The half stripes on the arms kind of annoy me, but I would take that in a heartbeat.

A lot? There's 3.

But did he ever edit Gary Bettman's wikipedia page so that it says he "awarded" the Stanley Cup to Dallas? That's the true sign of a fan.

That article seemed like it was missing about 90% of the information on this story.

The difficulty speaking really didn't seem like much of a big deal to me. He's very new to this forum. He'll figure it out soon enough. The rest of your post really bugs me though. I just did a quick search and I saw that he moved to Olean in '75. Do you really expect someone living in a completely different part of the country to be a fan of a team from an area he has never actually been to? Sure, it probably helps that the team was where they were when he happened to move to the area, but in the end, that's just coincidence. This whole idea that someone can't be as big of a fan as someone else if they weren't there as long is a bunch of BS. The vast majority of the fanbase wasn't there from the start, so I guess that makes most of us bad or lesser fans.

George and Lucille Bluth

Can I get an executive producer credit?

I'd imagine that these people will find a new job pretty quickly. Someone will reward them for doing the right thing.

It's a very bold move. There just always ends up being nowhere near enough time in a movie to tell a story involving that many characters. So trying to tie things together with a series of separate movies does sound like a good idea. The problem is that there always winds up being so much time between the release of each of the movies. So maybe having Captain America and Thor coming out this summer will help with that. And I always forget about the Hulk connection for this planned movie since, if I remember correctly, Norton has already said he doesn't want to be involved in it.

It's a David E Kelley show? That one seems completely out of left field. I bet he finds a way to base the show out of Boston. I might just give it a shot since he's in charge. I can't see it working out though. This doesn't seem like the kind of show that would work in today's tv market.

I think a 3 word statement from Alabama about this guy would be more than enough: "You're an idiot".

Is it really political correctness though? I don't think it has anything to do with them thinking people will be insulted by the name. They're rejecting it because they know they'll be a laughing stock. They're not trying to be politically correct, they're trying to save face.

I wonder how closely they're working to tie all these movies together for the eventual Avengers movie. The Thor trailer makes it look like it is essentially a direct sequel to this movie since that SHIELD agent is all over it. Will the rest of the movies leading into the Avengers now have that close of a tie in the rest of the way?

I had to spend $30 to park my car for 4 hours today.

I'm not going to suggest that saving money is or should be a big factor here, but they are free to move Enroth back and forth to Portland as much as they want this year and next. If he's not going to play on any given night, he's better served getting the time in the AHL. At the same time, they wind up paying him less while he's down there. It sucks for Enroth, but it's a part of every you NHL player's contract and he agreed to it. At the same time, they also build a little bit of a cushion in terms of the salary cap just in case they do want to make a play for someone at the deadline. As for the injury thing, planning for injuries is not a luxury that most teams can have. At some point you have to take on that low risk and ride with what you have, so I don't really see there being much of an issue with keeping Enroth on the shuttle to the AHL. Once we hit the last couple games of the season? That might be a different case (but even then, there are restrictions on how many total callups they're allowed from Portland).

I'm sure it's a subject for a completely different thread, but I don't know how we can expect great advances in speech recognition when the vast majority of the people out there can't even speak in the first place.

It might as well be 9 points over those 9 games too. Not that I'm complaining, but assists really aren't Stafford's thing. And on that note, he does have 1 assist over that same period.

I wonder if the computer can possibly screw up in final jeopardy when it has the extra time to give its answer. I'll also be curious to see how it determines what to bet going into that round or for daily doubles (did it get any of those yesterday?).

So wait, that's who they are? That whole thread was just a week long plug for jeopardy? Anyway, I might check this out if I can figure out which station actually carries jeopardy around here. If nothing else, I'd like to see how they're actually setting up this whole thing.

Damn you. Ok, how is it receiving the answers? Does it read them off the screen? Does it listen to Trebek's voice? Or is there some other kind of input.

How is the computer receiving the questions?

Look at the stats over Ruff's time here. There's only one single occasion that wasn't brought on by injury where a backup goalie got significant playing time. Even if a 30 year old Hasek was Miller's backup today, he wouldn't be playing.

There are only 2 things that will cause some quality playing time for another goalie: 1. a new head coach 2. an injury to Miller

At first, the title made me think of 4 or 5 giant wolves. But still, that's some crazy stuff. It could make for an entertaining tv show.
