Yep, it's Andre, Freddy, Jimbo, Kent and Biscuit.

Kelly's Heroes. I had that poster on my dorm room wall in college, along with another one of "Machine Gun Kelly."

I KNEW I was setting myself up somehow.

That was perhaps my biggest shock when I spent a few weeks there. I think I hurt my neck. Well put. I'll agree with that.

Yeah, Rich was completely unaware.

That's funny, because I've spent a little time myself in Europe and couldn't understand why there was this vast void of hotness in the middle of the continent. I mean, you have French girls to the west, Polish girls to the east, Swiss and Italian girls to the south, and Scandinavian girls to the north. Then there's Germany.

And on this board, that's no mean feat. Probably it was some idiot Iggle fan calling in and proposing that trade.

Either that or the fundraisers didn't want to pay his band to play the gig.

I think the first time he knocked Brady on his candy ass, you'd be his biggest fan.

I think maybe he was asking whether you had a theory as to why Kelly, Marino and Esiason all support each other's fundraisers but Flutie doesn't appear to be part of that group. I got a theory on that.

This is annoying. JP was playing against the Packers' starters and Favre was going against one of the best defenses in the league. Rodgers was going against a bunch of guys who are just biding time until the Arena League season starts up.

Good post. With #4 I'd have to say that right now the question isn't whether you'd rather have Simon or Pat and the pick. Pat's gone and he was going no matter what we did, I think. He's a 33-year-old defensive tackle who wanted money that would have been more for past performance than for any promise of future contributions. I think it would have been dumb to re-sign him myself; there's no point in giving a big contract to almost anyone in his 30s except for Pro Bowlers and Pat wasn't one. The question is whether you'd rather have a 26-year-old Pro Bowl caliber DT who can team with Sam Adams right now, or just Sam Adams and Ron Edwards plus a pick or two in next year's draft. When you look at it that way, the choice becomes easier. I'm not that worried about Nate. He's probably going to be gone anyway and this deal, if it happens, may just reflect how TD feels about his chances of keeping Nate.

Stop wastin' my time You know what I want Or maybe you don't Do I have to come right straight out and tell you everything Gimme some money Gimme some money

Particularly here: But they DO need a WR and they DO have other headaches to deal with (T.O. and Westbrook). This moron makes it sound like they hold all the cards. They don't. A first and a third or a two, three AND four for Simon. Give me a fuggin break.

I might not put him in my top 5 all-time but he was my favorite non-Bill growing up. The fact he was a lefty like me probably had something to do with it, but I also loved his kickass, take-no-prisoners swagger. It's a shame he's not in the Hall of Fame for whatever reason. Your mentioning Mark van Eeghen calls to mind an anecdote from Madden's first book, in which a not-too-bright defensive end named Charles Philyaw went to Madden and asked to have his first name AND his last name on the back of his jersey. "But we don't do that," Madden replied. "Yes, you do," said Philyaw, pointing. "See? VAN Eeghen."

Plus I don't think you can ever have too many defensive linemen.

No, they're just reporting the rumor. Won't be long before someone at WGR spots him "in the airport." I'd love to get Simon... but I ain't holding my breath just yet.

The guys these guys are the backups to aren't even going to make the team.

But he's left 687 black marks on the boards to either side of the net in the same time span.

Was it a red stapler?

Rockpile got it right, actually. Probably one of my all time favorite songs. Especially this lyric: Now some guys they just give up livin' And start dyin' little by little, piece by piece Some guys come home from work and wash up And go racing in the street. Tonight, tonight, the strip's just right I wanna blow 'em all out of their seats We're callin' out around the world I'm goin' racing in the street.

That would be much better.

Is that why their only signing was a 38-year-old blueliner? Only bustin'. I kind of agree with you actually.

If this were the regular season Jonas would be gone for two games. At least.
