I'm with Red on this one. Subprime lending was pretty constant up through 2003, defaults were not a problem yet. Consider the below, from the...
Please explain this statement, since the repubs controlled both the house, the senate and also the white house. They did not need anything more...
I always liked coach Van here in Houston, I thought he'd do well at LSU. For his successor, this name came up before, but she had not proven...
Re: 2009 1/2 RB Bryce Brown Another one bites the dust! I've watched this with mild interest, but because he has not sounded like an :lsup:...
I agree with CS that rates will go up at some point. 3.5% on 30 yr. treasury bond won't last. The 100 year average is probably between 5 and 6%....
Miles is saying the right thing, he'd be crazy to anoint JJ. My expectation is that JJ emerges as the starter. He knows the offense, he's had a...
