SDS

I have asmall 14" chain saw and I am wondering if it is worth it to sharpen the chain or should I just buy a new one. Does anyone have any experience here?

I can download the original source but QT 7.0.3 didn't like it...

perhaps it isn't a binhex file Gina and your mac is getting confused?

looks like a bad file. it won't even download for me (0 bytes).

Seriously... the jokes are not funny anymore. Insider jokes, breaking news jokes, stupid HC choice jokes... they have been beaten to death.

given the current state of our team - we need a Mike Sherman who will restore the desire for players to play in Buffalo and bring some respectability back. Maybe he isn't SB ready, but neither are we. Let's steady the ship and go from there.

50 times later and it is still as funny as the 1st time...

Well, I wouldn't say that...

smart ass... ok, maybe not the "ultimate" but then again I'm not sure Ralph would be that person either.

why is Leo Roth using Allen Wilson's name?

This is nothing new. When we had the ultimate source of inside information posting here during the Johnson era - it was posted on TBD that Johnson was chosen over Flutie. Magically, it appeared over there 15 minutes later and then magically after that their time stamp was altered to be 8 minutes before our time stamp... (I believe I have screen shots stored in some archive somewhere if it is denied...) Keep in mind our timestamps are unix timestamps associated with exact time an entry is inserted into our database and at the time they did their's by looking at a clock. So, the beat goes on... glad they are reading.

how did that work?

yeah, but Bob has a better subject line....

yeah, well wait till you see me September - our new gym opens in a couple of weeks and I'm going to get all ripped up to match the killer haircut I just got...

He's straight?

Kelly... you're as cool as the other side of the pillow. Props to you.

TO will be a dominate, well-behaved player next year. Mark my words.

I agree with what you are saying, but trying to land a great football mind is just as important in my book as some other attributes. Sadly, it appears that 1% really soaks up most of the glory as defined by Championships.

When all the marbles were on the line - even WITH superior talent he lost. And for that - I refuse to scrub his scrotum.... Like I mentioned previously, I see no point in romanticizing an individual's ability to keep a team together in the face of adversity when it is of my opinion that the adversity was created by the same person.

I think you could put in Shanahan, Holmgren, Walsh, perhaps Vermiel (on the offense)... Maybe you could argue Parcells, but he DOES have mucho input and to me that seems the natural way to go. If not, why not have Steve Jobs as your HC? If you have other football men running the show, then what is the need for a top coordinator, etc.. to assume a HC position when in fact you are advocating removing the HC from the essential workflow that needs to take place in order to prepare for your opponent?

I'm not in the mood for a game of gotcha, so just make your point.

In one sentence - that is EXACTLY what I mean and highlights my issues with Marv. I guess I shouldn't rag on Levy for being who he is, just like I don't rag on Parrish for being who he is. They can't help it. They are who they are and they are doing the best that can given their limited abilities. I was just always resentful that our opponents in the big game had a head coach providing added value and direction that allowed them to beat us. My position is that if we had a head coach that was on par with our opponents, one who could provide that added value, that direction, that knowledge of a weakness we could exploit, that we would have won those big games. Marv was a wonderful head cheerleader that made everyone feel warm and fuzzy after the SB losses. Well, in my book, that is like the admiring the orphan who pulls himself together after he killed his parents...

Blame women for most of these complaints. They are the ones driving the human interest stories. The networks figure the men will watch regardless, so they try and draw more women in with all the bull sh--.

yes and no... Coach Levy made sure the buses ran on time and was generally pleasant to be around. Parcells, Gibbs, Belichek... those guys provide more detailed direction on how to defeat the next opponent. They keep their coordinators in check, incase they come up with things that won't work in their estimation. As HC's they display week in and week out why they know more than their underlings (and their counterparts across the field). Personally, I would rather have a guy who is smart enough and knows the game/opponent well enough to provide key input every Sunday than someone who just walks the sidelines yelling for the punt team every now and then.

or take it in the can from the Pats...
