  1. And it amazes me that a few people apparently would have been happier had Bledsoe thrown four interceptions and the Bills lost this game, just so they could feel that their point had been validated.
  2. Yeah, its a damn shame that he played well today.
  3. Indeed, it seems that we've arrived at a point where the Bledsoe-haters are making excuses when he plays well. Sigh...
  4. While I think it would be a big mistake to trade Henry (I'm still worried about McGahee's durability, not to mention that its nice having two very capable RBs), the fact that he didn't play today makes me wonder if something isn't up. There were times when we could have used him and he's played with worse injuries before. Perhaps there is a trade in the works.
  5. No politics? OK, then Kerry won't even bother visiting the church. For some reason, I don't think this is going to go over too well with religious voters. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6248789/
  6. This rumor has been making the rounds and it doesn't appear to be true. In fact, Bush has a scheduled campaign stop in NJ Monday. You'll find proof of that in the right hand column on the following site, in the section dealing with the poll. http://www.politicsnj.com/ I don't immediately have anything regarding Bush's visits/ads in Pennsylvania, but given that I think everyone would consider him much more likely to win there than in New Jersey, he's probably not pulling out there, either. BTW, here's a much better article detailing his Monday NJ visit: http://www.nj.com/news/bridgeton/local/ind...18473155771.xml
  7. Well, its about FRIGGIN' time Bledsoe even looked at him. Why the Bills haven't been trying to get him more involved in this offense is beyond me.
  8. Having a high draft pick next year would be nice, but lets not forget that had the Bills not traded for Losman, they probably would have drafted a QB in R1 in 2005, anyway. As it stands, we essentially made that pick a year early at the cost of a couple of picks this spring.
  9. Yup, Edwards got it handed to him tonight. I thought he put up a good effort, but it was not much of a contest. Cheney far outclassed him, especially on a night where the VP was clearly at the top of his game.
  10. There's a Yankees game on tonight?
  11. Edwards is doing better than Kerry, but he still stinks. I'd rather see a Cheney/Lieberman ticket, in no particular order. In fact, I've often said that this conservative Republican probably would've voted for Lieberman over Bush had the Dems not kicked him to the curb this spring.
  12. Cheney is hammering Edwards. That said, I doubt enough people are watching this thing for it to make any kind of difference. The sad thing is that I now believe both of these guys are actually better candidates for their parties than either Bush or Kerry. Granted, its not necessarily because they're all that great themselves (although Cheney is giving a very good accounting of himself and his positions tonight).
  13. Well, technically he may have started yesterday, but in reality, I doubt he was on the field for more than half the plays.
  14. You'd think they could see the obvious, wouldn't you? At any rate, in his first game with substantial playing time, he had a very good outing. I think we'll be seeing a lot more of Lee Evans in the coming weeks. If he can continue this, combined with Reed's continued struggles, it wouldn't suprise me to see him starting opposite Moulds in another month.
  15. While Henry's face plant into the turf certainly was his fault, I can't blame him for the fourth down play. Calling a play where the QB must turn his back to the LOS is a recipe for disaster in that situation.
  16. Guys, you know what's truly frightening? Right now, Ryan Denney is looking like the best pick from the first five rounds of that draft class! Sure, he's a borderline starter, but at least he doesn't make the highlight reel five times a game for making stupid mistakes.
  17. I think Kerry is the big loser here.. While his presentation skills were clearly superior to Bush's, I do think he left a lot to be desired in terms of content. The specific details were few and far between. He really needed to give people a reason to vote for him, and he didn't do that tonight. This was a wasted opportunity in that regard. Meanwhile, Bush just needed to avoid the big mistake, which he did, and I think he put Kerry on the defensive a few times. Kerry also had one statement tonight that could really come back to bite him in the ass, that being his remark that pre-emptive strikes should pass some sort of global test. If Bush chooses to pounce on it (and judging from his response in the debate, I think his campaign will be all over it), it could be catastrophic for Kerry. He and the Dems already has significant problems on the issue of national defense and this statement will certainly be used by the Bush administration to paint him as a far left candidate who will outsource US defense to the UN.
  18. What is Bledsoe supposed to do? Catch the ball for Josh Reed?
  19. You really don't need that powerful of a graphics card to play the game and play it well, unless you insist on the absolute highest detail levels at a ridiculous screen resolution. If that's what you're going for, its going to cost you, but the game looks good enough that dropping down to 1024x768 with still high image quality settings is more than enough for most users. The high end cards of the last generation, such as the Radeon 9800 pro and Geforce 5900, should give you that much. They're not exactly cheap at just under $200, but that's far more acceptable than buying the latest and greatest. As a side note, although I haven't played either one yet (new PC with standard Geforce 6800 is due to arrive any day now), I think the screenshots I've seen of Far Cry look better than Doom 3.
  20. There's plenty of evidence that they're fake. Its all a matter of whether one finds that evidence credible or not. Personally, I think the fact that I can (and have) make an exact copy of it using my MS word at default settings, among other issues, is pretty damning, at least to me. Equally damaging is the fact that everyone who knew Killian first hand and are some way tied to this story appear to be denying their authenticity. Its not a closed-case just yet, but to this point, I'm fairly convinced that they are fake. My gut feeling on it is that this was cooked up by some low-level DNC staffer (with some pretty marginal forgery skills, I might add) who thought he/she/it would be doing the party a big favor. I actually don't hold it against the Kerry campaign or the DNC for that reason (I haven't seen any evidence yet that anyone at the top was involved), but I suspect it will hurt them.
  21. And if that's not enough, this should probably put the final nail in this story's coffin: http://www.kansas.com/mld/kansas/news/spec...004/9633814.htm?
  22. Here's a little more fuel to the fire. It appears that CBS may have been manipulating some of the people involved. At the very least, here's one that feels 'misled': http://abcnews.go.com/sections/politics/No.../Noted_Now.html Hey CBS... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
  23. OK, so if these are indeed forgeries, should CBS have to reveal the source?
