Things that don't suck

[tballa55]

More than 10 years after being robbed of his college football dreams, Brian Banks is getting his shot at the NFL.

The former prep star from Long Beach, who was recently exonerated in a 2002 rape case, will try out for the Seattle Seahawks on June 7, the team confirmed to The Associated Press.

“THIS is what I’ve been waiting for!” he tweeted Wednesday night. “If you thought my story was crazy, it’s get crazier.”

Banks, 26, made national news earlier this month when prosecutors officially moved to drop charges against him after his accuser admitted she fabricated her claims.

He had served five years and two months in jail after a lawyer advised him to plead no contest to the charges, warning him a jury conviction could result in a lifetime behind bars.

After being released from jail, his accuser contacted him over Facebook and admitted she fabricated her claims.

The Washington Redskins, Kansas City Chiefs and Miami Dolphins have also called Banks for a tryout, but a first chance with the Seahawks may be the most symbolic for the linebacker.

Banks had verbally committed to USC when he was accused of rape. The Trojans’ coach at the time was Pete Carroll, who left the university to coach the Seahawks in 2010.

Getting out @ 2:00 p.m. every Friday until Labor Day doesn't suck.

Killing this prick doesn't suck, and I like how he frequently travelled between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

KABUL, Afghanistan -- The second highest al-Qaida leader in Afghanistan was killed in a weekend airstrike in the country's volatile east near the border with Pakistan, NATO-led forces said on Tuesday.
Saudi Sakhr al-Taifi, also known as Musthaq and Nasim, was responsible for commanding foreign insurgents and directing attacks against coalition and Afghan forces, NATO said in a statement.
He frequently traveled between Afghanistan and Pakistan, carrying out commands from senior al-Qaida leadership, supplying weapons and equipment to insurgents and transporting insurgent fighters into Afghanistan, the statement said.

Last week it was #2 in Afghanistan, this week #2 overall. Not a good week for al quada dueces. Fuck you Abu Yahoo al-loser!!!!
Drone on motherfucker.

(CNN) -- Abu Yahya al-Libi, the No. 2 man in al Qaeda and a longtime public face of the terror network, is dead, White House spokesman Jay Carney confirmed Tuesday.
Al-Libi's death was "another serious blow to core al Qaeda," said Carney, who was unable to provide further details.
"His death is part of the degradation taking place in core al Qaeda in the last several years," Carney said.
Earlier Tuesday, U.S. officials said that al-Libi was killed by a CIA drone strike in Pakistan launched Monday.

America! Fuck Yeah!

[Section 40]

Both were in or near the border with Pakistan. Shocking.

[B Luc]

But...but pakistan is our Ally. They'd never harbor known terrorists that they know we're hunting....

[Section 40]

Exactly.
Is there a bigger farce than the fact that Pakistan and the US are on the "same side" in the war on terror.
What exactly do we get from Pakistan anyways? Students in need of a bath is all I can think of right now.

[B Luc]

You mean students who wear way too much cologne/perfume.

[BS1]

I believe you said it once before....just make that place one huge desert

[B Luc]

I don't see why not. Pakistan and India will be at war in 10-15 years, anyways. Afghanistan will never be stable. Iran is ruled by a certifiable sociopath. Just end the shit.

the ONLY thing I will ever like about a Philly fan....EVER....
