If Eddie Johnson can stay heathly, he'll become a superstar striker on the International stage. His footskills and finishing abilities are awesome and only getting better. Everyone talks about Adu being the future of US Soccer, but my money's on Eddie.

USA = Buffalo Sabres A team that believes in their coach, their system and their teammates. They have great goaltending with no big name stars. Just a solid team from the starting 11 to the guys on the bench.

Since I'm probably the only guy at TBD going with USA tickets to the World Cup, here are my thoughts... USA is in the Group of Death. It's the toughest group on paper ... however because of the US style of play, I like our chances. Italy is OVER-RATED. I know that will piss one guy off here but it's true. Half of their players don't even want on the WC team because of the pressure that comes with it. Italy has faltered when it counts and USA can match up well against them. Czech is an aging up and down team. They do well outside of the WC but have failed to qualify until this time around. They also have injury problems with Baros and Nedved. I think we have a serious chance at winning this game outright. Ghana = 3pts for USA, Italy and Czech. My feelings are USA gets 1st or they don't make it into the Round of 16. 1. USA - 7pts 2. ITA - 5pts 3. CZE - 4pts 4. GHA - 0pts

As I mentioned before, the Sabres have had the B&G designed jersey ready and it has been in secret hiding for some time. About 24 minutes into today's Sabres podcast, Larry Quinn said the team will unveil their new B&G jerseys when the NHL officially changes over to new-styled Reebok jerseys. This was supposed to happen before this season but the league felt it wasn't fair to their current licensees so they have pushed it back. http://www.sabres.com/./content/media/TMS-11-30-05.mp3 You might have to register to become a Sabres Insider. Now I don't feel like a complete moron, just a semi-moron for jumping the gun.

I'm only one hour into the special but some of the theories are mind blowing including that of a time or space wormhole. One theory is that their is a warmhole that warps into The Lost City of Atlantis. Stargate Fanatics must love that. It amazes me that the Triangle is never really talked about in the media even when things go missing 20-25 times a year. Is there something really abnormal there or is it just the ocean being itself?

Not to take away from his shootout goal but that move is pretty easy to pull. He gets props from me for actually going that route in a meaningful game. However, if he doesn't score, he would have heard a lot from his team. I still don't like that fact that teams get points for losses. It's cheap but the NHL is better than it has been in over 10 years. Go Sabres!

This is simply a PR move for CBS to help promote Category 7. Unfortunately, there were a week too late.

In NY State, I think they are legally obligated to do it at no cost.

Since I bought the car in June of 2000, I've never had the cooling system flushed. I have just under 100k miles on the car and when I had my car in for a NYS inspection this week, they told me I should look at getting it flushed as it was starting to get bad. I'd like to do it myself for the sake of learning how to do it myself. The money isn't an issue. I'd know how to fix computers and other crap like that, but when it comes to cars, I don't know jack. One can't be a man unless he knows how to fix something on a car. As for disposing the fluids, I'm under the assumption that you can take the fluids to any auto garage and they are legally obligated to dispose of it for you.

The cooling system in my car (2000 Pontiac Grand Am GT) needs to be flushed and filled. I got quoted $40 which is a great price but since I will be buying a new car in the near future, I would like to learn how to do some of this auto stuff on my own. Here's what I gathered on what I need to do. Let me know if I'm missing anything. 1. Remove the drain plug under the radiator. 2. Let the old crap drain out. 3. Take a hose to the overflow tank and run water thru it for five minutes. 4. Put the drain plug back on and fill the radiator with water. 5. Start and run the car for five minutes. 6. Drain out the water. 7. Refill with new antifreeze. Seems pretty simple I hope.

There are rumblings about WGR returning to streaming in 2006. But I also heard the same thing last year.

Yep, what's with the NFL blowing game changing calls in the Bucs favor this year?

I love Prisonbreak as well but did you hear what FOX will be doing with the show? They are going to delay the final 8 episodes of until May sweeps I believe. People will long forget about what happened.

My favorite sitcom on TV! FOX announced it will sh-t can Arrested Development after it finishes 13 episodes this season. http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20051111/tv_nm/shows_dc If you watched this show from the beginning, it's hard not to argue that it's the funniest thing on TV. I hope to God HBO picks this show up, it seems like the show would be a perfect match for Curb Your Euthusiasm viewers. "I've made a huge mistake." There's a funny outtake on the Season 2 DVD where Tobias goes off in character about maybe it's not the show that's responsible for bad ratings and maybe it's the marketing arm of FOX.

Undoubtedly, LOST is like that super hot girl at the party that no one can get with. For whatever reason she takes a liking to you and flirts with you all night long. It's fun flirting all night and then it gets even better at the end of the night when she asks you to come back to her place. You get there, you both get naked and then BAM ... she tells you to put your clothes back on and come back next week. You figure nothing will come of it but do you come back? Yes, because she's the best game in town. LOST is far from jumping the shark.

Shannon better not be dead. I don't care what hokiss pokiss the island needs to pull, but that hot P.O.A. better survive. Kate is great but there needs to be a hot blonde as well for harmony. Mamacita isn't cutting it for me since she spit out Aaron.

Whoa, so apparently the voices are speaking backwards as well. I can't make it out. I will try to optimize the audio at work tomorrow and I'll post it for everyone. It sounds like one is saying "The [in Audible] Is Near" After playing it multiple times, I hear "The Eye..." "The Hive..." and "The High "something"... is near"

I just can't get into writing a blog for the show anymore. Nothing to do with the show and everything to do with me being to busy to work. Anyways, my contribution today... Walt in the tent said "They're coming and they're close." Of course this was in reverse language.

H O L Y F _ _ K ! ! ! I made a HUGE mistake. FSU Grad School here I come!

How can I feel sorry for the City of Buffalo and Erie County when we the people of this city and county elect morons to run it. Putting aside political beliefs. The race for Mayor of Buffalo should not have been but was all about a Democrat vs. a Republican. That's what won it for Brown, it has nothing to do with him and his ideas and everything to do with the party flag he was waving. Brown will be another disaster. He's a puppet to the unions and every other special interest that is holding this city back. He promises to make a better Buffalo, and he will, he'll make it better for his masters. Helfer saw things differently, he saw that the city needed to take one step back to move two steps forward. We have to get rid of the garbage in place now so we don't have to jump through hoops to get things done in the city. Even the liberal Buffalo News saw him as one of the best things that could have happened to the City. Nevertheless, this is all moot. It just sucks that we have to reep what we sow because the majority is to stupid to avoid party lines.

What a slut-skaya!

According to IMDB, the movie is in production and scheduled to be released late summer 2006. However, the title is "Category 8: JP Losman"

At least Buffalo built a new minor league ballpark. Oh, and we built TWO bridges somewhere too. Maybe the Superspan has been built and subsequently destroyed.

How about "Reformist" ... as in, they want to reform the population of the world to include only radical Islamist.

Ah, so you are against us like I thought. I got a website for you commie ... go here to be surrounded by your brothers. BTW ... your soccer team sucks too. Overrated bunch of swan divers. I don't think I like this guy. What a great thread to head into the weekend!
