  1. You would be glad about something like that.
  2. Make sure it's 200 Proof. That takes some serious stones or desperation to do that on your own.
  3. Blaming the media for reporting facts when you get caught cheating. Guy's a true scoundrel. And I hope his career is over.
  4. But he's a Republican tool, so that makes him Republican cool. Like our Gov. Johnny-boy Rowland, now kickin' it in NJ for 15 months at Club Fed for selling us out to Tomasso Construction (and ~$250M to Enron, but he didn't get charged with that). It's really got to start w/ fixing the crappy education system (Regents) and creating/inviting in real jobs to stop the "brain drain." Will that happen? Pro'ly not.
  5. It's probably at a standstill b/c half the teams in the league have been counting on 2007 being the end of the cap. They've mismanaged their contracts so badly, that just before it comes time to pay the piper, they have the piper killed. Deadskins, Raiders, Lions, Colts, Felons, 69ers.... that's just off the top of the head. Once the cap is gone, it doesn't come back. The above owners and the NFLPA will make damn sure of that. ----- And yeah, besides the having to scroll down so much, there's copyright issues. Select the pertinent info and put a link.
  6. Not necessarily a bad development. Shouldn't let a team get too familiar w/ your personnel and schemes. Tends to stagnate after a few seasons. Lions? Iggles? It would be a team that's relatively close geographically. I think it's possible to rule out the Jets, Pats, Giants b/c of history, Stillers... does anyone need to be told why not? Could also just spend the time in regular practice / intrasquad scrimmage.
  7. If his thumbs are as short and stubby as his fingers, he won't get much of a sensation.
  8. D.C. does have three votes in the Electoral College, as set by the 23rd Amendment. Which makes it the same for one city as it is for seven states.
  9. One of the guys from the Monkees went to my high school back in the day. The lead guy from Weezer did too (Rivers Cuomo?) about 10 years before I got there. As for your question, Pooj, today's music isn't inclined to story-telling like that.
  10. They lost their center, Woody. Forget who else, tho.
  11. And then there's: "Will always go balls out until the final whistle blows." Uhmmm, I'd prefer he keep his balls in his pants. Thanks, for offering tho. Writer apparently had 'balls' on the mind....
  12. Let's say this again: "Removal of the feeding tube [for people in a PVS] results in a very peaceful death." -- Dr. Tim Johnson. This is not like starvation for you or me. It will not physically hurt.
  13. Um, Shaud Williams. And if nobody bites, Travis Henry, the man himself. He's just seemed unspectacular when he's been on the field. I think for the most part, it's good-natured ribbing. Until FFS writes a 6,000-word essay on why Joe Burns is dead weight on the roster. No one but us hardcores will read it, but everyone will have to agree. C'mon FFS, you know we love ya, man!
  14. Congrats! I'll crack open a PBR for Baby TBA. And one for your brother. And one for his wife. And one for you. And one for your wife. And.... C'mon, you need to come up w/ 25 more people to drink a toast to.
  15. Looks like he broke out the naked pictures of TD at the negotiating table. I honestly don't know why they're keeping him, especially since this draft and the UDFA RBs are going to be leaps and bounds above him as a third year player. Whatever.
  16. ABC has done a great job in show development this season. Lots of diversity in genres and new plays on old genres. LOST, DHW, BL, Blind Justice, Extreme Makeover Home Ed., this new series Eyes doesn't look half bad.... This, while both of the other networks are airing the same old, same old. Sit-coms of fat husbands and skinny wives. Law & Order, spinoff after spinoff, CSI, ditto. When no one has any ideas left, they run to generic cop shows. ABC, which was the struggling network, in danger of slipping below the WB just a few years ago, is back. ABC's the new HBO.
  17. And you thought this belonged on the main board rather than PPP.... how?
  18. So, "not much hope" is equivalent to zero hope? Teri's cerebellum is filled with cerebral fluid from the spine! If they do reconnect the tube, they're very soon going to have to amputate her limbs to keep her blood closer to her heart for circulation purposes. She's not going to be waking up. Can you imagine the "What has no arms, no legs, and ...." jokes? You may call wanting Teri to die of natural causes like an infection and pulling her feeding tube crossing some kind of symbolic fence. It's more like trying to find a chalk line in your driveway after 15 years.
  19. When this happened during the debates w/ Cheney's daughter, they were up in arms for Kerry's using her for political gain. No such outcry when its them doing the same damn thing. And you know, that other legislation, doesn't surprise me one bit. The opportune words are: if they can't pay. It's all about keeping money, money, money in the pockets of big business. That is what they've become and they're not going back. What surprises me are the shmucks who keep voting for them b/c they get a couple hundred bucks back in a tax return rather than fixing the entire system and keeping the govt from taking thousands from them in the first place. Dude, I used to be a Republican. The party left me behind in about 1990, and I stupidly kept supporting them until 1998. Maybe it's time to re-evaluate who better represents your opinions. I agree w/ about 30 percent of the GOP agenda (economic, but it's eroding more every day), but about 75-80 percent of the Dem. It's not about the Ted Kennedys of the party anymore. There's a reason why McCain is called a RINO.
  20. Wow, that is a thorough workup. For the most part, it works out pretty favorably for TD and the $ he decides to shell out. It's also nice to have a good scouting department and the mindset to not be afraid to have rookies or inexperienced players as backups. Too many people here feel the need to sign expensive worldbeaters for all 53 roster spots. I do disagree with the assessment of Ron Edwards somewhat. His appearance was after Ted Washington left and his linemate was a relatively inexperienced Pat Williams. Then he's playing behind Sam Adams. It's hard to improve your game by leaps and bounds playing behind these guys but he has made big strides, pointing especially to the Cincy game this past season. Judging him is premature as the guy is still only 25. Look how long it took for Fat Pat to crack the lineup.
  21. My consultation with Sherlock Holmes leaves me the impression that Rosen just wants to play Whoopee Cushion gags.
  22. The '67 GTO, black, hard top, is my fantasy car. My father had one back in the day, said it'd pass everything but a Ford and a gas station.
  23. The Bills are playing 16 games at the Ralph every year from now on? Sweet! </smartass>
  24. Well last year, we were pretty hard up at Guard w/ Ruben's departure. And it's not like TD paid much more than was already being spent for sub-par play. I'm all for letting rookies develop by giving them playing time, but you do it like the Patriots, one at a time. You can't have both slots with de facto rookies. Ain't got that problem this season. Hence, no payday.
