  1. In the documentary they describe Herb Brooks' speech to his players in the break between the 2nd and 3rd periods of the Gold Medal game against Finland, with the US trailing 2-1.. Brooks left the dressing room at the beginning of the break and didn't return.The players and the asst. coaches thought he'd snapped and given up on them. Just seconds before they were to retake the ice, the door cracked open and Brooks stuck just his head inside. He glared at his team and said this: (maybe the greatest motivational speech ever delivered, with appologies to the Gipper) "If you lose this game, you'll carry it to your graves. To your fuc#ing graves!" US then scored 3 goals and won the gold medal 4-2.
  2. Obviously, but you're missing the point that the retreads don't seem to do any better elsewhere with any regularity. So, if you want your playoff QB you'd better invest a high draft pick in obtaining one.
  3. This quote is from an ESPN article on the Jets' pruning of their roster: This especially holds true for quality quarterbacks. The Jets' front office has studied this very closely, determining that only five winning quarterbacks (in their opinion) weren't drafted by their current team -- Drew Brees, Jay Cutler, Peyton Manning, Tony Romo and Matt Schaub. I know this draft appears bereft of quility QBs, but if the Bills braintrust (oxymoron?) believes there is a franchise guy there, they'd better grab him. Free Agency is not the answer. Great teams are built by drafting great QBs as step #1.

  5. I agree, my girlfriend is as easy-going as they come.
  6. I have such respect for a mind that can conceive of and create such an amazing piece of art. Way to go! :worthy:
  7. Fwiw, my girlfriend is a (very attractive, btw) Library Director and I can't believe how many guys have a librarian fetish. I used to date a former model and I have to run off more guys with the librarian.
  8. I assume that if the ratings are strong they will introduce a new cult leader each season (kinda like the Dexter formula for villains).

  10. Show is currently 4 episodes in. I've been watching and am still on the fence about the series. It is very graphic for network TV, close to HBO or Showtime level violence and gore. Has interesting Edgar Allen Poe/literary angle. Just wondering if anyone is watching and what you think?
  11. Was just about to post that this play was my favorite of McGee's career. The sad thing was that it came at the end of the 1st half and time expired and the Bills got no points out of it.
  12. NFL mulls storm back-up plans... What do you think, would a Super saturday be okay with you? http://espn.go.com/new-york/nfl/story/_/id/8940414/nfl-mulling-super-bowl-xlviii-backup-plans-report
  13. I heard, from a very reliable source, that the Bills are targeting the little-known Jeff Posey. (Set your alarm clock for 12:01 AM.)
  14. One of her tweets simply read: Naked. Wet. Stoned. Where were these teachers when i was a student?
  15. Put this in a redundant post by mistake: One of the all-time great opening lines to a column: "For once in his life, Ron Jeremy is not stiff yet." http://www.nydailynews.com/entertainment/gossip/porn-star-ron-jeremy-critical-condition-report-article-1.1251363

  17. Thanks, Brother. I fixed the link as well.
  18. I love all that have already been posted, but I am positive that I have the definitive answer. This scene proves why Jack Lemmon had no peers as an actor. It's from Robert Altman's "Short Cuts." (Great movie, btw.) In the scene he is explaining to his "son" about a decades old affair that he had on his wife with her sister. Take a moment and watch it and experience a true master at the very top of his game.
  19. A strange side note to the Blizzard is that many people equate it with the first ever TV mini-series, "Roots," as it made it's debut when most people were shut in with nothing else to do, but watch TV.
  20. Great pic, thanks for sharing. I was 12 when the Blizzard hit and what i remember most was that CB radios were all the rage. Our neighbor had a 4-WD Blazer and volunteered to make emergency runs. We kept in touch with him on the CB. I also remember being really proud of my community (NF) as there were so many stories of people helping each other.
  21. January 28th was the start of the worst storm in the region's history? Where were you on that fateful day?
  22. Could be that you're on to something Really, I love the way you think outside the box Another, lesser, person might not see it so clearly You, however, are not like the others Or you are too modest to take a rightful bow Not that anyone would blame you for taking credit where credit is due. Zapateado is what I hear when you lay your rhythms down at TSW.
  23. You should have listened to the guy on the loudspeaker when he said, "The brown acid is bad, man."
  24. If they drafted Nassib it would be a very interesting experiment. In essence, you'd be getting a rookie going into his 4th year of the offense with the same coach and OC. It's never been done before and I almost want them to do it, just to see if it is as advantageous as it appears,on paper, that it might be .
