UConn James

There isn't crap for TEs in this draft. If it were based on getting the best players, period, a TE wouldn't be drafted until about the 4th round. Sorry. It's a position that might stand some upgrading, but it's just not there. Campbell and Euhus are better than anyone coming out and they're not breaking the bank. I agree with the order of Mickey's first four but amend the first one to LG/C.

Or for people who remove themselves from the genepool by doing something stupid with their reproductive organs so as not to be able to use them again.

I park way back in left field and walk when I absolutely have to go into civilization. People are stupid and I want to not have dinged doors on my new old Jeep. AD, my dad had a phrase for situations like that. It went, "Most people carry one spare tire. Some people carry two. A few may even carry three. But no one carries four."

What you, me and everyone here collectively don't know about the Palestinians could just about be squeezed into the Grand Canyon. Someone made the choice to go with Mr. Gere to get a message out. <shrug> Whatever. Hope it works. Hope they don't elect the next Arafat-esque terrorist. But there's a good chance they will, just to keep pace with how they view Sharon.

Further proof that ad execs are either asleep at the wheel or irretrievably stupid. How many people can name the guy Dodge had in '94 for their overhaul? (Without using something like Google. But actually for the record, I can. Has zero impact that Dodge trucks are ehhhh.) Why do Richard Gere's popularity numbers in Palestine even matter? The French liked Jerry Lewis. So what. Does anyone have the text of what the guy says?

Was it that gluing "wood to rubber" thread that prompted this? Ouch.

I think I missed a week or two.... How did Claire die? And who tried to hang Charlie? Was it that Ethan guy that Jack kept seeing? That was a typical hour that left us with furrowed brows, tho. All that so we could find out that Kate was after a message from her beau, whoever he is, that's quite puzzling. A toy plane? I'm racking my brain here with symbolism and just getting overdrive. If anyone saw the writing on the wing...? Kate is starting to get on my nerves with all of her lies and secrets. A few weeks ago, someone pointed out that each episode except one has ended with a song to kind of lighten the mood. Thanks to that person. Tonight we got "Somewhere Beyond the Sea" from Shannon. Pretty good voice and pronunciation. Some might be thinking she's better at French than she's saying. Red herring. When you've heard a song that many times, each note, accent, rolled R is imprinted like a mimograph....

Colin Powell? Leslie Neilson? Dr. Ruth? I don't know, as a fairly popular actor, there's a lot of goodwill that's automatic. Add in his good works.... It doesn't seem to be good or bad, it just matters that the message is getting out. Does anyone really give a sh-- about the medium? Does Jeep agonize that much over their voiceover people for its goal of selling more trucks? No, they just have to make good trucks. The best thing for Palestinian democracy was the death of Arafat.

Eli Manning was only the most recent case study that if you tell a team you WILL NOT play for them under any circumstances, other arrangements are made. You'll likely make about $5-7M less on the signing bonus, but if that means playing for a winner, some guys will do that. If I were Leinart, I wouldn't want to go there. Lots of pressure being the area pick and the savior to a team that resembles Swiss cheese.

Anyone see that roll-out-right pass? Wow. 6'5" 240-something. This guy just moved up to Day One.

Hubris?

Yesterday, I took the loss well. Today, I'm taking the loss well. Then again, I didn't watch the game (:fyou: WBZ-4 in Boston, showed "The Backyardigans" at 1 when CBS had the doubleheader ). The winning streak and final record of 9-7 was more than I was expecting of the team back in training camp and early on. With some changes and tweaking next year, they might come out of the gate ready to go and know those early games are so important too. What those changes are, will certainly be discussed here.

You don't know them, even then.

In a period where it's creeping up to 60 percent of marriages end in divorce, how in the heck would you not want one? Trust is important, but you can never fully know what's going on in another person's brain/heart. I know too many guys who thought they were marrying angels and then got absolutely TAKEN. It's like having survival gear when you go hiking. You're definitely not hankering to use it, b/c that will mean you're in trouble; but just in case you ever need it, it's there to save your tucus.

My quasi-local CBS affiliate, WBZ-4 in Boston, is showing.... The Backyardigans???? HUH???

"What does that mean?!?"

Randy(!) Crottttthh and whoever his friend in the shower is. Not that there's anything wrong with that....

The more times I hear what a bargain Travis Henry is, the more I have visions of him as a 40-year-old with a bad limp in both legs, homeless, and wearing the same pair of Buffalo Bills practice sweats every day.... His one-year extention on the cheap (the preseason after his Pro Bowl appearance?) was brought about by a situation where he was apparently broke. Travis, let's put it kindly, has never been the stickiest stamp in the book. And I hate to say, but if the Bills had given him a $4 million contract, he would've been sitting next to a pile of Pet Rocks the next day. He really needs someone to help him manage his finances, and perhaps to check IDs of the girls he brings home. BTW -- sulking on the end of the bench with arms folded across your chest is "professional"?

I didn't know they had that on the BB site. For reference, Cheshire is about 25 miles from New England's Rising Star and Danbury.... you prol'ly don't want to go that far unless you're on your way to see old friends in NYC.

If getting sick to your stomach before a big game worked for Jim Kelly, it works for me! RALPH!

I'm not in the loop on where all the fans here in the state congregate, but "Coach's" which is owned by Jim Calhoun, has Sunday Ticket.... Link.

Well, over the last 10 years, the NFL essentially added the Ravens, Texans, Panthers and Jaguars while not amending the playoff structure. Why not add another wildcard playoff spot for each conference that will play the #2 seed on wildcard weekend? That would give the #1 seed a true reward over the other teams.

He just has to sign that 50-feet-restraining order against Troy Vincent....

Hey, hey, hey! Some redneck getting off on the dress is for AFTER the prom.

In ten years, add in 'the death of 5,000 soldiers' and this will be an apt description of Iraq. We don't have flooding and droughts in Texas, energy crisis in California, wildfires in the West, hurricanes in the East that should take precedence over sending billions overseas to feed people who will be killing us tomorrow for our generosity?
