UConn James

Agreed. Maybe it goes into his 4th Q mentality... Nothing to lose and Necessity has seemed to clear his thinking this year. He hit Royal with a laser in traffic and then that's it --- coaches went small-ball. I don't let Lindell off the hook either. And, I fully believe that Lindell is blaming himself --- it's a kick he's made before, could've made and should've made. I'm not about to drive him out of town, b/c he's one of the best in the NFL. I firmly blame Dick and Turk for refusing to let the offense try anymore when they were finally moving the ball with some authority (to go along that their brilliant strategy would've left CLE ~ 40 seconds to kick a figgie of their own with a guy who just made a 56-yarder). You need to keep driving there, and Dick and Turk pulled the car to the side of the road.

2 Democrats to Submit Compromise on Lieberman

What do you think Jimbo was telling DJ there before the challenge? My guess: "Stop clapping and start coaching, you douche."

May be over right here.

Hail Mary.

Not getting the bounces. This could be a ugly one.

Preston got owned by Rogers there. "Swim move." Our OL play is brutal. Watch the Giants OL and then watch us. Who wants it more? Who's willing to make people hurt? Who plays finesse and apologizes for getting in the way?

As I've written, it almost makes you wish for Fairchild. Almost.

Wow. Only had to rush EIGHT guys to get a decent push on an OL....

Sigh.

Secret Ballot To Decide Lieberman's Fate

He was funny?

A comment on the WH computer systems.... I had an instructor back at uni who was a speechwriter for a former CT governor. This was back in the early '80s. There was a function at the WH for which they were invited. His wallet was stolen in DC. The security gate had a full-color picture of his driver's license and verified his info w/in 5 minutes. And as I said, this was in the early '80s. In keeping with presidential records laws, all communications need to be archived. There's no personal email for the prez. His West Wing staff have their own, if memory serves this was a point of contention in the Plame scandal for Rove whether emails from those machines/addresses are covered by executive privilege. Historically --- and going to current day --- presidents who wish to send anyone a message had/have to go through the WH secretary or... do it in person, I guess. Why would Obama need male enhancement? He's black.

Yeah. What KD said.

Just thought this article was interesting. Link

The 'Yes, (Prime) Minister' re-airs on our PBS are must-watch for me. Gem of a show (even if it is a bunch of limeys ). As time passes, it seems more like a documentary than a sit-com.

I haven't forgotten about it either. The Pats* are well on their way to drubbing us like the Dolphins did in the '70s (minus the 2003 opener fluke). The fact that some people here don't care or still don't see them as our biggest rivals boggles my mind. 55-10. If I were in Jauron's shoes, whenever we play them, I'd be screaming, I WANT SOME BUTT! I WANNA SEE SNOT BUBBLES COMING OUTTA THEIR NOSES. I WANNA SEE THEIR QUARTERBACK LIMPING. I WANNA SEE THAT PUNK WILFORK GET A TASTE OF HIS OWN DAMN MEDICINE! I DON'T CARE IF YOU NEED TO TAKE A PENALTY OR TWO WHEN THEY'RE DEEP IN THEIR HALF. SCREW FINESSE! MAKE THEM HURT!! All we ever get, tho, is "Ho hum."

Needed? Probably not. Might be wise for the Dems to keep Lieberman in the fold, tho. I hear that Reid basically wants/ed to strip him of chairmanships (Homeland Security and Environment). Well... if that's what they want to do there's no stopping them. I think, however, the country would be better served by putting someone at the head of the table who has experience and knowledge. Electioneering and the pettiness should be over; actual governance is what's important in the coming years. Good to see that Obama is actually sending this message, publicly at least.

Yeah, no sh--. Thing is, by the logic, the Arabs might respect Hillary more, seeing as she has a penis.

Tactically, getting Daschle and Richardson into the Obama admin would be wiser than giving up known-quantity seats in the Senate. Kerry and Clinton would be replaced by people of lesser stature/clout. Then again, for Kerry, who's just starting to enter into the twilight of a long political career might be happy to serve 4 years (or 8) in hands-on govt work (a different animal than being a pontificate in the senate), then kick back a little, and in the meantime, give someone else a chance to establish a brand in Mass. But with Daschle and Richardson, there'd be no abdication of a national seat in order to take a spot in the WW or the cabinet. Agree that Richardson would be a wise Sec of State choice for reasons of experience, knowledge and the respect he'd bring, even if he is a bit of a hokey bumbler. I've heard that Daschle is most likely to head HHS. Are there any whispers on the national security post? Kind of an important one....

Speaking for two uncles (one who was in graves registration --- an MOS with an extraordinarily high post-war suicide rate) and several other Vietnam-era vets I've worked for/with, and a brother who did a stint in Bosnia and 3 tours in the GWOT --- the most important thing they took from their service was PTSD.

Dude, there's no such thing as an ex-Marine.

B/c then, maybe the league will start giving us regular sympathy f--ks. 'Bout the last 10 years, the NFL has helped teams so they can make up their overarching stories. The 'Patriots' winning the SB after 9/11, and their help from the refs. Georgia Frontiere's team winning the SB. Bettis winning a SB in his last season. Teams like the Bills don't fit into the WWF's NFL's plans.

Sad but true. Watch other teams play football and you see football. The Bills have turned into pure daint. They ask the other team for some Grey Poupon. They teach technique and draft/sign for finesse rather than good-old nastiness and grit. The Bills having a fullback is like how us humans have the last bony vestiges of a tail. This guy is not a fullback. Sam Gash was a fullback. Then, someone decided this team shouldn't play like that. This has been happening for a while now, so it's not only the current regime. My finger points at Ralph.

Turk seems to have turned into the anti-Fairchild. Instead of the pass being the red-headed stepchild, now it's the run. With colder weather in Buffalo, and Monday night next week probably near freezing, it's gonna be a treat watching the WRs try to catch with frozen hands. This reason is why Buffalo was always run-first, smash-mouth, we know you know what's coming and we're going to run it all over your a--es anyway. We're not the team we need to be.
