Also, has anybody implicated Boeheim with knowledge of the alleged abuse? Some people hide their skeletons better than others...

And it seems to happen year after year. Was it 2007 that we put 19 players on the IR? People blame the lockout, but I look around the league and it seems as if most teams have an average number of injuries.

Man, I can't wait to own a home theater. I found Cloverfield haunting and that was on a computer screen!

At the encouragement of some of the vids posted on this thread, I've been listening to all of my Queen LP's over the last couple days. To close your eyes and listen to Freddie Mercury is to be in the presence of true greatness, the kind that only comes along once or twice in a lifetime. His range, the raw power, the subtle timbres of his voice, can never be duplicated. Listening to Freddie provides one of those moments where you say to yourself, "Holy crap. I could spend literally every second of my life devoted to mastering this art and I would never be 1% as good as him." I've had other moments like that...watching Richard Pryor, Dominik Hasek, Daniel Day Lewis - reading Hemingway. Some men were put on this Earth to do one specific thing.

Yes, MVP tends to be a misnomer among all the sports that give the award. Most Outstanding Player is more accurate.

I hate everybody who isn't Top 10 in the world in their chosen profession.

So is it safe to say that Jim Kelly is the MVP of the past 15 years? Look how bad the Bills have been without him...

This kid is going to grow up thinking he's a god. Never a good thing.

Absolutely not. There are myriad celebrity cameos and the Muppets perform some well known songs, but if you know anything of the Muppets or the Muppet Show you know that those two elements are inherent.

I just got back from the Muppets and I'll be posting a full essay about it from my site either Monday or Tuesday. In the interim, it was... and... and... and... (in regards to Amy Adams and Rashida Jones) but most of all just plain old...

It's an entirely different kind of world!

Yep. The merits of having a team improve from 4-12 to 7-9 (hypothetically) are self evident, but to improve further is to tinker with the formula until you get it right.

To answer one of the OP's questions, George Edwards' employment status should have nothing to do with the team's record at the end of the season.

In a post 9-11 world, Joey never would have been allowed in the cockpit to chat with Captain Oveur.

An argument can be made for a certain Mr. Presley in this regard as well. Marc Bolan is another in the upper echelon of great front-men, though neither he nor T. Rex has really stood the test of time.

They couldn't even offer him one of those little pull out seats that the flight attendants use? It really is a joke. People worrying about airplane seat belt while thousands are killed each year by having their chests caved in by tray tables in the down position.

Back in 1973, I bet somebody said "Who the !@#$ is Queen? We're talkin' Chuck Berry here, man, a LEGEND." I'll remember this when FtP explodes.

Shades of grey, people. You don't have to be 100% satisfied at the very fact that Buffalo has an NFL team, but I think it's prudent to feel thankful for it anyway - sort of in the same sense that despite all of America's troubles, I feel thankful to have been born into a free country.

I appreciate a good rant. It's a subjective thing, of course, so we'll agree to disagree. I can tell this is an area of passion for you, as it is for me, so I have no words to try to persuade you of anything. Not to needlessly enumerate everything, but I'd approximate that Taxi Driver is a Top 20 movie of all time, while Rocky hangs out somewhere below the Top 100. For me, anyway. As the film that single-handedly pioneered a sizable niche genre, I take absolutely nothing away from Rocky.

Perhaps you misunderstood me. I put quotation marks around "their guy" because I think the Bills FO believed that Nelson was their answer to the growing trend of catch-first block-second TEs around the league. I never thought that.

Gene Hackman Keanu Reeves Whoever played the hot cheerleader

'Colors on the Wall (Don't Stop)' and 'Houdini' are just plain addictive.

In all seriousness, I think the Bills got "their guy" in Shawn Nelson. Unfortunately, he was made of styrofoam and I also didn't get the impression that the work ethic was there.

Wawrow PM'd me and said that he thinks you're a meanie.

Tim Euhus. Duh.
