My girlfriend’s brother runs this site http://www.letsgowings.com he called us during the ceremony in tears. One of my all time favorite athletes and I'm not even a hockey fan. -
I posted a thread about them switching two weeks ago. If it happens I fully expect somebody to create a separate thread congratulating me on my prognostication powers. I also think we need try and be less egocentric around here

thanks for the explanation. Love that song. My Mom's an English teacher which left me with a decent vocabulary. It also let me to skate threw life without ever spell checking my own work... At 24 I'm finally now getting my there, they're, their.

I have a decent vocabulary, but what the heck does "eminence front" mean? I only ask because I love The Who's Eminence Front. Maybe I would like it even more if I knew what the heck it was refereeing to.

Brittany collapses at New Years party
Mikie2times replied to /dev/null's topic in Off the Wall Archives
No doubt. If it's enough booze to make you pass out her eyes would barely be open. At the least they would be glazed to all hell. She's either on coke, x, or some other stimulant. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if she was trashy enough to take crystal meth. -
I don't loath some of the original reality monsters like the new ones. The Survivors and American Idol type shows seem to have a place in reality land that’s different then the real world spin-offs. I also don't mind the shows that try to educate like Dog Whisperer or Flip That House. What I truly can't stand is the reality TV shows that tries to get people to envy the lives of the characters, or the ones that get viewers by having the most dysfunctional people or plot lines possible. It's mind boggling to me how any intelligent adult finds this crap interesting. Lots of people do though. So many that they keep spawning at a record paces. After a long day I don't want more reality, I especially don't want somebody else’s fake reality. If you feed the obsession I'm talking about please explain to me why, but before you do strike yourself in the head a few times with a blunt object.

In the 2011 draft the Bills take...
Mikie2times replied to SACTOBILLSFAN's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I was the one that posted the Devine footage. At the time he was a sophomore, only around 160 lbs. He was still pretty incredible to watch. You know if he added any weight since then? -

Denver Broncos DB Darrent Williams shot and killed.

http://www.citymayors.com/society/uscities_safest.html Not sure how much things have changed. This study was published in 2004 ranking Denver 9th safest in violent crime among the 48 cities with a population over 250,000. It ranks 22 out of 48 for murders. -

I figured it was on the low end compared to most major American cities. Denver is actually worse? Very surprising. -

This is horrible news. Denver is about as safe a downtown community as you'll fined. The Denver post sighted an altercation at the bar, nobody knows if it's linked to the shooting or not. Some are discussing how the culture of these athletes increases the likelihood of these events happening. All I know is that being a man in today’s society means walking away. I'm not saying if he did that in this instance DW would be alive (nobody knows what happened). I'm just saying in general it's better to swallow your pried and avoid confrontation. Way too many people own guns, and way too many people can't just throw down and be done with it. -
Lot's of scramblers can have success throwing in high school or college. It's the result of teams lacking the athletic ability to stop the scrambler from scrambling in base formations. Teams dare the scrambler to win throwing because they most certainly will win if you can't take away their legs. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes you end up letting the guy run and pass all over you. In the NFL teams don't have to take such drastic measures to take away a QB's running ability. At the least they will let a QB rip off some long runs because they know it can't be done consistently enough to win. So to be good long term, and consistently you need to be able to win on the merits of your arm, and your arm alone. If in a couple of seasons Vince Young can show that in the NFL I'll eat crow by the gallon. But nothing he's done at Texas, or in high school, or thus far in the NFL shows that.

People with racist agendas discuss how smart a QB needs to be, and how few black QB's you see in the NFL. They conclude the black player isn't smart enough to be a QB. This couldn't be further from the truth. The problems start for these guys in terms of NFL preparation right from the beginning. It is not the primary goal of a high school/college coach to prepare a player for the NFL. The primary goal is always winning. If you're a coach you want to put your team in the best position to win each game no matter what level of play you’re at. In high school the athletic QB's can have more success running then passing. The athletes just aren't good enough to stop the scrambling QB's from running or optioning. These coaches aren't racist, they’re just trying to win, and winning is more likely when you use the most consistent risk free method of moving the football. A similar story happens in college, especially in the case of the super QB athlete like Vick and Young. The whole time these guys could have NFL caliber arm strength, but it's never harnessed like it would be for the pocket passer. They're offering a more effective way of moving the football, which offers a more consistent way to win. This continues being true all the way until the NFL. Now everybody is fast and athletic. The hit's and speed in which the game is played is mind boggling. The athletic QB can no longer do the things he did for the past 6-8 years in high school and college. They must now learn to win on the merits of their arms. That's very difficult for pocket guys who’ve already been doing it for 6-8 years. Its borderline impossible for the athletic QB to do it with a fraction of the experience. We eventually saw Vicks athletic ability give way to his inability to read and throw. It took longer then normal being that he is not just a good athlete but a world class athlete. The same can be said about Vince in terms of athleticism. He still hasn't showed us he can win on the merits of his arm, and that alone. Until then nobody can say with certainty that he will be any different. I see the same quality’s as the rest of you in terms of leadership but it all boils down to how he was brought up as a player, and what that has meant progression wise for others in a similar situation.

Yes, just like in South Park the movie.

Flawed how? Because I compared Young to the only guy who's ever resembled his style of play? Sure Flutie "just won" so did Vick early on, so do a ton of these scramblers early on. After a few games, or in some cases seasons, it stops. Coordinators learn tendencies, the hit's start adding up. What did Flutie do after he left Buffalo? What is Vick doing now? I implore you to give me examples of scrambling QB's that sustained play over 5 seasons. I'm not talking about the Donovan McNabs either, I'm talking clear run first QB's. For every one that survived more then a handful of games, or seasons, I could name 100 that haven't. I'll pick this discussion up again a few years from now, until then I'll side with history.

If they only had Mike Tysons Punch Out, still it's pretty sweet and free.

My 360 broke down after 1 week .It's being fixed right now by Microsoft. What I tried was clicking the post link tab at the left, then inserting the full URL in the 2nd box. The link will appear but when I click on it it's broken.

Kevin Gilbride to take over Giants Play calling

I'm surprised Tiki isn't retiring before Sunday. -
The hype surrounding Young is the exact same thing people said about Vick. I didn't buy into Vick then, and I'm not buying into Young now. He can be General Patton for all I care; only a select few scrambling QB's have shown they can sustain success for more then a few years. The only guy in recent history who's adapted was McNair and we all saw how often he was injured. The hits add up, the defensive coordinators learn there tendencies, and the potential for a career ending injury is one hit away. The bottom-line is he will eventually have to adapt to make it in the NFL for the long term. As history taught us the odds of that happening aren't high. Doing exactly what Vick did to us last year doesn't make them any higher. Flame Away

who should play this season finale ?
Mikie2times replied to ganesh's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The only guy I'm listing is Ashton Yobouty. Nate status is uncertain and McGee has been just pitiful at times this year. Unfortunately CB could very well leap frog some of the more discussed needs on this team. -
According to sperlings best places to live Denver gets 51.7 inches, Buffalo averages 85.4. I lived in Kalamazoo, MI for about 5 years and thought it snowed a ridiculous amount compared to the eastern part of Michigan. Turns out we got the same as Denver, about 52 inches, while the Detroit area only averages in the low 30's. A little northwest of Kalamazoo is Grand Rapids, MI which is much closer to lake Michigan. They average 64 inches per year. The moral of the story is the Great Lakes are snow creating bastardos, and Lake Erie is the biggest bastard of them all.
