  1. Anyone happen to notice Bob hasn't come near this thread. " Hey Bob, organize a party for us. We're all coming ". Bob is wise.
  2. Old Lady " Young man, could you help me cross the street ? " Crook " What's in it for me ? Talk to my agent. " Go America !
  3. " NewsChannel 9 visited Michael Crook's website, and there’s one interesting note to pass along: Crook notes that his site is sponsored by an organization called "Citizens Against the Troops." " Nice. :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
  4. Moore was on The Steelers staff for the last 13-14 years of the Chuck Noll era, picking up a couple of SB rings. Was the OC for many years. He even made Scott Mitchell look good for a couple years in Detroit in the mid 90's, when Mitchell had a couple 4,000 yard seasons. Herman Moore and Brett Perriman both had 100 catch seasons. Jim Mora hired Moore to run the Colts Offense. When Dungy was hired, he retained Moore.
  5. Comparing him to anyone is silly. He has proven nothing. The Coaches want him back in Februray to spend months working at OBD, on film and reps in the Wilson Fieldhouse. That is NOT the norm for the entire roster. Most Vets will show up for 2-3 mini-camps and will work out at the stadium, if they live local. Otherwise, they have far more time off. The message is clear. The Bills wish to see how Losman responds and whether he can be ready, come summer camp. It's up to him to realize he has an opportunity and to seize it.
  6. I believe it. But that doesn't change the lack of TV ratings and revenue. I'm sure the Rangers, Red Wings and a few other teams are sold out every night also. Look how well the League is doing, as a whole.
  7. I have stated my position on Bledsoe ( thumbs down ) and will no longer participate in threads ripping on him. The horse is dead. I did find out some info from someone who has a source at OBD. Losman was told to go home and relax for 3-4 weeks, then return to OBD in February to start working heavily with the Coaches. Read into it any way you want.
  8. I agree with the salary cap concession but big TV revenue ? The ratings exist in Canada but are invisable in the U.S. Since I was a kid in the 1960's, NBC,CBS and ABC have all given the NHL a good shot and have been burned by low ratings, no matter what time they tried broadcasting games . ESPN was recently receiving ratings less than 1 % ( each point = 800k homes, supposedly ). In short, the United States doesn't care about watching hockey. Hell, fake wrestling on Monday receives a 4 in the ratings. So how can the NHL justify a salary above 2 Mil a year ? They can't. Any wonder why the lower bowl Sabres tickets are $75 a game ? Who the hell would pay that for a Tuesday night game, with the players not even hustling most nights ? The season is too long and many players pace themselves, saving energy for the playoffs. I've gone during mid-week and witness only 40-50% of the seats being used. Terrible. I hope the NHL starts from scratch. Shorter seasons. Lower salaries. More affordable ( realistic ) ticket prices. They have waaaay too high an opinion of themselves and live with a fantasy notion that they are a major sport. They're not and the TV ratings in the States prove it .
  9. Sent him and e-mail and received one back. Turns out he's from Buffalo and a fromer Bills season ticket holder. He was writing in frustration as a Bills fan. May explain his tone.
  10. Substitute "was" for "is" .
  11. Fantasy Island is a bargain. Take my young daughter and her friends a few times each summer. It's still good.
  12. Yes. Yes I can.
  13. After seeing what Winfield received in FA, it will be tough to sign Nate to a cap friendly deal. We'll see.
  14. Thick skin. The Steelers last won a SB 25 years ago, which finished off the most dominating 6 years ( 4 SB wins ) I ever saw from an NFL team. From the early 1930's to the early 1970's, the Steelers were the least successful team in professional sports. Since 1981, they have specialized in losing playoff home games they are favored in. I guess this young smacktard forgot, or never learned, his teams history. Responsible, balanced journalism doesn't sell anymore.
  15. After reading 10 Randy Moss postings, I see your thread is making quite the impression. . I agree with you but some will do anything for a LAMP.
  16. Much like Holmgren, this guy cannot win without a big QB carrying his team. Both Coaches are not looking good.
  17. I'm getting action this weekend. Wife likes wine and that means fun for me. What you guys are talking about, I have no interest in.
  18. I'm not so sure TD and Ralph do know this. The off-season will answer those questions.
  19. Thank You. If the Steelers Kicker doesn't re-sign ( Kris Brown ), go after him. He'd be a huge upgrade.
  20. Marty Schottenheimer would lead his Cleveland, KC teams to a good regular season record, then lose at home in the playoffs. Usually went ultra conservative and couldn't score more than 3 or 7 points,when favored. Will be interesting if he can change his ways tonight against the Jets.
  21. Agreed. Theisman is still twice as bad. Mike Patrick stated Seattle need to make something happen soon, with under 4 minutes left in the game ( 4 minutes were left in the 3rd Quarter ). This is the best you can do for an announcing staff ?
  22. And you'll admit to using it for that ?
  23. Another Superman flick ? Gah...what next ? Rocky VIII, Fighting Memory Loss ?
  24. Wear it with a hockey mask and roam the streets. No need for a chainsaw. Your Boston neighborhood would be sufficently terrorized.
