The do it yourself Oil Change...

Did we give up when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

Marcus Easley is a beast......man really glad they were patient with this kid. His first punt tackle was awesome-- drove the blocker back into the returner...

Very well stated.

He's also the coach that led Thad to the trading block in Detroit....curse you Downing....you, you Thad Lewis career killer...

Chad Kelly began traveling back to Division 1 football last night at East Mississippi Community College going 31-38 for 355 yards and 4 touchdowns. He is QBing the current #1 ranked team in Junior College football. Many folks have posted about Chad's issues in HS and at Clemson. I am sure this is a lesson in humility that I hope leads him to realizing his dreams. Folks blamed part of his issues at Clemson this spring on being distraught about Uncle Jim's health. At least for last night, he probably made Uncle Jim pretty proud.

I have been tardy in greeting you back........just haven't been posting much. Welcome back!

God that !@#$ing EJ sucks......and everyone who doesn't think so is a god damn moron

Actually considered buying some real estate there the last couple of years. Its like any beach town, there is good and bad. Film has been a huge driver of the economy the last decade (now adding over $1 billion to the NC economy--Screen Gems has a huge studio operation) and our General Assembly in NC just ended most of the tax breaks for the industry so I would expect, unless this is reversed quickly, a huge driver of employment will likely go away and real estate and the local economy will suffer. The good: Wrightsville is a fun beach -- there is a combination coffee bar/mexican restaurant at the end of the main causeway that is a slice of life.... Downtown has a really fun vibe--good food, lots of music, a little eclectic Housing is relatively cheap for a beach town, particularly on the west side of the Intercoastal City administration is forward thinking New Hanover schools aren't bad New Hanover hospital is much better than one would expect for a town of Wilmington's size There are some growing industries -- Information Security, PPD pharm and the Contract Research Space The bad: Crime rate is fairly high in areas just off downtown -- sometimes the gang stuff seeds over into downtown Movie industry death will hit the town hard and it could go downhill PM if you want more. All in all we are big fans.

Sounds like a great cause. I have been looking for another non-profit to support -- I will pledge $10 for every TD EJ scores (throwing or running-- not a pick 6 though ;-)). It would be great to do a fan match.

The epitome of class, beauty and downright sexy to her last breath. There's a great picture of Bogart seated in between she and Marilyn Monroe both leaning on him lovingly. Its my favorite -- "if I could take his place" photo...

I agree the feasibility for TO sites might have been done before the rules were fully known -- but its still really good work by JW and puts suspicion around the "Blaze of Glory" bid.

Stupid !@#$er looked up and turned into a bronze statue. Heads down everyone.

Do you think we should start a 529 or bank on a mascot scholarship?

http://blogs.wsj.com...terested-buyer/ Gundlach acknowledged that Bills owner Ralph Wilson is unlikely to part with the franchise while still living. He also acknowledged that buying a sports franchise in Western New York isn’t a huge growth opportunity. “It’s not an investment,” he said. “It’s because I love the Bills.” I know he's not the most trustworthy guy in bond trading -- lawsuits, etc. But he appears to understand the fierce loyalty that binds us all to the team. He has one great advantage over Pegula and Tom G. He is in his mid-50's -- give me a guy who is going to live for 25 more years and keep the team local. I have actually been waiting for his name to resurface.

First time in several months that he sounds like Jim Kelly. A great sign!

Glad she is okay John. Dang! Nothing is worse for a dad than one of his baby girls being harmed or potentially harmed. Exercise some restraint when they find the other driver -- I know how hard that will be. Every cell in your body will want to kill the mother!@#$er...

This thread is reminding me of a certain scene from Caddyshack....

Its a frickin' KFC -- scary is a requirement of entry, right? ;-)

jw -- do you assume baloney up front and then still dig to verify baloney? It must be fascinating and difficult to be a reporter in the days of the Internets .... Thanks for what you do.

QB's need outlets that can make plays and move the chains in crucial situations. On third downs that means a receiver that can beat press coverage quickly, catch the ball and get to the sticks. It means getting to the spot to take the throw quickly at the proper depth and angle. Listen to Sammy after the first practice -- he already gets the difference between the pro and college game. In the pros his speed and RAC the catch ability only opens up if he gets to the right spot to receive the ball. Sammy has the potential to have great ability to beat the press but also has elite speed. At his highest ceiling he is Anquan Boldin with Percy Harvin speed. Mid-size (6'-1"), great build (210 lbs), the ability and strength to get off the line and get open quickly, but also the ability to beat you deep if you play him too tight. He is a hybrid, a highly durable body type, strong with both short area and longer distance elite sprint speed. Snatch hands, quick change of direction, great body control, sprinters speed with the strength to run over corners and safeties. He is unique-- tough to plan for. He will make some of EJ's mistakes (off line throws) look like accurate passes. I am truly excited to see him play.

Thanks jw.
