Its more Cool Hand Lukish. Them clothes got laundry numbers on them. You remember your number and always wear the ones that has your number. Any man forgets his number spends a night in the box. These here spoons you keep with you. Any man loses his spoon spends a night in the box. There's no playing grab-ass or fighting in the building. You got a grudge against another man, you fight him Saturday afternoon. Any man playing grab-ass or fighting in the building spends a night in the box. First bell's at five minutes of eight when you will get in your bunk. Last bell is at eight. Any man not in his bunk at eight spends the night in the box. There is no smoking in the prone position in bed. To smoke you must have both legs over the side of your bunk. Any man caught smoking in the prone position in bed... spends a night in the box. You get two sheets. Every Saturday, you put the clean sheet on the top... the top sheet on the bottom... and the bottom sheet you turn in to the laundry boy. Any man turns in the wrong sheet spends a night in the box. No one'll sit in the bunks with dirty pants on. Any man with dirty pants on sitting on the bunks spends a night in the box. Any man don't bring back his empty pop bottle spends a night in the box. Any man loud talking spends a night in the box. Any man wearing sunglasses to practice spends a night in the box. You got questions, you come to me. I'm Leach, the floor walker. I'm responsible for order in here. Any man don't keep order spends a night in... Little Craig James: ...the box. Leach the Floor Walker: I hope you ain't going to be a hard case. Little Craig James: [smiles, shakes head] .

Better yet, take his teammate: http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/columns/stor...&id=4619628 Senior cornerback Javier Arenas described what it's like as a tackler when McClain arrives to finish off the guy with the ball. "You black out for a second," Arenas said, "and try to figure out what truck hit you. You see him walking away. OK, it's him." ..."He's got that gift of being able to analytically process information and react to it as fast as any guy I've ever been around," Steele said. "There are a lot of ways to teach players -- in the classroom, on the board, with video, practice reps. Some guys have to do it full speed. You can pass Rolando in the hall and say, 'In this formation, in this defense we need to do this,' and it's done. "I've never coached but two like that," Steele said. "One of them was Sam Mills, who played 12 years in the NFL and was All-Pro several times. And Rolando." 6'4" 258lbs. 4.6 40. Any questions about his speed were answered when he ran Johnny Demps to the sideline. Big Strong Fast Smart Hits like a truck.

Fortunately, a few other things you'll no longer hear from TE fans: 10) This whole checkdown stuff is a myth; 9) Bill Walsh loved him! 8) The guy does a great job of going through his progressions; 7) What do you expect him to do? No one is open!; 6) He has a winning record, and that's the bottom line; 5) "I'm not comparing him to Tom Brady, but if you look at Brady's early years...." 4) He's a really good game manager; 3) I really like his leadership qualities; 2) If he only had another weapon opposite Lee Evans; and 1) POISE!

In 2006, Manning was within 20 yards of winning the passing yardage title and was first in TD's. In 1999, Warner first in yardage and TD's.. In 1996, Favre was second in the league in yardage and first in TD's. On the other hand, when's the last time a team won a SB when their QB has thrown 11 TD's? Hell, even Trent Dilfer threw for 12 on a really bad Ravens offense.

That is a bit pathetic

Ok, this thread is weirding me out, but it doesn't have to do with Nic Harris. I post on another site, under the name gilchristfan, but like to read some of the comments on this site, there are some pretty good posters here. This same discussion (literally) took place elsewhere, and I remember having this discussion with someone the other night. http://!@#$.com/showthread.php?t=162863 Looking at this thread, it was a bit strange to have my comments, in several posts, being used by someone named Pitta. I've been called a PITA before, but never Pitta. Why anyone would want to impersonate me, I have no idea, I'm a pretty boring person.

That sounds a lot like "The best you can do on any given day is to put yourself in a position to win. After that, if the circumstances are right, you’ll win." ~~~Richard Petty Of course, when Petty said that, he was dominating his profession like no other.

Until this year, Acela hadn't been doing bad on its Washington-Philly-NYC-Boston runs, in fact, it had 54% of the market in the plane-train Washington-NYC sector. For instance....http://www.thedenverchannel.com/travelgetaways/13955626/detail.html It dropped off this year, but that's due to the decline of business travel in general.

I dunno, the Bills finished 2nd in the league in running over left end, with a 5.79 ypc. http://www.footballoutsiders.com/stats/ol

The big picture: Drop a TD pass, get pushed over the edge in a barrel.

Nice Call Sal.

Small "scoop" as opposed to big "SCOOP". If they want to meet with TO, its going to come out in a day or two anyways.

Sal's a good guy, I don't think he's a member here though. He a few sources within the Bills, but he doesn't just throw out rumors for the sake of rumor. If he puts out info, he's at least talked with someone at OBD. I think he drives a Honda Accord though, so take what he says with a grain of salt.

Its not merely the lack of speed, its the lack of production. In 3 years, he's never had a 100 yard receiving game, not to mention that he didn't have a TD last year, and never more than 4 in a season. The Big 12 isn't exactly known for its pass defense. Though Ok-State's offense isn't a pass happy spread offense of most Big 12 teams, a more running style offense can usually open up good opportunities for a TE. The lack of production concerns me more than his lack of speed, except to say that his poor 40 time might partially explain his lack of production.

I'm going. I'm the one you met at Bullfrogs during the Seattle game. My son will be going with my and 2 of my friends. If you're not going to be at the Holiday Inn by the Stadium at 7 am Sunday, send a PM to Aussie, to see if you can get her cell #, so she can tell you which lot they are in.

They had spoken, briefly. http://www.buffalobills.com/news/news.jsp?news_id=6245 (last 2 paragraphs) ...Peters agent Eugene Parker also represents Bills second-round pick James Hardy, and even though conversations on a contract for the wide receiver have been constant over the past week Brandon says talk about Peters has been minimal. "Very briefly with Eugene," said Brandon. "Everything has been really focused on James. It's been a very quiet situation and that's as honest as I can be about it." Of course, it really doesn't take too long to say, "my guy deserves X" and a reply of "we'll pay Y"

His senior year, he didn't have less than 82 receiving yards in a game. In terms of college competition, he put up good to very good numbers against Talib of KU Pat Lee of Auburn Wheatley of Colorado and everyone at the U of Texas. His numbers weren't that high in his junior year because he suffered a knee injury early and limped through most of the year. Alot would depend on what the Chiefs do in the first round, (if they don't take an LT in the first), but I wonder whether he makes it past them in the 2nd. Here's what they're Chief of Scouting says about him. http://blogs.cjonline.com/index.php?entry=6241 The comments are so laudatory, so effusive, you wonder if the guy isn't putting you on. Not stretching the truth, per se, but maybe over-waxing eloquently about the local guy because, well, he's the local guy. But Chuck Cook, the Chiefs director of college scouting, wasn't blowing smoke in Jordy Nelson's direction just because the player in question is a Kansas favorite (Riley County native and Kansas State player). "No way," Cook said almost indignantly when asked if he was padding his Senior Bowl report on Nelson, a player he's watched more often than some other prospects. "Look, I even asked some of the defensive backs (on Nelson's North squad) who they thought was the most impressive receiver out here, and they said Jordy Nelson," Cook said. "They said they didn't realize how big the guy is and how deceptive his speed is. I tell you, the guy's got play-speed."

He doesn't have a job yet, he's just interviewing for a job. But OK, let's say you're applying for a job that requires typing skills, and they want someone who can type 90 WPM. You take a test and end up at 60 WPM, using the keyboard that the company uses. So you complain about the keyboard, the manufacturer of the keyboard and the people that supplied the keyboard. Then, say you'll take the test again, but you'll use your own, and won't let the representatives from the prospective employer in to watch the test. You'll just mail them of a video of it. http://myespn.go.com/blogs/hashmarks/0-6-6...-continues.html It hasn't been a good week for Oklahoma wide receiver Malcolm Kelly, but at least it's getting more bizarre. On Wednesday, he basically accused the OU strength and conditioning staff of trying to sabotage his workout. Kelly apparently wanted to run on Astroturf, but he was forced to run on FieldTurf. Now, he's apologizing for his rant on a Tyler, Texas radio station. The guy interviewing him is David Smoak, a longtime Friend of Hashmarks. On Sunday, Kelly will hold yet another workout in Atlanta under the direction of former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Boyd Dowler. But here's the catch: No NFL scouts will be allowed in the building. Dowler, who's in the Packers Hall of Fame, will send video and information from the workout to all 32 NFL teams and various media outlets. (that's what he's up to today.)

By far most of his passes were over the middle or short to the sideline, that was the Ron Prince offense at KSU..he loved short passes. The fly routes are what you see on the highlight videos..but he caught 122 last year. The deep passes are probably 10% of that number.

Oh, it matters. Jeremy Green was a scout for San Fran and then went to Cleveland in 1999. While he was a scout, the Browns drafted: Tim Couch Gerard Warren Courtney Brown Willlam Green in the first round plus Quincy Morgan Rahim Abdullah Andre Davis in the 2nd round Not surprisingly, Phil Savage canned him. I'd be more concerned if he actually praised the Bills' FA signings.

Houston. The best defensive player in the draft; a new starting OLB; (DeMarco Ryans) 2 upgrades to their OL both with lots of upside (Winston and Spencer).

No need to overanalyze. Its as simple as this, and always has been: "When you, here, everyone of you, were kids, you all admired the champion marble player, the fastest runner, the toughest boxer, the big league ball players, and the All-American football players. Americans love a winner. Americans will not tolerate a loser." Gen. Patton, June 5, 1944. 6 years of losing makes you...intolerant. (Unless you're a Cards fan).

It won't last long. I doubt many of the schools will bother to change the standards before a new board change: http://cjonline.com/stories/110905/loc_evo2.shtml 3 of the more prominent nutcases already have challengers to their elections next year. But since I have 2 sons in the Kansas public school system (K and 2nd grade), and now that the State Board has changed the definition of science to come to supernatural causes, what should I recommend to my second grader for his science project next spring? (he did a kickass tornado last year). I'm leaning towards the Blair Witch Project.
