I think that the Jets could very easily lose 2... Yes, they would have to lose in St. Louis... Could happen?
???

Denver still has Indy next week... I don't think Indy will lay down.
The big thing is Buffalo winning out...

Oh... I like the ribbon site. They now have "sticker ribbons" to piss off any would be pranksters out there...
WHO THE HECK DREAMS UP THIS STUFF?

I am following it... Just maybe if the Titans can get 7 and stay within 7... I have a gut feeling they will pull it out in OT.

As my dad would say: "You'll get nothing and LIKE it!."
I do get to play with my kid's talking globe and build a Lego (actually Mega Bloks... Ever notice how they leave your hands raw, Lego has the "fit" down better but, its system doesn't rely on "pure" blocks as much anymore) steam engine... Could they possibly make the thing under 1500 pieces!
At work now, so the wife is at Crisis Control HQ...

Oh... Some where going crazy here without you... Glad to see you are back!
You are kinda like the "JR" (Dallas) figure around here... You can really inspire 'em!

Nope OU played like sh-- and I admited it. If White hadn't broke his wrist in the B12 championship I feel the game would have been different anyway.
Honestly Saban isn't anything as for as the pros are concerned. He is another good assistant that will suck as a HC. It was a PR move by the Dolphins.
I hear you... Just ribbing you.
A pretty good PR move with the "hot" name... It should get the fairweather fans down there into the stad.

He went for the money... Can't say I blame him... I don't hold it dear either... Good for him, it had to be a tough decision.
And Ice... You just a little "jilted" OU fan?

That has got to be a sign that he is turning it down... Why would he announce taking it right before a big game? I figure if he wanted Miami, he would say so after the bowl game and not cause a distraction...
Just my $.02.

I will try a clearification.
What happened was he was he threw a TD pass and his body was past the line of srimmage but, the ball wasn't. After that... I am sure they clearified the rules...
Anybody else out there that can explain it better?
...The Bears and Packers even shared some history as part of an instant-replay controversy in 1989.
In their first meeting that season, Chicago led Green Bay 13-7 with 41 seconds to play. The Packers faced fourth down on the Bears' 14-yard line.
Green Bay quarterback Don Majkowski scrambled out of the pocket, and as he approached the line of scrimmage, fired an apparent touchdown pass to wide receiver Sterling Sharpe.
Majkowski was penalized for being beyond the line of scrimmage when he threw the pass to Sharpe, but the call was reversed by the replay official, giving Green Bay a 14-13 victory.
Ditka and the Bears' management were so angry that they ordered their pubic relations department to place an asterisk by the score of the game in the media guide, signifying that it was an "instant-replay game." ...

But...I generally disagree with the SC on the issue, as I fail to see how the display of a symbol can constitute an immediate threat. Particularly one such as the Confederate flag, which symbolizes racism and slavery to some...and states' rights to others. Which definition of the symbol is more accurate? Whose job is it to decide? The essence of the First Amendment is to keep the responsibility for answering those questions out of the hands of the federal government.
Your final quote, though, is most telling. You want to practice freedom of speech and display the Stars and Bars...fine. That's your right. But with freedom comes responsibility...so if you want to be free to display the Confederate flag, you better be responsible enough to understand and handle the ramifications of your actions. Which means, if someone wants to point out to the world that they think your a racist pig for displaying it...well, even if it was only a statement for states' rights, you should have known what you were getting into.
It might not constitute an immediate threat but, it serves to intimidate. By creating an intimidating demeanor you are abridging one's freedom to live peacefully.
Wouldn't the Confederate battle flag be considered the same kind of symbol as a KKK burning cross? What fear did that flag bring to a African-American during the war? Wouldn't they have been treated as run-away slaves by the approaching Confederate Army? So, I argue that the flag since its inception has instilled and ingrained the fear amongst African-Americans that it upholds the return to slavery.
There has been a lot of revisionist fancy footwork in the last 140 years. Cut through it all and it symbolizes that if you were of African decent and came across an approaching Confederate Army you would be:
1. Returned/took into the bonds of slavery.
2. Killed.
Or... If you were in Union uniform and taken prisoner... Immediately lynched or shot... That flag represents those dire consequences... Nothing good has ever come from it for African-Americans.
The last part of your post I couldn't agree more with.

Something about the string section and "band" has me a little jumpy... I keep thinking about that Woody Allen scene (as a kid) where he attempted to play in the "band" as a cello player... He kept stopping, sitting down, only to keep picking up his chair as the band moved on. Too funny!
What movie was that again? Brighton Beach Memoirs?

Afternoons (1600-2400)... 9 degrees out... minus 5 last night... The ice is building fast!
For all you smart asses out there, remember, a clean river freezes!

Just changed it... If the Bills need CowBell, who am I to stand in the way?

Good way to keep the discussion going. Find one little word amongst many, twist it into something its NOT and then accuse the poster of something reprehensible based on that one word.
Dont be an !@#$. I was just trying to say that if I'm speaking with someone who is most likely jewish.
Care to comment on the REST of the post, or would that ruin your pathetic attempt to hurl a stupid insult for no damned good reason?
You are such a stand-up guy.
Lighten up... I was just being funny... It just struck me as so "Archie Bunkereque."
"He who laughs last, lasts"
Oh... Feliz Navidad

That leads me to one of the best songs ever!
Twenty-twenty-twenty-four hours to go
I wanna be sedated
Nothing to do, no where to go, oh
I wanna be sedated
Just get me to the airport, put me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me on a plane
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go insane
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my brain
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Just put me in a wheelchair, get me to the show
Hurry hurry hurry, before I go loco
I can't control my fingers, I can't control my toes
Oh no oh oh oh oh
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated
Ba-ba-baba, baba-ba-baba, I wanna be sedated

That is what I am thinking.
It would be easier... IMHO, I think St. louis, in St. louis to beat the Jets.
For the other guys out there (NOT YOU BF):
It is just too risky to root for the Jets to beat the Pats on the thought of other intangibles playing out (ie: teams playing hard idea).
So... You have to be nuts to root for the JETS... THE ARE NOT IN YET!
