UConn James

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?

Last week they were saying no new eps until 16 April, but they now have bumped it up to 30 March. I also hear the season finale is going to be 2 1/2 hours. Sweet!

This is the myth that never dies.

The state is making bones to fund the Jets stadium, but Ralph was left to wrestle with the county to do some refurbishing? No double standard there.... Not that gov't should be financing a private business that brings green in hand over fist.

The apples don't fall too far from each other.

Already have their quota w/ Uyi Osunde, LB/DE from my alma mater, on the roster.

Get ready for hypothermia and sunburn on the same day. (To answer the question, yes. On a chilly morning and blazing hot afternnon of haying on a dairy farm about 50 miles east of Roch.)

Eight or nine hundred million? Guess.

I was actually going to say Jim Croce. Been listening to him a lot recently. "I Got a Name," "Alabama Rain" and "Railroad Song" especially. Didn't know his son was picking up the family business. Have to check it out.... Jeff Buckley. I keep worrying that b/c I listen to him so much, it's going to get old. It hasn't yet. There's just so much on so many levels w/ him. To my dad who says Buddy Holly was the biggest loss for music/rock 'n' roll, I say bullsh--. Not even close.

I was going to say something along the same lines. Having a low-round (esp. Top 5) pick is NOT a good position to be in unless you desperately want to screw your cap over. But what really boggles the mind is when teams actually trade up into this area where one fuggin' guy is making $10M/year. You don't do this unless acquiring him guarantees you a Super Bowl, which is problematic in that the draft is a crapshoot. NFL awards the crappiest teams the first picks, thinking this gives them an advantage. Reality is it puts them deeper in the hole. If there's ever incentive for "winning for pride" at the end of a season w/ nothing on the line or making the playoffs, here you go.

The eligibility is probably questionable b/c she was under attack by him. Doesn't matter that he was wallowing over murdering four people, a POS like him could change moods in a second. She was a de facto hostage; police resources were spent to rescue her. How bad is it that our society pays someone for simply not being a murder victim? Is being alive not enough? Shouldn't people call the police out of being a good citizen? And why did they even need to offer a reward? Everyone wanted him off the street.

Hey, Big Mac didn't use steroids. Ask him. He'll tell you.

Don't know. I'd keep the royal; w/o it, they look like the Pats or Broncos, which is part of the problem that's attempting to be corrected. Plus, and I don't know if people think of it, getting rid of the royal blue would mean replacing the stadium seats and some of the FieldTurf. Besides, it is traditional, which is the main reason to use it. Navy makes a good minor accent color for the top of the socks and facemask. (Chalkie, a royal facemask looks like arse. I tried it.)

Be kind. Done in Paint, and I really need to get Elements 3.0. Redesign. Went w/ the navy mask, which I think balances well with the socks. i.e. on the white jersey, the scheme goes from top to bottom.... red, navy, white, white, navy, red. Also put the logo on the shoulders, charging ahead, and slightly changed the current piping to a tapered red block that ties in w/ the one in the logo. One of the things it's going for is feasibility. (I don't especially like the red jersey and admittedly creating a new pant just for it is superfluous.)

Only if it was a Garbage Plate. And only if it came out the way it came in..... Ahh, who am I kidding. It looks the same either way. (And yes, I have had one before.)

I meant that as in, ready to be on the field moreso than you'd probably want a backup to be. I.e. "Put me in coach, I can do it." I.e.2 Flutie. But having his helmet at the ready for three straight hours? That'd take a blue pill, and he'd only have one hour to spare before he'd need to call his doctor. And that's if the game doesn't go into OT.

Word on the street is Harrington is wearing out his welcome in Day-twah. In a better world, he should get another year w/ all of his receivers healthy, but this is the NFL. Garcia's going to be the kind of backup that stands close to the field and keeps his helmet at the ready.

Only bc they can't do other things, I hope the ream the needle when they put it in his arm. F---er.
