That's what I got from this episode. No way is it logical to follow the desperate pleas of someone trying to get his son back at all costs. It would be different if he just wanted five of them to go, but to actually name the other four and one of them is the big fat guy instead of an experienced Sayid and Jack just says they'll do it his way. The show lost me right there.

Don't forget to stay away from buying a Jetta or Sunfire (and for women, don't buy Suzukis or Subarus).

I remember in before the playoffs started, I think he took Ottawa, but he did say watch out for the Hurricanes they could be a dark horse.

Although I really think Buffalo will win, I picked against them in the first two rounds and they won, so I'll pick against them again. Carolina in 7 Edmonton in 6

I'll be there, not quite sure of the seats yet. Buying the tix off a friend of mine at work who's a Canes season ticket holder.

I don't know anyone that totally dropped the Sabres to be Canes fans. I'm a big Canes fan, but in no way will they ever replace my love for the Sabres.

So it is your fault!

Have you heard anything yet on when tix might go on sale? If the 'Canes clinch Saturday, would it be Sunday or Monday?

If TC was in mor eof an upright position he would have been caught squarely in the chest. Because he crouched a bit, maybe bracing for the blow, as it looked like he saw it at the last second, he took the brunt of it in the jaw. I don't think there was anything deliberate about it.

Here goes nothing and I hope I'm wrong. Round 2 (Conference Semi-Final) Matchups: Eastern Conference 1 Ottawa vs 4 Buffalo - Ottawa in 7 2 Carolina vs 3 New Jersey - New Jersey in 6 Western Conference 5 San Jose vs 8 Edmonton - San Jose in 7 6 Anaheim vs 7 Colorado - Colorado in 6

I did not have an original entry, so if you're opening the contest back up, here are my picks: Sep 10 @New England LOSS Sep 17 @Miami - LOSS Sep 24 N.Y. Jets - WIN Oct 1 Minnesota - WIN Oct 8 @Chicago - LOSS Oct 15 @Detroit- LOSS - only because its on the road Oct 22 New England - LOSS Nov 5 Green Bay - WIN Nov 12 @Indianapolis - LOSS Nov 19 @Houston - LOSS Nov 26 Jacksonville - LOSS Dec 3 San Diego - WIN - Against Rivers in OP, we should be able to rattle him enough. Dec 10 @N.Y. Jets - LOSS Dec 17 Miami - WIN Dec 24 Tennessee - WIN Dec 31 @Baltimore - LOSS That makes it 6-10, not getting my hopes up high this year.

I thought he would have jumped off a bridge by now. Figured the first couple of picks were too much for even for him.

They probably wanted D'Brick. They knew he'd be gone at 4 with the Jests, so they wanted to get ahead of them and they doubted Tennessee would move, knowing the Titans wanted a QB or would have taken Bush if he got past 2.

Don't know if this was mentioned in earlier threads and I sure as hell am not going to read through every post to find out. But Marv was on Sirius yesterday, and said he was offered a trade down for the 8th pick but they would not offer enough for where the Bills would have ended up picking. Marv would not mentioned who the team was. Just because a team wants to trade down does not mean that you can automatically find a willing trade partner. There's two sides to a trade, if you can't find a partner you can't trade.

There's got to be someone who would want to get ahead of Detroit and Arizona that would want him. Trading down would be the thing to do if he's still there.

Now that is the opposite of what happened to me. I was always able to get the tope movies from Netflix, but with Blockbuster, they never had anything available.

That could be very true and a new twist to the draft. Now with Favre announcing his return, they may think of getting him the outlet receiver he needs. That could screw up some draft boards.

The 'niners have so many holes to fill, the more top picks they have the better. They are one team that can go for best available athlete and it would be someone they need (other than QB, give Smith a chance).

My sister tutored him and many other athletes at FSU and she said Rix was the dumbest of the lot. Everyone else she made great progress with but Rix was impossible.

Eastern Conference 1 Ottawa vs 8 Tampa Bay - Ottawa in 5 2 Carolina vs 7 Montreal - Carolina in 6 3 New Jersey vs 6 NY Rangers - New Jersey in 6 4 Buffalo vs 5 Philadelphia - Buffalo in 5 Western Conference 1 Detroit vs 8 Edmonton - Detroit in 4 2 Dallas vs 7 Colorado - Dallas in 6 3 Calgary vs 6 Anaheim - Anaheim in 7 4 Nashville vs 5 San Jose - San Jose in 6

Several things can happen with tonights games. Buffalo can end up playing NJ, NY, or Philly. Buffalo plays Flyers if: Philly wins NY wins NJ Loses or Philly wins NY Loses NJ Wins Play the Devils if: NJ Wins NY Wins Philly Wins/Loses Play the Rangers if: NY Loses Philly Wins NJ Loses or NY Loses Philly Loses NJ Wins I didn't even get into Overtimes. Not worth the time to figure that out.

Knowing this group, if we get crushed by Carolina in the first preseason game there will be plenty of people calling for their heads already. Personally, seeing this is a rebuilding year, even though they won't officially call it that, I'll give them at least 2 years.

I'm going to be in town for the holidays and I am definitely going to the Christmas Eve game. In fact on my way home, maybe I'll swing by Baltimore and catch that game too, if possible. With those two games and the Carolina preseason game, I may see them 3 times this year. That would be the most since I had season tix before I left.
