He is well ahead in this year's Nextel Cup without the Chase. With Hendrick Motorsports dominating again (not that I mind), is the Chase really going to benefit from the same teams winning? This is Gordon's 2nd time(2004) he will likely end with the most points with the traditional style. If traditional points still played like in Petty's and Earnhardt's times, the Nextel Cup world would be talking about Gordon tying the 2 legendary drivers with 7 Cup Championships. Anyone else still not a fan of the new Chase points system. I personally am not a fan of the top 12 starting at the same amount of points + win bonuses. The original system where there was a difference between 1st and 2nd sounds more logical still.

Its always amazed me that a player with such a mediocre england record has always kept his popularity.

Cole, Barry, Gerrard and SWP do the business.

SWP is faster, better dribbler and for what its worth, can even hit (in my opinion) a better cross.

For a 'dead ball' specialist, beckham has only ever scored 4 goals for england...

Regardless of his carbon footprint travelling over 6000 miles just for 1 match, i dont understand why people support and at times scream for his inclusion...

I dont even think the other players want him in the squad.

Terry Bowden writes for Yahoo! sports.... "Ohio State, Boston College, Arizona State and Kansas not only will have a difficult time running the table, but could very well lose all or most of their remaining games. I’m not saying they will, but just that they could."

They are all having great seasons, Why not applaud them for where they are instead of justifying why your top picks are nowhere to be seen? Why kill someone else's hopes and dreams to satisfy your own enormous egos?

Didn't they change the computer program this year or last? They used to be pretty good (only one or two spots off the human polls). Now you have stuff like bc jumping 7 spots without playing, ou number 4 or 5 in human polls but 15 in the computer... Give me a break that thing is so wrong it's not even funny.

I'm looking for a good urban commuter bike that's tough, light, fast.

What's the best bang for the buck?

So far I've tried the following:

1.) Trek 7.5 - Nice light fast clean-looking bike. Uncomfortable seat. Very balanced ride.
Trek 7.5 FX
http://www.trekbikes.com/us/en/bikes/2008/bike_path/fx/75fx/

2.) Cannondale Bad Boy - Best looking bike. Kinda slow. Priciest bike of the bunch - out of my budget.
http://www.cannondale.com/bikes/04/ce/model-4MRBB.html

3.) K2 Astral - Very light and fast bike. Not sure how tough it is. The red color sucks.
http://www.k2bikes.com/index.php?brand=K2&series=ROAD&type=FLAT%20BAR%20ROAD&model=ASTRAL%203.0

4.) Specialized Sirrus. - Cool minimal look. Very light. So so ride. Cheapest bike.
http://www.specialized.com/bc/SBCBkModel.jsp?sid=07Sirrus

Between these bikes, I'm leaning towards the Trek 7.5.

Which one of these has the best frame and components?

Are there any other bikes I should try?

last year you could say florida was the best team, the year before that texas was the best team, but regardless of whoever wins this year, will it matter. I know there are a lot of homers here but can anyone say without a doubt that any team is better than the other. will it be apparent to the NCAA that a playoff is needed? everybody here is fighting over which team "had the most respectable loses", it that what determines the two best teams?

Especially when they have only played the Jets (1-6), Chargers (3-3), Bills (2-4), Cincinnati (2-4), Cleveland (3-3), Dallas (6-1) and Miami (0-7). ONE team with a winning record! They play in the AFC East (arguably the worst division in football) and have only 2-3 quality teams left on their schedule. Wow...no wonder why they are so "good".

Murali is a chucker, and along with hard drugs and child pornography, chucking is unacceptable in Australia.

So should Australian Customs keep Murali out of Australia?
