We were, if SB means Sliding Back to mediocrity.

You're mistaking "hasn't reached his potential" for "hasn't shown any potential". Jonathan Vilma is a great young LB who hasn't reached his potential either. I'm not saying Scott can't play or is an adequate blocker. That's incorrect. He's very good, and will only get better.

Looks like it'll be a steady diet of Joey Harrington for the Lions now. Millen gets his way and can now continue to run that franchise into the ground. I still don't know how they gave that job to a TV commentator in the first place. Maybe they're getting what they deserve.

So, what was the word? Bananas? Ill? Yo? Holla? Phat? Word?

Firing Polian was a very bad move, as we can see by his track record w/ Carolina and now w/ Indianapolis as opposed to our struggles to make the playoffs under the late John Butler and now Donahoe.

That ain't parity, that's status quo of the NFC.

This is a re-rebuilding year.

There is that little tidbit, too.

One of these seasons, we'll have the ability to enjoy the present as opposed to waiting until the future. I have hope.

Keep going higher...

Other than both of them going to Texas, they have little in common. Big Mike is more like another Longhorn OL who preceeded him-Leonard Davis. Both are huge, not very athletic, but have good footwork. Scott is not as big as those two (315 as opposed to the 350-365 range both Davis and Williams were @ UT) and is more athletic. He also has a rep as a hard worker w/ no off the field issues. He's been knocked for having trouble w/ edge rushers and for not being consistent, but such negatives were also said of the guy he is often compared to in terms of playing style: Walter Jones.

Damn did the Texans choke! That 56 yd screen pass was a joke. Capers is history.

Backus was frogger's idea, actually. Considering we're probably going to pick in the teens somewhere, it's a fair guess to say Bush, Ferguson, Young, and Leinart will be gone by then. More than likely, all of them will be gone by pick #10.

Winning team: more Losing team: less

It could've been worse. Nebraska could've had a female kicker.

Texas sure looked like crap, but they did win. They may want to have a more inspired effort though in their conference title game. Obviously, they can't look past any team and hope to play well. Think about that game first, then worry about a bowl game.

What a disgrace. Isn't it 2009 when they can re-do this BCS mess and get rid of the automatic bid for the Big Least?

That figures. Aren't you in the 'club'?

This one wasn't in Cincinnati.

Sadly, you may be more right than anyone, myself included, wants to believe.

My advice to that waitress would probably be similar to yours, but I'm sure the intent would be different: get over it.

I appreciate your comments just as much.

I'm here @ work, as I always am on the day after Thanksgiving.

Thanks for the recipe Paul, but some of us like that jelly looking stuff w/ the can marks in it.

You need prayers? You got 'em. I hope it all works out well for you and your family.
