  1. That's disappointing. Did anybody see that Clint Eastwood project "Trouble With the Curve"? It was mediocre all around, but the worst part was that the writers had seemingly never watched a baseball game in their lives. How do you not get consultants for this kind of stuff to say "This makes sense, but this doesn't."? Hell, I could have done that for them.
  2. They better resign him. Unless he has his heart set on leaving, which I doubt.
  3. I don't think pro athletes are a good representative of public behavior. I find that most of my interactions with people are pleasant and civil.
  4. Oh yeah, because he and Belichick would get along GREAT.
  5. No kiddin' about Myers. I don't know if I've seen a hockey player with less grit.
  6. Any food that isn't Occidental.
  7. Noooooo! Well, the good news is I have a chance now. Right?
  8. Gotta love the Beeels vs. Bingles games.
  9. His girlfriend is still insanely hot. That's my David Nelson update.
  10. Even with his linemates Ennis and Foligno heating up. Stafford and Myers should both be scratches in my opinion.
  11. Tough player. Good run blocker. WAY below average for a starting wide receiver. I have no qualms in seeing Jones exit, especially with the assumption that we've got our eye on somebody better.
  12. You say that as if it's worse. Humans have a responsibility to the animals that we've domesticated. Eating them is fine (cows, pigs, dogs, whatever) because there's a definite utility. Starving them, torturing them, and making them fight in order to amuse us? You must be able to see the moral difference.
  13. Pretty sad when you have the league's hottest player and get off to a 4-6-1 start. Vanek has pretty much accounted for 3 of their wins.
  14. Vick was worse in almost every way. I don't want Fitz as a starter either, but if I had to pick a guy to be "Caretaker" until a rookie was ready, it sure as hell wouldn't be Vick.
  15. I don't want that douche anywhere near Buffalo. Also, he was one of the NFL's worst starters in 2012.
  16. Thanks for posting that. The world needs one thing first and foremost...and that's for everybody to just try to be nicer. If that's schmaltzy, I'll gladly take the ribbing, but I also think it's true.
  17. Yeah, I noticed multiple times this season when both Jones and Stevie were the key to big runs by Spiller.
  18. Not with my 10 1/2 foot pole.
  19. I'm actually weirdly accurate. Haven't been beaten in darts! Anyway, I think we all have to admit there's a certain inherent absurdity to a field where we rake the best through the mud and save scant praise for the BEST of the best. For the sake of argument, let's say that Fitz is the 25th best quarterback in the NFL. Think of all the guys in this country who picked up a football imagining themselves as a professional. There must be a million of them. But we spend so much time criticizing the guys who actually achieved that dream. I know I'm a participant in that criticism, but it just boggles the mind.
  20. He's just not a favorite of mine. He does everything decently, but nothing particularly well and he's injured too often.
  21. Gabourey Sidibe is dangerously overweight, but her job is to be an actress and I couldn't care less about how attractive she is. If your point is that she'll be offered limited roles, you're right on. But that doesn't diminish her fine work in Precious. And if Beyonce needs to shed pounds (which I disagree with, but whatever) then it doesn't diminish her work as a recording artist. Accomplishment is accomplishment.
  22. Good point. My only real point here is that until I accomplish something on par with becoming a starter in the NFL (and in my opinion, a top 15 starter at his position) I won't call him dumb or lazy. Maybe Stevie wouldn't be able to comprehend the Patriots way, but I similarly can't comprehend the sacrifices and work that Stevie put in to even make an NFL roster.
  23. Which is the right way to do it. As much as we make fun of Ruvell Martin and Marcus Easley, most teams' WR5 are either a project or a special teams guy. I'd rather have a player-coach guy like Driver occupying that spot.
