He shares notes with Pat Kirwan. If JP plays horribly this season, they can say they told us so. If JP plays excellently, they'll say they liked this kid all along and knew he'd be an NFL talent from the start. It's the same BS. What I don't get is why so many people bother to spend their precious breath reading that crap.

Puhonix, Too bad those pics are for their Match.com profiles!

Agreed, with the correction that the coup happened in '99. He didn't announce himself as President until '01, but for all intents and purposes he was in charge of Pakistan and the military. Pardoning Khan in exchange for cooperation was a political move Musharraf probably had to make. Another note on the topic, I would add that I'd like to see Armitage face some kind of penalty for divulging the information he did, even if it was inadvertant. Things like that can't go unpunished. Scooter Libby will be on trial for perjury and Armitage gets nothing? Not right.

Toilet paper stuck to your shoe at a job interview is embarrassing. Two women wearing the same dress is embarrassing. Your dog crapping in your neighbor's lawn while he's having a family cookout is embarrassing. Having your nuclear program sold to one of the world's biggest bullies on your watch is at least an 'Oh sh--!' moment... and to most people would be a big wake-up call that you'd better get control over it right quick. Musharraff seems to be a friend in an unfriendly world. He faces internal pressures that boggle the mind as to how he stays in power.... Three assassination attempts by extremeists. It's in his interest to cooperate. Whether it was Armitage's threat that lit a fire under his butt to cooperate all the more, whatever. That's called the Stick. Other times we use the carrot. What can you say?

Just barely.

Premiere is 4 October. There'll be 6 eps in a row, then a hiatus for 13(?) weeks, then they're running all new eps 'til the end. None of last season's on-again-off-again show-the-first-five-eps-ten-times skips. Which I think is a very good decision. Anyone seen the recent ads for the new season, ie Jack facing a wall of water? Looks like the pace picks up.

Doesn't surprise me. Volek knew he wasn't good enough to be a starter here either, which is why he didn't come to Buffalo. He lacks that necessary ambition, and he knows he lacks the skills. It's like the kid who was overjoyed to be fourth flute at the school concert. Don't be so quick to say Fischer's the bad/crazy guy here.

I think this map is wrong. WPRI which is the R.I. CBS affiliate has the Bills-Jets game listed in the TitanTV listings.

Coy Wire --- holding onto a roster spot since 2001 by being in the right place at the right time four times a season.

I always shout back, "Where do you apply that again?!" Head-On --- increasing market share by causing the headaches they purport to cure.

I, too, was for taking Nugent in the 3rd, or even trading into the late 2nd. At OSU, he was solid from 50+ and put KOs through the endzone. I don't know what happened to him. Maybe he's trying to coast w/o putting much work in the offseason. Maybe the Jets have a sh--head for a ST coach. Maybe he needs more time to adjust to the NFL speed.... Lindell's success has been great news. Word was (after the draft Nugent was in) that in his first season here RL had a shoulder injury that threw off his form. He committed to building up his leg strength. Having Schneck at LS has obviously helped him and Moorman. Since he's shown improvement and commitment to his game, I'm one of his strongest supporters. At the time, I don't think it was entirely unreasonable to want to upgrade if we could, as FGs were projected to be important w/ a struggling O. Hindsight is 20/20. I don't recall anyone saying we should pick him in the 1st, tho.

Albeit, about 10 weeks too late to have any effect for salvaging actual leadership'n'stuff in the locker room.

Just curious. I consider it terrorism, as they blew the side off of a hotel.... but then by your definition, it was targeting U.S. military personnel in the hotel. (My brother is in the Raven group created as a result of Khobar). Your rationale seems like it would absolve McVeigh of 'terrorism' if the day-care center wasn't in Murrah, b/c his beef was with our federal gov't. I don't think 'collateral damage' is a necessity for calling something terrorism.

Agreed about the 'toning down' of the broadcasts. CBS got rid of the inch-and-a-half rolling scrolling and mostly just do a modest line at the bottom that goes through the scores. The SNF has been light years ahead in quality of what I thought it would be. Haven't watched a game on FOX b/c I've had no reason to, and I don't watch any of the pregame crap as a rule while the weather is still nice outside.

Despite it being run by FAUX News.... That's exactly what I posted upthread. Look at the Pope's words in what the media has touted as his "apology." He was sorry for the reaction the remarks caused. I don't expect the Pope to apologize for saying something that is true.

Where exactly does the Khobar Towers bombing fit in all that? Terrorism is many things. For that a reason, I like my definition better.

Where do you get off, JSP?!?! We're supposed to apologize to the Muslims for everything. We must apologize for the Crusades, apologize for being attacked on 9/11.... We must apologize for Daniel Pearl being beheaded. We must apologize to the Muslims for our breathing. Only then can Ahmed eat his falafel in peace.

"I know it when I see it." This is a rich topic to be started by a fuggin' 19-year-old who can't get subject-verb agreement straight.

1) It wasn't a cheap shot. Ungentlemanly, yes; Welker should have just steered JL out of bounds to take him out of the play. 2) It sounded much worse than it really was. That was the sound effect of plastic hitting plastic about 2 feet from the mics.

Also, it probably helps to not have the Triple Reverse Halfback-Option Fleaflicker blow up in the backfield.... and the whole Blitz First, Blitz Second ... Blitz Last thing.

And was that "The Rest of Me" by Ex-Mr. Jessica Simpson playing on the PA at PeePee Park? How is that boo-hoo-fest a football song?!?!

That was the model Hitler used to deflect any criticism that the Nazis' extermination of the Jews would be remembered by anyone. ----- So the Pope apologized a couple of days ago, saying that he was sorry for the reaction the remarks caused. Note his words, which I admire for their backhandedness. Sorry for the reaction. Sorry that some people are so fvcking stupid that they react over nothing. The Islamics' 'Well I NEVER!!!' reaction to a comment that they infer as saying their religion is evil and spread by the sword.... is to say they will attack the Vatican and butcher the Pope. And round and round it goes.

No, that's 'Morman Love.'

You must not have seen the Head-On headache reliever ads.

IIRC, after three years of TD, the only player on the roster that didn't have TD's fingerprints on him was EM. Glad to see that Marv doesn't have that need for 100% of the credit, as if that matters, and no hesitation to drop Name Players whose skill set just doesn't fit what we're doing. With the emphasis on the run yesterday, I can see we're back to Buffalo Bills football. Bring on the Jets, and bring on the throwback jerseys!
