[quote author=A-40 link=topic=170354.msg3426730#msg3426730 date=1233775916]Yeah i do catch your drift but then that was extreme sweetie[/quote]lol. . . I think it did the job tho

I am not the one doing the comparisons ooh watch PTI and them other shows on ESPN na dem dey do am but you guys should give Big Ben his credit he is not 27 yet but has won two rings and has an 8-2 post-season record abeg give dude his props jare

espn analysts are fair weather, monday morning quarterbacks. The same 'analysts' that were worshipping Romo 6 games into the season were stoning him at the end. Even I can 'call' a game 'after the fact'
Don't get moi wrong, Ben is as tough as they make em' but in my humblest of opines he is not close to Brady or Manning at all at all.

Shuo! Na by Pro-Bowl? Did they not select Papa Brett Favre too i don't even take Pro-Bowl serious because its your regular season performance that matters and to me all that matters are the playoffs

hehe I know sha but at least if you're mentioned in the pro bowl talks it means[b] individually [/b] as a qb you're playing at a high level. No one was complaining why Ben was left out.

I am not saying he is on the same level but i am saying he is getting pretty close to be included in that discussion.Yeah he had some INT's but most of his games ended with game-winning drives conjured by him if you noticed most of the Steelers wins last season where close and hard fought games won in the last quarter of the game

hmm maybe . . . come back with your application when he throws for the most yds, most TDs and fewest INTs and his QB rating is off the chart

Let him win a post-season game first besides what are the chances of them going that far with a puppet like Wade Phillips at the helm of things

that's why I put JV in front of the SB now Romo ain't winning Jack in this life or the next, he does not have the stones necessary. Now he can sure go to Ben to see how he can acquire some

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3426606#msg3426606 date=1233774432]I don't think Utah won 21 straight did they? They got to the Conference Finals that season ooh!! and if not for Ginobili's flip-flopping and atrocious refereeing who knows what could have happened?[/quote]ROTFLOL . . . ah ah give SanAn more credit now we both wish we had a "flip-flopping" player like Ginobili on our teams.

I heard this is the third offer he has been given! dude is really pushing his luck i think he was given a 45 millie for 2 years deal earlier i mean what is wrong with this greedy blodclot? They should get 3 players with that money how good can he possibly be to hold the Dodgers to ransom like that

Well thing is he is the singular reason the Dogders made the playoffs last yr. If they don't bring him back they'd better make darn sure their prospects are worth it.

Haba how can you even compare Big Ben's role to someone like Derek Fisher? This is their starting QB here and not some role player even when he doesn't play fantastic he still manages to grind results the Steelers would not have won their two rings without him as enigmatic as he might be sometimes

Okay maybe its not an exact comparison but you catch my drift 

Be honest do you think Brady would have been capable of that game-winning drive Big Ben concocted on Sunday? besides look at Ben's records now he is not that far behind Brady especially when you look at his post-season winning records and the number of game-winning drives he has had in his career

  are you serious? with the number of clutch, record-setting performances, SB MVP's etc . . . hast thou forgotten so soon the greatest QB season just last yr? Brady is in a league alongside the greatest QB's ever along with Peyton.

Infact eh Big Ben is so great he wasn't even selected for the Pro Bowl . . . 
 
  While Ben has pulled thru some defying moments his is not on the same level at all. The Steelers won many times this season[i] in spite [/i] of his INT's. True he comes thru at the right moments, but one fantastic play does not equal a career of fantastic plays. Pulling off one great play at the end of the SB game does not automatically earn you admittance into the upper room of QB's in history.

hehe    I especially like #9-yr of breakthru, #5-I bind you and #4-the devil is a liar . . . nigerians are 'special' people

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3426499#msg3426499 date=1233772876]Well they are yet to lose at home and i am still scanning that league looking for who would beat those guys on their home-court and lets face it you guys lost at Cleveland and LA as well infact Orlando probably are the ones that have gotten significant road wins at LA and San Antonio[/quote]Holding serve at home while great must be put into perspective . . . wasn't it the Utah Jazz of few seasons ago that had that fantastic home record, only to lose 2nd rd abi semis in the playoffs.
 

My sister its absolute Ludacris!! 25 mil a year for about 4-6 months work damn how long is the MLB season anyway? where does he think he would get a better offer? Probably in the Moon but definitely not in the US i mean 25mil just to bat and run baseline? how much do the troops at Iraq earn in a year? These athletes are obscenely greedy
And yes i am working on getting them all them sports equipment whether you are a boy or girl you must pick one sport that would be my rule ooh

For real especially in the economic climate, if you guaranteed money - you take it! The dogders actually said they could sign 4-5 other players with that 25mill so losing Manny would not be a total bust.

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=170354.msg3426304#msg3426304 date=1233769216]But they rescued it like Eli did against your Pats .[/quote] A-39 you're looking for trouble . . . just enjoy the Stealers, and don't make me remind you of your Cowboys

Tell me that was not the best piece of improvisational play by a QB you have seen in any SB.Lol people have already started comparing Big Ben to Brady ooh! he is one ring shy of catching up with him

Derek Fisher has 3 rings from the Kobe Shaq era . . . does that make him anywhere as good as CP3 with no ring? or Billups with 1 ring?
Big Ben is good but to be Tom Brady you have to be GOOD!

[quote author=A-40 link=topic=148652.msg3426331#msg3426331 date=1233769643]Yeah but you guys cannot afford that sequence especially with the way Cleveland is balling[/quote]Call me crazy but to me Cleveland has not faced a tough schedule yet . . . I need to see convincing road wins against Lakers, Celtics, Magic etc

How he would fit in that team though remains to be seen but he would be better than Anthony Johnson their backup PG! me thinks they should go to Portland they have a lot of guards there

Well I don't think Orlando has the luxury of that doubt, they NEED a PG.

B.T.W: I don't watch baseball but there is this alarming news i am seeing about a certain Manny Ramirez refusing a 25 million dollar one year deal in this harsh economic climes is this guy nuts? can he run on top of water and walk on thin air? I have said it sha my kids must be good at sports

My brotha I tell you . I was watching yesterday and just thinking, 25milla guaranteed and he's doing shakara. I don't think he's been watching the news and the economy, this is not the era of 5yr 100mill for an aging hitter.
My kids already have basketballs, baseball bats, golf clubs and tennis rackets lined up _{I'm going to leave them out of the NFL, after seeing that study on brain damage that's a no no}

Mehn Ray Allen was a killer that was a big time clutch shooting don't worry after winning 14 or so you guys would go on another 4 game losing streak [/quote]That doesn't even sound bad at all, I can live with that comfortably 14-4 will be a better record than 99% of the rest of the league

Orlando need a trade quick-fast Stephon Marbury anyone?

You can say that again brotha. Orlando should be hounding the knicks asap.

Lebron became the youngest to strike 12,000 points yesterday he went past Kobe to break that

and in a few years another star will come along and break his record . . . what a vicious cycle

. . . does anyone think the chargers will trade LT?

Celtics haters abound in here    but we shall keep marching on!

Men the injury bug has been working overtime, Jameer Nelson could be done for the season. It's too bad, I was happy for Orlando and the progress they were making this year.

chiogo:
But we do have some clutch players, damn, I almost had a heart attack. . Lmao jk but I was a bit pissed. Thanks to Ray Allen for that wonderful 3-point, see this man is smart, he missed most of his 3-point shots but he knew when to deliver. That was a big psyche to Iguodala. . .no offense but I love this man(I heard he's Nigerian or whatever) but don't u ever under-estimate my Boston. . .I'll always put on for my city when it comes to my team.

Nigerian - Shmigerian    as long as he ain't wearing Green-white-Green he is the enemy! lol  but men that 3 from Rayray was as clutch as it gets!

duduspace:
I agree with you about the mountain, valley and trial (tribulations generally push people towards religion) but I disagree about the handsome romeo, the fact that you qualified the term Romeo shows yur heart is susceptible to temptation in that regards (why not just romeo or even ugly romeo?),

lol without a doubt brotha, without a doubt, I will not deny that . . . and who on the face of the planet is not susceptible to temptation?  It is by the grace of God almighty that we overcome them.

I'm also of the opinion that sufficient wads of the greenback may also do the trick (not callin you a gold digger but then who doesn't want a little more of the comfort money can bring?) remember, you can always rationalize things by remembering to pay your tithe.

It may for some folks, but not for moi. Money is not now nor has ever been a motivation for me, long as I have my daily bread I'm straight.

I'm definitely not anti-semitic neither am I pro-semitic (that chosen ones attitude can get very annoying and often puts the jews in trouble) but I'm actually with them on this and I was referring to the foolhardiness of the islamic loonies. Don't mind the hypocrite europeans and their peace at all costs mantra, I wonder if France would keep quiet without any millitary action if anyone was lobbing rockets into Paris.

Now you're speaking my language brotha. And you neither being pro or anti semitic is the right position! We should aim to be fair and equal to all peoples. Its just too bad many people are falling for the media bias that always seeks to blame Isreal regardless.

On the whole Nairaland is still quite a benign site as it has no hardcore section (I've scoured and havent found one anyway) but if you could direct me would much appreciate

I'm sure you don't need directions Dudu, as one NLders signature said once "Don't lead me into temptation, I can find it on my own"   

You don't know Alias 4:30? the one and only Chief Zebrudaya of Village headmaster fame (one of the earliest comics in Nigeria) seems you didn't grow up much in Nigeria?
Listened to your track (is that really you leading on the track?) and it was cool (had a lot of Nigerian flava) but the composition wasn't totally original (also helps me understand why you are sold on this religion thing )

Oga I am familiar with Village headmaster . . . but as for specifics and details, I am at a loss  but thanks for schooling me  . And I'm glad you liked the track, I have a knack for taking classics and giving them an urban twist.

Anyone been paying attention to trade rumors? It looks like the Suns are more than willing to put Amare & Shaq on the auction block. And rumors are also coming out of Toronto about Bosh.
Even further speculation that AI could be dealt again this season.

doyin13:
I mean, are you guys still on this Bond v Bourne issue. . . .

The ultimate mark of respect nay awe by Ludlum himself is giving his agent
the same initials as Ian Fleming's. . . .

nah I'd say Bondians are trying desperately to grasp onto straws and seeing connections where none exist 

  But lets speculate that Ludlum did purposely use the JB initials, he probably did so to[b] redeem [/b] the initials from the mud and shame that loose MI6er dragged it thru . . . and he brought about this redemption by creating a doper, realer, superdupa fly kick-ass agent  You wan try? 

wow looks like I missed out on all the fun

that was a fantastic game, full of drama and twists. A-40 I owe you an apology lol it turned out to be a great match-up and your boys barely sqeaked thru.

Now can the 09-10 season begin already?

duduspace:
Nice way to dance out of it, "contradictory position" is different from "contradictory statements" but I can see from your previous post that you are not a fanatic per se, you are very much enroute to become an agnostic when you allow yourself to question your "belief" and realise that it does not necessarily lead to a loss of morality or your firm psychological stability, verily verily I say unto you, you shall soon break out of the matrix of religion.

my dear Dudu, you don't know me at all brotha I'm fervent about God and the bible, I just don't believe in stuffing and screaming and shoving that 'fervence' down the throats of others who may believe otherwise. I allow them to make up their own minds. But don't mistake me for a fence dweller brotha there is no mountain, no valley, no trial, no temptation, no handsome romeo who can shake my belief in God and Jesus Christ.

Your recess is almost over, they have already started and it remains to be seen how long Israel will suffer their foolhardiness.

Art thou anti-semite? Isreal is far from "foolhardiness", if you shoot at me, I will defend myself and shoot you back. There is no country on the planet who will not do what Isreal did.

You are now the one being mischevious, don't you know Nairaland is rated PG-13? or you want Seun to descend on me? All I know is that whether na "hard place" abi na "hard thing" the difference is the same (a la Alias 4:30)

lol . . . you're funny. And NL is very far from "PG-13" just stray outside the religion section . . . and which one be Alias 4:30?

A-40 give it up brotha, there is no[b] juicy story [/b] with this SB
But I do have my eyes on Tomlin making history, and the Wisenhunt thing is also a talking point.

Yup, if only you could see the glint in my eye when I was typing that but I'm sure you do see the contradictory position religion puts people.

lol yeah some religious ppl can put forth 'contradictory statements' . . . no more than our non-religious ppl themselves put forth

But why don't you want to give me a tussle? all my favorite spitfires have suddenly gone coy on me while I was away for exams (even Lady is now more ladylike than any member of the royal family), is it because you've finally gotten out of that F-16 of yours (mind you, Hamas is declaring victory and your recess might be short lived).

Tussles are not my thing boy
& Hamas is and has always been deluded let them try firing rockets at Isreali school buses and hospitals again . . . I don't mind coming outta recess

Haba, what is this stuff about you being between a rock and a hard place? at least try to get on a bed first before doing the wild thing, don't want you cracking any vertebrae. I know most of my friends are of the opinion that I have a vivid imagination but the visions that signature of yours conjure up in my mind do no justice to my perception of you.

Lol this Dudu is really funny
How you take know wetin be the rock and wetin be the hard place? lol now the interesting question should be what your 'vivid imagination' came up with in the first place, right? I already know you're mischevious

duduspace:
Madam Toronto or sorry, is it Boston? flip flopping as usual I see, can you please reconcile the two statements made by you in bold above or don't they seem contradictory to you? If they don't, then you are definitely from Toronto.
Typical of most Theists anyway.

I agree with you wholeheartedly on this with a small caveat that when most people discover during the course of their search that God either does not exist or is not interested in being found, they then end up creating their own Gods. I assure you I've searched for him too but he is no where to be found, he is possibly hiding under your bed and that is an idea you wouldn't find so revolting or offensive if you consider the fact that a man whose favorite pastime was peeping tom behaviour was described as a man after his heart in your "Holy book".
An apt description of the author.

I see someone is still carrying some saltiness from the previous thread huh? I think Tasma and Bindex got the gist of the statements I made, so it seems to me Dudu is up to mischief on this one. You're looking for a tussle and Boston is not going to give you one 

Tasma:
A mature outlook in the topic. Few "Christians" would take the same posture. However the point still stands that its possible that the God you believe in may not be real. I'm talking from a purely psychological point of view.

I agree my dear. But we're hardly talking from the "psychological point of view" are we? I think once you cross over into spiritual matters and intangible things such as faith its a whole different ball game.
  What I mean is my faith in God as based on the bible, does not permit me to entertain the thot that 'the bible could be wrong', cos then the bible tells me that "those who put their hands to the plough and look back are not worthy of the kingdom of God" which basically means you cannot doubt or look back once you decide to follow God.
 
  So while from a psychological point of view I appear absolutely to be an unrepentant idiot who could be wrong,
            from a spiritual and faith-point-of-view, I appear to be an unrepentant follower of the true God

If anyone is well devoted to a faith, follows that faith with dedication and belief he/she is bound to "see" things in his life that he would look on as blessings from his God. What produces this results in the devotees life, the actual existence of his God or the process of being a faithful follower of a doctrine?

I like the way you think Tasma    you're right on again.
However let me add that these ppl 'seeing' things as blessings from God may or may not be right and I still think its not altogether illogical to want to ascribe to a higher power the incredible things that happen to us. Dare I say its in our genes to want to worship or give praise to a higher being or else why would so much of the world be so religious?

Chrisbenogor:
Jesoul long time, how body?

body dey oh my dear Chris happy new year. How have you been?

Can you iterate the steps one has to go through before the personal experience i.e. Read the bible, have faith and so on. Just arrange them in the right order.
Cheers

Well I wouldn't say there's a template, a series of steps you got thru exactly, there is no particular order i.e. to have faith, believe, read the bible etc. It's unique and different with each person as each of our journeys and experiences are different.

- For example a very good friend of mine came to believe in God as he was approached by one of those know-it-all christians one day who told him he was going to hell. My friend got so enraged about this arrogance and this 'God' that he started reading the bible. And as he read it, it became real to him and he believed in God and became a christian.

- And as for me, I had a remarkable experience that imprinted on me that there was a higher power in this world. And when I was taught the story of Jesus and God, it made sense and I believed. And things that happened to me following that decision to believe confirmed to me personally that Jesus was the way to go.

bindex:
If all religious people were like you then we would'nt be having a lot of problems in the world. The problem I have is when so many people around just look at you and decide to hate you just because you disbelieve in something they themselves espouse as facts but can not proof. Its funny because they only possess little or no understanding about that which they strongly espouse.

I hear you oh my brotha. It reeks of arrogance and pride and is NOT the way to go about interacting and speaking with people who hold a different view from us. No christian should be attempting to shove the bible down anyone's throat and subsequently disliking or hating them becos they refuse to accept it. Even when we look at Jesus, he never tried to coerce or convince anyone, He simply spoke, and his listeners either chose to believe it or not. Simple.

bindex:
The bible encourages Christains to search, study and investigate through the pages of the scripture alone. Remember when paul warned people not to believe philosophers and wise men who will tell christains lies and derail them from the faith?

Oga Bindex  I agree 99% with your statement above.
The bible teaches to reject any teaching or philosophy that contradicts and denies the Lordship of Jesus and the character of God as taught in the bible. It doesn't teach to study the bible alone. There are many non-christian philosophers that have lived that have taught and speculated things consistent with the scriptures, and even today.

So it doesn't necessarily mean "not in the bible = reject it"

All religions cannot be right can they? all philosophers cannot be correct about their world view can they? you will accept one teaching and reject another.
And we come right back to the thing I keep harping on: Faith.
Faith that the bible and Jesus is real and confirmation from personal experiences and internal assurances from ones heart and spirit. Now like I said before I cannot prove to you or anyone 'my' faith is the right one, the quest for the knowledge of God is a personal one, and can only be answered personally.

The very fact that you're confused is evidence enough you're not ready to marry her. But then again I don't know the circumstances about ur situation so I offer you Lady's advice, go and pray and God will give you peace (or lack of) about this huge decision.

Tasma:
Well most religions encourage you to believe first and then all things will be made clear. Problem is after the faith few "believers" are ready or willing to question or even investigate the history and basic tenets of their religions.

Christianity does not encourage complacency and blind zombie-like belief. Infact as you read thru the NT we see so many instances were we're taught to study, search out, investigate and to use wisdom before believing anything.

But you are right in that the vast majority of so-called converts never take the time to really understand what it is they're supposedly converting to.
