  1. Subway's screwed up my order enough times that I've wanted to whack the "sandwich artist" with that metal toaster tray but I've never even thought about calling 911. Interesting....
  2. I would guess that if he took a big deal to play in Greece it would be less about the annual salary and more about expanding his global image. More global exposure = more markets for him to pimp sneakers, soft drinks and fast-food chains...
  3. If I am I'll be calling a doctor and/or finding a new team to root for.
  4. This is the first thing you've posted that I agree with.
  5. Isaac Hayes, the pioneering singer, songwriter and musician whose relentless "Theme From Shaft" won Academy and Grammy awards, has been found dead at home. He was 65. The Shelby County Sheriff's Office says a family member found Hayes unresponsive near a treadmill on Sunday. He was pronounced dead about an hour later at Baptist East Hospital in Memphis. The cause of death was not immediately known. LINK RIP, Chef.
  6. Did anybody see "Scanners"?
  7. That would require Jauron showing a little emotion.
  8. After reading some of the "Losman sacked" comments during the GDT I rolled back the DVR to see what happened, and you're right - there was little JP could do on that play. You can see the receivers were all bunched up in the middle of the field, about 7 yards from the LOS, and the only "open" option was the RB flaring out to his left, but it looked like there was a LB spying him. The tackles did a decent job of giving him a pocket to step up into, but Doughty came up the middle and got to JP before he could make a move. JP played good - not great, and not terrible. He had a couple bad throws, some good throws, but most importantly he was productive and found a way to get the ball into the EZ. Does it mean a lot, being in the first preseason game and against second-stringers? No, not really. But it does show that contrary to what some here post, he does have some skills and at the very least can be counted on if/when Trent goes down.
  9. D-Wade looks solid (19 points) and LeBron has 18. See some occasional lapses back into the NBA isolation mentality but for the most part they seem to be moving the ball around a lot more than we've seen in the past.
  10. 74-48 at the end of the third, outscored China 25-11 in the period.
  11. Personally I'm unimpressed by James so far, and I'm not real excited about pinning our secondary hopes on two rookies and a guy who has struggled to stay healthy for much of his carer (James.) Unless they are 100% confident that McKelvin and Corner are going to play well right off the bat and that James will be healthy and productive, I wouldn't trade Youboty.
  12. Don't forget "Theodis" McKelvin and "Jabar" Greer. Way to do your homework, Patrick... Replace that "WITHOUT" with "and" and I will agree completely. Couldn't stand any of them when they were in the booth for Sunday Night Football on E$PN.
  13. Maybe it's the jersey number... Same here.
  14. The slug is an awful abortion of a logo, and like the Bills, the white jerseys are pretty bad. (Although they would be much better if they would adopt an alternate-color slug for the whites - maybe a blue slug for the white jerseys, like the Laffs do with their maple leaf.) The Sabres blues are pretty good (again, slug notwithstanding) and the third jerseys are supposed to be pretty cool this year - darker versions of the blue throwbacks. But there is no way you can call them the worst uniforms in all of pro sports, and there is no way in hell they are worse than the Astros horizontal color scheme. Hell, they're not even the worst unis in the NHL - but they are bottom 5. Any team that features orange, purple or teal as one of their primary colors is automatically under suspicion (I'll allow exceptions for the Browns, because they have a classic look, and the Jags, since they went with teal and black.)
  15. Wow, what a shocker. RIP.
  16. Actually if you look at the box score, you can see his ineptitude went further than missing the final 8 straight. He managed just one completion and threw two picks over his last two drives. A full-out implosion at the end of the game for Dorsey.
  17. Led the Browns with 5 catches for 70 yards, but had a couple get away from him late in the game. For the most part I thought he looked pretty good.
  18. Darth Vader is Luke's father.
  19. Awesome. But all the problems with Vista are moot. It turns out that it's just a perception issue - that users love Vista when they don't know they're using Vista... Mojave
  20. Yeah it looks cool and would be nice to have, but that $30 could best be used elsewhere.
  21. That was a nasty little storm that came off the lake...we're about 15 miles south of the stadium and it was the first time in a long time that a storm knocked our DirecTV signal out and made the power flicker. Interesting note about the storm and his highness' presence, according to the AP story: As Favre walked to the Jets locker room, it was reminiscent of two previous trips he made to Ohio in 2003. Favre and the Packers had their appearance cut short in the Hall of Fame game in Canton by torrential rains and lightning. Nine days later, they arrived in Cleveland minutes before the massive power outage that crippled the northeast and Canada for several days. Favre went 7-for-10 the next night in a preseason game against the Browns.
  22. Same here. I think it will be caught up to, rather than catch on. Maybe it works well in high schools and possibly college where teams simply don't have enough talent to defend it, but I can't imagine it working past the lower college level. Every offense can be slowed down or stopped.
