theNose76

1. No and 2. No But I will be watching every week regardless

Great reference, just have to correct that Houston's coach was Jack Pardee at the time (watched this game on DVD last month). A few other notables from the Oilers were OC Kevin Killdrive, young MLB Eddie Robinson, and CB Jerry Gray. IIRC the DC, forgot who it was but don't think it was Buddy Ryan, was fired the next day. Picks: Chiefs +7 - but Indy will win because of KC's lack of explosiveness Cowboys +3 - as badly as Romo and co. are playing Seattle is absolutely decimated Jets +8.5 - Pats win, Jets score a TD at the end to come within 7 Eagles -6.5 - Giants are just horrible, sure the Eagles D has spent all week watching tape of Tiki's game on Saturday, so they should limit him, keep in mind how terrible Eli was last year in the playoffs at home, now he needs to go into the Linc, no way

Yea, that's what I meant by him having good timing and not talking too much. He let's the game go instead of screaming over it ala Theismann.

Hope I don't get strung up for this, but I love Troy Aikman as an analyst. I think he's got it all as a color guy - smooth, even talking voice, a lot of knowledge (about the entire game, not just qbs), good timing, and doesn't talk too much. Unfortunately hes on Fox w/ Joe Buck who I think is not very good at all. Aikman's the best in the biz, and that's really tough to say considering what he did to us on the field.

Pretty much agree with the sentiment above - and I thought Campbell had an outstanding game, logged 30+ mins, and I just saw on the box score that he was given 1st star. Definitely agree with that. Unfortunately I don't think he was on the ice for the last goal - don't remember the defensive pairing out there.

I like his comment on how the Ducks are balanced in scoring, well the Sabres have 3 guys with 10+ goals, 6 with 10+ assists, and a full FIVE guys ahead of Selanne, who is the leader of the Ducks "balanced" attack. How is having ONE guy in the top 40 more balanced than FIVE?? Let alone the 7 players in the top 25 in plus/minus? That's balanced all-around team play right there. And "let's not hold it against the Ducks for being healthy" but the let's hold it against the Sabres for "not playing any top defensive teams". Nice double talk.

Speaking of "911" that joke in the beginning about not flying was one that few people in the theater got, but my roommate, who is Jewish, and I were literally grabbing each other and laughing horrendously when he said what he said. The nudity scene was completely unexpected - I heard Cohen was nude in the movie but I figured he was just walking around or something, real quick, not a 3 minute "fight" scene with a fat naked man with man breasts and hairy ballsack in Cohen's face for at least 30 seconds! Add to that the running through the hotel, into the elevator, into the convention. Oh man. I had solid tears in my eyes throughout that whole scene. I can't wait to watch it on DVD so I can actually hear what goes on during that scene, it was too loud in the theater to actually hear anything. One of the funniest scenes in a movie I have ever seen!

Just got home, saw the 9:40 show on the west coast. And yes, "the scene" was UNBELIEVABLY FUNNY and horribly disgusting all at once. I am laughing just typing this! I liked that and the dinner party scene the best. "Mental or physical?"

Duh - obviously this movie will have no appeal in "Middle America" but alot in "Big Cities". Last I checked, big cities = lots of people, middle America (to quote Borat) - not so much. Few people that live in those areas would "get" it, and I'm sure many would be grossly offended. Their loss! And the writer obviously has not seen Da Ali G Show, otherwise he/she would know that Borat is one of the three characters on it. The writing makes it seem like Borat was created only for this movie. But of course I may be reading too much into it since I'm eagerly anticipating seeing it myself!

I saw some interviews w/ the actual Sacha Baron Cohen - not in character - and he said it takes him 6 weeks to grow the moustache for Borat. I hadn't heard that he wears the same suit and doesn't wash it though, that's awesome.

A few solid clips from this week: from Today Show from Letterman He was on Conan last night but it's not on youtube yet.

Had that first one hanging in my dorm room in college. Such a great pic.

I will be going Friday. Can't wait! Chinqui!

Amazingly they didn't reverse that fumble by Caldwell...

Was just about to post about that play that just happened - actually they seemed to call it incomplete the whole way, although they may have been discussing if it was a catch and then Belichik barked at them and they ruled incomplete. Then the ref looks at it for 2 mins, sees Wiggins catch, take THREE steps (not just 2, or a "football move"), and still rules it incomplete. Borderline hilarious.

Technically, the 3 shootout wins, in the old rule system, would've been ties. Apparently the Leafs in '93 won 9 games in regulation and one in OT I belive. That's what he's alluding to. Either way, this team is amazing.

Awesome baby!

Listened today for a while at work - didn't see this mentioned - tomorrow they are roasting Gary. Well worth it to listen, I'm sure.

6-2 win in Beantown -- gotta love this from the ap recap:

How about those Philly Flyers

FYI 2 of the 9 goals are in Sportscenter's top 10 - goal by Roy passing back and forth with Vanek was I think 5 or 6, and the Max goal was 3.

74 degrees and clear in Vegas at 8pm...

I added some comments in the "october movies" thread but yea I agree, thought it was great. Pretty much classic Scorsese. Very good acting performances all around. And the theatre was almost entirely full.

Just saw The Departed, thought it was great. Very much a Scorsese like-film, although not as blood soaked as say GoodFellas or Casino. Overall I thought very good film, great acting of course, Damon and DiCaprio are actually convincing as tough, mean guys. And Alec Baldwin provides great comic relief, believe it or not. Highly recommend the film. The theatre was nearly full, too.
