Cotton Fitzsimmons

WOW! You ain't kiddin! Mad props to THE GASH STATION on this find!

Is it just me or is Bonnie Bernstein looking pretty fair this week in place of Jim Rome? Like the fair Rachel Nichols, Bonnie is somewhat of an "angle" looker... at the right angle at the right time, she's pretty fly.

Me... Ole Cotton... the real deal... the genuine article BAYBAY! OWWWWW... break it down like Dr. Johnny Fever and Venus Flytrap up in here! Some of you may remember this cut from days of yore... Baby, if you've ever wondered... wondered what ever became of me... I'm livin on the air in Cincinnati... WKRP in Cincinnati I got kinda tired of packin and unpackin... town to town up and down the dial... Maybe you and me were never meant to me... just maybe think of me once in a while... (Bonus cut, rarely heard, never aired in the traditional opening theme... ) Headin up that highway leaving you behind, hardest thing I ever had to do... Broke my heart in two but baby pay no mind, the price from findin me was losin you.... Memories help me hide my lonesome feelin, far away from you and feelin low. It's gettin late my friend, my love, I miss you so... take good care of you, I've gotta go. CUT BACK TO THE CHORUS... and END

Ole Cotton is akin to Ole Milss. Spelled Ole, but not pronounced as Olé como Español.

Many thanks to beerbell and GASH STATION for the vote of support. I never meant anyone any harm, just trying to participate in the TBD community.

Sir, you and Ole Cotton need to go "clubbin" one night. Let me give you a little glimpse into what clubbin with Ole Cotton is like: I'm a gigolo spendin lot's a dough, you can tell the way the wide-body, sitting on vogues! Peep how Ole Cotton is shining, wit the fresh, fresh clothes. Always surrounded by so many (HO!) Leave the club with about three in the mo Drop in the Six, 'cause I love them (HO!)

I see MSN is the homepage on your home/office computers as well. Nice read first thing in the morn. Ole Cotton spent much of his early morning in the office napping and figuring out how his rep in high school correlated with his lot in life. The tide is high, but Rafa's holdin onnnn... Nadal gonna be the world's nummmmber onnneeee.... numberrr onnnneeee

Ole Cotton just heard an interview on TV not too long ago where Wade was addressing RJ/Flutie. I think it was on an ESPN top 10 QB Controversies of all time thing or something. RJ/Flutie made the list and Wade was weighing in on it and you could tell he was still pissed about it. In talking abuot the Tenn. game, he flat out said, "Had Flutie been left in as starter... he probably finds a way to win that game, and then who knows?" I think everyone associated with that team, as well as the fans had the realization after that heartbreaking loss that that team just might have been good enough to have a shot at the whole thing.

When the Bills get done with New England this year, Belichik will leave the field with his head hung singing to himself: Trent sure throws a mean football! Trent is a football wizard it's got to be a twist! A football wizard has such a supple wrrriiiiiist... Bottom line, ya heard it here first, Trent Edwards will make the Pro Bowl this year.

To the contrary, Ole' Cotton participated in that thread. This one had a different direction to it... more analytical, trying to branch off into an overall analysis of guarantees in pro team sports in the modern era and how it's become cliche.

Whitner's guarantee seems to be an all too common cliche in sports anymore. Who doesn't make these guarantees anymore? Then they always qualify it with "if I didn't guarantee it I wouldn't be believin in myself, I wouldn't be a competitor, etc." I'm glad he thinks we'll be back in the playoffs this year and all, but it just seems like it doesn't have the shock value that it did was Namath did it. On a side note... Cotton's gotta take a crap. Problem is... Ole' Cotton's at work. This has never really happened to Cotton before at work, any suggestions? Has this happened to anyone else and what did you do? Suffice it to say, Ole' Cotton works at a job where he mustn't lose face with those that work under him.

I agree with this assertion. I hate the Pats as much as anyone and think that the cheating scandal can't just be swept away as irrelevant as some seem to insist. That said, however, if you set the whole scandal aside, there's no dynasty to end here... it's been over for 4 seasons. From '01-'04 you can argue that 3 SB's in 4 years was a dynasty, but as you said they haven't won a Super Bowl in going on 4 years. I'd say that's a clear break in whatever *dynasty they had going.

6-10 anyone? But after we were 2-0 with a pair of real ass beatings everyone thought we were GOING TO THE BOWL!!!

Methinks with the addition of the Stroudmeister on the interior, we'll see top flight production from Schobel. Something to the tune of 12+ sacks... what say you? The voice of the evil Shredder on TMNT was done by James Avery... yes that's right, Uncle Phil was Shredder. Now let us recap: Leonardo leads, Donatello does machines (that's a fact Jack) Raphael is cool but crude (give me a break) Michaelangelo is a party dude (party)

Ever since ole' Cotton was a young boy, He played the oblong ball. From Cheektowaga down to Bimghamton I must have played them all. but I ain't seen nothing like him In any state playoff. That 'Hollywood' Trent Edwards Sure throws a mean football! He stands like a statue, Becomes part of the machine. Feeling all the rushers Always keeps his jersey clean. Reads the D by intuition, The opposing corners fall That 'Hollywood' Trent Edwards Sure throws a mean football! Trent's a football wizard There has to be a twist! A football wizard, He's got such a supple wrist.

If I had a million dollars I'd buy us a D-End (Jason Taylor). Shall we upgrade or stand pat? Cotton, exciting and new Come aboard, Cotton is expecting you! Cotton, life's sweetest reward Let it flow, it floats back to you. Cotton's Boat soon will be making another run Old Cotton promises something for everyone Set a course for adventure Your mind on a new romance

Agreed, whether or not he had any wrong doing, don't put yourself in that situation, period.

I'm of the opinion that she's average at her job, not terrible, not great. She must have done something right thought to be on ESPN.

So I guess the critical questions then remains, Ax, would you do her?

Beautifully spoken Tipster. Tim Russert's legacy couldn't be summed up any better. Dwight, I'm right there with you man. The last couple of days are work I've had to step out a few times because I started balling... and no I'm not ashamed to admit it. This feels like I lost a family member.

Well thank you for your response Mr. Jock Sniffer. It shall be noted on the Imperial Scrolls along with other misc. gems of knowledge from the great thinkers of all time.

I've heard many a rumor about ESPN's Rachel Nichols being quite the little "slut muffin." I think she does a fine job and I wondered where these rumors got started? I've noticed people make mention of it both here and various other message boards and forums, and I wonder what gives? Was there some scandal or story she was involved in that's given her this reputation? Has anyone here planted their flag in the front yard or back yard at her house and can elaborate?

He was doin fitty fiiii in a fitty fooooo... he gots 99 problems but a *BEEEP* ain't one!

And you can eat a steak... at Fred's Rhode Island Chop House!
