Not to dredge up an old thread, off-season, but I just found this clip I had never seen before, while looking for something else on the youtube! Got a chuckle out of it!

Another great call! Not too long ago, I was watching the last season of "The Office" on DVD (always a season behind!) and when it looked like Will Ferrell was going to take over for Steve Carrel, I started to think I wouldn't watch the show anymore...I did get a few chuckles out of his GW impression over the years (that HBO special was bad though), but I just don't find him very funny at all...though I think Carrey would mop the floor with him, in this title bout that you suggest! I will not engage you crayonz...

He can't produce, if he almost never gets the ball...I hope he has a monster game...if he does, he might be able to "re-open" this offense! I have not seen near enough of him to label him a "bust"...

I hope he stuns everyone, and kicks the Jets ass... he is never going to be any good if he never gets to play...Fred's injury is very convenient...

Jeez, I can't stand him...I have been told by a few people "yeah, but you have to see "Eternal Sunshine". I have been told I will love that movie...but I just can't...I think he is one of the least funny "hilarious people" out there....if you ever saw the series finale of "Larry Sanders" (my favorite comedy show of all-time), Sanders can't stand him either, but has him on his last show, because he is sure to draw ratings...it is a perfect bit...he comes on and goes crazy, over the top, typical Jim Carrey schtick...I do give him (Carrey) credit for doing the show, cuz what the Sanders character says about him, is what everyone who hates him would say...

JLO is hot...!

There are only 32 starting NFL QB jobs...

I like it loud too! Though, I will say, I know my hearing took a noticable turn for the worse around 1993. I was at a Paul Westerberg concert, standing right up front, near a wall of speakers...everthing was cool, until Bob Mould got up on stage during the encore, and his guitar was so loud, I felt my ears pop...I had felt that before, but the sensation would subside, by the next morning...not this time...my ears were wringing for days...and I don't think they have ever been the same...particularly the right ear...I never would have thought of wearing ear plugs then, and I still never do. Think that was actually a Ted Nugent quote.... Keith said, "If it ain't Chuck it ain't !@#$!" Referring, of course, to Chuck Berry.

I sometimes wonder if Amercians really have the "bizarre need", or if American advertising has just conditioned us to it. A few years ago, I went to an Arena football game, when the Austin Wranglers were still in town. It was insane...the football game itself was secondary to the constant barrage of sideshows...there was constant "arena rocks" type music blastting, when there was any kind of break in the action on the field, there was some sort of performance going on (cheerleaders, dancing mascots, midgets running pass routs, steroid abusers shooting t-shirts from "cannons" into the stands)...and to top it all off, being "kids day", they handed out "thunder sticks" to everyone. The place was packed, and it was so freaking noisy (thundersticks should be banned), I had the worst headache about a quarter into the game. We took some young children, my friends 7 year old daughter included. At half-time they had some silly shopping cart race, sponsored by a local grocery store...they kept shooting off cannon blasts anytime somebody slipped up, or veered off their track....it was brutal...my buddies daughter started balling her eyes out...it was way too much stimultion for anyone....what a nightmare. I went to an Nashville Predators/Philadelphia Flyers game a few years back, in Nashville...it wasn't quite as obnoxious, but close...and almost all the bells and whistles, smoke and mirrors, is done to advertise something...I miss the old days at the Aud, just a wurlitzer playing in the backround....

I think she was ripping the husband for not telling him that the doctor wanted the gang off his land, once her son was healthy. It makes sense, cuz she was having inner-turmoil about whether to have her baby or not...maybe on the farm, you could bring a kid up with some joy, but not out in the world...

Crosby is the NHL equivalent of Tom Brady, for most fans. Too bad...should enjoy the greats, no matter what team they play for (except Miami) while they are still playing.

He is a fantastic hockey player...a goal and two assists, after missing nine and half months of hockey...if anybody hated him before, they are really going to hate him now...Pens look good...though it is only the Islanders...

I assume that Spiller is getting the start, because Jackson is injured?

I guess I don't hate it as much as you, but I have noticed a lot of what you are talking about...I still find it interesting enough, and and entertaining...I just thoght the first season had a much better tone. Though, the hamfisted use of the Bob Dylan song at the end of season one should have been a clue of what was to come... The writing/editing, or whatever is just not very strong. According to the dialoug, they have only been at the farm for three days (at least in the episode prior to this one) but they have done a poor job of establishing time, so it seems like they have been there for weeks on end...funny, it doesn't even seem like the mother of the little girl is as concerned about her as the others... I agree with John, they are trying to establish the characters a bit more...which is why (I guess I am in the minority) I thought the episode last week, where Darryl (redneck?) gets lost in the woods, was really good...the corny end, where the blond lady shoots him by mistake was sort of silly...but all in all, a good episode. Rick (good cop) going on about being a reluctant leader, or "is there a god" is getting kind of tiresome. I also think they are setting up (obviously) factions in the group...bad cop and blondie, Glenn and the farmers' daughter, Darryl and the missing girls mother...Rick and his family...Old man and "T-Dog"...with as many conflicts as they all seem to have, I find it kind of hard to fathom that they made it as long, toghether, as they have. Agree with whoever said it, the scene between the old man and the bad cop was a little over the top... The "Ralph Wilson bug" started showing up with "Mad Men", AMC's first real successful show. They wrote a few characters out of the show, and when the company moved to a new office, on the show, I understand, they worked on a really small set and had difficulty getting a lot of standard camera angles down, due to space limitations. Somebody in another thread, maybe the "Breaking Bad" thread, suggested that, perhaps, AMC had struck "too much gold" with "Mad Men", "Breaking Bad" and "The Walking Dead" and just couldn't afford to sustain shows with such unexpected, lofty, reputations. Perhaps the dreadful "Killing" will help get them back on track!!

I'd like to see something approaching a competitive game...is that too much to ask?

One problem that the show seems to be falling into, which it avoided in the first season, they are needing clumsy, awkward dialog to explain what is happening, or to make sure the viewer understands the context of what is happening. Sci-fi has always had to deal with that problem... I might watch "Hell On Wheels" at some point, though I have heard pretty mixed things on it...I just can't afford the time to add anything else to my viewing cue right now...between "Walking Dead" "Boardwalk Empire", "Dexter" football and hockey I spend too much time in front of the boob-tube during the fall and winter months.

To me, the season opener, and last weeks, "Chupacabra" episode were the best of the season...I like this show, but the writing has been a little underwhelming so far this season...and it has been really repetitive. The scene in the drugstore, where the walker attacks the girl was so predictable, almost laughably so..and, unless I missed something (very possible) how did they draw the conclusion that Sophia "might be" in one of those houses? Or, was that the cop just making it up, because he wanted to go there for some other reason? It just didn't make sense. I have no problem with slow moving plots, but it is starting to feel like the gang (or moreover the show)is kind of stalled on the farm there...from what I can tell, all that has happened over this season is supposed to have taken place in 3-4 days...but it seems like an eternity. They keep having these clumsy scenes where we are supposed to be seeing some sort of factions being built up amongst the ranks, but there is no dramatic payoff to them. Maybe there will be...

The best thing the Bills have going for them is the fan base. We deserve better than we get...I am hardly a Bills apologist, or one of those wearing rose-colored glasses. But, I am so sick of people coming here, and trying to blame Bills fans for how pathetic this franchise is for the last decade. Everybody has a job (owners, managment, coaches, players, and fans) and as far as I can see, the fans have been holding up their part of things in exemplary fashion. The fans have ben doing their job.

Good call! Another so-so episode last nigth...only one more, before the "Season 2, Part 2" starts in February.

God no...

I beg to differ on Hangartner...you just can't go into an NFL football season (particularly the Bills) and expect that your ordained starters (the cheapest guys, or the best guys) will not suffer some injuries...a guy like Hangartner, who has started at guard and center in the NFL, would be invaluable rigth now. Not having a legit NFL center is going to take Fred Jackson out of the mix, not to mention the woeful passing game.

Yes, he went to a smaller herd of sheep...

There was a national publication, back when people still read magazines (sorry, can't remember which one) that painted a very unflattering picture of Thurman...it told a story very similar to this...he said something about the kid's mother "sucking my dick" it was claimed. I only met Thurman once, back in his later playing days, in New Orleans...he was great. I think, when he got older, like Kelly, they kind of matured a bit. But, at the height of their careers, they were probably both a little arrogant and immature...I think we could let them live it down some...but it comes up all the time on this board. As for Thurman vs Obama, seems like Thurman has latched on to the Tea Party...take that for what it is worth.

That might be part of it, seriously. However, the last few years, they have struggled at home, and have been a good road team. I always thought it was a case of "pressing" a bit too much at home, and trying to create too many pretty plays, in front of the fans...they just gotta realize, the fans in Buffalo will love you if you just friggin' win...doesn't matter if you do it with lots of offense, or boring New Jersey Devils style...just win!
