Johnny Coli

Could it be he already knows he's finished here, and he's desperately trying to get a win to save some face for a future job somewhere else? Naw...it couldn't be that.

I don't see the point in starting him anywhere but under center here in the NFL. He should have started every single game this season, and the last 8 games last year. Mularkey has handled this kid all wrong.

Looks like the "geeks" have found this thread.

Did Reuben Brown make the Probowl again?

Let's keep him around for another year. I'm told the players love him.

I've heard rumors of the long-thought-to-be extinct "greaser" roaming the wilds of Nebraska, but I don't believe it.

You'd also have to apply regional, economic, and temporal discrepancies as well. A "head" in southern california could have easily become a "burnout" quicker than the "head" in say, Idaho. Add in the slow migration of independent music to your midwest "heartland" regions, and I'm willing to bet there are still "heads" in montana to this day, and we may never have a "punk" sighting in that part of the country ever.

Using your timeline, that would put me right in the "burnout" years...1980-85, but "burnout" doesn't tell the whole tale, because I was also a "punk", but I don't recall being called that until the mid-80s.

Things are a bit hazy, but I think I was either a "burnout" or a "head". I'm pretty sure I wasn't a "jock." What were we talking about?

Screw those jocks, man. If we want to smoke under the bleachers we're gonna. Sh-t! Put out the joint, Tom, coach Carver is coming!

Did he really say that? That's a great line. Everything that surrounds this team has the air of the surreal, don't it? I'm gonna kick back and enjoy the comedy of these next two weeks.

The republicans have become big-tent party.

But, like an anonymous fart in an elevator, the stench is overpowering.

Rockefeller was not allowed to discuss in public things he knew on the committee. If he did announce his reservations in public, you'd be the first one lining up to charge him with treason. Bush opened up his mouth this weekend, acknowledged that the program existed, and that left the door open for Rockefeller to speak. I don't see how Rockefeller is the bad guy here. He kept his mouth shut, like a good little soldier in the GWOT.

In fairness to chicot, it was I that brought up South America in this thread. I was attempting to add to K-dog's point about not always getting exactly what you are gunning for with regards to nation building, and in some cases it might not even be what the people ultimately want. I was not proposing that communism is a stellar choice, nor was I suggesting it is a successful style of governing. I was merely pointing out that there has been a significant shift towards the left in South America that has coincided with a "distaste" for the hands-on approach that the US has had down there over the past 20 odd years.

Uh, which high-ranking Republican with intelligence clearence was he supposed to go to? Cheney? Roberts? Yeah, that would have been productive. Rockefeller Let's cast the eye of blame away from the President of the US, you know, the guy who may have authorized the illeagal wiretaps, and lets go after the two Dems on the committee. That sure seems fair.

So in 2003, John Rockefeller (a democrat) publically divulges classified information about how the NSA is operating with regards to terrorism, and you don't think he would have been lynched in the streets?

Because to suggest so in public would be considered treasonous by this administration. Remember, this was 2003 when this happened.

He's not playing because MM is a hack, and is trying to get another job. It's a crap move and it smells of desperation.. To suggest JP Losman is "injury prone" (because that is what you are suggesting) is assinine.

The point being that a lot of effort can be put into it, but the results may not be what the neo-cons envision for the area, which speaks to K-dog's point.

They had no choice. Any reservations fell on deaf ears. linky

No. Because of the classification of the material, they weren't allowed to divulge anything that they had read or heard. But when Bush openly admitted to the program over the weekend, it opened the door for them to speak freely about what they knew.

Yes, that's what I meant. The US put a pretty big stamp on South America, and it's certainly not what they envisioned when they spent all that time and money down there trying to get rid of the Leftists.
