You'd think they'd be switching hosts for a "change of pace," but it's really "a different voice doing the same routine," eh? "Maybe we can leverage the Howard Simon name to make our stevestojan smell sweeter...."?

Just goes to show it's not the on-air talent, it's the station. Add Simon to the list of folks who were good elsewhere that have lost sight of what made them good while working for WGR...

Here's more detail. He was in a coma for 2 1/2 months, and only this weekend did he talk for the first time: http://www.newsday.com/news/local/wire/new...egion-apnewyork

Where does it say he was PVS? It said he was in a coma. There is a big difference.

Insurance carried by Bills...he'll get his money one way or the other...

Guess it's time for Coach to suit up...

If so, it wasn't their inaugural season, but it did happen to Dave Hampton: Source: http://www.sportsecyclopedia.com/nfl/atlanta/falcons.html

Fine I'm wrong, you're right. Doesn't matter. Williams is still overpaid.

TD is the son of a dog, gets his picks from Sam the butcher.

Ummm, GG, I didn't go by what was on NFLPA, I searched out the details of the contracts as reported by ESPN, SI, team "fan" web sites. I read that the total value of McKinnie's contract was "a five-year, $13.3 million contract with Minnesota that includes a $9.35 million signing bonus." The SB is $50,000 greater than Roy Williams', and total value is $200K greater. Sims received a $10M signing bonus. Of course, this all doesn't change the fact that Williams is overpaid.

Oh, don't worry. If he dodged the questions about the resemblence to RJ, or said something like "Yeah, I can see where you'd say that," he'd be grilled just as much. Everything he does (and doesn't) say is going to get both lauded and criticized for his whole career. It comes with the territory at QB. I personally appreciate that, so far, it sounds like it's JP that's talking, not the "handlers" who, I'm sure, prep him on what he "should" say.

But he's overpaid!

and/or c.) McKinnie's contract has similar escalators to Williams' (playing time is what bumped his salary up enormously this year), but since he held out most of his first season, he hasn't hit those escalators yet, and/or d.) Williams' contract is just less than the $36.5 M the #3 pick (Harrington), while McKinnie's contract is just less than the #6 (Sims) contract, with a signing bonus just higher than Roy Williams....remember the whole "collusion" crusade?

Yeah, the truth hurts!

VIRGIN SACRIFICE! Just kiddin'. Welcome!

TD had me at "hello."

Happy Birthday Nick and Steve, the Rochacha twins!

Wouldn't work unless you rolled back beer prices to the 1965 prices....only if you're wearing the 60's throwback clothes, of course.

People who were more skilled at aiming a ball at a hole and hitting it with a stick? So if Michael Jordan took up pool as a hobby and laid down big bets and lost that automatically makes pool players athletes? Darts? Shuffleboard? Marbles?

Sounds like great raw material...except for the fact that he considers golf and poker sports.

Were taken, but not by me. Steve had a film camera, Rich had his digital...

Yummmmm...at the meeting today were myself, Jay, RVJ, Rockpile, Lancaster Steve, and R. Rich. The sauce was particularly good today.....

So you are only familiar with the stuff he was bad at....

Cleaned up a bit... Three Anthropologists are studying an African tribe. Perched carefully in a tree, they are about to witness tribal rituals never seen before by civilized nations. Suddenly the branch breaks and they found themselves surrounded with spears at their throats. A man wearing a necklace skull and feathers approaches them. Amazingly, he speaks English. "You have disturbed our sacred rites, for this you must be punished" He looks at the first man and says, "Death or Bunga Bunga for 10 minutes?" The man, thinking that Bunga Bunga is certainly better than death, says, "Bunga Bunga" The Chief throws him across a log and proceeds to "Ned Beatty" him for 10 minutes. After he is done, the chief says, "You are free to go." The Chief looks at the second man and says, "Death or Bunga Bunga for 1 hour?" The second man considers his family, and says "Bunga Bunga" The Chief throws him across a log and does the same for 1 hour. After he is done, he says "You are free to go." The second man quickly leaves Finally, The Chief looks at the third man and says, "Death or Bunga Bunga for 2 hours" The third man thinks that he cannot stand being violated for that long and says "Death" The Chief looks at with a smile, and says, "Ok, Death...By Bunga Bunga"
