Rubes

The thing I will never understand is how embarrassed some women will be upon exposing their panties like that, and yet many will wear exactly the same amount of material as a bathing suit and think it's perfectly cool. Well, I think it's cool, anyway.

The USA Today article linked earlier had some good info. JAX has a lot of potential but they have some problems to start the season. -Kyle Brady will be out for the first two games, and his backup may also be out. So their 3rd string TE may be the starter in Buffalo. -Fred Taylor suffered a foot injury and hasn't played much in the preseason; who knows how much it will still be affecting him in Week 1. -Reggie Williams, the rookie WR, will be starting as the #2 WR. He hasn't done much in camp, but they are thin at WR. -They have some serious question marks at DE; their two starters totalled 1 sack last year. -Christie was cut, leaving them with a rookie kicker. -They have some decent DBs, but only one of the four is playing the same position as last year. This could be a team to contend with soon, but they still have some things to work out. It will be interesting to see how they come out to start the season.

Not to mention the "Ball Touching An Extremity While the Player Lay Unconsious Out-Of-Bounds Rule"

"physical evidence" found on the man....

Is this true?? I had never heard this before.

Finally...the most sane post I've read here in a long time. So much better than all the inane chest-thumping and trash talking!

What, McGahee being the #2 fantasy comeback player?

The thing I'm looking forward to is Drew and the offensive line getting more and more comfortable with the offense as the year goes on. I think by week 5 we will see more effective line play and a more efficient offense.

Details, details. Still, you can't argue with stats like that.

UUUUUUUUUUUTES!! I know, I know...it's still fun, though #19 and counting!

Pennington has 27 TDs and 0 ...yes zero...INTs over his entire career in the red zone. Damn, if only Bledsoe...never mind

Just watching SportsCenter...haven't watched it in a while...but is Scott's left eye getting worse? Looks like it's barely even open. By the way, Eric Moulds named #5 fantasy comeback player this year...McGahee at #2!

The reaper? Man, I don't like Pucillo's play, but can't say I would wish that on him...

I'll be happy when I see it happen in the regular season once the stevestojan hits the fan and we really need a score...

Yeah, you're both right, I should probably leave Saturday, but it seems like such a waste getting there a full 24 hours before I really need to be there. The difference in airfare, surprisingly enough, is pretty minimal. With the wife being out of town then, I guess it makes sense to leave earlier.

Found out I need to go to a conference in Atlanta the weekend of the huge Phins game at home...the conference starts Sunday night at around 6pm, so I need to be there for that. Problem is, I'm going from Salt Lake City to Atlanta, and the two-hour difference creates a challenge. Do I: 1. Take the flight out of SLC Sunday morning at 6 freaking AM, so I can get into Atlanta by 11:30, with a little time to spare to get to a Bills bar in Atlanta 2. Take the 7:40AM flight out of SLC and arrive right around 1PM, so I'll probably miss the first half 3. Leave Saturday afternoon and blow my whole weekend, but be in Atlanta for an extra half day just so I can be available to find a Bills bar to see the whole damn game Wife doesn't care, she'll be out of town that weekend anyway. Anybody know a good Bills bar in Atlanta? The conference is at the Grand Hyatt Buckhead, whatever or wherever the hell that is. Thanks brethren.

All I can say is this: Last year, we really stunk. Bad. That team was painful to watch sometimes, maybe even most of the time. Sure the defense was pretty good, but the lack of turnovers was really pathetic, and really hurt us. The offense and special teams were dismal. Yet, as bad we were, we still managed 6-10. A few balls bouncing the other way and it's easily 8-8. I just refuse to believe we will be as damn awful as we were last year. And we won't be. The offense WILL be better. The defense WILL get more turnovers. The special teams WILL improve, at least some. There is reason to be hopeful, that is for sure. How hopeful, me not know.

Damn, that almost brought a tear to my eye. Be safe, stevestojan head!

I'm not sure, but my feeling is that one of those two (Pucillo or Sullivan) will stick. I don't think you can overstate the importance of having a backup OL who can come in at the drop of a hat. The real question is: has McFarland done well enough to earn a roster spot, or is he PS material? My guess is the latter. I think we will keep 9 linemen and the backups will be Price, Sobieski, Tucker, and Sullivan (since Sully can play either guard or tackle).

It's a tough choice, for certain. It looks like we'll be keeping 5 tackles and 4 ends. Ritzmann is just not ready for prime time, it seems, so that leaves the competition between Gildon and McKenzie. I haven't seen much of preseason play so far, so it's hard for me to comment. But I do think, unless McKenzie has really risen above Gildon, that Gildon has the edge since he can play two positions.

He has many books...I remember reading one some 10-15 years ago, and laughing so hard I was crying.

When the Dolphins sign a defensive end that even the Buffalo Bills cut, that's saying something.

an injury-free game

Good luck, man.
