Stadium looks half full on a sunny day. Terrible.

That's a man's sack.

Line sucks dong so far.

Can't you find another person to put on your bedroom walls? Your obsession with me is tedious.

You're the one gobbling Eryn's knob because he called me a racist or something. I'd feel persecuted if you could carry an argument.

Align yourself with Eryn and the racist Dave. You and your posse sure pack a lot of intellectual firepower. I'm racist? At least you're thinking outside the box.

IF you're going to be racist, you might as well do it with wit. Good one.

Was reading around on sci fi skeptics to make sure I was not the only one. The show definitely established the premise that they can communicate (somehow) back and forth between times, but people can only go one way. In response to some criticism over some of the senseless science, there's an article on the TV Show's website that has the writers saying, literally, "It's TV. Relax." If LOST got consecutively worse season to season, I can hope Terra Nova gets better.

minus Spielberg's direction and Cameron's effects. Jurassic Park was a lousy movie, but with cool dinosaurs.

The nerds are letting me down. I was prepared to be disappointed--the hype was kind of too good to be true. So far, I'd give it a "meh." The back story was disjointed and senseless. Just a general, "We polluted things to death" sort of thing. Lots of unaddressed obvious sci fi questions. Not at all clear how the time portal opened. Not at all clear how 2 way transit is possible through the portal. Not at all clear why they wouldn't just send back the refugee guy and his daughter. Not clear why guns don't work against dinosaurs. Seems like putting holes in animals usually kills them. Avatar guy's dinohead table just stupid. I liked the mystery of finding writing on rocks 90 millions years before man evolved. You'd think they could have drawn that out instead of just explaining it as the Avatar dude's son already. I'll keep watching for a while but it kind of feels like a Sci-Fi science fiction show so far, and that's not a compliment. So far, there is no real interesting mystery driving the plot ("Why is a polar bear in an island in the Pacific?") There's some hint that there's some question but at the moment, nothing. Budding romances between teens introduced too early too. Can the writers let a few episodes build before pandering directly to the Twilight crowd? Father son tension was similarly forced and resolved too fast, although they will doubtless continue feeding that plotline. Hope they can slow down and build some characters at some point, and not get lost in the LOST problem of making everyone shallow. I really didn't find that much to like but it's high budget sci fi on a network, so I'll give it more time.

Working for a hospital hospice unit. Yeah, that's tangential. Way to undermine your argument.

Well, I have only 12 years of exposure to hospice care at 5 hospitals surrounding a major metropolitan center. What do I know?

Respectfully agree in part. Certainly, many people push for maximum care. At the same time, doctors are wired to fight to the death (literally). I understand that malpractice muddies the water of a doctor's ability to advise continuing to fight when the quality of life during the fight is not worth it, but that's an important moment. Doctors rarely, if ever, seize it. My perspective comes from my hoispice care wife, who works with lots of doctors and other health care professionals. Few doctors acknowledge or care to understand the concept of dignified death because in a way, it's anithetical to what they are trained to do.

Not that he created the idea but Magox has been trumpeting this for a long time here: Think of how much money we'd save by investing in wellness over cures. Heart disease, lung cancer, diabetes--top 3 killers in America...largely preventable with a healthy lifestyle. Add onto that all the back pains, orthopedic, gastrointestinals, skin ailments, sex drive, psycho-care--and a ton of this crap is 100% preventable with just a healthier lifestyle. But instead of addressing, let's say obesity at its root, we agree to pay for all the care for obesity-related sickness instead, which is assinine. My own peeve in health care is the amount of money spent and work done to prolong life a year or two at the end. Our doctors have no feel for when it's better to help someone die well than keep fighting and ruin their last few years.

Making plurals shouldn't be this hard.

Funny how no one even blinks at Evans's departure. Lee who?

The blockers all lined up to block for Hester so the defenders followed Hester too. The only person who followed the ball was the punter. Hard as hell to pull off but well coached.

They would probably play Vince Young but as has been pointed out, Vick will likely play. They aren't paying him 100M to sit out with a bruised non-throwing hand.

After a decade of not making the playoffs, I love a thread attacking a guy who is maybe the best head coach of all time. Awesome. And as far as this "he did nothing before Brady," SB winning Defensive coordinator 1986 SB winning DC 1990 SB losing DC (for Patriots) 1996 Somewhere in there, he took a dreck Cleveland team (Testeverde and Todd Philcox at QB!) and made them near .500 and even got them to the playoffs for a year. And sure, post-Brady, all he did was win 3 SBs and appear in 4. No Bills coach in the last decade could have done the same thing with Tom Brady. Let's be real here: Belicheck wipes his ass with the Bills coaches.

PPP instant classic.

It was an OK call but Wood went for that block as the DE became disengaged from Rineheart. It wasn't a bad call but it wasn't the definition of a chop block.

Yes, really. I despise Belechik but he didn't cost his team a timeout. He was either trying to get time put on the clock or arguing that the refs should not wind the clock or that the play was a TD so they could get the ball back. He HAD to take a timeout and did. Rich Gannon and you did not get that. Belicheck is probably the best coach in NFL history. I hate that he owns the Bills and love that he lost, but yesterday he was not a poor sport.

It was after the run to the one. They went to the replay booth. After review, they were set to restart the clock since FJ came down in bounds. Belichek was either wanting them not to start the clock or trying to get more time put on. He called the TO to insure the clock didn't restart. Smart move on all counts. The guy does what it takes to win, even when he loses.

He was laid way out in a diving tackle and (Byrd?) landed on him just as he hit the ground. I thought shoulder but chest also makes sense. His torso was crushed and he was pretty defenseless to protect it.

Blitzing Brady is a sucker bet. Not blitzing Brady is a sucker bet.I expect more pressure on Dalton.
