  1. I'm surprised that no one has mentioned Jim Haslett yet. IF Donahoe DOESN'T get fired, Haslett is a natural for DC - there is both a Buffalo connection (for Mr. Wilson) and a Pittsburgh connection (for our GM). Never mind...saw it in another thread.
  2. Always start RBs who will get the ball 20x per game (McGahee, Johnson, Gado, Portis). Even if it means that you're only starting 1 WR.
  3. Go Gamecocks! I went to SC for grad school (M.Ed. '97). The girls there are incredible.
  4. My wife is a Chiefs fan, so she's pissed that the game isn't carried live on DirecTV. Guess we'll have to find something else to do...
  5. Ira Albright (the FB/NT from the scab team) Norwood Vann (LB who didn't make it past training camp in the 80's)
  6. I happened to be at the Mandalay last week for a conference. The sumo wrestlers walked around wearing their robes and flipflops. It was kind of surreal seeing a bunch of 400lb men playing the slots. Some of them could make great OL or DL, but with the training it would take, and the cultural transition, you're looking at 3-5 years apiece.
  7. UH...it's not Cade McNown (who is no longer in the NFL), it's Josh McCown.
  8. I think Donahoe would look at Jim Haslett as DC. Local and Pittsburgh ties.
  9. Contact the hotel and see if they'll match the rate found on Expedia. That way, no worries. Tell them that you'll be happy to email a link.
  10. With my luck, the game would be moved to a late afternoon game, as I'm flying to Vegas that afternoon. I intentionally set my flight to be a few hours after the game ended... although, if they move the game to Mon night, I'd be able to get a bet down for the game. How about a Mon night Bills game? Come on NFL!
  11. same as above - your 1st round pick was not good. Both Portis and Culpepper are 2nd round picks in 12 team drafts. I'd advise that you pick up Mewelde Moore, RB, Vikings. Bennett is banged up again and Moore is starting the next preseason game for the Vikes.
  12. [Larry jogs out to the mound to break up a players' conference] Larry: Excuse me, but what the hell's going on out here? Crash Davis: Well, Nuke's scared because his eyelids are jammed and his old man's here. We need a live... is it a live rooster? [Jose nods] Crash Davis: . We need a live rooster to take the curse off Jose's glove and nobody seems to know what to get Millie or Jimmy for their wedding present. [to the players] Crash Davis: Is that about right? [the players nod] Crash Davis: We're dealing with a lot of sh!!. Larry: Okay, well, uh... candlesticks always make a nice gift, and uh, maybe you could find out where she's registered and maybe a place-setting or maybe a silverware pattern. Okay, let's get two! Go get 'em.
  13. Use the VBD Excel file on this page (scroll down). Much better than fftoolbox, as you more closely mimic settings.. Use this one...
  14. I think you're thinking of www.footballguys.com the VBD is on the right side of the page as you scroll down
  15. No Talent Ass Clowns (with a picture of Michael Bolton as my logo)
  16. Good work, but I've counted 52 on your roster. Did you count Neufeld twice?
  17. take a chance on another RB like Michael Bennett or go the safe route and take the best WR on your board (maybe WR Steve Smith)
  18. Good old DiBella's subs. Used to go to the one on Jefferson Ave near RIT. they frequently were out of bread by 5/6pm so no dinner subs.
  19. You forgot about the planes flying overhead carrying a sign reminding nearby residents that the store is about to open (not that we could forget because of the publicity). We live in Allen (Custer & Hedgecoxe) and saw the plane overhead from our pool. I also saw the plane this morning towing the same sign in Plano.
  20. If we're considering a nickel back as a starter...I think Lindell could lose his job to a K TBD.
  21. I saw them coming up as I started grad school at SC in '95. Their album had just begun to get some airplay. They would hang around 5 points and play the bars (for free) to hone their skills. They always sounded better on the covers than on their own music (IMHO). They filmed an MTV Unplugged event on the campus. I "worked" the concert and was one of the few people allowed to walk around the crowd. the crowd had to stay seated during the show because of all the cameras. After filming ended (about 15 songs with 3 repeats), Hootie played a couple of cover tunes as a "thank you" so everyone could get up and dance a little. They played "China Grove" and something else that I can't remember. They'd probably be a great party band. Maybe weddings and barmitzvah's aren't too far away for them.
