ICanSleepWhenI'mDead

He's dead - - so if I was him I'd literally be asleep.

Well, I don't know about kicking him in the a$$, but stimulating the posterior portion of his superior temporal sulcus might help: http://www.psych-it.com.au/Psychlopedia/article.asp?id=416

It's been frustrating to watch McKelvin cover receivers well, and then fail at the "Moment of Truth" as he watches the nearby receiver catch a ball right next to him. Turns out, there may be a scientific explanation for this - - if you're curious about it, read this link: http://news.yahoo.com/athletes-minds-excel-motion-tracking-145606624.html The article explains that professional athletes excel at 3-D motion tracking (in comparison to other population groups). They also have a thicker part of the brain called the "superior temporal sulcus." While it is unclear if innate ability or experience explains the differences among people, all groups can improve their 3-D motion tracking with visual training. Seems to me like: 1. the Bills should see if McKelvin could benefit from such visual training exercises; and 2. the Bills should test DBs and receivers for this ability before drafting them.

The news reaches Toronto mayor Rob Ford: http://postmediacana...60&h=330&crop=1 Seriously, though, the guy's passion for football almost got him kicked out of office: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/toronto/rob-ford-to-remain-as-toronto-mayor-lawyer-to-appeal-to-supreme-court/article7848448/

I don't think the OP thought this through. If we're gonna be the first to do this, why should we use the #8 overall pick? Nix has a demonstrated history of treating 7th round picks like trash - - case in points: (1) Jasper will be available as an undrafted free agent, but we decided to just go ahead and use our 7th round pick on him anyway; and (b) we trade our 7th round pick to move up two spots in the third round to take a North Carolina track sprinter who can't catch. I can see Nix figuring "What the he[[, 7th round picks aren't worth anything anyway, so let's use this year's to move up two spots in the third round and take Johnny Football" - - that way we know we get a legit #8 overall player and STILL get a shot at Manziel - - if we get slapped harder than expected for cheating at least we would have the other guy guy we picked at #8. We can pay Manziel extra and have his contract ready to go no matter what round we draft him in, so why not move up to take him in the third? You know the Pats would do it this way.

The DOJ may regulate baseball trades after the Curt Flood case years ago, but it has nothing to do with football trades. Besides, I thought you wanted to draft the guy, not trade for him. Make up your mind.

Isn't that the squad from our last playoff appearance?

Thanks for the tip. I badly sprained an ankle recently, and although I'm finally back to walking normally, it hasn't felt strong enough to get back to playing basketball yet. I've never used an ankle brace, but based on the reviews in your link, I will definitely check this one out.

I may do that if I can't find something with better ankle support.

Aberrently, some people from Virginia think I have a far too cavalier attitude about the outcome of the Virginia - Chaminade game.

Darlene says that if William Shatner was our GM, he could have hired Kirstie Alley to be Aaron Maybin's strength and conditioning coach. There is no doubt she could have put some meat on his bones. Just compare her svelte role with Shatner in "Wrath of Khan" with the whale who later was on "Dancing With The Stars." All she had to do was put him on her own diet, and the guy would now be able to set the edge and not just run around people. Maybe the Bengals will hire her: http://www.profootballweekly.com/2013/01/25/bengals-sign-olb-maybin

Athletic footwear - - I went shopping for shoes for playing basketball last month. Went in several stores in a local mall. My choices were cheap plasticy stuff that felt like it would last a week, or super expensive neon colored stuff with some NBA player's endorsement. I don't want a fashion statement, I want something functional that will last. My play does the talking, not my shoes. Hey, somebody's on my lawn!

So you don't drive it?

Ralph has it.

I'm confused and my head hurts - - if the girl isn't dead, then she must be alive (assuming you don't believe in zombies). But if she's alive, then Manti may be secretly laughing somewhere that the joke is on all of us, 'cause we think she's fake, when she's really not. So which is it? As a non-caring, unbiased, neutral observer maybe you can point me in the right direction on this.

You may be doing it wrong!

You knew it was coming: http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-just-want-to-apologize-to-manti-teo-for-what-i-p,30948/ The reality of the news story is more strange than The Onion stuff - - how messed up is that?

I figure Ray Lewis' mom already volunteered to do this years ago.

Wonder how long it will take to get a Samoan head coach in the NFL?

Hard to keep up with this thread, but haven't seen this posted: http://rumorfix.com/...s-diane-omeara/ Link shows a picture of a woman, and below it states: Also separately saw my local TV news identify Diane O'Meara tonight as the woman in the hoax picture. Edit: The "rumorfix" link got one of the details wrong - - Diane went to school in CA with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, not with Manti Te'o. But Diane O'Meara is the woman in the hoax picture.

The TV reporter I saw wasn't specific, but it's at least possible that he's no longer a student at all, much less a "FULL TIME STUDENT."Edit: Saw another TV news story that showed a short video of him in a golf cart at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL where some athletes go to prepare for the combine - - didn't say one way or the other whether he was still enrolled at Notre Dame.

Maybe not - - I saw a local TV sports reporter tonight say that Manti is already in Florida now at one of those outfits that helps guys prepare for the NFL combine.

Ron White agrees:
