Don't discount the 'blowing smoke up their windpipe' element of a lot of this talk. IIRC, players were making the same kind of comments about Jauron being a welcome change when he took over for Meathead....

I read that to mean the players and the S&C staff develop individualized training regimes, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. If the player thinks he's part of the 'plan,' he'll buy into it more...

The players aren't Supermen. There are a lot of guys outside the NFL who are as strong, if not stronger, than some players. But they're sitting home on Sunday drinking beer. Being able to lift a house is pointless if you don't have the speed, skill and mental intangibles to play in the NFL. Cutting down on injuries is a better goal than just lifting 'more'...

I seriously doubt anyone on the previous staff was preventing players from squating...more likely, they were letting them do their own thing (thinking, as Marv used to, that they're "mature" enough to put in the work). Still, it puts another nail in Jauron's reputational coffin... This Ross Tucker story gets to the heart of the injury problems the Bills suffered.

Lynch and his agent are clearly trying to force a trade, but there's no way Nix will roll over on his first big GM headache. Not a good sign it they had hopes of getting even modest value for him...

Man, we need more posts like these....

Definition of insanity: doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result....

Man, I can't stop thinking about 'The End.' If Aaron's one of the castaway's moving on from the sideways world, how come he's still shown as a baby? And will Claire and Charley be changing dipers in Heaven for all eternity? Sigh...

At Indiana, he was basically told to go downfield and get open. Learning to run NFL routes is a tough process for ANY college WR and it takes time. He's got a lot of work to do coming back from the ACL, but it's too soon to write him off, IMO...

Exactly. It's all TSW mental masterbation...

What function exactly does Rotoworld serve? All they're doing is infringing on Mark Gaughan's and Chris Brown's work....

Not me! BTW, I'm not a big stickler for plot incompatibilities, but could someone explain how the Donkey Wheel was attached to the 'light' source in the cave of wonders? Locationally, they seem to be on different parts of the island. Or is the Donkey Wheel something else altogether?

Gotta love the Internet: "This was originally posted in the Forums but the load crashed our servers lol. Thanks to empire for the following. This is making the rounds, not sure how true it is...but a worthwhile read if so"

"...uniquely bad time for us to have a problem with our digital equipment"

Peters was an undrafted FA, so not much of a stretch to be 'hidden'. Actually, your Brohm story reinforeces just how hard it is to draft any starting QB, as he was a highly-touted guy whose career's is now hanging by a thread after only a few years...

Hey, it mattered to ABC and affiliate advertising sales! I'm satisfied with the finale, especially (as many have said) the first 2.25 hours. Since season four, the thing that's kept me a fan has been the characters, rather than the plot anyway. Last night's series of vignettes on how the characters 'awoke' to their true situation was very well done. And seeing them all together in the church, partcularly the cast members who had died in earlier seasons, was a wonderful way to send the series off. I suppose Jack 'dying alone, so he could live together' in eternity with the people he most cared about completes the circle in a very nice way. As I posted a few weeks ago, I'll remember the cast/characters long after the plot gets fuzzy with memory (that shouldn't take too long!)...

I love how rumors take on a life of their own... http://weblogs.baltimoresun.com/sports/rav...uised_foot.html

It's still posturing, IMO. Neither team has any motivation to 'blink' until training camp opens...

The official TSW motto...

Maybe. But I'm more in the camp that it's a script discontinuity problem related to having to tie up so many loose ends than anything else. It seems like the writers occasionally drop a few of the multiple 'balls' they have to keep in the air at any given time, especially in relation to what transpired during the first three seasons. It's a minor point that doesn't distract from the show's enjoyment--but by now, regular viewers are such experts in the Lost Universe that it's tough for the writers to squeeze anything by them that might otherwise be ignored...

Yeah, but she wasn't cheating until after the wedding. So if Jacob knows the future to that extent, why all the hubbub around who his successor will be? I take Kate's question about "why they died" to mean Jin and Sun, so Jacob's answer included them, as well as the four in front of him: "Jacob says he will tell the group what they died for and why he chose them."

"...The Monster has been trying to kill him and that when it succeeded, someone would have to replace him: that is why he brought them all to the Island. Challenged by Sawyer, Jacob explains that he didn't drag anyone out of a happy existence but that they were all flawed." Didn't Jacob meet the Kwon's (and make one/both of them a candidate) at their wedding? They were pretty happy that day.

Nah. Just a green turtleneck...

"[Jacob] says that he chose them because they were all like him - all alone, all looking for something that they couldn't find." After Jacob said that, I wondered how it applied to Sun and Jin? They had their normal marital bumps, but I never doubted their deep love for one another. How would they be considered candidates, then?

This just in: we're talking entertainment, not politics. The race to the bottom to report the most 'truth' in the shortest possible news cycle is a dead end, IMO...
