Anybody else suddenly get a flashback of a dancing rodent? Yip yip yip yip yip yip yip yip I'm alright Don't nobody worry bout me

Brian Billick is looking on incredulously. How dare they... Not again.

Not to be cynical, but I would guess that less than half the people who regularly use the phrase realize it is a Jim Jones reference and not a random ESPN talking head-ism. As for the Kesey acid reference, I have to admit, I had to look that up.

Blasphemy... it's easy to spell; and it doesn't at all suggest that the stereotypical user of the phrase is him/herself mindlessly beholden to a cult-like point of view while attempting to cast that very aspersion upon others. Besides, without an eye catching buzzword, how will I know which posts to skip without reading?

It's like mother nature's garbage plate.

Don't underestimate the darting ability of the cute and cuddly koala. Those little bastards are deadly accurate with a blowgun, and they're not afraid to use it to protect those freaky little parasite babies.

And the whole external gestation thing in the pouch is just unnatural. Their offspring are like creepy little parasites after they're born. Frickin' marsupials.

and yet, rid the world of that which troubles you and you would be short on reusable material... quite the paradox

Actually, I find myself to be quite terrifying... especially after I got in Jeff Goldblum's teleporter with a bee, spider, carnie, clown, china doll, Linda Blair, the twins from the shining... Every morning I wake up and when I look in the mirror I see this bee-spider hybrid in a clown suit with these glassy eyes staring back at me that says "Step right up and give it a whirl!" Even more terrifying is when my twin looks at me and says "Yes Danny, give it a whirl... forever... and ever... and ever" and then vomits pea-soup on me. On top of it all, while I'm not terrified of it, I am completely repulsed by pea-soup.

We do need linebackers... What do you think the Browns would ask in return?

This isn't exactly Thurman signing with the Dolphins. I'm sure I could muster the appropriate amount of vitriol for him, just as I could for any Patriot*.

The issue isn't with the speculation, it's with attaching the "inside source" to it and passing it off as factual. Anyone with a list of pending free agents and a working knowledge of football could put a similar Bills wish list together. Scooped by ny33... who, btw, was the inside source that I got my groundbreaking information from. The minister of silly walks is your source? Do you really think he's credible?

Oh hell, Son, I was high that day. That doesn't make any sense at all, you can be second, third, fourth... hell you can even be fifth.

Yeah, cuz no one will crawl up your ass immediately for not delivering on that promise. Love, Terry Pegula

If we do, we'll be getting the whole kitten caboodle.

Richard Manuel, wasn't he the ruthless leader of Panama from 1983-1989?

Are you the guy that kills the punchline by making the teller explain the joke? (I'm on my iPad, otherwise I'd finish this with the little winking emoticon)

Is that to say he's one of a group of many tranquil people under pressure, you know, for all intensive purposes?

Last I heard, Friday, 'bout a week ago, he was shootin' dice and ended up getting his ass kicked for casting his eye upon a girl named Doris.

And you can be his cowgirl... Ted, oh Ted, fighting off danger! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s05jcrJw0as

Fred? (Following in the Rogers for Rodgers footsteps)

I put my blue tarp on one leg at a time. The difference is, once my blue tarp's on, I make blue tarp.

I think their mascot should be a Jacksonville instead.

Until there are Agile QBs that have won a Super Bowl on that list, your point that these QBs are a better option is not "proven." There is a trend toward them right now, but a pocket passer just won the SB over an Agile QB. Any knock on Flacco about the team around him helping out can just as easily be made about Kaep. I would be happy to see either on the Bills right now. Re Stafford, the QBs in the discussion were not my selection, I only made the point that they were drafted within a year of one another and haven't taken as long to develop as you insinuated. I'd also not be complaining if he was in a Bills uniform. As many have pointed out, hopefully intentionally to stir the pot, though possibly due to a delusional disorder or a bad acid trip, your original point requires little to no comment.

Here's the list of SB winning QBs since 1990. I'd say history diagrees with you. Steve Young is the only running QB on that list and closest thing to what you're touting. Of the slow goofs that you point to in your initial slow goof reference, as has been noted in the press recently, Flacco has the best winning percentage among QBs in the NFL in his first 5 years in the league, and now has a SB MVP. Matt Ryan has been to the playoffs with the Falcons in 4 of the 5 years he's been the starter for the Falcons. Pretty slow development. Matt Stafford plays for the Lions, panning him is like panning Brandon Weeden. Detroit can't get out of their own way, but it's not because of Stafford. The running QB is a trend that has yet to be borne out as successful instead of gimmick. They are clearly not the only way to win. They are fun to watch, though. Super Bowl 25.
