I'm more nervous about the 43-yard passes over McGee's head.

JetBlue does go to Buffalo.

I used to be like that about flying anything smaller than a 737 but no longer, not since I survived a couple of Cape Air flights in 10-seat Cessnas with no problem. I've gotten used to the regional jets and have flown them on just about every airline. My favorite is the one USAirways flies, with the single row on one side of the aisle and the double row on the other side. You can sit on the single side and have an aisle AND a window seat at the same time. No annoying travel companions. Delta flies a 2x2 arrangement though. My advice is to try to get in the first row. More room to stretch out and, like a roller coaster, you don't get bounced around as much as if you sit in the back of the plane. Plus you can get out of the sardine can faster at the end of the flight. And if the stewardess is hot you get an eyeful for the whole flight. (Delta is especially good about this. Something about southern girls.)

Man, I should have done this a long damn time ago.

It's as fair and reasonable as saying I lied through my teeth in my first post, Pete. The larger point still remains: there's now a higher moral standard for becoming manager of a crappy baseball team than there is for becoming President of the United States.

:I starred in Brokeback Mountain: you Darin. You go on ignore.

HE's never had financial problems because he has Daddy's money to bail him out, but he's run more than one company into the ground. ArBUSTo, anyone? And I notice you didn't ask when Bush has ever had a DUI. Oh my bad. So Bush only had two out of three. Actually if you bothered to read the article instead of just jumping to defend your Führer, you'd see that Backman didn't "beat up his wife." He was in a fight that "involved" his wife and a friend. Hm it's possible he got drunk and challenged the friend to go "mano a mano" with him. That sounds like someone we all know, doesn't it?

Hell, there's a guy in the White House with those credentials.

And somewhere Billy Martin just rolled over in his grave.

Does anyone else make the connection between these two sentences?

Where I come from, electioneering is prohibited in any form within 100 feet of the doors of any polling place. I guess Virginia is not quite as evolved.

Relax, VA. Your state isn't even in play for Christ's sake. You got an anal inspector on a power trip is all.

And golly gee, Drudge has updated his site without ANY reference to the Philadelphia crap. What are the odds? Anyone think it hasn't been debunked NOW?

The Republican poll watchers are there to challenge as many voters as possible and slow down the lines so people will get frustrated and leave without voting. The Democratic poll watchers are there to make sure the Republican poll watchers don't get away with this. Just because they are both "poll watchers" doesn't mean they are both disenfranchisers. It's not what they're called, it's what they do.

It's all a big Democratic plot, Mickey. They figured they could wheel out a few dozen voting machines with votes already on them and nobody, not even the trained election inspectors (and I've been one), would notice.

Yeah nice to see you again too Darin.

Here you go, by the way:

Of course he would. He reads Drudge for his news.

It turns out that the numbers Drudge was talking about were the numbers of times the voting machines have been used in previous elections, not votes. The story has been completely debunked. The Philadelphia City Commissioner released the following statement: Move along, folks. Nothing to see here. Of course, if you want to keep getting your news from Drudge, go right ahead.

Edward Jones and Raymond James are companies, not people.

I'm still waiting for him to catch that one in Dallas last year.

He hit Moulds in ONE hand but only because Moulds was reaching back to try to catch it. Drew threw that ball way behind Moulds. He also overthrew McGahee on Deion's first interception. That's a 10-point swing -- we got 3 instead of 7 on the first one and gave them 7 on the second. The second Deion INT was underthrown. Subtract at least another 3 from us, if not 7. The Evans play wasn't Drew's fault; that was an excellent play by the murderer. And the Moulds INT was all on Moulds; he should have caught that. Drew's plays cost us 13 points, if not 17. We lost by 14. Do the math. If your defense holds a team to 160 yards, your QB ought to be able to find a way to win the damn game. Yes, the line had breakdowns. Yes, our receivers dropped balls. But we still had enough plays, given the way our D played, to win the game.

Good catch there, ID. I noticed that too and was like WTF. Reminded me of Peerless a couple years ago.

OK. Do we even have a two-minute offense in the playbook? Do we have an OFFENSE in the playbook?
