Do you think that the firing of Pat Quin was a good choice?

i think this is a good idea if you look into the future..obviously, the leafs are (FINALLY) going through a youth movement and focusing on young player like pohl, coliacovo or steen..all these guys will play a big role in the leafs future...knowing that...it is important to have a coach who focuses on these young men....unfortunatly, Quinn was not known for this but for relying on old, veterans

I think Roger Goodell will succeed Paul Tagliabue as NFl Commissionner without a doubt. He is like Paul's right hand man. However, I think Rich McKay is capable of doing the best job because he is a very bright hands on guy that the players would respect.

Personally, I think it is a poor decision.  However, whether we agree or not, here is some logic to it.  The company is only getting a contract to manage these ports.  Even the hiring is primarily controlled by the unions and the security is controlled by the United States Government.  This company also has heavy experience in this and has demonstrated friendship with the United States.\n\nAs individuals we may not agree that this is a good decision, but cursing President Bush and defining him with expletives does little to change the situation.  If anyone disagrees, look into it and develop some facts that support your suggestions to change it.    Contact your Congressional Representatives and make your point of view known.  Develop lobbying groups in your community and have them all work together to change this situation.\n\nWithout such an effort the current situation will prevail.

Of course. Ben was Alan's protege selected and endorsed to replace him. It is not uncommon for people in his position to consult the previous holder of that position.

that is why he resigned.\nif the demos had a chance to fire him it would mean bush would have to adnit he was wrong. \nright now the bush camp can spin this to make bush look good,\nwanting to work with demos, wanting a change in iraq, etc

This isn't really an answer...\n\nbut I found it funny that Wittington, at his press conference when he left the hospital, apologized to the VP for what he had gone through.\n\nThe VP shoots someone in the face, and the guy apologizes to the VP.  Wow, that's something.

No big change . . . I fired him because he didn't show up to cut my lawn because of the immigration walk out.\n\nHe could have informed . . . but he didn't . . . he didn't even show up the day after or the day after that . . . \n\nIf that is how he treats his customer . . . then I will find someone else to cut my grass.

I don't know if O'Reilly is even in hockey anymore.  They need a GM who is seen as being totally independent, not a puppet of Sinden.  Somebody with credibility and experience.  Perhaps a Pat Quinn, or a Brian Sutter.  As for coach, that should obviously be the new GM's decision.

Well, that's a good question. But to me it seems like it might be true, managament after this scandal rather backed off and resigned...

absolutely.  Im a big Sox fan and I was very excited to see that they resigned him.  It says a lot about his character that he stayed in Chicago for less money because he wanted to be on the White Sox.  He is a great player and Im glad hes on the south side

Ummm... am i the only one who sees this as being simple? well, if you were good BEFORE this coach, and have sucked since he got there, then maybe they should fire the coach? ya think? maybe?\n\nA good coach that inherits a good team that has good players, does NOT start losing with a good team. If he changed the System with a team that was successful running a certain system, then he is an idiot and should be removed. I mean, cmon! atleast wait til the seniors on the team graduate before you start changing things.

I think he handled it well...actually felt sorry for him...he made a mistake...and has been slated for it....it's like he said..it's not like anyone died, got hurt or it cost anybody the game..

I'm all for Arnie - I think he has done a good job getting the spending under better control.  He has also been brave in taking on the state employees that in many cases (such as the prison guards) are way over paid and have rediculous benefits such as massive amounts of paid vacations and huge retirement packages.  I hope he gets re-elected!

I'm glad. Bush has a very high "let down factor". The Texans proved that they care more about winning a championship than ticket sales.\n\nBush will still be drafted really high up, and the minute he under performs the pressure may be too much for him to take. There are a lot of expectations that will be very difficult for him to meet. I think it was a good move. For the Texans. They got a very good player that can contribute right away.

he was renegotiating his contract.  he has been officially fired!\nI am as upset as you

I have a problem agreeing that someone named Goumba Johnny should have a job.  Why were they fired?  They probably did something offensive and stupid, which they thought was funny.\n\nTerrestrial radio is awful anyway - get yourself an XM Radio and you'll be much happier!

Either way, he is likely to be confirmed.  While he is a Republican, he is not a zealot.  He has proven in the past that he can work with both parties.  He is probably a very good choice.  This is the first replacement, but probably not the last, that Jim Baker will ask the President for.
