UConn James

The interior will be addressed in the draft, for a lot less $, and developing under JM for a couple of years, more talent. If it's not, then Rudy and JP-era will have bitching rights.

More likely that s/he looked at the geography of which NFL cities are closest to major markets in Can and Mex (which is the stupidest way to go about it), and then looked at the ticket sales, going back quite a ways sufficient to prove a point. Yeah, in post-JK until '01, ticket sales at times weren't gangbusters. But they've sold out the last few seasons. Stupid trumping of a stupid storyline that gets reguritated every couple of years.

Actually, doctors who've studied this report that starving someone in that state does not cause physical pain. Not good enough for those Birkenstock-wearers who claim that if you record a plant's stem being cut, you can hear it screaming, but what can you say? I bet the next post says the husband is a terrorist. We've already had someone call him a Nazi, which is, of course, the argument of a sane person not overtaken by emotion </sarcasm>. In a better world more people would use their minds for rational thought. I assure you, if prosecutors in a state governed by Jeb Bush had a shred of evidence that the husband was abusive, etc., he would have been symbolically arrested 10 years ago. Maybe the people in Florida should be keeping closer track of the child molesters who are killing their children (that's four now in the past year for guys that had long sex assault records) than to allow Teri to go to a better place according to her wishes.

Just to keep her "alive" in her vegetative state, doctors would have had to cut off her extremities. What the Byrds didn't adapt in their lyrics is there's a time to let go, and they reached that point about 10 years ago. Turn! Turn! Turn!

Which LOST Character Are You? I got Jack. (Hence the avatar). Oops. It readeth: "Ah, the classic co-dependent. You are the person people love to have around in a crisis because you know what to do and how to do it. You'll get all the chicks --- until the bad boy flexes his muscles." Interesting note, I didn't see before that his name is Jack Shepard. Piecing this together, his father said Jack was "a good man".... --> Jack is "The Good Shepard." In the Bible, "the Good Shepard lays down his life for his flock." I wouldn't expect this until the end of the series, if it happens at all. Just a musing.

Nice to hear Wire re-did his contract and will be sticking around.

It's great how people, including first-year doctors who have taken to diagnosing by fuggin' videotape, throw out "seems" as if it's "is." Funny, the Supreme Court of the United States says it's on the husband, or else they would have heard the case. Unless you're saying you know or can divine the law better.

Neither does dramatically turning their heads to Camera 2 in the middle of something that purports to be a news report, and saying "Now, here's what I think.... blah blah blah."

I don't use the nancy-boy stuff like cologne or spray. But the stick deodorant, yeah, I go old school w/ Old Spice. It's been doing the job for 100 years, and after I made a switch to it from some powder-scent Tom's of Maine that I got a case of for free, a few chicks have said they like the OS.

There's nothing like deluding yourself in thinking that by re-living the past, you can repeat your success. Does Cowart now officially have the vote for "Most Likely to Have An Eddie Robinson Moment"?

There are some Christian whack jobs who did just that with their babies and buried them in the back yard. Teri's case, however, is an entirely different set of circumstances. Babies don't ask to be born. Teri asked her husband not to keep her alive like that. And what happened for 15 damn years was against her rationally stated wishes. I don't know what to think about the cosmos, but just like I say a few words every night for when anyone here asks for prayers, I'll be saying one for Teri. Godspeed.

One newspaper editor, on why his paper (I think it was the "NY Sun" back in the day) was failing and his subscriber list dwindling: "I could never make it bad enough!"

The only thing that matters in court --- was it peeled or unpeeled?

(AP) State Sen. Nancy Argenziano, R-Dunnellon, cries tears of joy after casting her vote, thereby solidifying her voting bloc for years to come and taking away people's rights to make their own rational decisions or carry out the stated requests of loved ones. ----- Saddening to see someone die in this manner, but it's even sadder to see someone live in that manner when they didn't want to.

You must be confusing it w/ the full frontal lobotomy whereby a person loses their own personality and becomes a puppet for X front-organization. There's several of those. <rimshot> Will you be here all week? Should people try the veal?

Really a sad case all around. But families are forced to make these decisions every day to take someone off life support, etc. Watching the coverage I've told members of my family that if that's me, do me a favor and pull the plug. Sometimes things aren't written in legalese and codified to the fullest extent. It's that time when the person who was closest to her and discussed these issues --- in this case, the husband --- has to make the decision according to the patient's wishes. He says she didn't want this and has endured the pain of having it dragged up in the spotlight time and time again b/c he wants to honor her wish. Sorry, but I don't question his motives just like I wouldn't want my brothers questioned and villified if they pull the plug on me just b/c there's nothing on paper.

The Lions of the last few years are comparable to the New York Rangers c. 1995-2004. Work with what you've got and be very selective in who you draft and sign, rather than try to buy a championship/playoffs and have it blow up in your face every year w/ expensive guys who do nothing. Amazing how many times this has to be stated in the offseason.

There's already a logjam at OT. Only signings or draftings I see would come in the interior. Then again, this admin. only seems to sign guys who can play multiple/every position(s) on the line. There's nothing inherently wrong w/ this, but it'd be nice to have one guy where you can say, 'John Doe is the Center' like w/ Kent Hull. Have one position where they devote all their time to rather than being a jerk of all trades, master of few.

Let's put them all in burquas.

That's odd after having read the Dr. Z story where Burress and his agent went Bogart all over the agent-GM process. Don't know about you, but I don't hire a guy who pulls that kind of sh--.

Remember that scene from "The Program" where the QB puts a lighter to his own cutout, in his dorm shower? Probably a fire hazard, but you could maybe do this outside. Or rig it up on a pontoon and give Cardboard Drew a proper Viking funeral.

Dead Man! We got a dead man walkin' here!

This is a point I was going to make in the last NC thread but didn't get to. The Rules Committee is going to continue to disallow everything but running alongside the WR, maybe with a 5-yard buffer, to get scoring up. Why invest heavily in an area where the impact won't be as great? Sad but true, Nate isn't worth $10+M/year on the cap.

In other LOST news, I was reading that there was a convention thingie last week. Most of the stars and writers were on stage to take some questions, etc. So, Abrams came out and said that they are not in purgatory, this is a theory he wants to nip in the bud. And in the Locke: Good or Evil debate, the stars were all asked to raise their hands if they thought Locke was a Good character. They all kind of looked at each other. No one raised their hands. Then the guy who plays Boone started smiling/laughing and raised his hand, kind of a joke b/c his char and Locke are tight.

There was also the fact that when he was arrested, he had a large knife, a hacksaw, plastic bags, etc. in his trunk, and directions to Amber Frye's workplace that he'd downloaded that day. Think he wanted to take her out to dinner at the Roadkill Cafe?
