    Another Republican "Man of Faith" In Trouble.

    It never ends with these guys.:mj07: http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/01/16/former.congressman.indicted/index.html (CNN) -- A former congressman has been charged in connection with his work for an Islamic charity accused of funneling money to an Afghan warlord, prosecutors announced Wednesday...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest ...Conference Championships!

    The lord giveth, the loerd taketh away. Bjfinste shot into contention last week, but fell right back out this week with a spectacular -7. Other than his disaster, the group did very well, bringing us just a hair away from 50%. The dog climbed yet another spot, but is now mathematically...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest ...Division Playoffs...

    Same rules as last week. But for the record, ANY submissions after first kickoff on Saturday will be void and scored as -5. Great week overall with the field going 18-12 for +13 points. I decided to drop Woodson from the point standings because all of his automatic negatives were skewing the...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest Wildcard Week

    OK, the regular season ended with some key matchups getting a bit closer. Now the fun begins. Here's a review of the playoff rules: Wildcard and Division Rounds Must select 2 or 3 sides or totals, worth 2 points each. Option of making 1 of these picks worth 3 points. Conference...

    H-K Contest Week 17 (tis the season)

    So the field finished with yet another strong week, going 18-12 overall. Wiseass locked up regular season honors, but will likely choke in the playoffs. Woodson has apparently abandoned the contest, but will still be asked to pay his money when the contest over. :mj23: Mr. Mel continues his...

    So damn tired of Bush's EPA

    H-K Contest Week 16 (Now more than ever!)

    A) Woodson is disgraceful. He has single-handedly accumulated -9 absentee points.:nono: :00x26 B) Muffin Baker and Shazam Fox led the way this week with perfect scores, pushing the field ever so much closer to mediocrity. Go team!:00hour C) Mr. Mel has a lot more company at the foot of...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest Week 15 (nfl network sucks)

    Not enjoying this Thursday crap. It was another overall winning week in the contest. Kramer came back from his no-shows with a vengeance, gaining 4. If not for the damn rules, he'd be contending for 2nd place. Dumbclock continued his rise from the ashes with an impressive 3-0 performance...

    Hippo-Kramer Week 14 ....It's time to recognize...

    ...that the Canadian is laying waste to the competition. 66% is very good. Not quite Mr. Christo good, but definitely at least Kniefl good. ...Comcast Kniefl of course, not DirectTV Kniefl. I mean nobody is Direct TV Kniefl good. Ridiculous for me to even have to explain that. But the rest...

    per request: US Troop Casualty Thread

    Here's a place where we can keep track and honor our soldiers who have died in the Iraq conflict. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/2003/iraq/forces/casualties/2007.11.html This Week: Staff Sgt. Jonathon L. Martin 33 1st Squadron, 32nd Cavalry Regiment, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest Wk 12 (Who Cares about this garbage?)

    I like garbage.:shrug: If you aint from the HK, then you won't understand the HK. We are now entering the Thursday games portion of the season. I suppose it would be a good idea to still allow people to get their picks in before Sunday's kickoffs - unless of course they are using earlier...

    This place is lacking something...

    I'm not sure what it is, but something that used to be amusing isn't here anymore. It's almost as if it was intentionally run out of here. What could it be?:00x32

    Hippo-Kramer Week 11 - "Prepare for glory!"

    Wiseass beginning to break away from the pack. But like Xerxes, he is not immortal! We were born to die defending our homes, our honor, and our avatars. Sometimes I wonder if I am the only one who believes in these convictions. While the rest of you twiddle your thumbs and wait for oracles...

    Hippo-Kramer Week 10 (always be closing)

    One step forward, 2 steps back. Props to Happy Hippo for being the only participant with positive points this week. ...I feel ridiculous congratulating her, however, because she's already congratulated herself multiple times. :hail :hail :hail :hail :hail The rest of us were on the wrong...

    Oil $100 ????

    WTF is happening? Feds lowering rates to try and mask the problems we are facing. All that does is delay the inevitable and depress the value of the dollar. ....Maybe for once we might want to consider taking the difficult road and not worry solely about protecting the wealthy investors...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest Week 9 ..."54-40 or Fight!"

    We cannot allow a Canadian to win this thing. Since none of the rest of you weak Yankees (yes, that includes the mutts) seem willing to take what should be ours, I guess it's up to me to try and chase down the flea-bitten Canuck. Let's do this for AR 182! ...One of the finest Americans of all...

    Hippo-Kramer Week 6 (Stacks of meat)

    The landscape is changing. For the first time, the contest yielded two +4 performances (Wesis and Imfeklhr), but it also provided an amazing FIVE 0-3's. BadtotheBone shamed Mr. Thorogood, Bjfinste's system went down in flames (and I warned him not to pick so early:nono: ), Woodson's constant...

    International Support Jack Day

    Beginning midnight tonight EST and lasting for 24 hours, I encourage everyone who cares a tall about Jack to wear this avatar: It can be found somewhere around page 19 of the avatars. Jack has been paying the price for the Ravens inability to cover point spreads (they are 0-4 ATS), and this...

    Hippo-Kramer Contest Week 5 (Rigged!)

    Only 1 other human could even get positive points this week, but somehow the guy posting the odds and doing the scores managed a perfect score of 4. Coincidence? Not likely. Why did bjfinste opt out of his Cardinals pick at the last second that would have given him a winning week and keep him...
