  1. Robinson was like a "coach on the field". You know -- old and slow. RJ was double frustrating because he actually showed some flashes early on, like the one we won against the '49ers, or the one we should have won the previous week against the Rams. My recollection is we lost when the D let yet another QB (Tony Banks?) run it in for a TD.
  2. We've let quite a few slow QB's lurch into the endzone over the years. Peyton Manning and Chad Pennington are two of the more horrific examples seared into my brain.
  3. Taking your question at face value.... If you type an address into the search field in maps.google.com, you can often "zoom in" all the way to "street view" which is a series of photographs shot from a Google van as it cruised by that address. You can see exactly what the storefronts and what-not look like. But they're only updated every so often, so they're not necessarily current. Also, not always available for a given location. Prsumably, "Bayou" is a business that moved in at some time subsequent to the latest drive-by Googling.
  4. They definitely are somewhat to the left in many ways, but none of them include their weekly market recap. That's like the idiot from some minority rights advocacy group (could have been NAACP, but I'm not certain) a few years ago who was complaining about the "racism" in Hollywood because films include things like black cats, yellow taxi cabs and red firetrucks.
  5. Fail. The leadoff line in the article is "Stocks managed gains for the second week in a row despite tumbling Friday, as investors pulled back after the recent run." [emphasis mine]. Wow, those commie bastards almost just admitted how much they wish they could pick VA Bills's pocket and give the $$$ to ACORN to fund sub-prime crack house development. CNN's aftermarket FRIDAY business headline almost always summarizes the WEEKLY stock market movement. Whether it's up or down. And often puts it in context (down for 3rd week in a row, up for 2nd, whatever). Finally, in the context of the wild swings of the past 6 months or so, 122 pts on the DOW is hardly a "hammering". More like a faint tapping.
  6. It depends on what the definition of "pork" is....
  7. Never cared for the stuff myself; made me feel stupid and nauseated, and that's not exactly something I strive for. That said, I have no problem with legalization provided that severe penalties are enforced for actions that threaten public safety (DUI/DWI, operating heavy equipment while impaired, etc.)
  8. I can't spend much time on these boards, so when I have a clear shot, I gotta take it.
  9. If you had the slightest clue how utterly ignorant this statement is, you'd not only change to a new handle, you'd also change your IP. Better yet, your ISP.
  10. You read English at the rate of 0.8 words per second? So, what's your first language?
  11. Maybe they gave him a free brain transplant before being discharged. That could explain the diagnosis.
  12. What a coincidence. I'm glad you don't live in Cali, too!
  13. Bills vs. Pats = rettata
  14. You underestimate Jauron's excavation skills.
  15. That would go against the Bills' tradition of letting their best players go for nothing, and needing to use a high draft pick to fill the holes they create.
  16. That would possibly be the only pay-for-view event I'd ever shell out $$ to see.
  17. We're lulling them into a false sense of security.
  18. Yeah, gale force wind conditions are the perfect time to start flinging the pigskin all over the place.
  19. We gonna cover this Evans dude, or what?
  20. If there's any karma at all, the sideline official will get run over and squashed later in the game for that BLATANT non-call.
  21. Hate bacon. Always have. I like brussels sprouts, broccoli, spinach. Peas, not so much.
  22. Thought that went without saying...I was just economizing on posts & combined chuckle & serious reply, only I forgot the chuckle part.
  23. Still works out to $10K / household. I wouldn't turn it down. I'll need a car soon, when my soon-to-be 16 year old Saturn finally bites the dust.
