I really don't care much but what peeves me off is the dude is gonna do a stunt that takes 7 minutes & they're gonna make a 2 HOUR tv show of it. What are they gonna do, have like 100 minutes of commercials?

Afraid I can't be of much help w/ your problem.
As it appears you've already had your share of facetious remarks, let me add another comment.
Isn't by definition an insecticide toxic?

The players themselves might have been pleasantly surprised w/ how early they were taken, but you can rest assured that their agents will still try to squeeze every penny out of the negotiations that they can (that is their job).
1st Round pick are always more difficult to sign; I believe typically the earlier the worse, so unless things have changed due to the new CBA, I'd be surprised if those two guys are signed & in camp when it 1st when it 1st opens.

I think you can/should throw Cutler & Leinart out of the mix as maybe we really weren't interested in a QB (i.e. we had much more pressing holes).
Good point re: watching the development of the 3 DTs, also relative to any of several that we could have had w/o surrendering a pick to move up). However, that is really only like 2 instances (value of Whitner relative to the 2 we passed on & then McCargo), which considering the crapshoot that the draft is, is hardly sufficient evidence to make a meaningful evaluation upon.
Sorta like evaluating an investment advisor based solely on a couple of stock rankings.

Gonna see a lot of idling cars in bar/tavern parking lots.

ps. Was he the only person in the history of the NFL to wear the puffy helmet?
No. At about the same time period, an OL guy for the 9ers wore one, too. Perhaps others, but those are/were the only 2 I know of.

If I can add 1 more -
In one of the Pink Panther movies, when Clousseau tries to cross the moat. I think the best, most LOL physical comedy ever. All those movies were great, but that one scene was classic.

Off the top of my head, two:
From Trading Places :
Think big, think positive, never show any sign of weakness. Buy low, sell high.
Fear? That's the other guy's problem. Nothing you have ever experienced will prepare you for the unlimited carnage you are about to witness. Superbowl, World Series -- they don't know what pressure is. In this building, it's either kill or be killed. You make no friends in the pits and you take no prisoners. One moment you're up half a mil in soybeans and the next, BOOM!, your kids don't go to college, and they've repossessed your Bentley.
Also, for another reason, the Jamie Lee Curtis dance scene from True Lies.

Anyone want to try telling me he doesn't have drug problem again?
I don't know whether or not he has a drug problem (nor do you). He DOES have a problem w/ the NFL substance abuse policy.

Actually, IMO as woman vball players go, Misty May is a ways down the list (not that she's not quite attractive). Her partner, Kerri Walsh is hotter. And Rachel Wachholder is practically another species.

I found this site quite helpful.
I bought an LG 42" Plasma last August. Overall, I'm VERY happy w/ it (HD is AWESOME!), although the model does have some querks. Actually, I ended up buying at Circuit City as except for NYS Sales Tax, they were as cheap as even any unauthorized dealers on the net.

Okay, so there IS a way to successfully negotiate the 'dating' your girlfriend's roommate.

A chinese man goes into the bank to exchange his yen for dollars,
FYI, China's currency is the Yuan. Yen is Japan.
It was a funny joke & good for a laugh though!

45.) So the judge says, "I'm sorry Mr. Mouse but the court denies your request for divorce, as we find your wife, Minnie, to be mentally competent."
To which, Mickey replies, "Oh no, your Honor, I didn't say she was crazy. I said she was f#@$ing Goofy!"

Or maybe just make ride designers realize where the practical limit of an average person's tolerance is before a ride becomes dangerous.
No, that can't afford to design it for the AVERAGE person. I suspect that at least 99% of riders suffer no, or at most minor ill effects.
That ride probably gets 1000s of riders a day (I haven't been there in decades, so I haven't seen it)
I think the problem lies in that the average persons tolerance for motion and G forces (& desire for thrill derived from a particular level of them) apparently exceeds what a few can handle. Further, most people don't know their tolerance or the realize the risk they're taking (due to their limitations).
W/o a thorough pre-screening procedure (which isn't practical), rides must be designed to be more subdued than what some would desire.

The only justification I can think that makes that statement valid is that they are CASH flow rich, therefore the actual monetary outlay is NBD for them. This, and the ever escalating cap figure allows them to deficit spend, that is pay for this years productivity in future years cap $.

One thing I'd like to add, but I can't recall exactly what was said. While out on their trek to 'the line', Kate said something to Jack about being 'not good & safe' or something. Made me think about how the others were only interested it 'good' people.

I've noticed often on national highlight shows, they show angles of plays that were never shown on the initial feed.
I'm guessing that many of those may have come from this local coverage.
From a fans perspective, I think this is a bad move as it will detract from our overall enjoyment. From a business perspective, presumably, the NFL &/or the networks owning the broadcast rights will be able to rcv more royalties, but somehow I don't that will be reflected in the product we rcv (like being able to get every game in HD
). -
I'm a zero.

I'd be more concerned w/ their ability to conficate the pet & give it to the Humane Society. What right do they have to do that?
Evict you &/or give you notice, yes definitely (you're breaking the terms of the lease). Fine you, maybe, I don't know.
But I don't think they can take your pet & for that matter, I wouldn't think that the HS would be a willing partner to such an act.

You talk about how it's normal for your best players to walk in free agency. But in Buffalo, this has become more normal than for most teams. One year, Jonas Jennings led the list of available free agent left tackles. Another year, it was Antoine Winfield being by far the best available CB.
I don't know if this is true or not (us losing more than our share of talent). Certainly, I (& probably most of us) am of the opinion that TD was more reluctant than most to pay to retain top notch talent.
But had we managed/chosen to retain the likes of Winfield & Jennings (add Wiley and perhaps Fisher & maybe a few others to the list) and it only goes to show that we didn't do that poorly in DRAFTING. Our weakness was apparently in how we chose how to use available cap space. (And here again, TD was 'judicious' in cap space usage; seldom mortgaging the future for the present like Butler did & the likes of Snyder does now. If there hadn't been such a large jump in cap $ this year, how do you think we'd be sitting relative to other teams? I'd bet we'd be in a much better postion to add talent rather than lose it. In hindsight, a few million spent each year might have been the difference in being able to retain these guys & letting them walk.)
W/ respect to our overall talent level, I think most of us thought we had a decent chance of the playoffs last year. Our Dee had been top notch the previous 2 years, largely based on talent (albeit, vet FA talent recruited from elsewhere.) The general consensus was that we underachieved.

Who is Jake Reed?
I think he's a WR that used to play for the Vikings.

Well, considering that the avg NFL career is less than 3 years, these results probably aren't too atypical. You fail to mention how our drafted players that are no longer on the team have faired. (In this era of FA, you can't expect to hold onto all of your players.)
We've kept a VERY high %age of our younger players (2003-2005); I think that's very good although granted the overal talent level of the team makes it easier for them to stay.
Any player from 1999-2001 drafts would be what you call an 'established veteran'. We've managed to retain 2. This is certainly below what you would want, but again, it fails to take into consideration how many are contributing elsewhere. And although it is low, taking into consideration typical distributions, I don't think you can conclude we did poorly.

If you are not able to install it on a rooftop, you may be able to install it on your private balcony or patio or in your garden, as long as the satellite dish has a clear view of the southern sky. In fact, a January 1999 FCC ruling states that apartment, condominium, town home and single family home renters can install either satellite dishes or TV antennas in these areas. In fact, the FCC has ruled that apartment, condominium, town home and single family home renters can install either satellite dishes or TV antennas in these areas."
This is what I meant by 'your' property.
I am not sure if anyone has done this yet...

Nice work John, but b4 being too confident in your observations, I bring up something that Mr House alluded to. Maybe it's just that Carolina DL is so much better than ours rather than Reyes being much of an upgrade to our OL.
