On any given day, there are potentially hundreds of people posting and lurking on BBI. But not all posters are created equal when it comes to knowledge and expertise in various categories regarding football and non-football related topics.
With this in mind, who are some of the posters that BBI sees as having more knowledgeable (maybe even at an expert level) than others in various categories? Who are the posters with track record of great contributions in discussions? And why do you think that?
Weatherman- his contributions on the weather threads are always appreciated
Red Dog seems to be the snowblower expert

Yeah...Bill2 was the first to come to mind, but his knowledgeable in so many areas that I didn't know how to categorize him.
Of course...Filthy with anything "Epic" related.

And KickerPa has knowledge about the pro kicking game in addition to soccer.
There are others who provide some insightful draft info as well, such as JonC (still the most interesting man in the world), Anak (he's come so far since his picture with Eli), and KWALL, Blogger, Phil in LA...I'm sure there are others.

But if I had to nail down a handful of guys, I'd want a roundtable with Phil, Bill2, mg, njm and kicker for economics (and I know these guys often disagree, which only makes it better IMO).
For football, over the years I don't think I've seen anyone more on point for scouting/player evaluations than KWALL. X's and O's, I don't think anyone's done better work here than Anish or dorgan, and despite his outlook on the Giants lately (and hell, who can blame him), I think Joey rounds out that list nicely.

It's Friday morning, and I've been running on 4 hours of sleep a day for the past several weeks (fussy three month old does that to you). Add to that the fact that I'm not too bright to start with, so there are many things that go right over my head. Sorry.

Ha. I mean it, if I ever met you at a BBI event or something, I owe you a beer or 30. You probably have no recollection but you saved me hundreds on an electrical issue a couple of years ago. Plus, lawn advice, etc. For that, I say thank you sir!

just asking
(ana one, anda two)
"Why Must I Always Explain?"
Have to toe the line, I've got to make the most
Spent all the years going, from pillar to post
Now I'm standing on the outside and I'm waitin' in the rain
Tell me why must I always explain
Bared my soul to the crowd eh but oh what the cost
Most of them laughed out loud like nothing's been lost
There were hypocrites and parasites and people that drain
Tell me why must I always explain
Why, why must I always explain
Over and over, over again
It's just a job you know and it's no sweet lorraine
Tell me why must I always explain (alright)
Well I get up in the morning and I get my brief
I go out and stare at the world in complete disbelief
It's not righteous indignation that makes me complain
It's the fact that I always have to explain
I can't be everywhere at once, there's always somebody to see
And I never turned out to be the person that you wanted me to be
And I tell you who I am, time and time and time again
Tell me why must I always explain
Well it's out on the highway and it's on with the show
Always telling people things they're too lazy to know
It can make you crazy, yeah it can drive you insane
Tell me why must I always explain.
Play the "Van Morrison" Quiz
Did you see the lad, on the corner
He was standing drinking wine
Wears his overcoat in the summer
And short sleeves in the winter time
Takes his holidays, down at the bookies
Well he knows how to pick a horse
Village tramping round the countryside
He wears a smile, but he doesn't say much
Village idiot, he's complicated
Village idiot, simple mind
Village idiot, he does know something
But he's just not saying
Don't you know he's onto something
You can see it, you can see it in his eyes
Sometimes he looks so happy
As he goes strolling by
Oh village idiot, he's complicated
Village idiot, he's got a simple mind
Village idiot, must know something
But he's just not saying
Well you all know he's onto something
You can see it in his eyes
Sometimes he looks so happy
When he goes walking by
Sometimes he looks so happy
When he goes walking by
Sometimes he looks so happy

Ok. Question. Hmm. Remember that time you came here for computer help because one of your kids was watching porn on your computer and they downloaded a virus?
Is the Bible the word of God? IF so, where does it specifically state it is the word of God?
and that from childhood you have known the sacred writings which are able to give you the wisdom that leads to salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness; 2 Timothy 3:15-16 emphasis mine
The Greek term translated as inspiration, theopneustos, in theological usage, means "God breathed out".
19We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts. 20Above all, you must understand that no prophecy of Scripture came about by the prophet’s own interpretation of things. 21For prophecy never had its origin in the human will, but prophets, though human, spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit.
I'm sure you are right JonC, but I never bring it up but rather only respond. A question was asked of me from a man who may be seeking to find answers. I would feel remiss if I didn't try to answer it, especially if I thought he was sincere. Besides, I don't care too much what people think of me here. I care about what God thinks of me, and he has told me to go out into the world to share the good news. I expect a certain amount of contempt. After all, my Lord received the same treatment as well.

Actually, you came on this thread specifically to mention your religion and then to share your persecution complex without any prompting from anyone. So why don't you just take JonC's advice and save yourself from the "persecution?"
We can always start "Who is the best Mike on BBI" list for you.
There are several "Mike in" or "Mike from" posters here that we can actually get a list going.

Why don't you mind your own business. I'm sorry your IQ is not high enough to analyze the flow of the discussion here. I don't have the patience today for such silliness. Let me know if you have a Bible question. That is not silliness.

Whoa! Lookit the religious guy turning the other cheek. Very Christian of you. Pfffffffffffft.
So many guys here do just that here- act like busybodies, adding nothing to the flow of the discussion but just want to belittle- and today I felt the need to call the dude out on this silly busy body behavior.
Well, just to sum matters up- I never said I walked on water and now you know why I put all my trust in Christ's atonement at Calvary- to pay for my sins! Did I sin here by lashing out? I would say so. Oh well, it happens. To God (not me) be the glory!
I do not attend a formal Sunday church. For a number of years I attended a Messianic congregation at a synagogue where both Jews who have accepted Jesus as Messiah and Christian believers meet. Recently, a group of us left the congregation because we didn't like where the Rabbi was heading, so now we meet in local homes every Saturday.
Back to your question, women were very important to Jesus and held a place that was uncommon for women at that time.Yes, women speak, wear jewelry in our meetings, and we do not feel this is opposed to the will of God. Obviously, The times during the bible have changed. It may have been a cultural thing back then, as you know, women didn't even attend service with their men, and of course didn't go to any formal schools. Times have changed. I never believed first century culture is God manadated for every century. Plus, Pauls words of instruction should be filtered between moral and cultural.
I hope this helps. Not saying it is right....it is mine for now.
To legalism- some of us did not agree, so best to leave instead of being devisive. Mandating behaviors we did not feel are "essential." Similar to the question the dude above asked.

Actually you tend to pretty much lash out anytime your faith is questioned. Not very Christian to embellish or tell tall tales

I'm not sure you even know what the definition of "flow" means if you think that there was any flow to this discussion that may have called for your persecution complex riddled post above.
While I barely have ever interacted with you prior to this thread, if you want to be the man of pious character on BBI, then act like one. All you have accomplished is to garner dislike for your character from many posters by your petulant and oft pushy attitude towards others who do not share your view of religion, particularly yours. Character is how you act, not how you talk.
Private Pyle? That's just harsh, brah.
Well, you are definitely the first person to come to my mind when I think of hippies...;)
So, please get over that mantra. I know guys like to use those buzz words to arouse passions, but it's a ruse here.
Now, I do care about the seeker and the one who is still trying to figure things out. That person may truly have questions about god and the bible and is looking for answers. I'm not saying I have all the answers, but I'm willing to share my perspective and knowledge.
For the record, I did not start a religious discussion here. I merely stated what I believe I'm somewhat an expert in- the Holy Bible. Didn't you ask this in your original post?

Your statement reeks of judgment and arrogance - a typical stance held by many who flout their religion as the end all, be all of human existence. The issue is that no one cares what YOU think or believe yet your religion somehow manages to seep into every thread you post in on this board. It's tired. We want to participate in a forum that covers sports, current events, hilarious events and general fun. We couldn't care less about who YOU think is enlightened or saved or "seeking" the truth. Either post something within the realm of the topics I mentioned or get lost.
I'm curious, are you that "weak of mind" that you can't even ignore a thread or post that doesnt interest you or causes you agita?

First off, I personally don't care if you say that you're an expert on the Bible in response to this thread. Good for you. But enough with your persecution complex (which seems to be your MO here...playing the martyr).
Secondly, I don't think those who were asking you questions were really being serious as much as poking fun at your consistency as well as your very fundamental take on Christianity. I may be wrong, but knowing your interaction with those posters, I highly doubt that they really wanted your expertise on the Bible or Christianity.
And maybe you should go learn what "pot calling the kettle black" means since it's obvious that you've never heard that phrase before.

Some people just love to come out of the woodwork and try to get the old bully brigade together - any time some people express their faith.
They take it for granted that there will be others to jump on the bandwagon, and there usually are. What is new, this is as old as time.
As for the video you cited, I did a little research and I found this below. This is much shorter to read than your video. If you are interested, maybe you could check it out.
If you have a specific question about the Bible I will be glad to try to answer it. Cheers.

If I may add this one thought I had while watching it: it really does grieve my soul when I see or hear a Jew question the existence of God. To me, a Jew- God's Chosen People- more than anyone else, should KNOW WITHOUT A DOUBT, that the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob really does exist. Anyhow, just me sharing my thoughts......
I tend to comment mostly on hockey as well general topics, including geography/demography/transportation but just about random topic. Less on football because it's covered very well by the above posters.
I especially find him interesting because he has studied the New Testament greatly as well. He would be another great guy to have over for dinner and wine. I've listened to about 15 minutes of his thoughts on Matthew chapter 23. Btw, Great speaker too.
