ICanSleepWhenI'mDead

The DOJ may regulate baseball trades after the Curt Flood case years ago, but it has nothing to do with football trades. Besides, I thought you wanted to draft the guy, not trade for him. Make up your mind.

Isn't that the squad from our last playoff appearance?

Thanks for the tip. I badly sprained an ankle recently, and although I'm finally back to walking normally, it hasn't felt strong enough to get back to playing basketball yet. I've never used an ankle brace, but based on the reviews in your link, I will definitely check this one out.

I may do that if I can't find something with better ankle support.

Aberrently, some people from Virginia think I have a far too cavalier attitude about the outcome of the Virginia - Chaminade game.

Darlene says that if William Shatner was our GM, he could have hired Kirstie Alley to be Aaron Maybin's strength and conditioning coach. There is no doubt she could have put some meat on his bones. Just compare her svelte role with Shatner in "Wrath of Khan" with the whale who later was on "Dancing With The Stars." All she had to do was put him on her own diet, and the guy would now be able to set the edge and not just run around people. Maybe the Bengals will hire her: http://www.profootballweekly.com/2013/01/25/bengals-sign-olb-maybin

Athletic footwear - - I went shopping for shoes for playing basketball last month. Went in several stores in a local mall. My choices were cheap plasticy stuff that felt like it would last a week, or super expensive neon colored stuff with some NBA player's endorsement. I don't want a fashion statement, I want something functional that will last. My play does the talking, not my shoes. Hey, somebody's on my lawn!

So you don't drive it?

Ralph has it.

I'm confused and my head hurts - - if the girl isn't dead, then she must be alive (assuming you don't believe in zombies). But if she's alive, then Manti may be secretly laughing somewhere that the joke is on all of us, 'cause we think she's fake, when she's really not. So which is it? As a non-caring, unbiased, neutral observer maybe you can point me in the right direction on this.

You may be doing it wrong!

You knew it was coming: http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-just-want-to-apologize-to-manti-teo-for-what-i-p,30948/ The reality of the news story is more strange than The Onion stuff - - how messed up is that?

I figure Ray Lewis' mom already volunteered to do this years ago.

Wonder how long it will take to get a Samoan head coach in the NFL?

Hard to keep up with this thread, but haven't seen this posted: http://rumorfix.com/...s-diane-omeara/ Link shows a picture of a woman, and below it states: Also separately saw my local TV news identify Diane O'Meara tonight as the woman in the hoax picture. Edit: The "rumorfix" link got one of the details wrong - - Diane went to school in CA with Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, not with Manti Te'o. But Diane O'Meara is the woman in the hoax picture.

The TV reporter I saw wasn't specific, but it's at least possible that he's no longer a student at all, much less a "FULL TIME STUDENT."Edit: Saw another TV news story that showed a short video of him in a golf cart at IMG Academy in Bradenton, FL where some athletes go to prepare for the combine - - didn't say one way or the other whether he was still enrolled at Notre Dame.

Maybe not - - I saw a local TV sports reporter tonight say that Manti is already in Florida now at one of those outfits that helps guys prepare for the NFL combine.

Ron White agrees:

Can't wait to see the onion's take on this - - nothing up yet. If the Bills draft him, he'll probably be asked to go get Bob Kalsu's shoulder pads before practice.

From a purely football perspective, let's hope that Fitz doesn't help with child-raising duties around the house - - it will hurt his on the field performance: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/140143-the-hidden-reason-for-the-lost-decade/page__hl__%2Bhidden+%2Breason

Nah, he was just really happy to see her.

Karma or koincidence? http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/college/tough-break-college-kid-scored-138-breaks-wrist-article-1.1237729

Here's a CNN video about an asteroid that will come close enough to earth in February that it will fly UNDER some weather satellites: http://lightyears.blogs.cnn.com/2013/01/04/asteroid-to-fly-between-earth-moon/?iref=obinsite The video says it's 150-160 feet "long" [?], so a hit could have produced a Tunguska-type event. And oh yeah, they don't know yet how the near-earth pass in February will alter its orbit for its next visit - - it comes by twice a year.
