  1. Unless their name is Kelly and they're Fair and Balanced.
  2. We'll see, in short order, just whose naked pictures are in the possession of Joe Burns. Conventional wisdom rules out GW or MM; since they're gone and he yet remains.... TD? Ralph? .... Chuck Lester?
  3. MCI has pictures of the cable-cutter, Jay. Only a matter of time before they match up your mug and send your linesman's pliers to CSI. Oh, wait. It's only the Rubeo children whose pictures will be splashed all over the front pages! Good thinking on the whole offspring-as-patsies milieu.
  4. I scanned through maybe half the story, and what I took from it was, VT was tanking it, trying to get NH to score a run to make it 9-9. That way, VT could put the kid up to bat in the bottom of the inning and be legit. The NH coach saw what was happening. I don't know about the 'last ups' rules. I guess it isn't/can't be played when that team already has the lead. Probably the same reason why tennis matches don't go to a 5th set tie-break after someone mathematically wins the championship 6-1 in the set. It's redundant..
  5. On a side note, my mum cleans in the dorm rooms at the U. Several years ago, she came home one day during the summer room turnover and put something on the shelf, asking, "I found this in one of the rooms. What is it? A vase or something?" "Uhhh... no, mom. No, it's not."
  6. FBI: No terror groups in cell phone case Something still smells rotten there.... And if the arbitrage from Mich-Wisc to Texas is that profitable, I guess the northern Wal-Marts might look into raising their price.
  7. From a NH team playing in a LLWS regional.... Cam Cundy. This kid is so going to hate high school. ;) (For those of you just returning from Happy Hour, switch the vowels).
  8. Well, it does make more sense that they'd only do one flavor per bottle.... Add a lot of them together and you're more likely to include one flavor that a person doesn't like. Better business practice to seperate them, as Jack reported on the bottle he got. BlueFire, maybe your roomie drank the bong water?
  9. What's with that whole argument? "The Sands of Iwo Jima" shouldn't have been made unless all the profits went to make a statue? "The Perfect Storm" shouldn't have been written or made into a film 7 years later? That's sh--. This is America. There is NOTHING wrong with a film making a profit. This is called capitalism --- something the terrorists want to destroy. W/in this system lies economic choice, you can go see it or not, regardless of whether you see a 'need.'
  10. I'm finding that about a lot of Will Ferrel movies. Watched "Anchorman" last week and while it had a few moments of comedy, it was mostly gibberish and crap writing & acting. The funniest parts were in the previews; I think the same thing could be said about T-Nights. I just fail to see how execs think WF can carry a movie for 2 hours by shouting and jumping around. Haven't seen WTC. I don't watch movies in the theatre; and I've watched fewer and fewer American movies b/c they're sh--. But if I were to go to the theatre, WTC and "A Prairie Home Companion" (an all-star cast in this gem; I'll wait for DVD) have been two recent movies I would consider.
  11. In my travels here in NE it has always been 'milkshake.' To call it a 'frappe' you have to be wearing a beret and order in an outrageous pretend-French-accented English.
  12. Maybe the players could voice their opinions to Ralph re: the throwbacks, too....
  13. Let's all say it with Bills / Sabresfan --- CUT LINDELL NOW!!!! I mean, the guy only made a 50-yarder that would've gone 57. And then a measley 45 yarder. I stand by my comments earlier in this thread and add in a "You're an idiot."
  14. Hey, no scouting department worked for the Bengals in the '90s.... O-hhhh!!!! There are lots of things videotape does not show.
  15. That's just disgusting. He will likely get out in a year and a half and there's like an 80% or better chance he'll do it again. We see Jessica Lunsford, we see Elizabeth Smart, we see how many others, and we ask 'Why is this happening?' And there's the answer. Catch-and-release keeps the lawyers, judges, baliffs, media, politicians, et al. in a job. We slap these ^$%@ers on the wrist and let them right back out. Diddling and rape-then-murder are the ultimate in the ever-more-degenerative gonzo porn addicted society that we live in. The media creates the first by dressing Brittney Spears in a schoolgirl uniform and having her sing in a cackling voice. And it hypes the second. Schopp is a %$^^ing idiot.
  16. My question is, are they going to have to replace all of those footballs that have Tagliabue's signature on them?
  17. That reporter has the stretched-leather, blue-eye-shadow look of many of the type of American that quite care about this. I guess it's not enough for the easily offended that the photo indeed doesn't show a nipple or anything other than a curve, but the idea that the woman was baring her breast at some point in time in something other than a hermetically sealed room is a Red-Alert danger to all and sundry. But, of course, there's nothing wrong with CSI:Miami (including one intro scene that nearly got coital) and 30 other shows on her network that show things FAR more obscene than that. The media's inability to report objectively on itself while holding everyone else's feet to the fire doesn't shock me. Look at when 90% of TV stations missed the analog shut-off date b/c they dragged their asses and refused to upgrade their equipment in time. Not a fuggin' peep; it never happened. Their moralizing campaigns --- and I say this, b/c they choose to air these crap 'controversies' and provide a forum for the puritanicals --- ring hollow.
  18. Meh. Doesn't matter. They'll each get over 1,000 yards rushing.
  19. Over ten grand for agreeing to go up 16 jersey numbers. Easy money. That Witner held out for more money just so he could spend it like this.... That's a little disconcerting.
  20. Your 'sources from deep within the organization'? You mean Chris Brown's blog entry from Saturday on BB.com? There's more on it today.
  21. If you don't like the fact that it was made 'so soon', wait. If you don't like that 10% of the opening weekend gross and 10% of the entire release gross will be going to WTC families/charities, don't pay money to see it. If you think it's too intrusive, complain to the guys whose story the movie tells. Oh, wait. They helped on the movie. This is a very, very small portion of what happened in a very discrete time period. More will follow in time. Get used to it. Too anyone who feels it's their right to B word about whether a movie should have been made, who think they are the sole proprietor of what happened on 9/11, who should have starred in the movie, what color the captions should have been, the answer is simple. Watch. Or don't.
  22. I believe it was versus Carolina.
