if you havent read them yet, the "Deep Winter" Series by Thomas Sherry is pretty great...its a trilogy...Deep Winter, Remnant and Shatter (I cant recall their order though, google it haha) - a man and his family deal with the "end of the modern world" b/c of disasters/war etc....fairly realistic also, one of my fave. was "Patriots" by a guy named Rawles...very good as well - group of survival friends buy and stock a "retreat" in Idaho, and when TSHTF they bug out to there, very cool if you have already read those let me know, i know loads : ) (also if you havent read or seen the movie, The Road by Cormac Mccarthy is a dark portrayal for sure, but im sure your familiar) ooohh ohhh, also "The Jakarta Pandemic" - Steven Konkoly - family/mostly father, deals with what happens in their community when flu overtakes the world, excellently written book

im trying to figure out your avatar....its either A) a reeealllly flat chested woman B)a reealllyyy young girl C) a very bad angle of either A or B????

honestly, I dont think they would...but as to why they MIGHT or why there is at least speculation is b/c its Waynes last year in his contract, colts cant afford to pay him after this year, they are sucking mightily this year and having Wayne doesnt really help their AWFUL football team....so why not get something for him? But again, I doubtttttt this happens

read it as well, haha....ive pretty much exhausted the "Classics" of the genre...reading more modern stuff now...appreciate the effort though

so maybe you meant the top of the 2009 draft class was weak?

quick question for you/your cousin....has he said anything about having to compete with Delaware's favorite son, Dogfish head?

excellent book, love post-apocolyptic fiction, favorite genre...

agreed, KC sucks and we dismantled them from the first kickoff - sooo, maybe not the best indicator of how we fare on the road, but at least the young bills team rose to the occassion and dominated KC AT Cinci - we sucked all day and still had a chance/could have/should have won - but didnt.... This week will truly be telling as to how bad this Bills team wants it, and how they respond on the road in a tough environment...I see the giants as "middle of the road" team, who sometimes comes to play on offense but is bad on defense (pass rush aside, which sometimes is enough to win games) and will be a good test for this team, really hope they come to play from the first kick...

ABSOLUTELY LOVE the "drafting a whitner" quote in your sig...I will certainly start using it in my everyday vernacular

aside from several missed blocks in the run game during the 2nd quarter i was IMPRESSED with the Rook's play all day long he also got some good help (by design obvs.) by RBs and TEs in many passing situations which helped his "slowness"

the only thing that scares me about the Giants is their pass rush the most effective way to neutralize a potent pass rush? draw plays and screens, something we have done very successfully (and something chan has always done successfully in his career)....i think we can look for another HUGE day from Fred Eli, I do believe, is a solid QB other than the fact he makes STUPID plays (especially when they count) - and what does this years Bills D specialize in? Taking advantage of QB's STUPID plays... Bills 34 Giants 21

haha, dune buggy....didnt even know those were real (not trying to make light of your sons injury whatsoever)

hahaha, Endicott is my hometown (where this story is from)....awesomeeee, what a place to grow up!

THIS! a man with my same thought process haha, hide the alcoholism!! haha

chan doesnt award contracts, that would be the Front Office

when Williams was out I thought I saw a LOT more of Dareus at nose with carrington/edwards at DE...i dont mind that lineup as much as I mind Heard/Troup in at NT...

congrats indeed! love self promoting threads!! thumbs up man! hope all is well and healthy...

he would go a long way towards winning me over if he has a solid day against the eagles, and particularly Mike Vick....what scares me almost more than Vick is Shady McCoy....who do we have that can shadow him and make sure he doesnt catch 10 balls for 150 plus yards outta the backfield? especially with how crappy we have played against the screen game this season....THAT worries me to no end...

he will probably be the 1st DB off the board...do we want to be that team/will we have the opp. to be that team?

on a crazy IPA kick right now, trying to try them all...have already tried a lot in my years but am revisiting now....post your fave IPA (thats India Pale Ale) for those who are really newbs to the burr world.. Few of my Faves: - Dogfish Head 60 min IPA (and obviously their 120 min) - Stone IPA - Saranac IPA Please divulge!

does anyone know for sure what an NFL official's yearly schedule actually consists of? And how much they are paid?

pretty sure Ralphs lawyers already have all that outlined, its all already in the lawbooks, and Ralphie pays a good buck to have his estate planned Not to mention Al is just turning over control of the team to his son Mark I believe, so it will stay in the family, which Ralph has already said is NOT his plan, he will sell....

we also passed on David Harris that year too (when we took Poz) I believe....that ole saying about hindsight though...oh well

why hasent anyone said the obvious, maybe its not a new owner they are announcing (b/c like others mentioned, no way Ralph sells the team when hes alive), maybe they are announcing who the new owner(team of owners) WILL be when Ralph dies, like a succession plan....that makes more sense

laught all you want at their slogan, but their hotdogs do honestly taste like they are from a higher authority
