I would assume that he does (too lazy to verify), but that's more indicative that he was (that might be the operative word) a good kicker & he was our most recent kicker. Kicking has improved MEASURABLY over the yrs. I think Googalak(sp?) was an all-pro having made like 66% one yr. Norwood, at the time, was among the most accurate in history, making about 80% on his career. These days, if you make <90%, you're in jeopardy of losing your job.

What's wrong w/ putting 2 full size appliques on the helmets to change colors? They apparently are changing the stickers for the emblems.

Generalisimo Francisco Franco is still valiantly holding on in his fight to remain dead.

It stands to reason that if you run ~25% more plays, then all else being equal, you'll have 25% more injuries. Unfortunately, injuries are often a more than 1 game thing, so although you're also subjecting your opponents (for that game) to the same added risk, over the season, we will have more injuries which will be a competitive disadvantage. Now, does it outweigh our supposed advantage of keeping the tempo up? That's the question.

I believe the Pats* led the league in # of plays last yr. Typically, I think teams do ~60 plays/gm. We were getting ~80 in preseason (except the last game). If both us & the Pats* go hurry up, we might well see almost 200 plays this game! We're presumably the younger team; I also think more of an emphasis has been put on conditioning. This might play to our advantage (that is assuming that the game stays close.)

Curious no ST Capts named. I guess we no longer have any established players there, but still.Sanborn maybe? He does his primary function well, been around for awhile and seems to contribute to coverage as well.

What common feature do Hamtramk MI & Hollywood CA share? & I believe they're the only 2 US cities that do.

Can't we file one of those "freedom of information act" petitions to get the scoop (or is it cup )?

I had a torn rotator cuff (& suspected torn labrum) & the ortho (surgeon) recommended surgery. I'll interject that it was caused from Vball; possibly I did something to initially damage it, & I continued playing & it got progressively worse. Anyway, surgeon said recovery time was anywhere from 6wks to 4 months depending on what they found & what the ended up doing. From what I researched, all but the most severe tears will heal themselves, just not perhaps as efficaciously as surgery. Considering some of the horror stories I know of from surgery (granted, mostly knees), I really didn't want to have surgery, especially when likely an equivalently long rest would likely solve the problem. Anyway, 6 weeks, no Vball then a few months of "babying it". It was fine. I'll add however, that a couple years later now, I'm starting to have discomfort again & am limiting myself to about 2x/wk. Whether it's related to the previous injury or new wear & tear, IDK. Regardless, I did have ~2 yrs of painfree, full performance from it. Prolly need to take another break for awhile soon & all will be well again. Sucks to be old.

Reminds me of a lab TA I had. Every once in awhile, he run around saying "supply key, supply key". Took me 1/2 the dang semester to realize that corresponded to us having a "surprise quiz". DOH

Much like Cuglablasta, I've had a few experiences w/ "special orders" & such w/ HD that were VERY bad. It seems that they just DGAF about customer svc. If it's something in the store, no matter - prices, selection, quality etc both stores have advantages & disadvantages. But if it's a special order, or something where good customer svc might be valuable, HD would have to yield a SIGNIFICANT savings in order for me to risk dealing w/ them. FWIW, Lowes is much closer to my house, so they're my default, which is fine w/ me.

Do you perhaps have a vanity plate that sez like "A nu start"? http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://i0.wp.com/www.rowsdowr.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/anustart-arrested-development-blue.png%3Fresize%3D600%252C600&imgrefurl=http://www.rowsdowr.com/2013/05/30/anustart-t-shirts-for-sale-arrested-development/&h=600&w=600&sz=171&tbnid=7UOwQctjG5uM-M:&tbnh=138&tbnw=138&zoom=1&usg=__T8Ld_K4YcIgcGLCZaP_Szl9qFpU=&docid=LjYRqgsBxF_xwM&sa=X&ei=bmnLUdm5M6jf0gH2-oHQCA&ved=0CD8Q9QEwAw&dur=862

Is there perhaps an element of irony to this?

I had it done ~14 or 15 yrs ago. Yes, I personally was happy w/ it, but I will concede it is a tradeoff of a few factors. Briefly, I'd say that if you're willing/able to wear contacts rather than glasses, it's prolly not worth the tradeoff/risk. I couldn't wear contacts & had ~12 or so yrs of primarily not wearing glasses. I now wear them most of the time. The reason I don't get an "enhancement" is that were I to do so, I would then need reading glasses & I'd rather remove my glasses to read up close than put some on &/or not be able to if I don't have them w/ me.

You got the sense from the very beginning that something was amiss, or at least not as it appeared. Didn't quite expect that, though.

I'd like to add that in almost all instances, when a prank phone call is aired, one of the parties is aware they're being recorded. In some (most?) states, that is all that is necessary. In this case, the both parties in the conversation were unaware they were being recorded AND that their conversation was essentially being illegally tapped.

Casual? If it's "casual", why would you wanna wear sneakers? Flipflops!

I, too, greatly value ST. However, while most are lauding much of our new coaching staff, at least on paper, our ST coach is seemingly a very weak hire. We'll see. Much is dependent on what the HC emphasizes (Levy, Jauron = great ST. Wade & Chan, no so much)

My preference woulda been Millner or Warmack (both selected right after #8) then go QB in round 2. BUT we got the QB that we needed (& obviously our 1st choice) AND we managed to get another 2nd rounder. Is this scenario better than waiting to pick from whatever QBs are left at 41 (& having everyone virutally certain that we will pick a QB there)? IDK; depends on how much disparity there was in their ratings of the various QBs.

Sounds like a recorder. FWIW, the album liner (Touchdown) indicate numerous flutes, but only 1 recorder (George Marge). Unfortunately, the listing isn't song specific.

No he wasn't. As I said b4, it was a different era of passing. You didn't go thru a season w/ only a handful of INTs, and your "possession" WRs would avg like 15 YPC. His INT %age was typical for QBs at that time. In fact, for the longest time (IDK if it's still the case) Fergy held the record for LEAST INTs in a season! In '76 when he only played like 7 games due to back injury, he only had 1 INT in ~160 attempts, which for at least 25+ yrs was the record.

I would've rated him good, but not elite. Different era back then. As others have mentioned, he was prone to hanging his head. Couldn't find anyone tougher - just watch the S.D. playoff game in '80 or '81 for reference - he basically played it one one foot (IMO it would've been a different outcome if he was the slightest bit mobile or even if he was able to step into his throws). As for the helmet color change, IIRC (I could be mistaken), he was colorblind so although the thought behind it was to distinguish our players from other teams in the division, it likely wasn't at his request, I think the idea was Stevenson's..

Golf playoff. 18-1. LOL.

If I'm referring to any carbonated soft drink, then I use "pop". If I'm referring to ice cream put in pop, then it's a soda. If it's a cola soft drink, then it CAN be referred to as a coke, much like slip-joint pliers can be referred to as Channelocks or hot tubs Jacuzzis.

Just b4 the buzzer, 1959 :
