I knew you wouldn't have a problem with the intrusion. :thumbdown: Go drink some drano.
How is it "intrusion" for MLB to set its own guidelines?

Drano is actually an aphrodisiac. Most people don't know that (Seriously, look it up). And there is a good percentage of alcohol in it, so don't be drinking and driving, Jay.

If Congress is so keen on this idea, why doesn't that ass clown Waxman try to institute this rule in...oh, I don't know...Congress? Why not introduce legislation that forces the president to not smoke. What a joke? I know they're not smoking or chewing while on the floor of the House or Senate (or on tv for the president), but it's known that Obama smokes, and many members of Congress enjoy a quality stogie...so, he needs to clean up his own group first, or STFU.

I think JayJ79 stated that Congress shouldn't get involved with the issue. :thumb:

I understand that, and I agree. :thumb: I didn't dispute his claim that "Congress getting involved in the matter was dumb." The intent of my post was to continue his statement further, to "piggy-back" it, if you will.

Yeah. It's crazy, but not surprising. Kind of like Buzz leaving, again. :ohno:

Yup, the President of the Michael Jordan Ass Kissing Club is jumping ship (again) and heading to UNC-W. Glad to hear he kept his word when he said he wanted to build a lasting program like Jerry Moore has at ASU. What a prick.

I usually wish coaches well when they move on. This time I'm wishing UNC-W good luck and Buzz good riddance. :thumbdown:
