Thus is eBay, really.

I'm in school majoring in Journalism currently, although I freely admit that I do NOT want to be writing news stories the rest of my life. Rather, I'm hoping to get involved in magazines and be more of a commentator. I considered Broadcast Journalism for awhile, since I work part time at a radio station in Toledo, but I'm just not interested in being a big commercial whore the rest of my life.

I don't know, it's kind of ridiculous how many players have left on bad terms during Donahoe's tenure.

Wow, I don't get the hate for BNL. They're not the greatest ever, but jeez they're not that bad. Anyway, one of the worst bands has to be Nickelback. Really, the entire nu-metal genre that's oversaturated the market has been a bigger factor in the declining music industry than any file sharing service, if you ask me. All of the "rock" bands sound the same, they're all going for that Pearl Jam sort of sound. Not all rock singers need to be baritones, you know, for god's sake. So, besides Nickelback in this category: Staind, Godsmack, Creed, Alter Bridge, etc... I'm not even going to bother mentioning the bubblegum scene or the current trend of the rap/hip hop genre, because those basically go without saying. It's either cutesy hooky bubblegum or bitches and hoes dime-a-dozen rap.

I'll just list a few of my very favorites. The Beatles Bob Dylan Ben Folds The Clash Led Zeppelin Rolling Stones OutKast Queen The Strokes Weezer Tenacious D

"It was then that I realized what life was about! After years of traveling the world to explore and to discover myself, I had become enlightened. I must tell someone, I must ----" SPLAT.

The problem is that they're trying to pussyfoot around being a Pats/Broncos copycat. As it is now, it looks ridiculous. If you're going all navy, go all navy. Or don't. But having navy and royal blue on the same jersey looks kind of silly, I think. Not necessairly.

Me either. Ritzman all the way!

I wouldn't go back to the royal blue, though. I quite like the navy, although I would eliminate the royal blue from the jersey completely and simply make the charging bison on the helmet navy to match the jersey.

So Mularkey has to refer to Donahoe as "Mr Donahoe"? Guess we know who the B word and the butch are.

Riiiight. It's those crazy gay people that did it all! It's just somehow getting to millions of straight people too. Must be the hookers.

No kidding! What is Johnny's point, anyway? That everyone's really stupid for doubting a guy who had just come off one of the most serious injuries a running back can have the misfortune of getting? Yeah, I can't see any reason why anyone would have preferred Travis Henry to Willis McGahee last training camp when Henry had proven himself to be more than servicable and, beyond that, extremely determined (proved by playing hurt during a season that was clearly a lost cause). Obviously, now McGahee has proved himself to be the better back - but it isn't because Henry is a bad player! Very plainly, McGahee is just a bit better, that's all. But that doesn't take away from Henry's contributions that he made during his time starting. I grow weary of this revisionist history and "I told you so" garbage.

From a marketing standpoint, Donahoe is a genius. There hasn't been a year thus far without at least one controversial move or exciting change to get the fans riled up. However, it hasn't proved to be very successful so far in terms of wins and losses, and you can only go so many years without real success (ie playoffs) before the fans turn their backs.

I think this is a valid point, but I would amend it to be "No matter what you've sacrified for the team, once the offseason starts, you are only your age and your salary." It's a bit sad, but that's how it is in today's colder NFL.

Drew: "Oil... need... oil..!"

It's because the odds are typically against a first year starter at QB to win a Super Bowl, even though most of us know that Losman probably won't be much of a step down from Bledsoe.

I'm beginning to wonder if the Academy is purposely snubbing Scorcese as a way of putting him in the Hitchcock/Kubrick sort of category of The Greats That Never Won.. I mean, even if he had won tonight, it still wouldn't completely make up for the tragedy that is the snub of Raging Bull .

Awesome! I'll be sure to buy a Willis McGahee and Takeo Spikes McFarlane figures to replace the empty spot on the display case that the McFarlane Drew Bledsoe has now left.

I'ma gunna go shee-yoo-t sum uv dem cuh-razy "per-gressive" folks. We dun want no "poon poon puss" gettin' in our way of killin' shiat when we're deee-lin' with shiat. Buck 'em, cowboy.

If Garcia would accept a back-up role, he'd be ideal.

Actually, it's quite real. http://www.computerworld.com/securitytopic...1,99934,00.html Hackers post Paris Hilton's address book online A copy of her T-Mobile USA cell phone address book appeared on the Web News Story by Paul Roberts FEBRUARY 21, 2005 (IDG NEWS SERVICE) - Hackers penetrated the crystalline ranks of Hollywood celebrity Saturday, posting the cellular phone address book of hotel heiress and celebrity Paris Hilton on a Web page and passing the phone numbers and e-mail addresses of some of Tinsel Town's hottest stars into the public realm. A copy of Hilton's T-Mobile USA Inc. cell phone address book appeared on the Web site of a group calling itself "illmob." The address book contains information on over 500 of Hilton's acquaintances, including super celebrities such as Eminem and Christina Aguilera. It is not known how the information was obtained, but the release of the contact book may be further fallout from a hack of T-Mobile's servers that came to light in January. The Hilton address book was posted on the illmob Web site early Sunday and is a simple HTML table listing the phone numbers and e-mail addresses for acquaintances, along with other useful information, such as the number of the San Francisco Hilton Hotel and celebrity attorney Robert Shapiro. The leak is bound to prompt a furious round of unplanned number changes among Hilton's coterie, after fans and curious Web surfers learned of the hack and began dialling their favorite celebrities. Eminem's phone number was changed. Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst's voice mailbox was full. Tennis star Anna Kournikova's number was busy, despite repeated attempts to get through. Robert Shapiro's answering machine picked up when called and provided a number to page the star attorney in an emergency. There was no answer at Hilton's home, nor did sister Nicky Hilton answer calls to her phone. Reached by phone, actor Kevin Connelly, of the cable television show "Entourage," said he had received between 200 and 300 phone calls since early Sunday, as word of the hacked address book spread across the Internet. Connelly plays opposite Adrian Grenier in the HBO show about a young celebrity and his colorful entourage of old school chums. He declined to comment on whether he knew Hilton or why his name appeared in her T-mobile phone list. Connelly, who received at least one other call while on the line with this reporter, said he would likely change his phone number today to stop the harassment. It was unclear yesterday how the cell phone contact list was obtained. However, Hilton's was one of a number of celebrity cell phones that was reportedly compromised in an attack on T-Mobile's network that netted information on 400 of the company's customers, including sensitive information from the account of a U.S. Secret Service agent. In January, the Bellevue, Wash., mobile carrier acknowledged that Nicholas Jacobsen, a California-based hacker, compromised its internal computer systems in 2003 and viewed the Social Security numbers of 400 customers. T-Mobile, which is part of Deutsche Telekom AG, did not immediately respond to requests for comment late Sunday. Jacobsen pleaded guilty last week to one felony charge of accessing a protected computer and causing reckless damage. He is scheduled to be sentenced in May and faces a maximum possible sentence of five years imprisonment and a $250,000 fine.

That's their whole schtick, though. Besides their whole "oh, can't keep a straight face" routine, they're unbelievably unfunny.

It's almost as bad as their "I hope you like incestous babes!" campaign. But I guess Coors would have to appeal to that lowest denominator of hick, wouldn't they?

I gotta say I agree with Weiler on this one. Besides, Marc K, if you're going to send a note to a writer and criticize their work - you really ought to spellcheck the note you're going to send first!

We didn't ask much of Drew last year, and it'll probably be the same for JP. Don't turn the ball over, make the throws when we need you to, and be patient but not stupid. For a professional football player, it shouldn't be that hard.
