With Manning, McNabb, Cullpepper, Vick, Bledsoe, Pennington and Leftwich, this will be broken in short order..dont worry

Why is the game not being shown on saturday on sunday ticket? This is my big gripe here

Yeah, it says 5 year extension through 2005...so i dont get it. (just tivod it)

I just saw it on ESPN news myself. ITS TRUE!!!!!!!!

A friend of mine just told me he saw that schobel signed a 5 year extension on espn..didnt see how much. Did anyone else see this? I only ask because its possible he made this up. He has been wrong on stuff like this before

Upon further review, it appears that I cannot change the title of the post...tastes like chicken

Well, I wound up being a little off in my predictions last season...so i just used the same predictions for this year. I also play the same lottery numbers every week. No, really, these are my 2004! predictions....

Interesting, since they werent posted anywhere last year

I do this every year...I am usually quite off, but its fun none the less East W L New England 12 4 Buffalo 9 7 NY Jets 8 8 Miami 6 10 North W L Baltimore 10 6 Cincinnati 8 8 Pittsburgh 5 11 Cleveland 5 11 South W L Indianapolis 11 5 Jacksonville 10 6 Tennessee 9 7 Houston 6 10 West W L Kansas City 10 6 Denver 8 8 Oakland 6 10 San Diego 3 13 East W L Philadelphia 11 5 Washington 8 8 Dallas 7 9 NY Giants 6 10 North W L Minnesota 12 4 Green Bay 10 6 Detroit 9 7 Chicago 6 10 South W L Carolina 9 7 Atlanta 9 7 New Orleans 9 7 Tampa Bay 7 9 West W L Seattle 11 5 St. Louis 8 8 San Francisco 5 11 Arizona 4 12 AFC Division Winners New England, Baltimore, Indianapolis, Kansas City AFC Wildcard: Jacksonville, Buffalo NFC Division Winners Seattle, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Minnesota NFC Wildcard: Green Bay, Carolina AFC Championship Game: Kansas City vs. Indianapolis NFC Championship Game: Minnesota vs. Philadelphia Super Bowl: Indianapolis Vs.

Travis Henry? Oh wait...nevermind....Peters?

IMO this list is all hosed up. Detroit is better than #25, the cardinals will no longer be the worst team in the league, the giants are better than 28, the texans should be better than 26. The broncos are a strech at 10, the Aints at 13? This list is too much based on last season than it is on this current season. It doesnt matter though. We can be #32 in the rankings for all I care, as long as we are 10-6 I will be happy.

either way. Seven WRs, when you are only using one is VERY excessive

Yeah, WR is skeptical, but you have enough depth that you should get a productive season out of some of them. I am high on calico, but he is very much a questionmark. McNair is the kind of backup QB i like to have in my leagues, not a starter...but he will suffice. I dont think you win your division, but you wont be a bottom feeder either. soemwhere in the 3-6 range is my guess.

Burress is okay, but you dont have a single WR who will even be the #1 guy on his team! (except boldin who will be out for a while) Green should be allright, but by looking at the rest of your team, it appears you stretched to get him in round 3. I like Barlow and Portis...Westbrook is decent depth. TE leaves alot to be desired. I think you are going to be in trouble this season.

Well, a defense is a defense as far as i'm concerned. Unless you have one of the top defenses in the league (and it changes almost unpredictably each year), its not worth any more than your last couple picks, IMO. Vicks affinity for the ole injury bug does scare me, but he is still a very good QB and leftwich is great depth behind him. Though they both have week 9 byes. I was suprised by the rbs left as well. I picked #5 in the draft. and grabbed green, after Payton went extremely early. When it came back to me, vick was there. I was shocked that after picking taylor, henry was still around on my next pick, and i couldnt let him slip by, especially since vick, green and taylor all share the same bye week

12 TEAM LEAGUE QUARTERBACKS Micheal Vick Byron Leftwich RUNNING BACKS Ahman Green Fred Taylor Travis Henry Tiki Barber WIDE RECIEVER Donte Stallworth Roy Williams Peerless Price Chris Chambers Muhsin Muhammad TIGHT ENDS Freddie Jones LJ Smith KICKER John Kasay DEFENSE St. Louis Only Issue I see, is week 9 with the byes...also I would have liked a better defense, kicker and possibly better WRs. Let me know what you think

This dude is still around? My all-time least favorite bill.

Gildon for Flutie? Hmmm...

Nor did I...but Best Buy is giving them away to new customers....so what the heck!

Great guys. Thanks for your help. One more quick question. Can directv tivo system make its daily "phone call" over the directv satillite, or does it still need to be connected to a land line/intenet?

I currently have a stand alone TiVo unit. I was wondering if anyone knew how compatable these tivo brand units are with DirecTV. I know it was miserable with Digital cable, because you had to use the infared ports, etc. Also, does directv come into the house on standard co-axial cable? or do they actually have to run special wiring? I am going to be getting NFL ST. Best I can tell, right now you can get 4 months of the premium package free, free install, and I think a free DVR (via BB), if you sign up for NFL ST. Any other input would be appreciated Thanks

They should. And they are. You pay 25% of your income, they pay 35% Its called fair market value. BTW, gas prices in the US are very low compared to world prices. Perhaps if we drilled for our own oil in precious alaska we could have better control over our own oil. (And to think people were convinced this was a war for oil astounds me) We did not want another Sept 11th to occur. We feared it would happen. We had intellegence showing it was a real possibility. We took action. Why we only did a half stevestojan job though, is beyond me. Show me one recount. ONE. That shows gore won florida. I agree with your conclusion, but not your means of getting there.

Leftwich...

Per the 11am tracking report, it looks like it is trending northward, aimed right now at the jacksonville area, sometime around sunday morning. Leaving friday morning...you'll probably be okay.

See, this is just it. President bush went into iraq based on bad intellegence. I think its pretty clear he felt there were WMD in Iraq. He said it, Clinton Said it, Kerry said it. Virtually EVERYONE said they had WMD in iraq. (including France and Russia). I still think they had them and shipped them somewhere, but thats neither here nor there. I dont think there was any lying or deception involved, just bad information, which as president he is responsible for. The problem is, now that we are there, President bush will not do what needs to be done to get out of there. Instead he is letting our boys be picked off one at a time, because he doesnt want to take care of business once and for all and be done with it. He could have taken out sadr, but he chose not to. On the flip side of the coin, John Kerry says he would go to war in Iraq even knowing what he knows now about WMD. So the two essentially have the same plan. Except Kerry wants to turn our national security over to France and Germany, thus causing a less secure american and more attacks on our homeland and more deaths in america, and Bush wants to take the proactive approach, but not finish the job, thus leaving the blood of thousands of our armed forces in Iraq. There has to be a better way.
