Fun with Quotes
Commenting on OSU's loss to NWU last Saturday, Zwick said, "It's something that's going to happen and it's something you have to learn from. That's life. You're not going to be perfect all the time."
My response: Not perfect all the time? Let's see you be perfect some of the time, Zwick. Then we can talk about all the time.
Canadian Sub Adrift after Fire. (Yes, Canada has submarines. And a navy. I was surprised too.) Canadian Defense Minister Bill Graham remarks, "Other ships have had fires in the past and no doubt there will be fires on board ships in the future -- this is something that our professional mariners are capable of managing ... There are risks in being in our Navy."
My response: So the risks of being in the Canadian navy are dealing with fires on submarines. Not the dangers of any type of armed conflict. Gotcha.

You are one cynical bastard. You think law school is tough, I would suggest this before you start throwing rocks from your ice-dancer glass house:
1. Lets see you throw a football 40 yards. Ok, lets see you throw a football 10 yards. Head on over to the Notre Dame stadium, break in all Rudy-style, and practice for a while, then add 100,000 screaming fans and 12 other guys trying to kill you, then we'll talk again.
2. Lets see you light a submarine on fire. Er, wait... Lets see you put out a fire on a boat surrounded my thousands of cubic miles of water...er, wait... whatever. Head on up to the the great Canadian white wilderness, eat some bacon and make fun of some Mounties, jump on a little metal sinking death tube full of bombs and torpedoes and nuke-clear warheads, light the sub on fire, refuse to fight any global wars for like the past 50 years, then we'll talk again.
What you got to say that Sassy Mc-Sassy Pants?
BTW, has everyone else found how great it is to make fun of someone by combining an attribute of their most recent behavior with the name Blank Mc-Blank Pants. For explame, Happy Mc-Happy Pants or Crazy Mc-Crazy Pants. Try this the next time someone is making an ass of themself. It's great. For example, right now I could be called Hilarious Mc-Hilarious Pants. See?
As far as Canada goes, well, they're Canadians. What all do you really expect from them?
As for Zwick, I'm going to have to side with Alex on this. The kid needs to get his crap together if he wants to be able to make comments like that. And I can say that, because I know that I could throw a football at least 20-30 yards.
First, back to the Canadian navy. By no means did I mean to downplay the danger of a fire on a submarine. It may be the second worst thing to occur on a sub, after mutiny. The sub in Crimson Tide (great movie, btw) experienced both.
As to Zwick... I'm not claiming that I could personally do a better job. But the kid's getting paid to play football at Ohio State. He should be held to a higher standard and from what we've seen from him so far, he has no right talking about being anything close to perfect.
