no...he's just short.

I'm not sure I trust anything coming out of the CTM archives.

Really? "Earlier, Israeli Vice Premier Shimon Peres, a Nobel peace laureate, said, "Since 1945, the establishment of the United Nations, no head of state which is a member of the United Nations ever called for the destruction of another member of the United Nations, publicly and clearly, as the president of Iran did. "It is against the charter of the United Nations, it is against the practice of the United Nations, and you cannot have a charter where some of the people are for peace and self-defense and the other half for the destruction of it. "We saw already crazy declarations, and crazy appearances in the past, sometimes we did not take it very seriously. But when you see such a crazy declaration being done by an elected head of state, a member of the United Nations, it is unbearable, you cannot remain a member, or you have to change the charter," Peres said." furthermore..."EU leaders ... today condemned in the strongest terms the comments in respect of the State of Israel attributed to President (Mahmoud) Ahmadinejad of Iran," Reuters quoted the statement as saying. "Calls for violence, and for the destruction of any state, are manifestly inconsistent with any claim to be a mature and responsible member of the international community," they said." oh yeah....most importantly "Ottawa also issued a strong rebuke, with Canadian Foreign Minister Pierre Pettigrew saying: "We cannot tolerate comments of such hatred, such anti-Semitism, such intolerance. These comments are all the more troubling given that we know of Iran's nuclear ambitions." so I think it really is more than a "no sh-- story".

scoreboard? yeah, I saw the scoreboard...hehehe... keep woofing MUT heretic.

Steve check out Carson Palmers stats last year to this year for further evidence.

It came down to when you wanted to take your medicine...now or in a year or two...besides, we have one more win this year than we did with DB after 4 games!

in my quest to prove Mark VI wrong about the misnomer of "hook and ladder"...I found this gem in Profootball Weekly in 2004: "Question: How long do you go before pulling the plug on the 2004 version of the Carson Palmer project? This was the year the Bengals were supposed to take a big step forward, but instead, they’ve stepped off the edge, and springs and bolts and parts are flying in all directions. I’ll come out and say it — Palmer has been a disappointment. Big things were expected, and he hasn’t delivered. The Bengals have only three touchdown drives of more than 70 yards all year. Palmer’s passer rating has sunk to 59.8, and the team hasn’t rallied around him. Next Monday the Bengals host Denver, and who really expects them to win that game in their current condition? On the horizon you can see 1-5." patience Bills fans....Palmer looks mighty good this year...

your droll wit is only surpassed by VA's...

BF is back?

whip de !@#$ing doodle....do you actually think that means anything? From Profootball Weekly: I caught a high school football game last weekend — Johnstown (Pa.) High at Bishop McCort, and the visitors hit ’em with a gadget number just before halftime that produced a 7-0 lead. The quarterback found his receiver on a short hook (or curl) pattern. Then the receiver quickly flipped the ball to a trailing tailback who darted 25 yards for the score. “The old hook-and-lateral,” said the Johnstown coach afterward. That’s the correct name of the play, “hook-and-lateral.” A hook pattern is run, then there is a subsequent lateral. And it’s a helluva tricky maneuver to pull off, one based upon precise timing and the hope that some defender doesn’t blow his assignment and wander into the path of the back who’s trailing the initial throw. The play’s most famous version came in the ’81 AFC playoffs, when Miami zapped San Diego with it just before halftime and sent the crazed Orange Bowl crowd to the moon. “We called it 87 Circle Curl Lateral,” says Don Strock, the veteran quarterback under center for the Dolphins that night. “And, believe me, the damn thing never worked in practice.” Yet I continue to hear the name of that play screwed up by announcers. A lot of them call it the “hook-and-ladder” play. On Sunday, Daryl Johnston, Phil Simms and ESPN’s Stuart Scott all took their turns, and I screamed at the television. We’ll probably hear it another 500 times this season. They’re confused. “Hook-and-ladder” is not the name of the gimmick. If a team is truly running the “hook-and-ladder,” then you’d expect them to be barreling down the street in a big, red fire truck with a goofy Dalmatian staring out the window. I wish the TV guys would get it straight. How can you defend your obvious mistake? How does "ladder" make any sense in that play"? Certainly websites like the almighty HOF could never hire a hack writer that would make a mistake....never....

funny...I anticipated an anus remark in your reply...

brilliant....but you know it's not Hook and Ladder...the correct name of the play is “hook-and-lateral.” A hook pattern is run, then there is a subsequent lateral.

how droll.

the 11th post in this thread... and how typical.

yeah...fine...respond to a recycled retread and leave the original gem ignored.

I have a strange feeling of deja vu.

unfortunately not on Super Bowl Sundays.

don't take offense nuklz2594, remember the hammer shatters glass but forges steel. Still, that's a damn funny title.

I think they are staying in to help prevent a total jail break to the QB...alas, they aren't doing that too well either.

nope. Manning began the 2004 season as the backup quarterback for the Giants, behind two-time league MVP Kurt Warner, who the Giants signed in 2004 shortly after he was released for salary cap reasons by the St. Louis Rams. Manning's first regular-season NFL play was in the first week of the 2004 football season, taking over for Warner with three minutes left in the game as the Giants were losing to the Philadelphia Eagles, 31-10. Manning handed the ball off to running back Tiki Barber, who ran 72 yards for a touchdown. For the first nine games of the season, Manning only saw limited action, usually in mop-up situations towards the end of games. However, after Kurt Warner began to struggle midseason, losing three out of four games, Manning was named the team's starting quarterback, making his first professional start in a November 21 game against the Atlanta Falcons. After a rough first half, Manning threw his first touchdown pass in the second half, a 6-yard pass to Jeremy Shockey. However, the Giants ultimately lost the game, 14-10. On January 2, 2005, Manning secured his first career NFL win with a three touchdown performance against the Dallas Cowboys. But perhaps the most telling play of that game - the touchdown passes included - came at the end, when Manning called an audible from a passing play to a running play and handed to Tiki Barber, who ran in the game-winning touchdown and simultaneously became the all-time single-season rushing yards record holder for the Giants.

Agree 100% Eli Manning has now started looking good, last year he was horrible in the first 5 or 6 games...it takes some time...check out Eli's stats last year, game by game... Stats

ouch.
