  1. But now Donovan McNabb will really be confused ... Seriously though, I'm getting old so I may just not remember ... Did the playoff version come into play yet? If not, why would the league adopt a rule change that has never been shown to help anything? Also ... Trying out new rules in the playoffs was a backwards way of doing it anyway. Put your practice rules in preseason like they did with the position of the umpire. You could even ask a couple of teams to artificially tie in preseason to see how it works out.
  2. Minor detail ... We haven't had Mario here 3 days. It has been less than 48 hours since free agency started. The media seems to focus on the 3 day total to make it sound like it was more desparate or sensationalistic.
  3. Can't expect anything more from Milbury ... When he was a player he beat a fan with his own shoe during a game ... He should been banned from all hockey involvement for life on that day
  4. ^this x1,000 Textbook example of lowering your head to use it as a weapon ... Just like drinking and driving, the wrong person usually gets hurt
  5. Except that too many men on the field is one of the very few reviewable penalties ...
  6. By strict interpretation, the LT is not on the line either ... That wouldn't ever get called
  7. I still think that Maybin 'Gary Anderson-ed' the Bills ... Gary just accomplished his feat much faster ...
  8. I have several files in my workshop that are made of metal (now an alloy of some sort, but used to be made of iron before alloys were discovered) that are designed to shave other metals (including iron). Also ... That phrase shouldn't be attributed to Tebow ... It's Proverbs 27:17
  9. Tashard Choice claimed off waivers to replace FredEx
  10. I've been actively calling for him to be cut since last week when he tried his trick on the kickoff, trying to step out of bounds to draw the penalty. Not only did he fail at that (a very simple task) he also lost us a challenge and a timeout by lobbying Gailey to throw the challenge flag. FJ ran the wildcat better than Smith last year...and actually has completed a TD pass out of the formation. Smith should simply be cut as an example.
  11. Not true, the slot receiver on the same side as Jones had a DB playing about 7 yards off. A quick throw nets a first down if he catches it
  12. The condemnation that Jesus had for the Pharisees was much deeper than the fact that they prayed in public. Public prayer was not the issue. It had to do with the fact that the Pharisees primarily practiced their religion when others were watching as a show (what some accuse the athletes of doing). If Jesus was against public displays of faith ... He would have done things very differently Himself. Most of His miracles are recorded as happening in a public setting. There are also recorded prayers of Jesus that were definitely public expressions.
  13. That may be what 'they' say, but it's a real stretch for someone as informed and intelligent as you (and I really mean that) to rely on a simple platitude as a basis for a debate. Every group has that one person (or subgroup) that makes the rest look bad. To group Tebow in with someone like the guy you referred to has nothing to do with his lack of ability to play football, nor any of the issues with which he has used his faith to stand up for. That's poor extrapolation.
  14. Well ... There's a safe statement to make ... If only one more person thinks like that, you have a fraction ... Way to pull an obscure story that only supports YOUR side.
  15. Actually, I wouldn't have a problem with it ... Why should I? So that your argument is supported? In our great country, the best I can hope for is the ability to practice my beliefs without restriction as long as it doesn't infringe on the personal rights of those around me. I would welcome that from any other religious person as well. You might want to put that fairly wide brush away ... BTW I am conservative (theologically), progressive (socially) and conservative (fiscally) ... And evangelical (that's a small 'e', not capital).
  16. The problem with your view is that to properly believe in Jesus for salvation (which you seem to 'give permission' to others to do) ... It includes not keeping one's faith to one's self. Someone has to risk stepping on the cultural toes of others ... As a believer, I'm happy to assume that risk.
  17. That is, if Marshall doesn't just run out of bounds after the catch for no apparent reason ...
  18. Watch the first time we ran the fake end around after Jackson's long TD run ... I would wager that Spiller would have taken it untouched the whole way if they faked it to Jackson and gave it to CJ ... it was wide open.
  19. I don't want any Bills in the pro bowl ... They would hate to be selected to play when they'll have to miss it in prep for the Super Bowl ...
  20. I believe that blocks in the back are legal within a certain distance of the line of scrimmage ... At least two of those blocks in the back occurred at the line. No excuse for missing the ones downfield though. Also there was a screen where their lineman were downfield engaged & blocking before the pass was thrown ...is that legal if the pass is caught behind the line? I'm not sure.
  21. Link I just thought that I'd throw this out there since so many are always talking about ratings and rankings. Basically it's a rating based on the quality of games that you have played not a reflection of who you might beat ... Very statistics driven, but nice to see the Bills getting some respect there. Hopefully it increases after today.
