[size=14pt]EDIT:
  2011-2012 Season Begins[/size]. GB Packers defending champions. And Patriots future champions 

  We also want to remember our friend Bawomolo. We still miss you brother & though you're not here with us physically, we will share this season with you . . . so far Jay Diva Cutler is looking okay

  Some interesting storylines include
-the perenial bottom feeders the Detriot Lions actually picked to make the playoffs and do well. Matt Stafford is turning out a stud.
-Tony Romo back from injury this season, and if game 1 is an indicator, its going to be a bad season for Dallas fans.
-Colts fans . . . LOL . . . sorry couldn't resist. Peyton Manning out for a while. Now ya'll get a taste of what its like to lose your hall of fame QB for possibly an entire season.
-The dream team in Philly led by Vick. Will they live up to the hype?
   etc etc and many more. Lets go!

[size=14pt] EDIT:[/size]2010-2011 Season Begins
   It's about that time again people.

Rikkygenerator and Binna, una fit come out from crying hibernation since losing the SB. Sorry to re-open some unhealed wounds 

Bawo's last prediction was that we should all watch out for the Diva Prima Donna Jay Cutler . . . any chance you wanna retract that?

And I hope Moonstone, Jaguar and other Saint-ers have landed from the honeymoon because statistics say most defending SB champions do not even make the playoffs in the following season. My NE patriots are of course the exception to the rule 

Brittney Favre un-retired for the 10th time. I hope this Viking season sucks to the high heavens.

A-40's Steelers have a despoiler at the helm. I hope they win no more than 2 games. I can't believe Roger Godell suspended him for only 4 games?  when Pacman got 15 to life for hitting a coupld strip clubs? it's times like these the R-word may be appropriate.

    So NFL fans on NL, where all of una dey?

EDIT: 2009-2010 Season Begins

Year-long Purely Baseless, Emotionally Fueled Predictions 

NY Giants - Don't make the playoffs, they will forever pay for denying the Pats a perfect season

Detroit Lions - *cough cough* Make the playoffs, I'd like that kid Stafford to do well.

Cincy Bengals - For the sake of Chad please please please stop wasting your potential!

Pittsburgh Steelers - Solid all around, very likely to make a run back to the SB

Houston Texans - will continue to stink 

Indianapolis Colts - only a shadow of what they used to be and it will show. I hope they don't smell playoffs

Tennesse Titans - Can they repeat the run from last yr? Hope so

Miami Dolphins - Abeg carry go! there can be only 1 AFC east dominant team and it is not you.

Denver Broncos - I hope (against all sense) that the absence of that spoilt diva at qb will leave them better off

SD Chargers - If not for the stud Philip Rivers I would have assigned them to irrelevance.

GB Packers - Go Rodgers go!!! wipe Bratt Favre out of the memories of Packer fans.

Minnesota Vikings - To put it simply, I hope Bratt breaks his own record for INT's

NO Saints - I dunno . . . I don't think the Reggie Bush experiment will work afterall.

Dallas Cowboys - I am already overcome with laughter, Romo will be exposed even further for the weakling that he is

Philadelphia Eagles - For the sake of saving Vick from lunatic, fanatic, murdering philly fans please succeed!

NE Patriots - simply said "SUPER BOWL CHAMPS 2010!!!" Brady coming off the best qbing season ever will return to form and restore the NE glory. Amen

2008-2009 Season OVER!
Abi I am the only one?
Anyways my season was ruined last sunday approximately 8minutes into the game when Brady suffered a season-ending injury.              Doyin and other haters I'm sure ya'll happy  So I don't have high hopes for the Pats this yr.

Dramatic  things I'D like to see happen during the season:

Jets - Hope Bratt Favre changes his mind & retires mid-season

Cowboys - TO cries on national tv, again; Romo elopes with Jessica simpson to mexico & fumbles another playoff ball and Pacman stays born-again.

Giants -    infact I hope they don't even smell the playoffs!

Dolphins - win more than 1 game

Bengals - Ocho cinco changes his name to something even more ridiculously funny

Eagles - McNabb to play great and earn back the respect he deserves and leave for greener pasture, those ungrateful eagle fans

  I'll save my other wishes for later . . .

Mazaje,
   I know you're better than this.
I understand your anger towards people who've insulted you but you cannot go round the religion board pouring out your anger on other innocent christians/threads.
  If a thread is calling for christian responses/discussion, you don't have to go on it and disrupt it. There are many atheist-themed threads you can partake in or create your own, but please let a christian discussion be. huxleys initial post on the "Bisi" thread really annoyed me, that was below decent but that is typical of his behavior here on Nairaland. A man should learn when to speak and when to hold his tongue. Even though this is just an anonymous forum we must still try our best to be respectful of the people around us, even the people we don't like or agree with.

Siena:
You were advised to stop flying with BA?

I never got that "advice". Was it posted to you?

Actually it was all over mostly the politics section for Nigerians to boycott BA cos of the way they mistreated some Nigerians.

On a serious note, there's no right or wrong, use the airline that offers you the best value / service for your money.
End of.

Amen to that!

huxley,
please for once show some class, respect or at least a tiny bit of decency . The guy is simply asking for prayers for his little sister who is in a serious condition, please if you have nuthin good to say it is not by force to comment on a thread.

darfur:
i was trying to explain something somebody posted wondering why some reporter wasnt able to smile.

i am in the political section b/c i see it as a place matured minds come together to debate current issues. when i see opposing ideas i try to learn from it, get experience from the other side etc not to insult women(except hillary. which is a problem i'll deal with soon)
i believe in God,
i hate abortions too, yes i hate them,
i have no girlfriend, i go to church every week,
i don't agree with homosexuality,
i don't believe in gay pastors (unfortunately the church of england accepts it but i'll still go to church)
i believe in fatherhood and disciplined family units

my only link with the democrat party is their policy on poverty alleviation. if under the republican party there are over 13million children suffering from extreme poverty in the united states you can't expect me to be happy. and the US policies reflect on the global economies especially the UK where i live. you can then imagine how it affects the world, from the iraqi children, to the children in the niger-delta etc.

i am more humanitarian than liberal. biko. chineke egbula gi abeg

The Palin effect is in full force, she's moved the fickle walmart moms over to McCain's side by a whopping 20 points according to latest polls.

hehe, still think Sarah Palin is a mistake? the wrinkled shot-callers in washington & democrats are really shaking now. . .

Please just show me one instance where Alaskans have hailed her as a reformer BEFORE her nomination for VP.

Common now don't be nitpicky, do her citizens call her a game-changer or not? what does whether it is now or when she was a beauty queen have to do with it?

Which means Palin has more of the experience this magnitude of office requires in comparison to McCain. Which means McCain isnt qualified to be president but Palin is?

that's not what I said or implied. Did you see me break it into "executive experience"? no.

I said "overall", speaking of general experience. McCain was a solider and has been in washington - that is "overall" and general experience.
Comparing Palin and Obama's experiences whether in the senate or a gov office is what I was doing. Don't get it twisted now. And I'd take Palin's time in the gov's office over Obama's in the senate. Simple.

Wait . . . a certain Bush had 6 years as governor of Texas (larger than the size of Nigeria, with a population more than 10x the size of Alaska and with more oil money than Palin can ever dream of) . . . what a wonderful experience that was for a man who is widely regarded as one of america's worst presidents.

what does Bush have to do with the current discussion? Obviously Bush is an outlier, experience is never a bad thing to have.
If experience is not such a hot thing to have then why do you belittle Palin for not having much of it? when Obama has even less? I happen to even think that Obama shoulda embraced his inexperience as an advantage and a plus. It means he hasn't gotten his hands soiled by washington politics, it woulda meant he wasn't "politics as usual" and that therefore makes him a perfect agent of "change".

How would u even know if I'm single or not? [/quote]lol . . . it was an "educated" guess. Abi no be true I talk?

davidylan:
That is pure campaign spin. She's considered a maverick and a reformer? On what basis? Please don't tell me about selling planes on eBay again please.

Oga david, both you & Tayo have undertaken that discussion on several other threads, no need for me to reiterate all those points here now abi?

Look its simple, Palin has acquired that reputation as testified by the citizens in her state, people who've lived and worked under her, people who would know say that she has been a game-changer in Alaska. Now whether in your eyes those things she did are 'significant' accomplishments is not the issue. If her history and people say that she is a reformer, then she is.

"experience" here being relative. First the reps said Obama wasnt "experienced" . . . now they picked Palin and they have refined it to mean "executive experience".

Lol, don't look to me to defend republicans . . . I am not one .
I am aware of the tweak to say "executive" experience . . . but that is irrelevant in the big picture. Overall, in my humble opinion, Palin has more of the experience this magnitude of office requires in comparison to Obama. Shikena.

Please can someone tell me why McCain himself is running without any "executive experience"?

oya somebody please answer mr David . . . 

Kobojunkie:
I agree

I agree with me too

oya all the christian singles on this board click away . . .

Kunle, AKO etc . . .

Kobojunkie:
Did he really deviate? I mean He already brings most all necessary experience for the position with him. That gave him opportunity to then pick a VP not on experience. Obama on the other hand HAD to pick someone more experienced consideration he barely has much that he brings with him. If Obama had picked a less experienced person or someone with the same level of experience as he currently has, I am sure this election would have been sealed by now.

Well he kind of did, kind of.
If you're going to criticize the other side for not having experience then you need to make sure your side is bulky in that dept. The vp position while typically just a ceremonial position is still afterall the 1st back-up to the president if he's suddenly out of the picture. It does require someone with a sturdy resume.
  BUT
you're right in that the difference is Palin is NOT running for president, Obama is, so in reality its not really a fair or accurate comparison to compare both. If Palin is not qualified to be a VP, then Obama is even less qualified to be prez. And those who say she's a "heartbeat" away from the presidency are just grasping at straws. If I were given these two options for prez, I'D pick Palin. She's done/accomplished more in her political life than Obama has, and anyone who says otherwise is just being dishonest and deliberately ignorant.

Oga modo, you have come again . . . I thot you said you were leaving NL for good? and never coming back?

hmmm this kin special lovers chocolate wey dey make people win majors . . . which store can I find it? Walmart? abi Lindt? or Shaws?

bawomolo:
u make a good point, hillary was a better choice of VP. how do u explain grandpa's deviation from the "experienced" anthem.

hehe I don't even like grampy Mccain . But its true he did deviate from the experienced platform he's been running on, but he stayed true to himself and his reputation in picking someone who's considered a 'maverick' and a 'reformer' just like himself.

  Plus its a strong argurment that Palin in comparison to Obama has 'more' experience so Mccain musta thot, if Obama being this "thin" on accomplishments/experience can run for pres, then Palin can certainly run for the lesser office.

Uche2nna:
Still berra than picking Hillary which every one saw as a sure bet ticket.

Gotta give it to him, win or lose.

And Biden is also a guy that is touted to be well versed in foreign policies which anyone going into the white house would definitely need. What exactly would Hillary bring to the table as a VP to Obama? That is apart from the ticket.

What Hillary "brings" aside from a sure victory is not really the point. _{The Vp's position is being highly overrated in this election}

 A politician only has 2 jobs:
1. Get elected
2. Stay elected

 Obama is a politician & his primary concern is to win, he shoulda picked Hillary and nobody would know who Sarah Palin is.

Bastage:
It's been known that he is ill for the last few months when he bought in doctors from China.
So well done US Intelligence for telling us something we already know.

LOL. What else is new? remember the SOD press conf. saying the US was under the threat terrorist attack . . . duh!

As for Sarah Palin i don't know too much about her but the Republicans suck thats for sure na only war dey their brain.Economy na 0,Health 0,Education nada

My dear poltics is a dilemma. The democrats stand on moral/societal issues disgust me, the republicans stand on economic/foreign issues annoy me & my wallet.    Palin appears to represent something different, time will tell. Her short resume tells me she's capable of great things . . . including making an excellent hiking/hunting guide 

As for Fed its only a matter of time he would definitely break Sampras's record and Nadal will break it after him

    God forbid such a thing!        No man in capris will hold the greatest record in tennis! no way!

Democrats don't take lessons from their defeats. They keep repeating the same mistakes over and over. I wonder when they going to learn, apparently not in 08 elections.

Look at Bush scorecard for 8yrs, nothing but sorrow and anguish and yet the only success that Democrats had in congressional elections was a marginal 1 in senate. They are a sorry ass! 8yrs of negative results by Republicans and here we are less than 60days to election and Obama is tied with McCain in polls. Howard Dean should be fired.[/quote]Lol . . . Democrats should indeed be strolling all the way to the white house but as you both astutely noted, the Democrats dunno how to win elections. Obama shoulda swallowed his pride and picked Hillary, instead of sweating with McCain, they would both be on a beach in the Carribean right now with Michelle and Bill

Dont tell me you are down with the Republicans

Republicans ke? Both parties stink to the high heavens!
BUT I'm def down with Sarah Palin! . . . we just shot down a huge moose and will be grilling it for dinner.

Murray was just too easy for Fed i would have preferred Nadal because he would have made him work

No way no. I don't want Nadal anywhere near my husband . . . he is his albatross right now. And I don't want anything in the way of him surpassing Sampras as the greatest ever.

I'm predicting at least 4 more majors for Roger . . . who's going to challenge him consistently besides Nadal? He's still playing at an extremely high level for an "old man" in tennis years. Agassi and Sampras were able to squeeze out in their latter years, Federer will do the same.

4 Play:
Does the fact that Sarah Palin has publicly expressed support for contraception have any bearing on some of the more ignorant hogwash being produced here?

Of course not
I have said it already, 99% of Obamaniacs, in their wanton and blind zeal to coronate him prez have chosen to deliberately see nothing good or praiseworthy in Palin . . . small wonder why.

  my husband has his 13th title . . . one more to tie, two more to make history. Too bad Murray wasn't in top shape, excuses might start to fly but Federer woulda still schooled him knee or no knee.

My comment: What was the explanation given by Jesus, concerning his statements as recorded by thos who witnessed his ministry?

1). Why call me good, was his statement of caution to the woman who adulated him so highly! Jesus said further that the Only One who is Good is God, alone! This statement of Jesus is plain and direct enough that there should not be a need for intepretation or contextual reading! Where is the ambiquity in that speech of jesus that we would need more than human mind and understanding to get it?

2). If we examine Mark 12 verse 29, we will see that Jesus was making plain to everyone who wa in his eudience that they and he Jesus have the same Lord and God, who in this case One Lord! For all natural intents and purposes, Jesus personally declared that he is not that Lord and god! Why should anyone need to consult a ghost or spirit to understand this verse?

I can give my christian pundits many more verses to chew on. Each one of them will be point to the same theme; Jesus is no God Almighty Creator Lord!

There is a saying in Boston, that goes this way, "Tell me something I don't know?!" Can anyone?

Alhaji, common now, don't you know you're not fooling anyone on this thread with the above lies?  Pilgrim has said it simply, it is the same bible, words of Paul = words of Jesus, end of story. 

bioye:
Back to the Serena-Jelena match, I was entertained by Jankovic's wry smiles and playful approach but does that show her lack of concentratiton? And the umpire seemed not to favour Jankovic or was it mi? Anyways, all in all, I feel this was a better final than the Serena-Venus Wimbledon final.

You know I thot about that too. There have been great players who've managed to play top notch and also make the game enjoyable for the audience. It wasn't like Serena blew her out, it was a competitive match.

wow . . . Murray breaks Roger at love . . . maybe he'll make it a bit more intresting . . .

wicked good! Federer strolls thru the 1st set . . . 6-2, leads 2-0 in the second.

In a magazine? is she a model or something? I hear banks are the thing now, that everyone works in a bank - well long as it pays the bills
Of course I remember them people . . . wow . . . names I haven't heard in forever. I lost touch with everyone, Toyin & Funmi (remember them abi? 5th floor?) did email me a couple of times after we left but I have not heard from them in years.

Do you know whatever happened to Lanre in 416? I saw him a few months after moving but nothing since then.

Mazaje,
     dude, you're in the Religion forum & you don tire for "God" threads?   This seems to me like a self-inflicted predicament. Brotha, there are lots of other sections that have absolutely nada to do with God, how 'bout you give those a spin?
