Quote:Yeah windows 8.1 is awful. Windows 10 preview is looking good so far. It seems every other OS from Microsoft is a dud.

Edit:

Windows 95/NT - Good

Windows ME - Crap

Windows XP - Awesome

WIndows Vista - Crap

Windows 7 - Really Good

Windows 8 - Okay to Good on touch systems, crap as a desktop replacement

Windows 10 - Hopeful

You forgot 98. It's not hard to forget 98; it was basically a clone of 95.

Here's a question that comes to mind for you and/ or anyone else.

Other than Firefox and an earlier version of IE, what other options for a Windows Laptop or Desktop are there in order to post on this board? Is there a product that has a spell checker AND enables one to use the quote feature?

maybe Google Chrome? my wife uses chrome and loves it...won't use anything else...IDK why I don't like it, just don't...I haven't used it enough to like it or not like it because there is just something about it I hate lol...I guess the biggest reason I don't use it, is because I have used Firefox for a long time and I don't like changing things lol

Chrome, which has the spell checker embedded (red underlines) whenever you are using the quote feature.

Whether someone has a liberal, or conservative viewpoint, a authoritative figure should not lock a thread for the sole purpose to get the last word in all the while prohibiting someone else from being able to respond.

I just switched to Firefox from IE11 and my quote function is back. Thanks for the heads up.

Many more twists and turns are likely ahead before one or more teams are back in Los Angeles.

It sounds like St. Louis and the state of Missouri are making a concerting effort to keep the Rams. Hopefully, they are successful:

Why?

I know St. Louis talked smack about Jacksonville during the expansion race, and continues to talk smack now.

Screw St. Louis.

The Rams belong in LA.

Worst to 1st. Curse Reversed!

There are fans of every team and from every city that talk smack. There's plenty of smack against Jacksonville from Los Angeles. My guess is more than from St. Louis.

Considering that the Rams had one of the worst 5 year runs in NFL history a few seasons ago and haven't had even a .500 season since 2006, it would be wrong for St. Louis to lose their team. The only time justification of moving a franchise can be made from the standpoint of fan support is if fans don't support a team that wins consistently.

If this is true then the Rams should never have left Los Angeles.

When the Rams won, they were supported.

As for smack talk, I know I've heard it from St. Louis.

I know the columnist (Miklasz?) who compared then Alltel stadium to a glob of toothpaste. I know the people there derisively say they can simply take our team if the Rams leave.

The thing is, Los Angeles had both the Rams and Raiders pretty much leave in the same year.

St. Louis had lost the Cardinals in 1988 because of support and stadium issues.

They drew the Rams from Los Angeles due to stadium issues.

They already learned or should have learned the lessons needed to keep the Rams, and they didn't apply them.

Now they are coming up with this last minute deal, thinking the Jaguars are the fallback.

That SCREAMS football ambivalence. St. Louis has always been a baseball town.

It is true that the Rams never should have left Los Angeles.   Yet, the same certainly is the case that the Dodgers never should have left Brooklyn, which was one of the best fan bases in the history of sports in North America.   The Brooklyn Dodgers fan base made it possible for Jackie Robinson to break the MLB color barrier. The manner in which Los Angeles enabled Walter O' Malley to take the Dodgers out of Brooklyn is something that shouldn't be forgotten despite it happening after the 1957 season.

I think those from the St. Louis are that are looking at the Jaguars as a potential replacement for the Rams should be ripped. However, for years there has been those from the Los Angeles area calling for the Jaguars to move to Los Angeles.   We have seen this repeatedly, including on this MB.

I agree with you that St. Louis wasn't proactive enough until the last year or so regarding the future of the Rams. Yet, compared to many other cities including the Twin Cities, Oakland, and San Diego, St. Louis' response has been much quicker.

Having said all of this, I support Los Angeles getting an expansion franchise.   My view of the Angels, Kings, and Ducks, all expansion franchises, is much better than that of the Dodgers and Lakers.

St. Louis Rams beat writer Jim Thomas, IMO one of the best in the business, expressed what the vast majority of us have been aware of. The Jaguars aren't going anywhere for at least a long time to come:

A city is on the cusp of losing their second NFL franchise in 30 years. Another team is not moving there.

I do think the people in St Louis must be kicking themselves for building a dome that was quickly outdated as opposed to a stadium built around the same time like in Jacksonville, Charlotte and Balitmore.

The following article caught my attention. The bottom line is St. Louis, Oakland, and San Diego don't have much remaining margin of error. Each of these cities needs to have a firm stadium plan in place by the end of this year or is at very serious risk of not having an NFL team for the 2016 season:
