Ahh, spoken like a true prodigy. BTW, I sent you a PM. Check it out.

It'll be another calculated risk that works out for the Pats, as usual.

Before his injury, Scott was one of the best defensive players the Steelers had. Ever since, he's been a shell of his former self. Maybe as a nickel/dime back, he'd be okay, but not as a starter.

Nope. Nothing wrong with it. I admit, I don't cry very often, but I do cry at times. My brother is a reporter for the Erie Times, and when I got married, he did an editorial piece about my wedding called "Hurricane Wasn't Enough To Stop A Brother's Wedding Day Tears". My wedding was 2 days after Hurricane Floyd hit our area, and he made mention of the difficulties he had in driving from Erie to Baltimore the same day Floyd was hitting Maryland. He said it was worth it to see my cry after the minister announced my wife and I. Even my wife got into the act, bragging that she waited 12 years for those tears, etc. To me, it's not a big deal, though.

There's nothing wrong with tearing up at a movie. Some movies just have that effect on people.

Life is Beautiful is very good. Depressing, but VERY good, significantly better than Shakespeare In Love.

Again, we just have a difference of opinion on some topics. When I mentioned Scent of a Woman, in addition to the movie being awful, I also believe Pacino's performance is subpar. It's over the top in a Jim Carrey-ish sort of way, beneath his considerable acting talents. He can do great, understated work (see Heat). There are many, obviously, who thought he was good in Scent of a Woman. That's fine. I didn't. Like I said, I'll be on the lookout for The Patriot.

I did see Shakespeare in Love (vastly overrated) and The Full Monty (good movie), but I haven't seen The Patriot yet. Maybe I'll catch it on one of the premium channels some time.

Hopefully they'll concentrate on interior OL. Until the line is upgraded, we shouldn't look anywhere else. OL pass rush depth at CB then.... backup QB backup RB Maybe some of those needs will be taken care of in free agency (let's hope). If so, that frees up some draft picks to look in other areas.

It suits you.

You can still take that minute if you need it.

'Talent' being the operative word, right?

Must you be?

Of the nominees for Best Actor that year: Russell Crowe -- A Beautiful Mind {"John Nash"} Sean Penn -- I Am Sam {"Sam Dawson"} Will Smith -- Ali {"Muhammad Ali"} Denzel Washington -- Training Day {"Alonzo"} Tom Wilkinson -- In the Bedroom {"Matt Fowler"} I had no problem with Denzel winning it. I also would've been okay w/Russell Crowe getting it. Will Smith was great in Ali, but I thought Jamie Foxx was just as good playing Bundini Brown in that movie and should've been nominated. Speaking of the supporting actors, I saw Iris and thought it was a good movie and Broadbent was good in the role, but I thought he was better in Moulin Rouge that year. I also thought Ethan Hawke was great in Training Day and was just as good as Denzel was. As far as the actress race went: Halle Berry -- Monster's Ball {"Leticia Musgrove"} Judi Dench -- Iris {"Iris Murdoch"} Nicole Kidman -- Moulin Rouge {"Satine"} Sissy Spacek -- In the Bedroom {"Ruth Fowler"} Renée Zellweger -- Bridget Jones's Diary {"Bridget Jones"} That one could've just as easily gone to Renee Zellweger for Bridget Jones' Diary or Nicole Kidman for Moulin Rouge. All 3 were very good. Judi Dench was okay in Iris, nothing special though.

Have you ever seen "Nick of Time"? Not a higly heralded film, but Depp was pretty damn good in it. We picked it up on DVD real cheap somewhere.

We have to agree to disagree here. I thought it was an awful movie. To each his own.

Oh wait, I forgot another all-time Oscar screw job: Ordinary People was Best Picture in 1980, but Raging Bull is hailed as the best film of the 1980s?????

Scent of a Woman?????!!!!!!! Perhaps one of the worst performances Pacino was nominated for, and I'm including his role as Big Boy Caprice in Dick Tracy.

Don't be too harsh on sandwiches. Still, you could learn to cook a little. It's nice to be able to prepare your own meals every now and then.

Ever since they screwed Spielberg for The Color Purple, then really jobbed Denzel Washington for Malcolm X, they've had zero credibility for me.

They owe it all to Antowain. He was their X factor.

This all happens after we've acquired Orlando Pace and Mike Wahle for the OL, right?

Isn't this the part of the thread where someone asks whether the Bills should sign him? After all, he is a free agent.

No prob, buddy. Now, let's go get our skateboards and head to the mall.

Duuuuude, that commercial was sweet! Awesome! It was da bomb!!
