Why does Imus get fired and Rosie doesn't?

Imus makes an unfunny and somewhat racist joke about acollegebasketball team, while Rosie makes an unfunny and somwhat racist joke about Asians, and their "ching-chong' speaking. Both are not over the top jokes, they both apologize but only one is now a national headline and is losing his job.

Why is that?... Id like liberals and conservatives to weigh in on this.

Why does Imus get fired and Rosie doesn't?nba salaries

Who knows. Why wasn't' Imus fired 20 years ago when he started offending the nation? Why was he allowed to get away with sexist and racist comments his whole career?

Why is it OK for Jesse Jackson to refer to Jews as Hymie's and not be ridiculed. Why can Al Sharpton push a girl to falsely accuse a group of white boys of gang rape 20 years ago and still be seen as a leader?

Who the hell knows. Its all garbage and to say we as a nation have standards is a farce.

Ann Colter said ****.ot and got more speech bookings...the guy from Grey's got REHAB!!

Why does Imus get fired and Rosie doesn't?nba playoff ,nba teams

Glad to see that it's traversed over from a racial issue to a liberal/conservative issue now.

Imus has been dodging this bullet for many years and last week he happened to get shot.

Rosie...give it time, her time is coming as well.

Next...
It is because the Asians did not make a big ruckus about it that's why,
Because fat liberal lesbians can't be touched. They will sue, whine and make a scene just like Al Sharpton!
Imus will get fired and bow away gracefully

he is really gentle man,,,,a little crazy and has a loose tongue,,but gentle

with Rosie we would never hear the end of her wrath
Omg....what the hell?
Because the world is full of double-standards. Just like someone who's anti-abortion and unwavering is considered close-minded, but someone who's pro-abortion and unwavering is considered open-minded.
Because everyone is afraid of fat chicks and what they might do if you fire them.
Cause Rosie has enough common sense to not refer to Asians as hos.
you all are crazy!! the man made some very rude and racist remarks about females he didn't even know!!!

Barton Vs. Winona State?

The comeback that happened is one of the most amazing thing I have ever seen. If you didn't believe in March magic you better now. I think its the best game incollegebasketball history. Its the most underwatched game I have ever seen that was that great. It was the typical David Vs. Goliath story and was capped off by an awesome comeback. No more will I ever say a game is over till it says 0 on the clock. Then I look in the paper this morning and its just a short blip! Was the the most underrated game I have ever seen. I wonder what you guys think of the game?

Barton Vs. Winona State?nba gear

Cause they're not the beloved Florida and UCLA, and Georgetown. These guys play for the real integrity of the game, because they love it and they want 2 win. There r no scouts 2 impress, no TV cameras, just the 10 guys and a basketball.

I personally loved this game, because It was an upset, it was a buzzer beater, and these guys just love playing the game.

Barton Vs. Winona State?nba finals 2007 ,nba teams

That game was gaaaaay. Report It


I remember watching it live and just laughing at the replay so much. he got the shot off with less than 2/10's of a second remaining. I'm still amazed at that game and don't know if I'll ever forget it. Report It


I cried... Report It


I didn't see the game on tv. I saw the highlights. Any sport that is not Division I-A really gets no respect. These kids are very talented athletically and should receive more national attention. I saw that the game was on CBS, which is great so almost everybody could've watched the game. I bet winona state doesn't even know how to feel right now, they haven't lost in 57 games!! That was an amazing run and an amazing play by the barton player to steal it and get it off before the buzzer. Great game!! Maybe now division 2 and also division 3 teams get more publicity nationally.
GO BARTON BULLDOGS, They are from my hometown of Wilson, North Carolina, This was a great game, and whoever is a true basketball fan, should consider Div 2 and 3 Basketball too, even though a lot isn't televised, these guys truly play there heart out, and when most will never even see the NBA, they still get all my respect as athletes. Go Anthony Actkinson.

Whats your favorite sport to watch?

You like the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, College football or COllege basketball, heck you might even like soccer or racing, lets here about it and why

Whats your favorite sport to watch?nba playoff schedule ,nba teams

The best sport to watch is football. You call it soccer but it's football to the rest of the world. You can't even use your feet in American Football. Your World? series is just in your country.
I like watching gymnastics cause they can do these amazing tricks. Hey anyone can dribble,kick, catch, hit a ball, but only a few can do a yurchenko vault.
deffinately gymnastics because its so different from other sports and they all do different things not the same thing over and over and over again. =D
My favorite sport to watch is MMA, and Drag racing.
to watch NFL, to play bball.

Why does the state of NY forget about the victims of violent crimes?

I'm a state prison guard in NY and it just seems to me that Correction Officers are truely the only people that remember the victims of crime. While I watch 3oo inmates a day play basketball, and softball I wonder what are we Correcting at all. DId you know in most prisons in the state prisoners have access to cable channels such as showtime, cinemax, HBO, ect, ect, They buy food from the prison store that is paid by tax payers and which they buy most everything at cost( no profit is made). I believe that we are giving themcollegecourse once again free of charge. (pretty said when a smart high school student can't go tocollegebecause he can't afford it, but aconvicted murderer can for go for free) Medically Prison inmates have the best health care than anyone...inmates are having shoulders rebuilt and hips replaced. These are rapists, drugdealers and murders that get this treatment sounds more of a retirement home then jail doesn't it.

Why does the state of NY forget about the victims of violent crimes?nba mock draft

I agree with you for the most part....yet, there are many

inmates which really got a bum deal on 'mandatory' rather

than judgement sentencing.....inmates that could be converted

into law abiding productive citizens....I believe there should

be screenings done to sort out the promising ones from the

pure sure losers, those that won't be converted no matter

what...Every life is important and it is my contention that many

good lives are ruined because they are thrown in with the

bad ones and never realized.....ONE BAD APPLE WILL

RUIN A BUSHEL......BUT A BUSHEL OF BAD APPLES

WILL ONLY ROT ONE GOOD APPLE!

Why does the state of NY forget about the victims of violent crimes?nba scores ,nba teams

they dont forget them....there is just so many that the police can handle at one time.
Firstly, there would be a lot less victims of violent crime if law abiding citizens were "allowed" to bear arms in New York, like 39 states do, states that have experienced great success in reducing victimhood. That being said, prison is for segregation, not punishment. Prison conditions should be as good as reasonably possible. The only truly significant punishment in felony crime, is the death penalty, something I see as radically immoral, and unconstitutional. Furthermore, anyone presenting a pattern of violence should be immediately segregated from society for life.

About the ACC tournament?

I don't really get this. I'm watching womenscollegebasketball... Since Duke lost to N.C State are they out of tournament? Does this mean that they won't be able to possibly make it the final four...Elite Eight??? I don't get it at all. Can someone explain the tournament is it even related to the NCAA Championships? Anything helps. Thanks in advance

About the ACC tournament?nba tickets

The ACC is their confrence, and just cause you lose in your confrence tournament doesn't mean your out of the NCAA tournament. Duke is an good example of that, they have been a powerhouse all year so they are in the NCAA tournament but may not have the seed in the tournament they wanted because they lost. So no worries they still have a shot.

Most confrences have a season ending tournament to find a confrence champion, the winner of the confrence championship has an automatic position in the NCAA tournament. The rest of the team are selected by a committee

About the ACC tournament?nba fights ,nba teams

Actually, Duke hasnt lost any ACC tourney games yet because it doesnt start until March 8th. They lost their last regular season game to NC, and you can hardly consider Duke a power house this year with an 8-8 record in conference play. Dont worry Clemson will win it al hahahaha! Report It


Since you are talking about the girls(Duke) and everyone else seems to be talking about the boys(Duke)....this girls will make it to the tournment and they will have a number one seed since that was their first loss. Report It


Well if Duke is a good team (probobly is) they'll make the tournoment. The only afilliation confrence tournaments have with the ncaa tournament is the the team that wins their confresce tournament automaticially recives a ncaa tournament bid
Don't worry. In College Basketball, every conference (except the Ivy League) determines their champion in a conference tournament format. The winner of that conference tournament gets an automatic bid to the NCAA tournament where they can advance to the Final Four, Elite Eight etc. Those conference champions only account for 31 or 32 of the 64 teams invited to the NCAA tournament however. The other 30 teams are chosen by what they did in the regular season. So Duke, even though they lost today, its a foregone conclusion that they will be in the NCAA tournament and they will still be the No. 1 team in the country. They can still win it all.
The conference tournaments are just to boost their rating in the NCAA tournament.

Duke will probably still have at least #2 in the AP

They are definitely in the NCAA Tournament

I want to go to Northwestern University?

I want to go to Northwestern University and major in journalism. I also want to play basketball, but I'm not sure I can pay the high yearly tuition. I know NU won't come looking for me down in Atlanta, because of my average GPA (3.2) and my SAT scores (1450). I'm taking the SAT again and I hope to improve my score. I wanted to know would NU accept a basketball player coming from a junior college?

A little more about me

*11th grader

*1450 SAT score, I haven't taken the ACT

*In Who's Who's Among High School Students and two other academic yearbooks

*GPA is 3.3 (last time I checked)

*I want to major in Journalism with a minor in Communications

I want to go to Northwestern University?nba mock drafts

If you're really good at basketball, NU is an NCAA school so they have scholarships for it.

Academically, I don't think you'd get into NU (I assume your SAT is the new SAT) although you're out of the ballpark either. Combine your academics with some basketball skills and talent, and you might get in.

Unfortunately, you might have to change your major. NU has one of the best journalism schools in America and they have pretty high standards.

NCAA schools and thus, NU, do accept basketball players from junior colleges. Some colleges actually rely a good deal on junior colleges but others almost exclusively try to recruit freshmen.

I want to go to Northwestern University?nba street ,nba teams

How did your GPA during your writing of your question go up from a 3.2 to a 3.3? No biggie - I just found it funny. Regarding your SAT score - is that with just two parts of the test or all three parts of the test. If that is including all three that is a very low score for Northwestern University and I would suggest that you look into another college. I would suggest to check out http://www.ugadm.northwestern.edu/freshm... to see some of the data as to who is accepted based on high school academic achievement and SAT scores to the school.

Good Luck!!!
Northwestern is a tough, tough school. very cut throat. If you want to even go there and have them consider you, you need to get those grades up. The academic yearbooks don't mean a thing, especially for a school like Northwestern. Most of the students that go there have 5.0 out of 4.0 GPAs and ridiculous ACT and SAT scores. I'm not trying to be mean, but I'm trying to be realistic, you'd have to be a very good basketball player to be considered by northwestern. They possibly would recruit you from a junior college. That I'll give you. But you'd have to work to get those grades up and keep them up. Make sure, especially with the GPA and SAT score that you have, you need to contact the coaches (go through the website, it's easier than it sounds), and keep contact with them. Give them your stats, and make sure that you go to Northwestern and visit, and make sure that they see you play. If you are a good basketball player, they will recruit you. The school may be full of smart people, but they will understand your financial situation. And, as an added bonus, if you are really good at basketball, you could get a decent scholarship.

Good luck!
75% of the students at Northwestern have SAT scores that are 700 points higher than yours. More than 75% have higher GPAs.

It is highly unlikely that you would be accepted to Northwestern unless it was on a basketball scholarship. The Big Ten is one of the more competetive leagues -- so you would have to be very good. I'm sure they would love to have a McDonald's All America with your GPA and SAT scores. But unless you are that good -- there isn't much luck.

The good news for you is that many of the best journalism schools are at State Universities -- and you have a much better shot at getting into one of them.

You can certainly do a lot better than a community college.
Really would all depend on your skill level. If you're a blue chipper it really doesn't matter where you come from anymore.

Who is Steve Physioc?

He subbed for Joel Myers on play by play commentary on Saturday night for the Laker game, and I was wondering who he was. I would assume he's done commentary before like for high school orcollegebasketball or something since they wouldn't pull a random person off the street and have him do commentary. So who is he?
