Does the Mexican government restrict who can leave the country legally? Or is the U.S. government the biggest obstacle, not letting very many people in? Serious question - no racist answers, please.

It just seems like the 8-game schedule was much better: play your 5 division rivals every year, and rotate half (3) of the teams in the other division every year. And then you never have a single season with 5 conference road games. And it gives teams more freedom to schedule non-conference opponents that they want to play.

For example, this crazy church group that protests at funerals of fallen soldiers - and is now going to protest at the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards - how can they get away with that? Clearly, they are disturbing the peace - why don't police arrest them? Or at least make them stop? Is anyone here a legal expert and can explain that to me?

Just curious....

To even it out a bit, let's say hypothetically that Steve Young is blind and confined to a wheelchair.

With Charlie Davies now out of the mix for sure (at least for this upcoming World Cup), who is the best option for Team USA to pair with Jozy Altidore at forward? Johnson? Ching? Buddle? Gomez? I love Findley, but no way he makes the 23-man roster . . .

The Stars and Stripes need speed, and Findley brings that. He's already one of the most dangerous strikers in the MLS, and he has potential to be even better, especially with some experience at the international level. So why not?

For example: pulmonology, cardiology, etc.

I have a '96 Jeep Grand Cherokee with 4-wheel disc brakes. The brake pads are almost new. The brakes squeal loudly the first time I stop, then mildly the second time, then not at all after that.

I haven't seen the stat sheet, so maybe he blocked a shot or two, but most of what I saw was Laker players shooting layups right in Superman's face, without him doing much about it. Am I right?

I'm looking for a simple board - solid black would be wonderful. But it seems all snowboards have weird designs and obnoxious color schemes. I don't want flaming skulls or dragons or naked chicks on my board. Just something simple. Can anyone steer me in the right direction?

Granted, the season isn't over yet, but if voting was done right now, who deserves it the most? I'm thinking this is finally the year Jerry Sloan wins the award. The Jazz have been ravaged by major injuries the entire season (Boozer, Kirilenko, etc.) and they've faced some off-court distractions, but they're still in prime position to win the Northwest Division. I think the league should finally give Sloan his due. Anyone agree?

Against Canada, Howard, Bosh, and Boozer combined for just 41 minutes. It seems like we could get killed on the boards if that doesn't change . . .

If he does, who could the Jazz get to replace him?

Most people automatically say Flutie-to-Phelan (Boston College vs. Miami), but I've seen that one and it's not impressive at all. Miami just played stupid defense. Phelan was wide open in the end zone. I say BYU's Jim McMahon to Clay Brown in the 1980 Holiday Bowl was much better. Brown fought off four defenders to catch the ball. It's much more impressive to me. Anyone agree?

My Fall Break is October 8-14 this year. My friends and I would like to climb Mount Elbert in Colorado. Can the mountain be hiked that late in the year (without ice axe, crampons, etc.)?

Big Ben used to be good for 15 rebounds and 3-4 blocks every game. He's not really old and hasn't been injured recently, but his stats are much lower now. What's up?

Stockton's numbers are so vastly superior to Nash's. Nash is a slightly better scorer (career 14.0 ppg vs. Stockton's 13.1 ppg), but he is a terrible defender and his teams never go very far in the playoffs. People post statements like "Nash is better! He's a great passer, a great leader, and a winner!" But Stockton is superior in all of those categories. Why do so many people think that?

I argue that it's Mark Eaton, who holds the NBA record for highest average in a season (5.56 per game) and career (3.50 per game). Does anyone agree with me?
