[This season's home games]

I'm biased to play the Chiefs, as my wife and her family are all Chiefs fans.

[Best time you ever had at an away game]

AFC title game in Miami. I happened to be visiting my father in anticipation of the game. We were booed on the way in, had things thrown at us in our seats, and by halftime, the place was almost 50% Bills fans. Miami fans had seen enough and decided (I guess) to beat the traffic home.

 

Second place was the SB in Atlanta...

[ESPN Battle of the Gridiron Stars]

From the website:

 

Former NFL all-star quarterbacks Charlie Manning (New Orleans Saints) and Ken "The Snake" Stabler (Oakland Raiders) will serve as coaches for the National (blue) and American (red) teams

 

Who is Charlie Manning? ESPN needs a proofreader...

[Signups For 7 Round Mock Draft]

Dallas...woohoo!

[OT: Business Trip Time]

Where in Dallas will you be - I've lived in DFW area for 7+ years. PM me if you want.

[Timmy Chang ?]

Willie Totten?

 

He was a replacement player from the '87 squad. He was the QB for Jerry Rice in college.

[Reason 4,217,441 that I'm leaving the South]

I think SC did away with the little bottles last year.

 

That being said, it's still a little backwards. I live in Texas now and am a Bills fan. I must be a glutton for punishment.

[Honeymoon planning]

I honeymooned at the Ritz in Maui in November 2003 - the same place where the NFL is having their annual meeting. What a great place. It was a little windy, but didn't stop us from doing everything we wanted.

 

Got a great package, almost everything was included - hotel, breakfast, lunch on the conceirge level, convertible car, side trips, massages, one AWESOME dinner at the Banyan Tree restaurant, etc. By mistake, they gave us 14 passes to their championship golf courses. We didn't have time to use each of those.

 

I realize that he wasn't looking for advice beyond the resorts in the Carribbean, but wanted to gloat with everyone else!

[Opening a authentic Buffalo restaurant in Californ]

You need to serve a Royal Sub like John & Mary's...

 

Italian Sausage, Capicola, cheese (provolone), and the usual toppings (mayo, oil, vinegar, lettuce, tomato, onions).

[3 Round Mock Draft]

I think it's my turn...

 

The Dallas Cowboys select

 

[/b]

[3 Round Mock Draft]

Marcus SPears, DE LSU (Sorry for missing the earlier pick)

[A good family dog?]

Golden retriever/chow mix (looks like a golden with a chow purple tongue). Great around kids, dogs, and us.

 

She needs a lot of exercise, but putting in a doggie door with our fenced in yard was the greatest investment for her. We don't have to crate her during the day.

 

We got her at 8 weeks and moved to a new house at 5 months. ZERO accidents in the new house (9 months and counting). Very trainable.

[If you went to college]

RIT, '93

University of South Carolina (Master's), '97

 

Thanks for asking.

[3 Round Mock Draft: GM Signups]

since I live in Dallas, let me play the Jerry Jones & Bill Parcells roles. Hope I don't argue too much with myself...

[TBD Mock Draft]

in

[Rape is something you can never forget]

The alleged victim is now married with a kid on the way...usually victims take YEARS to reach that level of intimacy.

[American Idol Predictions for tonight]

My prediction...

 

A lot of awful singing (as always).

[Link for Dallas forums????]

dallasnews.com has a forum. On the left side of the page, select Sports, Cowboys/NFL, then select Forum (at the bottom).

[A freaking rant]

If you want retail, shop at CompUSA.

[Lakawanna Blues]

Don't forget about the Yemenis....

 

on that note, did anyone ever play in summer soccer leagues against them? Playing at that field next to the junk yard was like going into a combat zone...

Yes many times when I played for Amherst travel teams in the 80s.

[OT - first date]

Our first date was a Barenaked Ladies concert at Shea's in 1996.

That's a great first date. We did the BNL concert in Dallas for our second date (and first kiss). Worked very well.

[Super Bowl Predictions Thread]

Well its Friday and its time to make the picks!

 

Here are the things we can all predict on (Figured this would be fun to recap come Monday)

 

1.  Who will win and what will the score be?

 

2.  Who will be voted Super Bowl MVP?

 

3.  Who will score first and what type of score will be it be?

 

4.  Who will rush for more years, Dillon or Westbrook?

 

5.  Who will pass for more yards, McNabb or Brady?

Fire away!!!

228034[/snapback]

 

 

1) Philly 27-24

2) Donovan McNabb

3) McNabb 2 yd TD pass to LJ Smith

4) Dillon (but Westbrook will have more combined yardage)

5) McNabb

[What a jerk]

Class act? I live in Dallas and he badmouthed the Cowgirls while still playing here. He called playing for them like being a diamond surrounded by “trash” (edited).

 

A real class(less) act. He was losing PT to a younger runner.

[Another "Celebrity" Bills Fan]

Interview on ESPN.com. His books are analytical (yet easy to read) and entertaining. I think he's from the Southern Tier.

 

Malcolm Gladwell Interview on ESPN

 

JM: Almost all the ideas and anecdotes in "Blink" can connect cleanly with problems and challenges facing sports organizations, teams, and athletes. Any teams or athletes coming to you for consultation?

 

MG: None! Not even my beloved Buffalo Bills!

[National Signing Day]

Go Gamecocks. They had a very surprising close with some players de-committing their verbals. They kept climbing as the day went on...Spurrier will have a better year next year (early prediction of top-10 based on his name recognition alone).
