  1. This is pretty messed up:

    Under Germany's welfare reforms, any woman under 55 who has been out of work for more than a year can be forced to take an available job – including in the sex industry – or lose her unemployment benefit. Last month German unemployment rose for the 11th consecutive month to 4.5 million, taking the number out of work to its highest since reunification in 1990.

  2. That may all be true, but you have to admit Steve Sabol is a genius. 

    I really think NFL Films a contributing factor in the NFL blowing away all of the other sports.  I mean, I'm only 24 and I have all 38 SB's pretty much memorized. 

     

    It's hard to put it into words.  There''s just something very powerful about the slowmotion footage of a players breath showing in the cold weather, the dirty jersey's, and that guy's voice.

    that's true, but these last 10 or so are so arsty-fartsy that it makes me sick. I love the OLD NFL Films, because it was non-stop football with great commentary. Now, these SB films are more about the entire "experience" instead of the game.... Like I give a rat's ass that there were lobsters on the photographers cameras during the Pack/Pats game...

  3. I'm beginning to hate NFL Films and these productions. Minus commercials - these things are 25 minutes long and the recent ones (the last 10 years) contain about 5 minutes of actual football, broken down into 5 plays - each shown 10 times, all in slow-motion, and from different angles.

     

    The other 20 minutes are filled with crap shots of goofy fans, photographers, confetti, etc....

     

    It's almost as if they are embarrassed about showing their actual product.

  4. I'll step aside while the SDS ass-kissing goes on... But before I do, I'll say that Scott, you do have a point. So there. I said it. Then again, that "filter to know when to shut up" was broken on me as a small child. So it will be tough.

    "ass-kissing" seems to be common accusation thrown around here, why I'm not sure, but I can safely assure you that no one is kissing my ass in this thread. Charles Manson could have posted that and received the same, if not better response.... :lol:

     

    Anyhow, I cut my 1st post short because I had to hit the road...

     

    Although it was said with sarcasm, the idea of starting a blog is EXACTLY why I bought the blog software. I was hoping it would have become more popular though.... Johnny Coli and Millbank get rave reviews for their stuff, so people are reading. It is an ideal place to for any poster to call their own and to really quench their creative thurst. Maybe this spring some of our more knowledgeable posters will start some quality sports related blogs....

  5. awwww... how sweet.

     

    Avoiding me is impossible? I started the thread jackass...

    But, really, it's sweet...

    perhaps you both are correct?

     

    Clearly you have your own fan club and that shouldn't be. But, you also need to ask yourself why you have this club.

     

    It may not be that your posts are any lamer than mine or anyone else's, but perhaps a fresh look at the frequency vs. relevancy of your posts may be helpful.

     

    You have to think that everyone reading a thread has an opinion on what is being said - in addition to having original opinions on all sorts of topics. The trick is to pick and choose which ones to post and which ones to pass on, while keeping in mind that no one wants to see any individual - you, me, ICE, SpikedLemonade, or whomever - dominate the conversation.

     

    My 2 cents....

  6. I'm trying FireFox one more time. I think I actually like it this time. My questions is this. I have seen posts here before about speeding up the browser and fixing some settings. Can anyone give me some information on it?

     

    Thanks

     

    What's the downfall to this browser?

    do a search in the archive.

     

    the downside is that some website coders may put IE specific crap ito their sites. They should be flogged.

  7. I'm good.  And you? 

     

    Tough year for the underdogs. :lol:

     

    PS: I see I've been fired. :lol:

    Hanging in there. New job last summer, new baby, new server, lot's of grief. :devil:

     

    You must have missed our million dollar hand shake meeting!

  8. The loss of Weis will hurt the Patriots the most, but it still won't be a fatal blow. Obviously, BB depends more on others to design his offense than he does for the defense. If someone has a better picture of Crennel's and BB's respective role in the defensive game-planning and play-calling please let me know.

     

    My main question is how the heck did New England only win 9 games in 2002??

    216089[/snapback]

     

    I don't think the losses will hurt much. From what I understand - BB let's his OC/DC game plan while he studies film for tendencies, etc... BB then goes around to every player and gives him the 2-3 items that will make them successful that week. THIS is where the separation from the rest of the league occurs. BB's success in passing along useful bits of info that puts his players in a position to make plays.

  9. Where it will show up, maybe, is when guys start leaving and the Patriots have to bring in new clowns to backfill their roster -- a couple years down the road, who knows?  Charlie and Romeo are able to coach up any scrub that BB hands them.  I mean they take a guy out of a classroom and he's instantly a solid nickel back helping you get to the Super Bowl?  Unreal!

    whoa! Hey - how are you doing???? :devil:

  10. I know this doesn't fit your parameters, but our Dyson upright (the yellow one) is incredible. The stuff it it picks up AFTER you vacuum with someting else makes you want to puke. However, it is $400 at Target...

     

    More often than not you get what you pay for. You may find yourself buying another one in 5 years instead of 15-20 witrh the Dyson.

     

    Other than that, I don't have any recommendations on more modestly priced vacuums.
