Just days after the SB Ex Bill Donte Whitner is back at it, runnin his mouth ..
He is predicting that "each year the 49ers take a step up & that next year they will win it all"
Although it is good to have the confidence in your team mates to carry you to a SB as was pointed out in the article it is hard to go to the big game 2 years in a row & that it hasn't been done since the Pats went back to back .
So good luck with that Donte we will all be waiting to see if your actions can cash in on what your mouth is saying ...
I remember a bunch of Buffalo Bills using words to the same effect every February throughout the early 90's.

ouch. The tibial plateau fracture might prove to be the most difficult to overcome depending on the type of fracture that she sustained. My doc told me I could be the poster boy for successful tibial plateau fracture recovery, but even still the knee gives me problems to this day. And I'm just a 41 year old lummox, I can't imagine the challenges it might cause for a world class professional skier.

Thanks for the tip. I think my hotel is just a few blocks away from Pike Place Market. Eat at any good restaurants while you were there?
I was there for the National Homebrewers Conference, so naturally everywhere we went revolved around beer. I didn't eat at Pike brewery, but their menu looked good. I did eat at Elysian Brewing for lunch one day and the food (and beer) were damn good. It's walking distance from pike market.

I was there last June for a conference. Pike place market is a must. Pike brewery right around the corner has excellent beers.

Nice! Did you go VIP or regular? What seats were available?
I went with the regular pre sale, there were no floor seats available even though I got in right when it started. I ended up with "center ice" seats about 10 rows up.
In other news it was announced that the Foo Fighters will induct Rush into the hall.

Fantastic. Now we can look forward to another Tiger Woods song on the next Steel Panther album.

Always remember Tigers best advice...three holes are better than a hole in one.

I grew up in the village and I'm one year older than him, but I don't recognize the name. I'm assuming he went to St. Francis with Polian's son.

Tiger can get just about any peach he wants, he's not missing anything.
Yes he can indeed.

That was quite the hiatus. The Dean has nothing on you. Welcome back.

My personal favorite was the Retatta thread because of how it happened. One of the board's more milquetoast posters was getting piled on for some topic or another, and out of the blue someone questioned his intelligence based on a fritatta recipe he posted in what was, at the time, the Cookbook section of the board. Something about taking an hour to cook pasta. The thread would have died an early death had the poster not opted to defend his recipe instructions. But no. He kept coming back for more.
Of course, that was back when you could call someone here a retard (Fritatta + Retard = Retatta) without hurting everyone's feelings.
That thread can never be topped. To this day I don't think I've ever laughed as hard as I did the night that the retatta thread unfolded. This friggin' abortion...
What about Johnny Coli's blog? That was some great writing, funny as hell.

Why the hate for the Seahawks? Seattle might be the one sports city more miserable than Buffalo.
No hate. I just don't want any other Lomabardi-less teams winning the Super Bowl before the Bills.
-
I can only say who I'll root against.
No Texans, Bengals, Falcons, Seahawks or Vikings because misery loves company.
No Patriots* because I just f%#&ing hate them.

Remember when we didn't suck?
Barely.

I was there with my father. I wanted to leave at halftime and he talked me out of it. I was halfway up the aisle to the exit at 35-3 when he got me to come back to my seat again. He promised we would leave if Houston scored again. When Houston scored next to tie it at 38, I asked him if he still wanted to leave. What a game, and I'm one of the few who can say he stayed and watched the whole damn thing thanks to my dad.
With the joke this team has become in the past decade, this game seems like it happened even longer than 20 years ago.

Obviously you have never had a Lord Chesterfield Ale or a Black & Tan. Both are terrific. My hunch is that you had a old skunky can of lager once, or that the cheap price colors your opinion.
Don't get me wrong. I like a snobby expensive beer as much as the next snobby expensive beer drinker. Many Unabroue offerings like Raftman and La Fin du Monde are favorites.

I've had plenty of all the Yuengling styles. They are just ok beers when put up against other craft beers of the same styles, none are great or outstanding.
-
Of course not. Don't be ridiculous. My point is that longevity does matter. No one doubts that the Stones are greatest RnR band ever, but their later stuff? Meh....
I dont think being the Ramones was easy. You seem to think that playing Jacobs Ladder in13/8 time was easy. It's not.
I don't see a clear lineage for the VU to the New York Dolls. I've always read and heard that the NYD were the FIRST glam rock band, without whom there may not have been a Bowie, a Kiss, 80's hair metal, grunge and punk.
The Dead Kennedy's, the Clash, Richard Hell and the Voidoids, Black Flag, and then the more mainstream T-Funk Heads and Blondie (vastly under-acted band) all happen with or without the SexPistols floating down the Thames.
I know what your point is. Rock n Roll is leather jackets, sex, rebellion, the Beatles in Hamburg, etc. and to a certain extent, the Hall more than welcomes that. It's the Madonna's, James Taylor's and their ilk that rub me the wrong way. Yes, Genesis, Rush, and ELP were monstrously huge bands that were fathered by Sargent Pepper. To deny them recognition in the Hall because they don't fit the jingle-jangle, leather jacket, rebellion mode is silly.
Music at some point has to be about music. These bands incorporated actual musicianship into the craft. Not everyone started their musical journey by picking up Strat copy and some decent headphones. Some of us started with musician parents and piano lessons and a father's massive collection of jazz albums. To hear rock played with the same intricacy, care, masterful musicianship as a Billy Cobham or Buddy Rich was indeed a revelation and a rebellion all it's own.
Good post. It captures much of what I've been trying to say, only better.
I'm not a big fan of The Smashing Pumpkins, but I think Billy Corgan puts it most succinctly in regard to Rush and their HOF worthiness: "At the end of the day, rock is a people's game, and the people have consistently and overwhelmingly voted for this band."

There are a lot of great craft beers. In fact there is one, White Birch, that opened right at the end of my street. Superb, but costs anywhere from $13 to $24 for a 22oz bottle. There comes a point when the slight improvement in taste isn't worth the extra cost.
PTR
When you're using Yuengling as your baseline, I don't think you can use slight improvement when comparing it to a lot of the beers mentioned in this thread. A proper analogy would be getting a burger from Wendy's vs. a steak from Ruth's Chris. The difference is night and day, and you pay for it accordingly.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no so much of a beer snob that I totally sneer at Yuengling, Bud or PBR. There is a time and a place for almost every beer. Almost.

I don't think that list is doing your argument any favors
Why not?

We used to always save vacation time to make it back to Buffalo for the holidays, however the past few years with other vacations and kids activities during the year. I just don't have the vacation time left in December to travel north.
I will be making it back in early January though. My wife and I celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary on 12/27. I asked her where she wanted to go to celebrate, and she answered very quickly with Buffalo!

Gotta say I love the craft beers, but any one else get the feeling this is going the way of the cigar craze?
I was just talking about this the other day with a friend. There is no question that there is a craft beer bubble that about to burst. There are four new breweries planned to open here in the Triangle area next year, adding to the explosion that's already occurred since they raised the legal abv limit in NC to 15% a few years back.

2007 Tacoma TRD Sport. Just hit 100k miles and its paid for, plan to drive it until it dies.

the Younger is by far the better beer....i think it gets ignored because its so hard to come by whereas the Elder is the one they make more of for distribution...
funny Beer advocate even puts it higher than the one in the original post....i like how the elder comes in slightly behind it...must be tough to have that problem as a brewer
I've had both. I don't know if Younger is better by far, but it's another damn good beer. It's just like you said that it's such a rare occasion that they actually release it and on such a limited distribution scale that I think that's why it's ignored in the AHA rankings.
Edit: I take that back, Younger is actually tied for 48th in the AHA rankings.

Well thats good news as I'm sure the doc had already heard the classification of the break before commenting. Mine was a pretty simple break just requiring some screws to put a few pieces back into place, but there are breaks that require bone grafts and extensive hardware in the knee. hopefully hers is more like mine was.
