OK

Honestly, I was thinking Tracy Morgan may be the ONLY reason to see a Jaws 3D remake. Given that, I was thinking it might be a spoof of some kind.

FedEx ground is fairly inexpensive, from my experience. I just entered a 125 package from WNY to Seattle (I don't know where in WNY or Washington the respective places are), dropped off by the consumer and delivered to a residence and the estimated cost was $113.20. Just an estimate from little info, of course.

I have two responses to that: 1. No, it wasn't. The most comprehensive and scientific analysis of the play I have seen shows the ball was thrown forward. 2. To the naked eye, anyone in proper position would have seen the play as a forward pass. It should have been called as such on the field and left to the replay officials to overturn. But, according to accounts after the game, the officials were told to hold the flags on a close play...exactly the wrong position to take when replay is an option. Oh, I lied, there was one more response: 3. !@#$ you!

Apparently. I also had to watch Home-job Throw-forward again on the NFL Channel's recap of controversial calls.

Now, I admit it was a few years ago, but Charlotte always struck me as a soulless city, much like Atlanta, maybe worse. There were "things to do" but there was no "there" there. It seemed like a bunch of dislocated people who ended up there because the economy didn't suck as bad as it did where they came from. At least Tobacco Road has college towns with tradition, gritty old men bars and restaurants that aren't owned by chains. Now maybe I am mistaken. Are there old neighborhoods with character worth checking out? Back before they started cleaning it up, I always like Waynesville, NC. The little beer bar in the back of the (now defunct) American Fruit Stand was not to be missed. Particularly if you like drinking with really old geezers. And it is a located in one of the most beautiful areas of the country.

That wasn't vaseline.

No, she was eating an apple. Was it as quiet as some might eat an apple? Maybe not. But apples tend to make noise when they are being chewed.

Is this the link you are going for, Jack? http://www.daytondailynews.com/dayton-spor...ml?cxtype=ybuzz

Oh no you di'int!

Yup

I doubt Green has any inside info and is simply speculating.

Does that even make any sound? There are times when we need to realize the problem is OUR problem and not the person making the noise. I worked with a woman who was on the verge of firing an assistant because she didn't like the sound the girl make when she ate an apple. Um...that's the sound of eating an apple. Deal with it.

I did the same, for many years. But when things started getting bad, it was time to go back and help out.

Maybe, maybe not. You can't say what happens if the return happens in the 1st Q. Maybe the Bills get blown out. Maybe they change the game plan and win. Sage pointed out correctly it is a fallacy to compare the situations. But to answer your question another way: Probably not. One result, Dehaven getting fired, may not have happened in a different scenario.

And leave her to live lonely and die alone? I'll have to pass on that. She needs care and I'm in a position to give her that care. I was trying to move around the corner for a while, but my Dad kept asking me to stay. Now that he is gone I really HAVE to stay, as I have a conscience.

I don't think Joyce would be saying a blown call in the 4th inning of any game was "the biggest call of my career". If the Bills would have allowed a TD on a run back in the 1st Q of that game, DeHaven probably wouldn't have lost his job.

How much would a bet on a perfect game pay?

If my aunt had a dick would she be my uncle? Let's not pretend context isn't important.

Dunno. But there's a first time for everything, I suppose. I don't think he will be fired, particularly since Galarraga and Leyland have handled this in a very professional. But if he did get fired or reprimanded in some way, I wouldn't be all that surprised, or all that upset. The expressions "life isn't fair" and "nobody is perfect" cut both ways. Now, my recently deceased father would absolutely believe Joyce was on the take. I don't share his sports-related paranoia, but there are some people who think a call this bad at such an important time isn't likely to be by accident.

True. And sometimes people get fired for making mistakes. That's part of the game, too. Even those with a long record of good service get fired for one big mistake (even some they didn't personally make). Just ask Bruce DeHaven about that. As to the question of MLB reversing the safe call and declaring the result a perfect game, I have no strong opinion one way or the other. Mistakes are made. Sometimes mistakes are corrected. Both scenarios are part of the game, and part of life.
