. To me, that'd be a successful season.

the Jets are truly clown city...

SMH...Didn't they spend mad money on Flynn?

the replacements don't seem to throw as many flags? i haven't really watched much pre season football though. i hate it lol

Rex. But people really don't like Belichick for the most part outside of Pats fans.

Agreed! Both series are pretty damn sick. I play FIFA a decent amount...NHL I never buy, but my buddies have it so I know it's pretty damn good and has been for a few years. FIFA is so much fun IMO...Love playing people in FIFA! lol

Watched most of the first half tonight. Team looked pretty sharp, man. Wilson was very very impressive...my first time seeing him. Eli looked pretty solid. Defense looked pretty good too. Amukamura is definitely needed at CB right now... Looking forward to Sept 5th
