  1. after they put in garcia, the coaches went up to the WRs and started coaching them. saying they had to break on thier routes better and run nice routes. as if they were jsut going through the motions with Harrington. why wernt they breaking on thier routes with harrington? why wernt they running hard with him in there? it doesnt look good for detroit.
  2. what is the air speed velocity of a of an unladen swallow?
  3. 1) yes 2) in 3 years. 3) the CIA, or other government agency.
  4. i saw that. the ONLY thing that might keep that team together is that Bly is on the Defense. if he was a WR or TE or O-Lineman it would completly destroy that team. Harrington has taken a lot of heat for the losses, but i think most of the problems are the WRs. they run the wrong routes, or dont cut the right way, and it results in an INT. and the guys on the sidelines only see the INT. he might be done in Detroit, but hes not as bad as everyone says he is. did you watch the thanksgiving day game? he played well. his teammates just sucked. Mooch NEVER wanted him as his QB. NEVER opened the playbook for him. how can a QB play well when he, and everyone else, knows the headcoach is trying to get another guy in there. the sad thing is that he may be cut and go to another team as a backup. i just hope he gets another shot at being a starter somewhere else.
  5. the colts took a lot of heat for giving him a huge contract. he took heat for getting a huge contract when he hadnt won a playoff game. but the fact is.... every team in the NFL (except maybe the falcans) would love to have this guy on their team. he is the best QB in the NFL.
  6. a lot of people dont think Vick is a great QB. but people seem to rank QBs by stats, rather than what they do on the field. M. Vick will never pass like Manning. but Manning will never run like Vick. Vick has earned the right to be thaught of as a great QB.
  7. you need to add Brady and Vick to that list
  8. right after JP threw his INT, they cut away to another game. then after 2 min. they cut back to the bills game. they never showed a replay, or anything. that pissed me off more than JPs INT.
  9. Lions | Mariucci fired Mon, 28 Nov 2005 09:05:32 -0800 Jay Glazer, of FOXSports.com, reports the Detroit Lions have fired head coach Steve Mariucci. It was widely speculated Mariucci would be let go by the team following their embarrassing loss to the Atlanta Falcons on Thanksgiving Day. The team has dropped four of their last five games and Mariucci was 15-28 during his two-plus years with the Lions. He has two more seasons left on his five-year, $25 million contract. wow. he never liked harrington. maybe with him leaving, harrington will stay as their QB.
  10. JP played well. our O-Line just isnt giving him enough time. other than the last INT , he played very well all game. the Panthers were just on the field for so long, he didnt get many chances.
  11. the bears are overrated. they have a good D, but no offense. they wont go far in the playoffs. their schedule: Washington L Detroit W Bengals L Browns W Vikings W Ravens W Detroit W Saints W 49ers W Carolina W Tampa W of all those games, the only good teams they have beaten are carolina and tampa. and can you tell why they have not given up many TDs? its because the teams they play have no offense.
  12. im bored. so here are a few more. Constipation is caused when too much water is absorbed in the large intestine and poops become dry. Honolulu boasts the only royal palace in the U.S. Women's hearts beat faster than men's. During the female orgasm, endorphines are released, which are powerful painkillers. So headaches are in fact a bad excuse not to have sex. According to psychologists, the shoe and the foot are the most common sources of sexual fetishism in Western society. In 1281, the Mongol army of Kublai Khan tried to invade Japan but were ravaged by a hurricane that destroyed their fleet. (called Divine Wind) Slaves under the last emperors of China wore pigtails so they could be picked out quickly. Ivory bar soap floating was a mistake. They had been mixing the soap formula causing excess air bubbles that made it float. Customers wrote and told how much they loved that it floated, and it has floated ever since. Back in 1919, the Russian transplant pioneer Serge Voronoff made headlines by grafting monkey testicles onto human males. The WD in WD-40 stands for Water Displacer. Maine is the toothpick capital of the world. When the divorce rate goes up in the United States, toy makers report that the sale of toys also rise. Every photograph of the first American atomic bomb detonation was taken by Harold Edgerton. Sawney Beane, his wife, 8 sons, 6 daughters, and 32 grandchildren were a family of cannibals that lived in the caves near Galloway, Scotland in the early 17th Century. Although the total number is not known, it is believed they claimed over 50 victims per year. The entire family was taken by an army detachment to Edinburgh and executed, apparently without trial. The water displacement product, WD-40, can be found in 80% of American homes. Kite flying is a professional sport in Thailand. The first formal rules for playing the sport of baseball required the winning team to score 21 runs. Basketball great Wilt Chamberlain never fouled out of a game. Belize is the only country in the world with a jaguar preserve. An armadillo can walk under water. The Lion King is the top grossing Disney movie of all-time with domestic gross intake of $312 million. A violin actually contains 70 separate pieces of wood. Five thousandths of a millimeter is the tolerance of accuracy at the LEGO mould factories. http://www.amusingfacts.com/cgi-bin/search.cgi?query=facts
  13. ive seen himi try to stiffarm. but the defender just dives at his legs and makes the tackle.
  14. i think we should take a TE. TEs privide a great mismatch in todays NFL. i like campbell, but hes not a real recieving threat. it would help JP also, giving him a TE who is big and fast. there is a guy at UCLA, who would help our Offense a lot. i know we need lineman, and DTs, and a #3 CB. but a great TE is a rare thing to find.
  15. they benched him for a while last season. i dont think he was benched this week due to an injury. i think he isnt doing what the coaches want him to do. they probubly want him to not rush the passer, and just stop the run. but thats not what he does. the coaches just got fed up and benched him. i dont expect him back next season. which means we will need 2 FA run stopping DTs. those will be expensive.
  16. i have done absolutly 0 work today. im just trying to find stuff to do to pass the time. but on the bright side, i learned that your eyes do not grow as you age. and that Guinea pigs and rabbits can't sweat. got to love those useless facts.
  17. i have nothing to do at work, so here are a few more: Bamboo can grow up to three feet in a 24 hour period. Kudzu is not indigenous to the South, but in that climate it can grow up to six inches a day. Oak trees do not have acorns until they are fifty years old or older A person standing under an oak tree is 16 more times liable to be hit by lightning than if he had taken refuge beneath a beech tree. The oak tree has vertical roots which provide a more direct route to ground water. The giant sequoia, which produces millions of seeds, can take 175 to 200 years to flower. No other organism takes this long to mature sexually. The squirting cucumber (Ecballium elaterium), when brushed by a passerby, ejects its seeds and a stream of poisonous juice that stings the skin. Pine, spruce, or other evergreen wood should never be used for barbecuing. These woods, when burning or smoking, can add harmful tar and resins to the food. Only hardwoods should be used for smoking and grilling, such as oak, pecan, hickory, maple, cherry, alder, apple, or mesquite, depending on the type of meat being cooked. The telegraph plant of Asia has leaves that flutter constantly, even when there is no breeze. The primary purpose of growing rice in flooded paddies is to drown the weeds surrounding the young seedlings. Rice can, in fact, be grown in drained areas. The bark of a redwood tree is fireproof. Fires that occur in a redwood forest take place inside the trees. ( i dont know about this one. everything burns with the right abount of heat.) Table salt is the only commodity that hasn’t risen dramatically in price in the last 150 years. Native Americans never actually ate turkey; killing such a timid bird was thought to indicate laziness. Turkey contains an amino acid called tryptophan, which can cause sleepiness (warm milk also contains tryptophan). In Bavaria, beer isn't considered an alcoholic drink but rather a staple food. In medieval England beer often was served with breakfast. Grapes explode when you put them in the microwave. Only food that does not spoil: honey. As much as 50 gallons of Maple Sap are used to make a single gallon of Maple Sugar. (i think that might be Maple Syrup) Herring is the most widely eaten fish in the world. The five favorite U.S. school lunches nationwide, according to the American School Food Service Association, are, in order, pizza, chicken nuggets, tacos, burritos, and hamburgers. The number 57 on a Heinz ketchup bottle represents the number of varieties of pickle the company once had. Airport security personnel find about six weapons a day searching passengers. http://www.angelfire.com/ca6/uselessfacts/
  18. this means jack squat to us. this only means the team has to pay him an extra 2 game checks. he will still be deactivated for the rest of the season. it is not worth all the press it is getting.
  19. 1) Giraffes are the only animals born with horns. Both males and females are born with bony knobs on the forehead. 2) From Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me -- In the U.S., "shag" is far less offensive than in other English-speaking countries. Singapore briefly forced a title change to "The Spy Who Shioked Me." ("Shioked" means "treated nicely.") 3) Trivia is the Roman goddess of sorcery, hounds and the crossroads. 4) In Dante's "Inferno" the Ninth Circle of Hell is reserved for those who betray family or country.

In a typical year, the U.S. can expect some 10,000 violent thunderstorms, 5,000 floods, 1,000 tornadoes and several hurricanes. 7) Bore-hole seismometry indicates that the land in Oklahoma moves up and down 25cm throughout the day, corresponding with the tides. Earth tides are generally about one-third the size of ocean tides. (WTF??) 8) The original fifty cent piece in Australian decimal currency had around $2.00 worth of silver in it before it was replaced with a less expensive twelve sided coin. 9) it is illegal to plow a cotton field with an elephant in North Carolina. 10) Under the law of Mississippi, there’s no such thing as a female Peeping Tom. 11) Anti-modem laws restrict Internet access in the country of Burma. Illegal possession of a modem can lead to a prison term. 12) Lawn darts are illegal in Canada. 13) Every citizen of Kentucky is required by law to take a bath at least once a year. 12) It is against the law to whale hunt in Oklahoma. (Think about it...) 13) A Venetian law decrees that all gondolas must be painted black. The only exceptions are gondolas belonging to high public officials. 14) An old law in Bellingham, Washington, made it illegal for a woman to take more than 3 steps backwards while dancing. 15) Connecticut and Rhode Island never ratified the 18th Amendment: Prohibition. 16) In most American states, a wedding ring is exempt by law from inclusion among the assets in a bankruptcy estate. This means that a wedding ring cannot be seized by creditors, no matter how much the bankrupt person owes. 17) Vermont, Alaska, Hawaii, and Maine are the four states in the U.S. that do not allow billboards. (god i wish NC had this law) 18) In San Salvador, drunk drivers can be punished by death before a firing squad. 19) In South America, it would be rude not to ask a man about his wife and children. In most Arab countries, it would be rude to do so. 20) In 1845 Boston had an ordinance banning bathing unless you had a doctor's prescription. 21) No building in DC may be taller than 13 floors. This is so that no matter where in the city you are, you can see the monument to our first president, Washington. 22) In Michigan it's illegal to place a skunk inside your bosses desk. 23) In Kentucky, it is illegal to carry ice cream in your back pocket. 24) During the time that the atomic bomb was being hatched by the United States at Alamogordo, New Mexico, applicants for routine jobs like janitors, were disqualified if they could read. Illiteracy was a job requirement. The reason: the authorities did not want their trash or other papers read. 25) "To prevent violence," it was at one time customary at certain phases of the moon to chain and flog inmates of England's notorious Bedlam Hospital. 26) In Hartford Connecticut, it is illegal for a husband to kiss his wife on Sundays. 27) In December 1997, the state of Nevada (USA) became the first state to pass legislation categorizing Y2K data disasters as "acts of God"— protecting the state from lawsuits that may potentially be brought against it by residents in the year 2000. 28) During World War II, bakers in the United States were ordered to stop selling sliced bread for the duration of the war on January 18, 1943.

This is because all knights used to be right-handed. When the intruding army would climb the stairs they would not be able to use their right hand which was holding the sword because of the difficulties of climbing the stairs. Left-handed knights would have had no troubles, except left-handed people could never become knights because it was assumed that they were descendants of the devil. 38) Time magazine's "Man of the Year" for 1938 was Adolf Hitler 39) The Aztec Indians in Central America used animal blood mixed with cement as a mortar for their buildings, many of which still remain standing today. 40) In Northern parts of China it was once a common practice to shave pigs.

  20. you know... i actually feel smarter after reading that.
  21. vegas has been picking the right team all season long. they picked the browns over miami. they picked the bills over the chiefs. if they give us points...... i love it.
  22. i believe they are the second best team in the NFL. our season is not over. we play well at home. Carolina, N. England, Denver... we can win these games.
  23. Thurman is the man. Reed is the man.
  24. hes not playing because he is consistantly getting beat. when a TE/practice squad guy takes your spot, and you move to backup OG... somethings wrong with you, and it ant injuries. he just hasnt played well enough to keep his spot.
  25. thats what i have been saying. its not over, but its gunna be a hard trip. we can beat N.E., Carolina got killed last week, and denver looks good, but may be resting players... we just have to beat carolina first.
