Kevbeau

He's listed under CONS for the Burt Reynolds version.

Let's see....the Fireball, Gable, Palowatski and Burke. I got nothing after that.

The list was getting too long as it is. I thought about Beatty in Heaven Can Wait, but couldn't remember much of the movie. As for Bradshaw...he didn't play a QB in Failure to Launch (cough..chick flik...cough). Besides, he was much better in Cannonball Run.

I tend to agree, although the allegations of cross dressing (as a cheerleader) sets of alarm bells.

Keeping in the spirit of the "greatest movie coach" thread on the Wall. Who was the best movie QB of all time. Paul "Wrecking" Crew - Longest Yard PROS: Beat the guards and stuck it to the warden. Didn't bail out on his teammates. CONS: Adam Sandler version. Shane "Footsteps" Falco - The Replacements PROS: Lives on a boat. Led team of scabs to playoffs. Scored the captain of the cheerleading squad. CONS: Thinks he's Johnny Utah. Lost all points for slugging Martel because of line dancing incident in jail. Stan "The Man" Gable PROS: Burnt down his house. Hangs with Ogre. Nicknamed "The Man." CONS: Lost Betty to Louis Skolnick because of bedroom perfomance. Paul Blake - Necessary Roughness PROS: Cannon for an arm. Gives hope to aging never-was athletes. Holds balls for the hottest kicker in history. CONS: Sleeping with teachers can get you in trouble. Levander "Bird" Williams - Wildcats PROS: Great arm and wheels. Can get you great deals on hubcaps and Casios. CONS: Lengthy rap sheet. Hangs out at Maurice's too much. Joe Kane - The Program PROS: Tagged Kristy Swanson. Helped thin the gene pool when his highway stunt was imitated. Sucks at Tennis. CONS: In Rehab. Jimmy Dix - The Last Boy Scout PROS: Can hit targets up in the suites from horseback. Has number shaved in the back of his head and $500 leather pants. Helped Hallenbeck save the life of the guy who cost him his job and avenge the death of the guy who banged his wife. CONS: Rumored addiction to painkillers. Banned from the League. Johnny "Mox" Moxon - Varsity Blues PROS: Can throw a ball 50 yards while seated... reading Shakespeare. CONS: Left Ali Larter hanging in her whipped cream suit??? The dumbest smart kid Coach Kilmer knows. Jack "Cap" Rooney - Any Given Sunday PROS: Warrior with a huge heart. CONS: Body can't handle it anymore. Knees are shot. Willy Beaman - Any Given Sunday PROS: Incredible Athlete. Put the Sharks back in playoff contention with an extended winning streak. CONS: Won't shut up. LL Cool J hates him. Gee Grenouille - The Waterboy PROS: Helped take the Mud Dogs to the Bourbon Bowl. CONS: Excluding Bobby Boucher, Coach Fonzie doesn't think anyone on the team is any good.

Well OK then. Hi. I'm Ricky Bobby. If you don't chew Big Red, then f@#$ you. What does El Diablo mean? It's like Spanish for like a fighting chicken.

Was just gonna say...No love for Ed "Straight Arrow" Gennero?

Well, I'm the best there is. Plain and simple, when I wake up in the morning I piss excellence.

Say, man, you got a joint? No.. It'd be a lot cooler if you did.

What is bring back Mike Hartman?

South Buffalo born & raised...you can figure it out

I was expecting Hulk Hogan's "Real American" video.

He was probably eating somewhere in midtown.

Too bad we don't have a snowman smilie.

Love it...like he was just heading into a meeting at the office. "Good luck man"

All over summers while in college: Worst: Custodian at the Cargill flour plant in Buffalo. Ever try to clean flour...in a flour plant? It can't be done!!!! Plus as summer labor we were only given paper/cloth masks to breathe through and if there was anywhere that the unprocessed wheat started to ferment, the smell would make you sick. I lasted two weeks and worked the second week with salmonella (f'n taco bell). Boss wouldn't give me a couple hours off to go get me second checkup with the docotor, so I quit right there. Others of Note: Forest Lawn Cemetary - Actually a very cool job. Outdoors all day. Grounds were beautiful and the place was big enough you could disappear. Landscaping was cake...preping a site and waiting for a service to end was kind of morbid at first, but you get numb to it after a while. Used to bust couples trying to lodge a lunchtime quickie quite a bit. Worst experience...."Aw man, there's already one down here." Loading Liqour/Wine trucks: Used to have to load some routes by hand...sometimes 20 trucks a night. Large orders and small trucks weren't bad, but a small order route was killer. At least a hundred trips in and out of truck. Worst was the 4L Glass bottles of Almaden wine. Cases were back killers. So if you drink Almaden wine...F.U.

Are there more attractive women? Most certaintly plenty. But having said that... I'd strap her on for size.

Too bad. When I was a kid, Piper was the man. I stil rock my "Hot Rod" T-shirt every now and then and it's amazing at the number of people that make the connection.

Just the creators of the "greatest and best song in the world." Alas, we will never know what it is, although the D does a Tribute to the greatest and best song in the world.

Tater, Just curious as I get my fix via Center ICe. I see T-shirts/hats with the new logo, but rarely see any of the new jerseys in the crowd. Plenty of vintage blues/whites and the Angry Goat Head jerseys. Am I getting the correct impression via cable? Percentages never tell the entire story. Anytime somebody claims sales are up 900%, it's because the raw numbers aren't as impressive as percentages. "Fred. jersey sales are up 900%!!!" "Wow, how many did we sell?" "9, we only sold 1 last year."

Is that the one where they cover the "Flash Gordon" theme by Queen? If so, that concert rocked.

No love for The Vapors? "Turning Japanese" will always live on as the theme song for Kung Fu Theater on Ch. 29 WUTV.

Exactly what I said listening to the NESN announcers.

Probably the "throw a cold goalie into the shootout" thing. The only goalie I've ever seen come in cold an manage a shootout is Patrick Roy and please don't compare Marty to Roy. Sabres are first place..Atlanta is a few points behind in 2nd. You don't start the "B" goalie.

Market research as in the stock market, or market research as in consumer focus groups, 1 on 1 interviews, in home studies, etc...?
