Kelly, you took the words out of my mouth. Exactly what I've said since word came that JP was being benched. KH may fool you into thinking he's a competent starting QB with his completions/attempts statistics, but vouchsafe that he is a fraud. Did you see what happened in the first half and we got a grand total of 3 points? THREE points? This is exactly what happened that got JP pulled; what does it matter that KH is 17/24 while putting the same crap on the scoreboard? To anyone who thought that KH/The Bills dictated the game last night even with a ~40 min. ball control O, respectfully, you're wrong. Living in Patsie-land, I've seen every NE game in the past five years. I'm not going to say it's a great strategy for winning to stay close and win it with a miracle 4th Q drive --- that's for Bellichick to answer. And it shows in the Pats' record this year. But don't think that KH was doing anything the Pats didn't allow him to do. BB re-invented the dink-and-dunk with Weis. For sure, he knows how to stop it. For everyone who enjoys mediocrity, that's what you get with KH. And next year when this Swiss cheese defense is rebuilding and there will be no falling back on it, the offense will be expected to pick up the slack and we'll again have to turn to an unschooled (b/c TD&MM didn't want to pay the tuition) Losman. And we'll have two suck-ass years when only one may have been necessary.

You know BF, whenever I read one of your posts, I picture that fat kid from the commercials whimpering, "I should've worked at Capital One!"

Well, it has been established that Walt & Michael can finish the joke. It was on one of the cards that he sent Walt, and that they re-read in that ep. The answer was something like "Do you smell carrots?" Thing is, who gave Desmond this riddle to find out his replacement? And, Walt appearing and telling Shannon about the button would indicate that he knows it's what he needs to do. Maybe there's some kind of prophecy involving a child that the Others know about. I don't know about Desmond. It seems that as soon as his replacements got there and he could fob off sleep deprivation on someone else, he was G-O-N-E. Told Jack in the stadium, "See you in another life, brother" and when he saw him again it was in another kind of life. He repeated that quip in when Jack tracked him down. I think he will be back, but again, it's going to be in a different kind of life.

Yaknow, that's probably the best one I've heard this year. You'd need to get a prostetic forehead to get that many wrinkles tho. Guy looked like Wharf on Star Trek.

Awesome Easter Egg find. Have you found out about any more? I meant to check somewhere to see if anyone found some (b/c there have to be some. There just have to) but b/w this, that and the other, never got to it.

Spun, some really good questions, observations, and predictions. Basically what it all boils down to that we're waiting for to develop. And it has been a lot of development this season so far, and not much real action. I guess when someone gets whacked in two weeks, the season might start to pick up steam. Agree that Ana Lucia is going to be facing some serious, "Hey, Brooklyn, shut the !@#$ up already. B word." when they get to the other camp. Not so nice of them to be leading the Others there, don't you know, and I don't think Sayid and everyone will appreciate it very much. I also don't know if she'll mesh with Locke very well --- she's very high-strung and domineering; Locke is congenial and fairly relaxed on the island. As far as the food stockpile, I'm not sure that someone resupplied the hatch frequently. It was said that Desmond only had enough food left for about 3 months; food like that can last for years, and who's to say that it wasn't past its official expiration date, yet still edible (a lot of companies use a rather arbitrary "use-by" date)? The Others could well be split up, and there's not necessarily only the eight or so that walked past. I was conscious of that, just didn't get it down in 12-point Times New Roman.... Rose doesn't have all that much of a story. They introduced her early on last season as the woman who was sitting all alone and not drinking any water, and she 'knew' that her husband was alive even tho he was in the back section of the plane. There was also an ep where she kind of prayed with Charlie. And then she disappeared for like 15 eps, and everyone was like, "WTF happened to Rose?" Bernard is the guy we've just seen among the new group of survivors. Johanna is the one who drowned. Apparently. Even tho she was a "strong swimmer" back in the real world and swam every day. I still think there was something weird about that.... Another "security system" on that side that lets no one get out? For any nookie action, Sawyer said something about that in the season finale as he was reading through the notes people put in the bottle. A woman wrote back to her husband and kids, and he's like "Ahh... but what she doesn't say is she's been shackin' up with Steve this whole time." And, the show is on an hour later now, not earlier. Charlie knows that the Virgin Mary statues have heroin in them. Someone mentioned in passing that it was a drug plane. When they passed by, Charlie saw one that was broken open and heroin bags on the ground. He took an unsmashed statue. Something will come up about this. Especially when Locke sees it; I also think it will lead him to use Charlie as his next "sacrifice," as the plane = heroin = Charlie, in Locke's whole "The Island showed it to me" schtick. I think this is the longest Lost post I've had in quite a while. Thanks.

And when we're playing Pittsburgh, our line can't handle three guys. Hmmm. Maybe we've gone about it in the wrong way.... Let's sign Belladonna to the OL! She could probably "handle" the whole opposing D. All at the same time.

In the "Ask the Coach" one, I'd like for MM to take one about Tom Clements' cutesy play-calling, which IIRC, he hasn't specifically done. I want to know about the man-love TC has for Damion Shelton near the goal line, and just how many times it needs to be shown that DS can't do the job. That and Mark IV's question, which yet stands --- "Coach, why do you abhor the run?"

JP is the gay wanna-be dentist elf. (I keed. I keeeed. )

Telling Jerry Gray not to blitz is like telling Medusa not to turn people into stone. The very definition of a one-trick pony. And Brady is going to carve this D up like a Christmas turkey.

He wasn't JP's go-to receiver, and for some reason they didn't click. He decided to speak against the rookie, thinking people would put stock into what he said. And some people did, especially the ones that mattered. Now, over three weeks with a MINDBLOWING average of 40 yards a game, it's pretty evident that said QB wasn't the only factor in our losses. Moulds should worry about Moulds. And yeah, since NFL salaries can only be reduced 10% per year (IIRC), I'd say he's gone next year. He knows TD's tendencies to draft replacements a year in advance.... and RP was our first pick. Memo to EM: 1) Grasping at straws doesn't work 2) Sh-- floats to the top.

Ever read "The Seven Daughters of Eve" by Brian Sykes? I challenge these girls and anybody else who thinks they're racially "pure" to a DNA test. There's a lot of people who would be absolutely shocked to see exactly what percentage of "black" or "white" genetic makeup they have. "We are all a complete mixture."

See the finish to the Giants game yesterday? There's a program that did what needed to be done last year w/ Eli, swallowed the medicine and it's going to be paying dividends for them. We have fans dictating the starting lineup and they are perfectly contented with sinking with the QB whose abilities are limited but known with Holcomb and getting *maybe* 5 wins vs. developing JP and seeing what happens. Our FO and high-level coaches have their heads so far up their asses they can see daylight. Tom Clements is in over his head. First drives have gone really well, and then he does a 180* from everything that was working. What is with the MAN LOVE he has for D. Shelton at the goal line? If Mularky has any balls, he needs to take over the O play-calling.

And I'll be wagering that the "Ask the Coach" and "Ask the GM" articles won't be running this week, after all the zingers they got after the loss to the Falcons. They didn't have one after the loss to the Saints. Then when they got a W, it started up again. These guys don't want to face much criticism and have their 'grand scheme' !@#$-ups brought to light.

You need to wait until Tuesday evening. At least.

Why is it that most of these stories of hate and intolerance is perpetuated by the phrase "home-schooled"? "We want to keep being white"???? What !@#$ color are you in danger of changing to?

Since when is rap/hip-hop defined as "rock and roll"? That's why it's called "rap" and not "rock and roll." Rock is Seager, Clapton, Holly, U2, Cheap Trick, Rush.... (and let me tell you, it is a great accompaniment to a hard labor job). Hey, let's nominate Beethoven for the Country Music HOF. How about a bust of Julia Child in Canton? It obviously doesn't matter if a HOF isn't in your milieu anymore.

Hey, you're the one who asked if anyone wanted sloppy seconds. I simply took her in for gentlemanly safe-keeping. You didn't hear it from me, but she's thinking about pressing charges.

Well, it's kind of late now as duey's got it in a response post and anyone who reads this thread will have read it by now. I didn't mean to be a Negative Ned to what I think is your first post in the LOST threads.... Welcome to our digs, and if anyone asks where the inflatable Shannon is, you don't know, OK? So, in the spirit of not ignoring the 800-pound gorilla that everyone can see, I'm not sure how nearly accurate USA Today is on that. Killing off Shannon... I can't say it would be too much of a loss, as her character has been clearly defined as a harlot/scammer; it would also successfully tie up any problems with having to have Ian Sommerhalder(?) back to play Boone in flashbacks. But losing her means that the whole thing with her father being the guy who died when Sarah hit him is lost. That's a big WHOA! moment gone for Jack, tho it is hard to surprise/convince him with anything having to do with Fate. I missed the preview for the next ep. Is it a major character that's slated to bite the dust?

Yes. Jerry "Blitz" Gray should have gotten that HC job in Texas. That AD must not have known what he was doing. </sarcasm>

I think it's much more in-depth than what you've got up there. Bolstering both lines is priority #1 (especially LT and NT/DT), and it's something that pays huge dividends when all of the other parts of the machine will be able to work better b/c of it. Most other positions are relatively set with playmakers and I'm pretty confident in them, it's just that TD went for the sizzle before the steak.

I can imagine that this will meet with the same kind of reaction as Rev. Lovejoy letting/making his Newfie poop on Flanders' lawn. "BAD DOG! (Good dog! Don't stop now, boy!) Uhmm... Jesus rebukes you!" I'm sure that everyone saw it, just that no one wanted to start a thread saying, "US Soldiers !@#$ America." Unless it only counts when Newsweek reporting the truth causes riots. No rioting yet? Wait awhile. Always rich when people here fob blame to the media. How about we just come clean and officially say that for terrorists/non-conventional warfare where the Geneva Conventions are spat upon, in these particular wars, the gloves are off. Personally, I don't really care. Bastards got what's coming to them. Memories of a bridge in Fallujah, anyone? Why should we fight 'fair'?

Kind of a spoiler, dude.... Those need to be put in yellow font.

Well, hey. There's one QB that the defense helped knock out during the regular season....

I'd take a 15-yarder per game if it puts the Fear of God in every QB we play.
