UConn James

He does it before every game, during warm-ups. Helps him relax, sayeth he. It was reported shortly after that the way he thought the rule was, was wrong.

1. Lost, 2. Extreme Makeover: Home Ed, 3. Desperate Housewives, 4. The West Wing and 5. nightly news with a big grain of salt ...are about the only things on television I bother to watch. And I'm not overly anxious if I miss them, except Lost is getting more like a can't-miss-or-else-you're-Lost. I watched Alias the first season, missed three episodes of the second, and when I came back, was like , and dropped it. No big loss.

Every time I pick up a 100-pound rock I could potentially drop the rock and crush my foot, even with heavy boots and be out of commission for a long time, office job or no, not even factoring in medical bills. This man is paid very well to do a job that he is not doing, after he's been medically cleared by doctors. Maybe the Jets or his next team should buy him a plastic bubble. How in the hellfire can you and others defend this guy and then rag on Ricky Williams?

I build stone walls in the summer and have tweaked my back a few times. If I pick up a rock the wrong way or trip, I might not be able to do the job again. My clients should pay me to stand there all day and look at the rocks and never build their wall. That way I'll be fresh and ready for my next client.

The fifth sentence Bush introduced him with was: "He's been confirmed by the Senate three times!" Described as a tough, fair pragmatist (I'm down with that), but with limited management experience. Maybe he can direct the use of Homeland Security monies for something besides lawn mower drag-racing in Texas.

AD, how about changing your under-avatar sig to "Put-Down Artist." Really. How do you suppose it would be if Libertarians were in control of Congress? Or Greens? Or....? They can talk a good deal b/c they're on the outside. Truth is, if they're in there, they do the same thing. That thing about power corrupting and all.

From the explanation of the mechanics, I'd rather have the punter (especially Moorman!) try it than a kicker. I'll have to try this next time I'm kicking FGs at Memorial Stadium....

I understand how someone could put the "new" label on Abbas. B/c while he was PM, he also resigned b/c Arafat was still basically running the entire show. As I said, let's see how he does w/o Arafat's henchmen standing behind his back w/ knives at the ready and if he can lessen the influence of Hamas and do something serious about the suicide bombers/attacks on settlements. And yes, hope that Israel will play ball as well.

Actually you're both right and both wrong. Let's see what he can do w/o being under President-For-Life-Arafat. That last sentence doesn't exactly warm any cockles.

Nick, the stats are interesting and give some hope for next year. But "weighting late season games more than early season games"? How about weighing early exit polls more than the final vote tally? And then next year, if the circumstances change, mid-season games should be weighted more heavily.... The Bills didn't make the playoffs b/c of W-L. The horse is dead, man.

I was thinking the same thing, but yaknow, it's kind of pointless to talk to a brick wall. Surprisingly similar to the one in F9/11 who slunk away after indignantly asking "Who do you know who's fighting over there?" Thing is, she probably has that same indignation today even tho her and her loved ones' butts aren't on the front lines. Say what you want about the movie, I'd probably join you in much of the criticism, but that scene went to the heart of things.

I guess some people just love the smell of civil war in the morning. 2005 Iraq is not 1970s-80s El Salvador or Columbia. Vive le difference.

Yep. Don't know if he'll be drafted. Depends on the Combine. But if not, he'll definitely be an UDFA who opens some eyes. I was throwing some w/ a high school pal this past summer and he, the QB Orlovsky (slated for 2nd-3rd round) and another player were working on their footwork w/ ropeladders on the ground and cones. On a Sunday. After getting their butts kicked in practices all week. And in 90-degree weather. They're both in SCal right now doing some intense training. Can you say dedication?

1. I also like the TEs. Look at how the Bills did w/o them. 2. There ain't crap for TEs in the entire draft that's an improvement over what is on the roster. I can tell everyone this several times and there are still calls for 'We need to draft a TE in the first!!' Umm. Anyone who's drafting a TE before the 4th round in April is going for position b/c they're desperate, rather than drafting according to talent. 3. Signing Free Agents is usually for areas where you need a stop-gap for the next one to three years. Franks is a prime example of this. The Bills sign him, and they can kiss away any chance of Euhus developing into an above average-to-good starter. The stats those players have had in the past do not immediately cross over w/o taking away from other players. Especially to an area that is less of a priority in this offense.

Link. Small ad that you can click thru.... What he says about China and family planning is interesting. And the American values we need to discard in order to survive in the world: "unbridled consumerism" and our sense of isolation. I don't know if he's exactly right about the isolation part tho. We haven't truly practiced GW's warning to know whether leaving other countries alone on certain areas works.

Maybe he was saying something about kicking on 3rd down b/c if it's a bad snap, the holder can fall on it and they can try again. That wasn't the issue for SD. It was a missed kick. You can't kick again on 4th. Same thing with MTV no longer having any music, ESPN no longer has any sports commentary. They and Fox got rid of guys like Kelly and Levy b/c they actually knew the game and talked about it. ESPN just can't be bothered with that.

This is just happening for you? I'm a registered Rep who knew this in the second debate in 2000. With more and more people adhering to Bush's policies, the Democratic party is actually starting to make sense for the first time in 30+ years. Heartfelt condolences for your son. I'm sure that's exactly what Osama's minions were thinking on Sept. 10 when they learned what was going to happen the next day. It's like the cop in Heat and played out by Bernie Kerik, when you spend all your time and effort among criminals, you stay at most one step above them.

You may well be the only one. All due respect to Dylan as a songwriter, but I wouldn't be saddened if something happened to his vocal chords. He truly sounds like if Sam Wyche were singing. A couple of songs on "time Out of Mind" were good tho. The best covers of Dylan's stuff is Jeff Buckley. Dink's Song (Fare Thee Well), I Shall Be Released, Just Like a Woman.... He also does some great Van Morrison covers. Otherwise, No Doubt's cover of "It's My Life" was good. Heard the original by Talk Talk on a weirdo-80s program on the UConn radio station --- the 'remake' was actually just a repetition, note for note, only in GS's voice. It was pretty good tho.

What if they wash their hands? Oh, wait. It's Afghanistan. My bad.

Henry Lee was the only expert who testified that the blood evidence at Bundy Drive led him to believe "something wrong!" Doesn't mean OJ didn't do it. The Supreme Court ruled that it was okay to put the Japanese in concentration camps during WWII, even tho their personal notes later showed they knew it was unconstitutional as they were doing it. Does that mean if 9 justices said it was okay and none said it wasn't, then 9-0 wins and it's true, true, true? Prosecution likely went w/ one expert b/c they figured it'd be all they needed. They'll find others, I'm sure.

A government, especially a dictatorship, will go to any and all costs and efforts to keep itself in power. Our Constitution was written and amended to prevent this as best as possible This isn't exactly a new development in the grand scheme of alliances of convenience.

And if they find five "mental health experts" who say she knew full well what she was doing, that would make them right? All of these experts with their interpretations of a person's mindset when half of the stuff they learned in college has already been debunked. The insanity defense is stupid beyond the pale. Second only to the Twinkie defense.

Umm, no. Haven't been able to do much target practice the past few years, but I'm getting back into it. I can still shoot the backstop, yessir. A person can support what the NRA advocates and still lean Dem. Howard Dean has a better rating than most Repubs, even. What gun issues possibly have to do with Andrea Yates, I'm still scratching my head over....

Don't know what all of those following posts are all about. I've got an NRA Life Member sticker on the back of my[//i] Jeep.... That wasn't even near what I was trying to say. This was talked about for about 10 minutes in a weeks-long trial. Fruit of the poison tree blah blah blah. So, Lionel Tate should be categorized as insane b/c he killed his 3-year-old sister after watching wrestling, where everyone gets right up after being body-slammed? The day we judge mental competancy based on whether someone saw a television show is when the justice system has become completely useless. Don't get me started on the uselessness of psychological therapists. She murdered her children. She should be in jail for the rest of her life, at least. Okay, I officially retract that comment. They are elected, not appointed.

Yet another case of Blind American justice when it comes to athletes.
