Science doesn't owe these people anything.

Bingo . I guess you'd have to examine how widespread the problem is, and if it's worth it to sacrifice the way science has been taught, which has been pretty damn effective. Personally, I think it's a waste of time, because these people don't give a rat's as$ about science or evolution, and are using ID to push an agenda. You let in ID, and a few years later you have to bow to them again?

Why? Teaching the scientific method using the scientific method has worked pretty damn well up until now. Why should scientists bow to the whim of a bunch of zealots with a theological agenda, who I don't believe give a damn about science at all? Why should we change a damn thing?

There was a time when you knew you had hit the bigtime in entertainment if you were a character on the Simpsons. Freaking everybody was on that show at one time or another....Leonard Nimoy, Paul and Linda McCartney, Red Hot Chili Peppers...But perhaps the best was the Company Softball team episode when Burns hires all the major league players to be ringers. Awesome.

"He plays just good enough to not lose his job." Where have we heard that before? Oh yeah, this time last year.

Wow. You're in deep crap, man. You could take a risk and use Warner, because he was putting up lots of passing yards early in the year, but he fumbles and throws INTs, too, so you could run into the scenario where he throws for 300 yards, but fumbles twice and throws 4 picks, giving you negative points. He's a paradox, all right. You could play Sparky Holcomb and hope that he gets into a shootout with Green... . What am I saying!?!? Pete, you're screwed. Go with Dilfer and hope that they are getting blown out so he has to chuck it up there plenty and often.

And his name was Bill Parcells. What size you want your Shockey jersey in?

It'll be just like this season due to last years "playoff run". Week 10 2005 is week 10 2004. We just have Sparky instead of The Statue. What veteran bench-warmer can we bring in next year?

Methinks ( ) he is like every other Pats fan...he was a Giants fan until 1993 when Parcells went to the Pats.

"Release the Kracken!"

To add, they had the ball for 38 minutes in the Miami game and scored 3 points (after being up by 17 early, sputtering out and letting Miami back in it), and 34 minutes against the Pats, scoring...drum roll...3 points. That's 72 minutes that Sparky had to generate any offensive output at all...even just getting within field goal range. They came away with 6 points. Six points! Six points in 72 minutes against two crappy teams. And yet we should keep Sparky in there to move the chains. To move the chains where? The 40 yard line?

Your post I was responding to that post.

Yeah, it's a small sample size if they played 100 games. But they only play 16, and after half a season the Pats are a 0.500 team, and if the zebras didn't bail them out last Sunday they'd be 3-5.

No top 5 defense = 13-11. No Weis = 4-4. The issue is Pats fans giving credit to Brady when they win, but making excuses for him when they lose.

So far, his record without the benefit of a running game and a strong defense is 13-11, a record that is slightly better than average.

By your criteria, then, every player on those superbowl winning teams would be HOF material simply because they had the uniform on. Sorry. It's a bogus argument. The single-most valuable player on those superbowl teams was Vinatieri.

"F-cking Charlie Weis!"

Keep polishing those, uh...trophies, HD. You're making my point. No top 5 defense and your boy Brady falls back to earth. The only reason he won't be exposed even further this season for the slightly above average QB he really is, is because your schedule is pretty damn soft from here on out. But keep padding those stats and trotting out excuses while you gaze longingly at those Lombardis. Better get some binoculars, though, because they are getting farther and farther away. On the bright side, I'm told there's a few Shockey jerseys left. Better catch that Giants bandwagon like the rest of NE. Don't want to miss out.

Can he throw farther than 7 yards? I'd notice that.

Very poetic, Annie.

Not if we run his a$s out of town, he isn't! Grab your pitchforks, fellas!

I completely agree. Family guy is pretty funny, but The Simpsons were in a complete league of their own. There were a few episodes back when it was firing on all cylinders that you couldn't keep up with all the obscure references, site gags, trash pop culture, and musical numbers that would get packed into 25 minutes. Note that this was way before DVR/TiVo and massive use of the internet. They would put stuff into the freaking background that no one would ever absorb on a conscious level. I too have seen some of those episodes dozens of times, and I still laugh out loud when I see them on. Hands down...best sitcom ever, maybe the best series ever.

The man has nothing left to prove. He got his bell rung playing all-out on a team going nowhere for a rookie QB. That's a football player. You won't see him milking a comeback. You'll never see ESBN slobbering all over Chrebet for 4 hours. I tip my cap to him.
