CNN REPORTING DIRTY BOMB THREATS AT 7 NFL GAMES THIS WEEKEND

BREAKING ON CNN

[1curiousmind]

Let me just clarify that I am no psychic or anything like that. I have been really concerned about an attack at a major sporting event since the OU bombing one year ago that was basically covered-up as a lone suicide attack. RIIIIIGHT!

I live near Detroit and really felt that the Superbowl was a possible target due to its proximity to the Canadian border. Especially after I read about El Shukrijumah and his ties to Ontario. It dawned on me that a dirty bomb could be detonated from outside the US during the game.

Well, nothing happened. BUT the security was amazing. I have a friend who was there and he told me so.

So this isn't a new thing for me to obsess about! :-)

Just more of the same from a US based terrorist supporting web hosting company.

"We're Steelers fans here, and they've already been bombing this season. What's one more?"

Courage man! Big Ben's finally feeling close to 100% as is Ward and Polamalu. They ran a clinic on Sunday and my money's on them going 9-2 the remainder of the season. Cincy is gassing out, Baltimore *still* doesn't have an offense and Cleveland is playing in the pop warner league.

So do the Miami players. They even have a system to remember. A is for Assault, B is for Battery, C is for Carjacking, D is for Drive-By...

Hopefully the people in charge have enough smarts to realize this could also be a misdirection. Hard to believe the Muzzies would telegraph their intentions before hand(exact locations and such), unless they want everyone's attention away from the real targets.

Could also be another one of those idiotic bluffs the Muzzies are famous for.

[GOP_Raider]

Yes, because everyone else's team has never fallen on hard times before.

*Yawn*

Zarqawi could beat the Texas and he's dead.

I singlehandedly beat the Texans when I was home last month.

It just didn't get on the news because so many other people have done it. I heard the Spring Branch Pop Warner football cheerleaders beat the Texans a few days ago.

[GreenOgre]

The Cards sure do.

[GOP_Raider]

Not only do we Freepers not cowar in the fact of threats....we are able to post without using CUSS WORDS...

Damn right, we don't need no $#@$@ing cuss words!

re:post#72, my friends and I were gathered at the home of the guy with the biggest screen. Our host was so disgusted by the Bears at halftime he said he was going to bed and told us we could waste our time watching the second half if we wanted to. He's still kicking himself for not seeing the rest of the game...

[GOP_Raider]

I think am gleefully hopefull Raiders be first team go 0-16 this year OH BOY because I'm a reflexive, brainwashed Raider hater.

There, fixed it for you.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

ROTFLMAO!!!!

There was a threat posted the night before 9/11 on the old MSNBC news board.

It was not specific as to the method of attack. It was more of a a taunt about what was going to happen the the next day.

It was thought to have been made by by Adam Gadahn from Pakistan.

Pre-9/11 threat posting here:

OK, it's obvious we must develop a scale of some sort

Don't be in the same neighborhood late at night	Don't look at wrong	Don't pick a fight with	Don't turn your back on	Don't worry about too much
Raiders	Cowboys	Steelers	49ers	Rams
Ravens	Bears	Bengels	Titans	Bills
Eagles	Vikings	Browns	Jets	Dolphins
	Buccaneers	Broncos	Patriots	Texans
		Giants	Colts	Chargers
		Packers	Jaguars	Lions
		Panthers	Chiefs
		Seahawks	Redskins
			Falcons
			Saints
			Cardinals

Admittedly I don't really know all of these teams from this angle.  By the way, I like and follow the Titans (local), 49ers (old home town), Cowboys (birthplace) and NY Giants (other old home town).  I'm probably way wrong on my assessments and my categories.  So have at it.  By the way, what team is Romanowski with now (if any), California penal?  OK, I just checked.  He's a Raider.  That definitely reinforces my feeling about them.

Countdown on when Dems blame Bush on the timing of this, tick, tick, tick,...

In CNN clip just played on Hugh Hewitt, Begala just implied as much.

"Do the Raiders count as a bomb?

Yes...a very Dirty bomb.

[matt1234]

If this bombing happens, Chris Berman is going to have to come up with some new nicknames.

[GOP_Raider]

By the way, what team is Romanowski with now?

None. His first and only season with the Raiders (w/ any significant playing time) was in 2002.

[Terpfen]

If that's an assessment of fanbases, you ranked the Steelers too low.
