Check it out about 3/4 of the way down. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story...=simmons/081003 Talks about how he is happy to all the people who emailed him and gave info. Future column forthcoming.

Yea, I'm seeing Trey in Boston, which just became a whole whole lot more interesting(I was quite quite pumped to begin with). I hope they come and play Boston so bad when they announce more tour dates. Not the damn Comcast Center either. They need to rock out the TDBanknorth!

Another reason to defer to the second half is that you can start your base defense; most likely your best. Also, if you get a three and out you are automatically winning the field position battle(if you cover the kick well), and it is much harder to convert a third and long than a third and short, and it is much more difficult to run the ball early when the defense is fresh making third and long more likely. A long sustained drive to start the second half should be easier, because running should be easier(unless you are going against the Bills defense) and is much more important since it will wear a team out for the fourth quarter. Could it explain the 45-10 edge in the fourth? Probably not, but certainly might be a contributing factor.

I might be completely wrong, but wouldn't stock prices have been at a bubble a bit with investors speculating that the bill would pass, and when it didn't they cut their losses? How much is the market down compared to last week? Sure they are down, but the 1 trillion number may be a bit short term? Again I could be totally wrong.

Nope, people older than me did that, and now they want to spend my money to fix it. Honestly I am in a state of shock right now, and I don't know how to react. Could someone far more literate in these matters please either give me a nice piece of advice as to what I should do, or possibly point me in the right direction. I finally got a job! It's in finance (opposite of !).

Yea, I saw it when it happened, and at first I was hoping he was going to be ok, and how he wanted the contract extension, and made Peters' holdout a bit more palatable (except for the whole 3 years left thing). Then I got pissed! Why the hell are they trying to score there? The best that happens is they get a touchdown, so what? The worst...well we basically saw it. Hearing that he is alright is a very good thing, and I hope the Cardinals coach has to answer a lot of questions about that decision; he put 22 players in totally unnecessary risk, just plain dumb.

The Bills never trailed in the fourth quarter of the Cowboys game until there was not time left. The Bills offense, IIRC, never got the ball back in the fourth quarter while trailing, and therefore doesn't count as a loss in terms of this study. What if they did get the ball back with I don't know thirty seconds left, and had to start on the 15 or something. Is that considered a failed comback attempt? That would hardly be fair.

I really like Trent Dilfer as an analyst. He really seems to know what he is talking about. I heard him on Mike and Mike a bit back, and he really seems to have a very deep understanding not only of what it is like to play(obviously), but he also has great insight into the intricacies of what makes particular teams good. However, the best part about him is the way that he is able to express his opinions not only coherently, but also in a manner that speaks to the common fan. He is like a very knowledgeable friend. *Lovemode over*

Here comes the Gimp.

Man I hope that they do it against the Jets, and the Jets game gets moved to Sunday night, just so I can hear Madden try and announce that. Just thinking about all the things he might say are crackin me up right now; "Ya see he's laying down like he's taking a nap or something, then all of a sudden, boom there he goes." Drawing zzzz's over Jackson's head or something. And you know Favre's face would be super classic. This needs to happen!

Yea going along with what others have alluded to, I think that they may have been trying to get Jacksonville to kick it where they didn't think anybody was in order to keep it away from McGee. Then all of a sudden another player pops up, and returns it when the kicking team was not expecting a return, or at least a return from a competent return man.

I think they called him in the grasp before Stroud hit him. The replay looked like Youboty had him by the legs, and the official was waving the play down before he got any help.

Come on, Allen had this really cool headbandy thing on, did anyone else see it???? It was soo cool, I think he was auditioning for "A Chorus Line." Can't you just see him wasted driving around singing "I hope I get it?" That headband alone is worth like a fifth round pick. The possibility of him taking a mug shot with it on, priceless.

Just saw this too!

Oh yea, well I think conditioner is better, because it leaves the hair silky and smooth. So quite lookin at me swan.

Not if you get a holy fish first.

Some players are better coming in off the bench even if they play the same number of minutes as the starter (Manu for example). Maybe this is the thinking, especially since a high energy, high effort guy may wear out the defense early, and allow the rest of the rotation to be more effective late.

True, but it could also mean that the teams with those players on their roster are excellent talent evaluators (or just lucky) and that could translate into a better roster all around. Notice I didn't say draft choices, but players on the roster, because as we all know you don't have to draft a player....Yes I am using a bit of hopeful logic to associate the Bills FO to greatness!! Of course you do need to pay your player....but your players also need show they want to get paid, what a mess.

Um at top Federal Level: Judicial = Supreme Court; Administrative = White House; Legistlative = Congress

Keep in mind though that if you forget what happend in the past your bound to repeat it. Perhaps the Iraqis are already on their feet, and just need to be given the autonomy to sink or swim. I don't know, but I am hoping that Obama has done analysis of the situation, and he thinks the Iraqis are ready, otherwise I agree the Iraqis will sink.

The Crusades? The Inquisition? You are comparing homsexuality to pedophilia? I don't care what your beliefs are, but one is two conscenting adults, while the other can permanently scar a child. So when the Church sent out the troops to invade a nation for a grrrraaailll to bring eternal life, that was actually people acting independently of the Church? No. So you conceed that a vast majority of Islam may likely be peaceful? Vast beliefs sure, so let's lump them all together, excellent idea! Yes, patriotism is wearing a flag pin, not an ideological way of thinking. I'm not even addressing this anymore, sorry I want to, but I really don't want to say anything mean. As far as the church he attended, and Rev. Wright, I think that it brings questions up that need to be answered, but there are many reasons to choose someone as your mentor. You can addimently disagree with someone on certain topics, and still respect the means by which they got where they got to. He doesn't necissarily have to agree with everything or even anything, if he respects the way he is able to help the community he works with. I doesn't matter, I agree. If you want to approve of having a nation full of people with a moral level of 2 or if you're lucky 3 that's fine. However, I don't. And how does it harm people? Children have the potential to reach a level of morality that is different than their parents. When parents poison them with immoral retoric, I feel that is damaging their ability to attain self-actualization, and borders on child abuse.

He gave up hundreds of thousands of dollars to be a community planner. Either real stupid, nope, or he cares, and I believe that gives him experience on the subject. Also, you don't know the details about his brother. For all we know he could be a drug addict, and if Obama gave him $1000 or whatever, that would be a major diservice, and he could end up dead. You don't know the info, and neither do I, so let's refrain from any further speculation.

Nah, I like the goats better that's why I like your.... Haha couldn't finish it, but woulda been good...nice one on your part as well.

Those sheep better not come here! We got too many damn sheep here already. Man we better develop a means to detect those damn sheep, cause when they shave they sure look like goats to me. Facial recognition software is the answer!

Both worked extremely hard to get where they are trying to go, and I hope that Obama would quit before he had to compromise himself past a certain point. He also seems to have developed his relationship with his wife based on an equal admiration for their value to one another. I was thinking d'Anconia before he dropped out, but he came from too much money to make the analogy work. However, his political views are probably more in line with Obama, and I hope he isn't analogus to that fat deuche, that dude is more like Bush or unfortunetly McCain at this point.
