NFL.com headline article says they plan to stream the schedule announcement but only video links are all canned segments (was nice to find those though). Anyone see where the link to the feed is? BTW vote for our buddy Cleo Lemon as the most likely fin starting QB if you go to the site.

We get them in December and just as important they don't get us in the 100% Humidity / 100 Degree season. Plus stone crabs are in season. About time the schedule coin landed right.

If Imus is smart he will have two numbers for his marathon. One to keep him and one to can him. Both sides will want to be the winner and either way the ranch profits.

Actually you would be paying him for the privilege of being his offsite backup storage facility.

Still available for Friday, June 1 8pm show at Turning Stone. Tix are $70. http://www.turningstone.com/calendar/

I agree that you can usually just ignore most deadlines but this is the first year I've gotten a call that my tix would be gone if I did not make a payment by 4/2. I'm sure that it is possible probably probable that you can put them off as long as Senator (Hillary or Schmoozer ) but you have to luck out that no one grabs them on the open stadium seat pick'n day and in this case that none of the tickets (already turned into individual game types) had been purchased.

Was he wearing his new cap?

Some truth in that but back in the day most govt jobs were for slugs that couldn't get one anywhere else. Pay was not up to par and SS not included. And a teaching degree was the last resort before flunking out of college. Thanks to politicians, lazy voters, greedy unions and courts that require salary be tied to the size of the cities coffers and the downsizing revolution in the real world the tide has turned. Gotta live with the choice, sure. But at smart one at the time, not so much.

ONLY! $31K is probably more than the mean salary in Buffalo.

And every fugger that sucks the goverment's tit at the local, state and federal level.

Saw a news item about 250" in 72 being the record for Oswego. Brought back memoriies of getting around the Oswego campus in 72 (affectionately known as SUCO back then). The banks were cut like a corn maze and you needed signs at the intersections to know where you were. Of course the path to the Bridge St bars was always the first one done.

[Oh, the thread is finally back on topic. ] True, and things are already moving that way. Moonves's (CBS Pres) keynote at the CEA addressed the RIAA's methodology and it's failure both monetarily and in PR. His approach is to accept the fact that your product is not secure and to go from there. CBS has partnered with Slingbox (founder was there and showed new product that is designed to let you grab a video segment and email it to a friend) and YouTube (kid who founded it talked also). CBS also has created an online community where a game is displayed online and surrounded with 6 - 10 webcams creating a virtual living room where a group can watch and talk about the game (demo was participants from last years NCAA BB final commenting on their thoughts during a replay of the last minute of the game). The idea came from Opie and Anthony's webcam community (had them there also). Don't believe you can rationaize piracy but it is a fact. The RIAA may win some battles but will lose the war.

Wait I thought we were talking RIAA, not DTV. (and isn't it 800).

For the past 10 years at least I have ignored the partial dates and just paid the total sometime in May. They mail you the date that you will lose the tickets but usually extend it. Keep your money and let them sweat it out a bit. The ticket office deserves it.

Don't agree that she should be judged by supermodel standards when she is currently a talk show host but don't agree that those commenting have to meet the criteria they are judging her by. Following your logic only those of us that can perform as well as [insert Bill's Player bashee of the week here] should comment on their performance.

Doing the big nasty with belichick.

Thanks for the fix. The tiebreaker used to be the averaged MNF point total but that got wacked when you resorted by points after the week was dropped. Damn, I'll drop back again once that is done. [Hey my spell checker is working again.]

Don't bother. For me Firefox crashes are becoming worse with each FF upgrade. They must know it is happening because they added an option to reload the crashed session or start a new one (a lifesaver if you never bookmarked some new pages). I don't get crashes with TDB but notice that auto refreshing sites (like http://cbs.sportsline.com/nfl) seem to be the worse culprits. Also worse if the HD that supplies the VM gets below 2 GB. BTW: I lost spell checking after the upgrade. Anyone know how to turn it back on? Also the quick forum pull down menu at the bottom of the page doesn't wait for the GO button anymore.

Discover Card has a deal that comes by every so often that gives you 0% interest for life. No purchases are necessary for a year and then 2 -3 monthly after. Paid off an $11K loan and put the money in a CD for the year. Still TBD if there areany major gotchas when the year is up (besides first in; first paid). Have to diligent though. They have a minimum payment with autopay from a checking account but you need to set it every month.

Better buy some strong tape for Ralph's yapper.

If you go to the Standings tab and click on any user name it gives you the week by week points for each of the 17 weeks. No weeks are omitted and if you sum the points they equal what is displayed.

Fins stadium has some wierd kinks also. For some reason they put in walls along certain levels with no warning that there is a dead end. Got caught one year in a jam remenicient of the band scene in Animal House. Literally .

Actually (to beat the dead horse one more time) if the stated preseason rules were in effect and one game was dropped you would have the same points as themadcap.

Lobbying CBS may help but the NFL is the real culprit by not mandating HD coverage in it's TV contract. Both should be emailed. BTW: CBS President Moonves will be a keynote speaker at the CES next month. Bring your signs.
