stevestojan Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Tonight is the SECOND CONSECUTIVE GAME back for Tedy Brewski after suffering an almost deadly stroke less than a year ago. Please folks, tape or TiVo the game. If not for yourself, for your children and posterity reasons. I'm getting choked up just thinking about it. Wow, to be alive today and witness such a heroic event. Go Tedy!
ch19079 Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 the colts should wear a sticker on thier helmets with Bruschi (We're not worthy!)'s number on it.

Wow, to be alive today and witness such a heroic event. Go Tedy! 497110[/snapback] Tedy Bruschi (We're not worthy!) believes in giving credit where credit is due. You sir apparently do not. TiVo is a registered name, and as such should be followed by one of these: ©®™ --though I'm not sure which one applies. In the future when you refer to Tedy Bruschi (We're not worthy!) in print please check your sources, never plagarize, use proper punctuation and remember to conjugate those verbs. Tedy is a stickler for conjugation. And, of course use the proper symbol thingy whenever necessary. Tedy thanks you for your continued support.
Rubes Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Don't forget...you too can play the "count the hits" game and see if you can find as many Bruschi (We're not worthy!) hits as the media.

(We're not worthy!) hits as the media. 497177[/snapback] I'm in, but I just need clarification on one thing. If he has a huge play (such as a sack, fumble recovery, touchdown, etc), and his teammates give his a congratulatory hit on the helmet and/or ass, does that count as an official "hit"?
BF in Indiana Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I'll be at the non-virgin girlfriend's house.

Not only that, but he will also then get at least partial credit for the spectacular play.
Rubes Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I'll be at the non-virgin girlfriend's house. 497187[/snapback] Is that "newly" non-virgin, or is this someone else?
BillsObserver Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 Yeah! Another Brus-chi thread. Woohoo. 497115[/snapback] "Tonight is an historic night!!!"
stevestojan Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 "Tonight is an historic night!!!" 497207[/snapback] i'm pretty sure I used the proper grammar there. I believe the word historic SHOULD be preceded by AN not A.
aussiew Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I'll be at the non-virgin girlfriend's house. You make out during a football game??? Geeeeez, is nothing sacred to you?
billsfanmiami(oh) Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 i'm pretty sure I used the proper grammar there. I believe the word historic SHOULD be preceded by AN not A. I don't think so.
stevestojan Posted November 7, 2005 Author Posted November 7, 2005 I don't think so. 497215[/snapback] Any English Majors/Teachers around here? Historic starts with a "soft" H. Thus, I think you use the word "an" before it. Does anyone know for sure? (Wow, you know the Bills suck when this is what we're talking about). Actually, I think I should have used "an" before "heoric", too.
Bear Posted November 7, 2005 Posted November 7, 2005 I would have to say "no", but if one of his teammates does something spectacular and he gives them a smack on the helmet, then that definitely counts as a hit. Not only that, but he will also then get at least partial credit for the spectacular play. 497189[/snapback] In the interest of correct scoring, if Bruschi (We're not worthy!) misses a big play and pumps his fists or claps his hands together in frustration, that is also considered a "hit". But my dream for tonight is that he can make another unbelievable missed tackle in the backfield. Damn, that was just awsome. AWSOME!!!

As for the other subject of this thread, I hope he dies. EDIT: From Guide to Grammar A or An. Use an in place of a when it precedes a vowel sound, not just a vowel. That means it's "an honor" (the h is silent), but "a UFO" (because it's pronounced yoo eff oh). This confuses people most often with acronyms and other abbreviations: some people think it's wrong to use "an" in front of an abbreviation (like "MRI") because "an" can only go before vowels. Poppycock: the sound is what matters. It's "an MRI," assuming you pronounce it "em ar eye." Edited November 7, 2005 by Johnny Coli

If he has a huge play (such as a sack, fumble recovery, touchdown, etc), and his teammates give his a congratulatory hit on the helmet and/or ass, does that count as an official "hit"? 497183[/snapback] Congratulatory hits count as one hit; add a half (use an "a" here as it is not a silent h) hit if it causes a minor stroke (numbness, even dumber look on his face, etc.) and two full hits if one side is paralyzed enough to cause him to run in a lopsided circle.
