Like A Mofo

Sterling Sharpe

Great news dib and I agree with T-80, the drinks would be on us!

Great. Just great.

Couldnt agree more...even if they get a 2nd rounder...having 2 good #2 picks will at least somewhat make up for not having our #1 for this season (although I think not having the #1 this year is somewhat overrated) Its like when Ralph Kiner was told to take a paycut from the Pirates after he hit 50HR, Branch Rickey told him at the time "We finished last with you, well finish last without you"...where has TH gotten us so far???

"Can you believe this Bills team beat New England last year 31-0?" Im tired of that one too, gets me annoyed when looking at this team now

Webster Slaughter...dont know why, just thought it was cool

Me too...let the Ebay auction commence!!!

Parcells on Big Ben PITTSBURGH (AP) - Asked to name the last rookie quarterback who impressed him as much as the Steelers' Ben Roethlisberger, Dallas Cowboys coach Bill Parcells immediately dropped a name familiar to most Pittsburghers. Dan Marino. "He is the best (quarterback) prospect I have seen in 10 or 15 years," Parcells said Wednesday during a conference call. "I have not seen anybody come in the league like that. The only guy that I can say came in, and the first year started playing like he is playing, is Dan Marino. The Steelers, then on the downslide following their Super Bowl successes of the 1970s, regretted for years not drafting Marino, a local college star, in 1983. Partly because of that decision, they never did find a comparable replacement for Hall of Fame quarterback Terry Bradshaw, winning only two playoff games from 1980 through 1993. Parcells doesn't think the Steelers will ever regret taking Roethlisberger, who is 3-0 as a starter since replacing the injured Tommy Maddox. The Steelers (4-1) play at Dallas (2-2) on Sunday. Roethlisberger enjoyed one of the best all-around games in years by a Steelers quarterback Sunday, throwing for a touchdown, running for another while constantly keeping Cleveland's defense off-balance with his scrambling in a 34-23 victory. "He is out of the pocket throwing 50-yard passes right on the money," Parcells said. "It is not going to be without growing pains, but I think he is in an ideal situation. They have good balance on offense. They are running the ball well. They have a good receiving corps. ... I am telling you, I am very, very impressed, and it is not just because he is an opponent." Roethlisberger respectfully accepted the praise but detected a veteran coach employing some pregame psychological trickery. "He's been around for a long time. He knows what he's doing. He has no problem putting those (comments) out there and trying to get inside someone's head," Roethlisberger said. "So I've just got to go and play my game and, hopefully, win the football game." As for any comparison to Marino, Roethlisberger said that should wait for, oh, another 15 years or so. Marino threw for 61,361 yards during his 17-season NFL career, or nearly 10,000 yards more than any other quarterback in league history. "Obviously, it's quite a compliment coming from Coach Parcells," Roethlisberger said. "Being a guy who's been around a long time, he knows talent. But if I've said it once I've said it a million times, it's only been three games. It's a little too early to be putting those statements on it. "If I can be half as good as Marino, I'll be incredibly happy." Roethlisberger is only the fourth non-replacement rookie quarterback since the NFL merger in 1970 to win his first three NFL starts. He has enjoyed a far better debut than the last Steelers first-round quarterback to start as a rookie - Bradshaw, who had only six touchdown passes and 24 interceptions in 1970. Now, Roethlisberger will try to do what no Steelers quarterback since Bradshaw has done by winning in Dallas. The Steelers are 0-2 there since the Bradshaw-led Steelers won their 1982 opener there 36-28 on a Monday night, Gary Anderson's first game as their kicker. Roethlisberger expects to see a lot more blitzing from the Cowboys than he got from the Browns, who blitzed him only a half-dozen times and instead waited for him to make mistakes. "You never know exactly what you're going to face, but we've seen some things where they probably will bring some all-out blitzes at us and try to use their secondary (to make plays)," Roethlisberger said. "It definitely will be a challenge."

Drew still hads a great arm to be a top QB

For now, I like the all blues... But id love to see the OLD unis come back, from the 60's

I cannot think of a better one then that...that quote should be pinned to the top of the Wall.

Im sure the Evil Empire is up to no good!!! Steinbrenner PAYS off Neilsen!!!! BLAME THE YANKEE PAYROLL!!!!

He was AWOL the entire time he was wth Buffalo too

Now Im confused...I thought the Yankees lad "little talent?"

Well June was about the only time of year he produced anyway! Fitting

If the Yankees are going to go after pitcher, id say go after Carl Pavano.

Isnt San Diego still trying to get a new stadium and they threatened to move if they dont get it? I remember reading that a while back

Ive been thinking this for years. Why do we REALLY need to see these political polls??? Why not just let people watch the conventions, debates, learn the issues and see what happens come November 2nd? I believe this would help voter turnout. For example, if you are gonna vote Kerry in certian states? Why bother voting for Bush in some states either? If nobody knew what could happen, wouldnt that help get more people to go vote? Any thoughts? I just cannot think of a good reason why the public needs to know, maybe Im overlooking something.

OH THE HORROR!!!!

My thoughts and prayers are with you and your Dad dib.

But Im sure before this series started, when Las Vegas had the Red Sox FAVORED to win this series (and who knows they still might win it), Im sure you werent yapping about payroll. Heres my advice: Go to the supermarket, aisle 2, and pick up some Kleenex.

I understand people feel pedro's reaction was classy, and just looking on the surface, it was, but what I question is the timing of those comments, he seemed more concerned about being "the center of attention" and reflecting on his childhood, thats all fine and dandy, but doing that right after going down 2-0 to your biggest rival?? I was stunned with how good Leiber pitched, and I agree this is far from over, I still expect the Red Sox to make this very very interesting.

Still a long way to go in both series, but the Cards sure look tough. But if you do face the Red Sox or the Yankees BF, Brandon Backe will not be one of the best pitchers your team faces.

Dont forget he also have to be "mentally ready" to get to the bartender

But then Clemens and Oswalt back for 6 and 7 on the road on three days rest. I originally said Cards in 7, but now Im thinking 6
