Jon in Pasadena

As a long-time motorcyclist I can attest to the truth of this. The speed/size ratio of motorcycles is something that most car drivers' brains simply cannot process fast enough to react appropriately. My MC philosophy, which has enabled me to survive 25+ years of motorcycling in California, mostly in L.A., goes well beyond this however. I don't merely assume car drivers don't see me. I drive as if they do see me... and are actively trying to kill me. The second some cager asswipe starts doing anything goofy, I don't stick around to see what kind of festive cluster-!@#$ is going to ensue. I just go immediately to warp drive and put at least a couple of miles between us. (But I also do try my best to minimize lane-splitting, lane-sharing, and other behaviors that enhance the likelihood of a bad situation.)

That American citizens (I assume) evidently don't get this leaves me hovering somewhere between shocked and horrified. Maybe they'll grok it when one of their behaviours incites some !@#$tard to assault and injure them with no consequences to the assailant? Maybe??

Girl kinda got that Casey Anthony look goin' on.

"He's got 954 catches in the National Football League, that's a lot of catches...He has 153 touchdowns, that's a lot of points on the board." /Jauron

Freckles and a trout pout? What's not to like? j/k Yeesh,

The single pool has dwindled considerably since we met. But all of 'em in L.A. were evidently willing to move at least 6,000 miles at some point...

I was thinking the same thing. Why not just chuck it out of bounds there, in the vicinity of a receiver?

Nope. Assuming by "back then" you mean the superbowl years (early 1990's) there were a only a few teams using the 3-4 defense. In fact, other than Bills and Steelers, I'm hard-pressed to think of one. Maybe Niners or Broncs? I know the Giants used it back in '86 with LT, but they'd already switched to 4-3 by '91.

Maybe Sage is your brother?

Hey that's two whole data points with a negative slope. That proves we're heading into a nuclear winter! (Actually now that I think about it, I think that sometime in the early '70's I somehow got roped into being the token forlorn child in an anti-aerosol PSA that aired on local TV. I remember it was filmed in the middle of winter and I looked like a total douche in a huge puffy blue down jacket as I tearfully begged the philistines of WNY to stop using hair products and underarm deodorants.)

2 in the chest, 1 in the head. Done. Next.

My wife and all of her girlfriends are Japanese. I have lived a thousand lives. And died a thousand horrible deaths.

Yeah, like you've done better than cute twins... Oh wait, I thought you were talking about the donkey. Never mind.

G-Men defense beat the snot out of the "unstoppable" Pack offense today. The obit notice of " Defense in today's NFL" is premature. We need to add a stud WR on offense, but we need to massively upgrade our Defense to be competitive.

Can't even begin to conceive how much "practice" it would take to accomplish that feat..... I guess he'll probably enjoy his stay in the joint?

I hate it when you time-travellers from the future drop spoilers. Geez.

AFCE had a stupidly early bye week that season in week 4.

Not true. Flutie inherited a 1-3 team: Rob Johnson had a relatively decent outing in week #5, beating the San Francisco '49ers by a score of 26-21. RJ's stat line for the game was 19-27-254-1-0 He got injured right at the start of the week 6 game vs. Indy. Flutie took over (&won) and the rest is (becoming depressingly ancient) history. But your larger point about botching the QB situation in '99 still stands.

Nothing personal JfH, but I sincerely hope you end up throwing up your breakfast every week until the end of the season!

Nice KO by Moorman.

Unbelievable. Fitz having awful day.

Yes!

Age will do that to you. Oh, wait, maybe you meant your internet stream.

My favorite Dareus play so far. I loved that play. I believe my exact words were "Where the eff did he come from ?!?"
