Bumgardner is a beast! Hopefully the royals can find a way to win the last two games. The last thing I want is to see the giants win another one.

This is what the cowboys were supposed to look like this season. Lucky to not be down more than they are. Of course, if Murray could hold onto the ball we'd probably be up 4, despite how bad we've looked.

I just don't understand the fact that she was selfless enough to risk her life to go help people dying of the virus in Africa, but would then be selfish enough to risk the lives of Americans now that she's back. That said, if the conditions are as terrible as she's making them out to be, that should be remedied.

i've seen folks with HIV go to jail for knowingly transmitting it to an unsuspecting partner.  this is kind of like that.  you know you've been exposed to ebola, but the person you cough on in the grocery store line doesn't.

sure, let her run free.  but make a law that allows you to prosecute her if she refuses to be responsible and then ends up positive for the disease and exposes others to it.

I'd disagree about them being "hefty fines", but I do agree that they shouldn't be able to enforce them. I also feel like those who CHOOSE not to get health insurance but can't afford their treatments should not be treated at hospitals. dying of a simple medical problem because you're too cheap to get insurance? now THAT'S a hefty fine. consequently, healthcare prices would go down, insurance prices would go down, and many people would benefit if hospitals didn't have to perform so many free procedures.

Sounds like Florida presidential election procedures...

they might have a layover somewhere, but there are definitely flights coming to the US from Africa.

one of the reasons it spreads so quickly in Africa is that A) health care workers work under poor conditions, without proper equipment and safety measures, and B) they do not have the proper means to handle and dispose of the bodies, which are more infectious than the person was when they were alive.  Ebola is something that we need to be careful with, but not something that should freeze our country in fear.   All that being said, why are we letting daily flights come in from west Africa to our country?  Give anyone there that wants to come back a week to do so, and then freeze flights into the US from those areas until it's under control over there.  keep those who've flown back under observation for three weeks to ensure there are no unknown cases that are going to pop up and cause a panic, and that should be the end of Ebola in the United States until the next outbreak happens.

Clearly the gunshot residue inside of the wound in his hand is evidence of Ofc. Wilson walking up to Brown while he had his hands raised and shooting him in the hand as a means of racism and oppression.

I like the royals, don't like the giants, so it's a no-brainer who I'm rooting for.  but realistically, I don't care much about this series.  it would be nice to see a low-budget, small-market team win one though.

All hope is not lost.  Texas really should've beaten OU, and OU really should've beaten KSU.  There's no doubt KSU is a much better team than UT, but we have a puncher's chance.

Congrats on having a wife that is not only cool enough to watch the game with you, but interested enough to remember them talking about a kicker's contract. ;)

The boys have looked fantastic since week 2. Even better, two of their next three games are Washington at home and at Jacksonville. Arizona in between those two will be a tough test, but the boys get them at home. The cowboys should probably be at least 8-2 through 10 games, and 9-1 is not out of the realm of possibilities.

They've signed him through 2020. A kicker with a 6-year contract should be pretty happy :)

After a grace period, the Ags are finally being introduced to what the SEC is all about.

he may have offered the lowest bid, but he'd have to work for BISD for probably 30 years at the lowest bid for us to ever break even from all the money he stole the first time.

So the media is definitely being irresponsible by praying off the fear of the uneducated masses. as they usually do. ebola is very serious, but it's incredibly easy to stop from spreading, or would be if they'd done things right with the first case. That being said, why are we still letting people fly to and from West Africa right now? And why would a nurse who's been treating a dying ebola patient for the last couple of weeks be allowed to board a commercial flight this soon after dealing with him, and after another nurse had already been diagnosed? that seems incredibly irresponsible on both the parts of the CDC and the nurse for that to happen. no common sense there. hopefully she was not contagious while on the flight. the one good thing about this disease is that there's an incubation time, and the carrier is not contagious until they exhibit symptoms, so every new case still gives healthcare workers time to isolate and stop the spread of the disease (assuming healthcare workers don't screw up and get it).

And if they're refusing because the person is black?

Not sure. Didn't know he was back on. I deleted and banned a spam account who has posted on this thread. If ECO posted on here, it was deleted before I read the thread.

One nice thing is that the Seahawks are coming in on a short week having played Monday, which is a lot bigger advantage for the Cowboys than anyone who's never played football would imagine. The Seahawks didn't really look all that great against Washington either. By no stretch of the imagination would I pick the cowboys in a life or death bet on this game, but they have a lot more than a fighting chance at it. Hopefully they can pull it off. I'd love to hear the haters' responses. They can't really talk much crap if the boys lose, as they are SUPPOSED to lose.

2nd post made more sense than the first. I almost left it because it was such a fitting follow up post to the article...

Opie was a good guy. His brother is one of my best friends. I hate to see this family having to deal with something like this over something so stupid.

I'll say this. Romo is one of the few qbs that can win a game where he's run out of the pocket constantly, which we can count on happening next game. With our running game and improved defense, i like our chances against the Seahawks a lot more than I did a few weeks ago. But still, I don't give us much more than 20% to win
