What is worse?  Old ladies yapping gossip about neighbors, or grown men yapping rumors about trades?

By Tangotiger, 01:25 PM

I mean, really, look at all these expected trades, and tracking of gossip.  This is as bad as Jim Cramer making his forecasts, or the weatherman telling you what’s going to happen next week.  It’s like talking about your dreams: it’s not real, and two days later, who the heck remembers their dream?

Manny was right: trading him for Favre would have ended two soap operas.

"Think of this place as something like a college classroom. We’re in charge, we pick the topics, we set the rules, and we try to foster as much intelligent discourse as possible. If this isn't your cup of tea, there are plenty of other sites out there for you to try—we're not going to be for everybody, and we're not going to try to appeal to the masses." —USSM
