Rubes

There are some decent wings here, but nothing really that close. Most places here place a heavy emphasis on the sauce. Although I like that, it's also all about how they're cooked. And you just have to have good bleu cheese on the side. None of this watery, ranch-style crap. The woman that owns the place that does the italian ice came from Philly, and she does soft pretzels too. But I have no idea if they are authentic. The cheesesteak place just rocks. It's called "Moochie's Meatballs" and the guy, also from Philly, makes a mean meatball.

One of the best runs I have seen in person was a run Antowain made against the Raiders a few years back, I think Flutie was the starter at the time. Smith ran around left end, turned the corner, and met the safety head on at the line of scrimmage. There was a huge POP as Smith laid his shoulder into the safety, who dropped to the ground like a sack of wet cement. There was nobody behind him and Smith ended up with a 70 yard TD or something like that. Impressive. The other great run I saw in person was Thurman's rookie season against...the Raiders again. 37 yard TD straight up the middle, not a defender in sight anywhere. It was the largest hole opened up by an offensive line in the history of the game.

Damn straight. And good food at that. It doesn't surprise me that some restaurant in Chicago couldn't get it right. I lived there for 8 years and they can't even do a frigging hot dog right. I mean, seriously: celery salt? WTF? There's a place out here in Salt Lake that does authentic Philly cheesesteaks and italian ice, and they're awesome. But no good Buffalo food. It's a crime, really.

I saw Kiss Kiss in the theater a while back. I really liked it...good writing, very witty, and Robert Downey and Val Kilmer did a great job. Good flick!

Interesting. Thanks.

I missed that...what did he say?

My lasting impression is that TD was great at wheeling-and-dealing, but he scored poorly in two primary areas: talent evaluation and team building. He's probably not even that bad as a talent evaluator. He scored some nice hits over the years, but these were far outweighed by his bad picks, which helped to set this team back a few years. But mostly it was his approach to team building, as many here seem to recognize. But to be fair, I still think there is nobody I'd rather have sitting on my side when there's a deal to be made and I want the better end of it. Oh, and Peter King deserves a B word slap.

Ernie Vegas, baby.

Oh that's good stuff. It'll kick your booty, too. Almost unbelievably, we have some really good quality microbreweries out here in Utah.

This is definitely one of the funnier threads in a while...

I'm not sure why, but this just cracked me up.

You can't find the food anywhere else, I'll tell you that.

Wow, I thought they had already shot the last 8 episodes. Apparently not. But then again, they're the last 8 episodes, so who really cares?

But then he will make a remarkable comeback and be treated like a near God as everything he posts will become the Absolute Truth. He will then be courted by Suzy Colbert.

Predicting that some dude named Rosh Reed won't make the team is a bold one? Edit: Wow, that was fast.

I think it was more like a 4th and 2 play so he threw a -4 yard pass.

Meh. Didn't work for Jake Plummer.

I watched part of that, too. Nice production.

Bills 2005 Offensive Linemen...a list that will live in infamy!

Nick, that blog entry for game #2 was classic...how's your eye?

I read the front page of TBD.

And I like this quote from the blog: Damn, if he can pin it down to that narrow a range, why even give a range?

I can see it now. KFFL will report "Undrafted rookie WR impresses coaches, may have shot at roster spot." Then it will get picked up by internet hacks everywhere.

"Wobbly State" Meh. If I were in charge, I would've used: "Czech Please."

Welcome to Utah! Actually, if you had entered with me, they would have waived the membership fee. I've been going there long enough that they pretty much give me my annual membership renewal for free. Remember to let me know when you're back in town...
