Mike In Illinois

I was wondering about Kendall Simmons as well. I didn't focus on his play while he was healthy last season so I don't know if he played well. I'd like to see the Bills contact him and sign him if he's healthy. It also doesn't hurt that I'm friends with his cousin and might be able to score tickets to Bills games.

I voted for 'Appetite' although there's merits for both albums. 'Nevermind' was a refreshing break from the "Hair Band/Hair Metal" music of the late '80s- of which G 'n' R associated with. I was in High School when 'Nevermind' came out and it ushered in Grunge to the mainstream. I think this album is more impactful to kids who were looking for something new. (I never owned the album) 'Appetite' is a top-to-bottom tour de force, IMO. I originally had the cassette and songs like 'My Michelle', 'Mr. Brownstone' and 'Paradise City' just kicked my @$$ with the sounds from Slash, Steven Adler, Axl and the rest put out. As 5th-grader it was the best; G 'n' R may have been lumped into the Hair category but their music set them apart from the others- in a way ushering in Nirvana, STP, Pearl Jam, etc. a few years later.

Putting out the "Bat Signal" for nevergiveup on this one.

I don't think this will end well......

We should target Jake 'The Snake' Roberts. Are you with me Roddy Piper?

Don't mix the Molson with the No Doze out there at OBD! By the way, Tim Graham commented on his ESPN chat that there may not be much FA activity for the Bills because Buddy Nix likes to build through the draft. Of course, as soon as I say this they sign ________________________.

Oakland could sign him and let him compete with JaMarcus!

Did you obtain some Canadian refreshments while in Vancouver/Whistler?

"Git 'er done, Budday!" (not happening)

At least I have the St. Louis Cardinals to provide some winning seasons and playoff appearances for me! (No, I am not Cowher Power/BF, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn)

+1

Hey, the Blues won again last night! Five in a row!

Joe Isuzu, anyone?

Does anyone know if 'nevergiveup' would have insight on signings? I personally remain skeptical (will not believe) any posts about player movement until I hear something from media sources or our TBD inside source.

....with recent playoff appearances (including the Super Bowl) over the past 10 years as a slight difference. BTW, how'd that Darwin Walker deal work out for Chi-Town?

How about the prison walls?

That's a real p!$$3r.

Isn't "the end is neigh" the mindset of all non-Redskin, non-Cowboy fans when we hear their names attached to the top Free Agents? Spending the most money on FA's doesn't mean wins- coaching goes a long way towards that, although Washington would seemingly have a good coach in place. I don't think the sky is falling........ yet.

My past career took me to the Playboy Mansion to interview Hugh Hefner. He is an alum of the University of Illinois and I got the chance to videotape an interview with him during the Fighting Illini's trip to the Rose Bowl during the 2007 season. (My profile picture is of me and Doug Flutie on the fields before the Rose Bowl). Tipped back a few beers with Tony Stewart and Matt Yocum when Stewart came to Central Illinois to race at a track he's a co-owner of (with Kenny Wallace and Ken Schrader). Real down-to-earth guy and loves Schlitz beer. My wife's current job allowed me to sit down to dinner with UFC Hall of Famer Matt Hughes last spring, one month before his fight with Matt Serra.

Let's Twist Again

Deadspin suggests maybe it had more to do with Chris Berman.

I agree that NBC is doing a poor job of broadcasting the Games, however they beat the 'unbeatable' American Idol on Wednesday night so people are tuning in. If you're going to pay $800 million on these Olympics then broadcast them on the main channel during the day. If an event is worthy of rebroadcast in prime time then do it. Today Show, Days of Our Lives (my wife watches) and syndicated programming cannot be that important ($$) to bump these semi-annual events to CNBC, MSNBC and USA.

I can say I've met Tony Stewart away from NASCAR (co-owns several dirt tracks across the Midwest, including one about an hour from me) and he's a nice guy. He's very friendly and a down-to-earth guy who doesn't take his fame too seriously. I hope he bags a 500 because I don't want to see that be a mark on his racing career.
