  1. "Rambo, Blade, and those types are good enjoyable movies, but the production, and actoring was poor at best." WHAT? The acting was poor? Teasle: He was just another drifter who broke the law! Trautman: Vagrancy wasn't it? That's gonna look real good on his grave stone in Arlington: Here lies John Rambo, winner of the Congressional Medal of Honor, survivor of countless incursions behind enemy lines. Killed for vagrancy in Jerkwater, USA. Teasle: Now don't give me any of that crap Trautman. Do you think Rambo was the only guy who had a tough time in Vietnam? He killed a police officer for Christ's sake! Trautman: You're goddamn lucky he didn't kill all of you. And the Oscar goes to....
  2. Yes, make the trade... Portis benefitted from the Denver running scheme but is having problems in Washington. Peter King predicted McGahee would lead the league in rushing. Plus, you have a Bill to root for!
  3. "Weekend at Bernie's II" After reading the book, I figured the movie wouldn't come close.

  5. "There....are.....FOUR.....lights...!" Picard in a landslide.
  6. Well you could get a baseball for each kid and have everyone autograph each one. Kids love signing autographs. Also, get a nice team picture and give one to every kid's mom.

  8. You nailed it! Thanks!
  9. I am looking for the name of a song in the 80's that sounds like Squeeze or Paul Carrack singing. The main focus of the song is about a rainbow or rainbows... it mentions a few colors like red, orange... it was a pop tune played on the radio. If anyone can remember based on my vague description, thanks a lot!
  10. Article Spectators cheered as entire Cambodian Midget Fighting League squared off against African Lion Tickets had been sold-out three weeks before the much anticipated fight, which took place in the city of Kâmpóng Chhnãng. The fight was slated when an angry fan contested Yang Sihamoni, President of the CMFL, claiming that one lion could defeat his entire league of 42 fighters. Sihamoni takes great pride in the league he helped create, as was conveyed in his recent advertising campaign for the CMFL that stated his midgets will "... take on anything; man, beast, or machine." This campaign is believed to be what sparked the undisclosed fan to challenge the entire league to fight a lion; a challenge that Sihamoni readily accepted. An African Lion (Panthera Leo) was shipped to centrally located Kâmpóng Chhnãng especially for the event, which took place last Saturday, April 30, 2005 in the city’s coliseum. The Cambodian Government allowed the fight to take place, under the condition that they receive a 50% commission on each ticket sold, and that no cameras would be allowed in the arena. The fight was called in only 12 minutes, after which 28 fighters were declared dead, while the other 14 suffered severe injuries including broken bones and lost limbs, rendering them unable to fight back. Sihamoni was quoted before the fight stating that he felt since his fighters out-numbered the lion 42 to 1, that they “… could out-wit and out-muscle [it].” Unfortunately, he was wrong.

  12. Yeah, on the 20/20 show, the head producer said there is a logical explanation to all that has happened and that they are not dead or in purgatory or in a dream or anything like that. The Iraqi guy has a British accent which threw me for a loop. The guy who died (who has the hot sister) seemed like an ass when they interviewed him, but he was probably bitter they cut him. They had to get the cast in one week, so they just picked people they liked in other stuff. Duey (the large one) was on a Curb Your Enthusiasm episode and they said "let's get THAT guy"- he was the first one cast. They saw the black dad in a play so they grabbed him. The guy who plays Sawyer just got his real estate license and was ready to quit acting all together when he got the call.
  13. When I was little, our family would go out to eat dinner every Friday. Well, my mom always wanted to go to Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips, which I hated. In order to get me to eat the fish, my dad told me they had pheasant (which I liked - my dad was a hunter). I thought "cool, I'll eat pheasant". So I did (in my mind anyway). FLASH FORWARD: I go to Potsdam to attend college. I see they have an Arthur Treacher's Fish and Chips (which have been closed in the Rochester area for many years now). I walk in, go to the counter, and promptly order pheasant. When the cashier said they didn't serve pheasant and never did, everything clicked. DUH! My friends never let me forget that one.

  15. Not offering any major insights here: I love reading the JP Losman articles. He is truly OUR QB, drafted by us as a rookie. Flutie, Johnson, Bledsoe, all came to us with a professional football past. Even Jim Kelly played elsewhere as a pro (USFL). JP is willing to share with the media and thus to us, all of the growing pains and things he learned or is still learning. I like the fact that he is honest about what he does well and not so well so far. He makes us feel like we have a front row seat to watch his growing process and isn't afraid to sound like an excited kid. He seems so proud he learned the playbook and isn't afraid to say he had some rust when he overthrew a pass by 20 yards. So, keep it up JP. Don't become "polished" with the media (especially like Drew was). Your personality is infectious. Continue to be yourself. It is a joy to keep track of your progress and read your quotes in the paper. Now I know talk is cheap, yada yada yada, only results matter... and ultimately that's correct. But, if he can move this offense and stay the same excited kid, he has a chance to be something special for the NFL, and something extra special for the City of Buffalo and western NY. I can't wait to watch this guy play.
  16. Life size poster Only problem is the poster is 6 and a half feet tall!
  17. I always thought centers weren't supposed to be tall. Preston is 6'5, isn't he?

  19. That ESPN commercial with the little girl doing her project on middle relievers is on every 5 minutes, yet I think it's still funny every time I watch it. I know a guy who had 3 daughters, no sons, and one of the girls is the "sports" kid and can rattle off stats. Good commercial.

  21. From USA Today: Overview: Parrish was regarded as a home run threat every time he touched the ball at Miami. He has a rare combination of breakaway speed, a quick burst, an impressive change of pace and good catching ability. Parrish can elude tacklers in the open field or in traffic, and has a knack for making tacklers miss. He has been called by Hurricanes head coach Larry Coker as "the most exciting player I've ever coached." Rated the tenth-best prospect in the state of Florida at Miami Senior High in 2000, Parrish led the team to the District title and the third round of the Class 6A Playoffs, despite compiling a 7-6 record his senior year. He was perhaps the most explosive running and passing quarterback in Florida during the 2000 season, passing for 2,201 yards and rushing for 613 yards to earn first-team Class 6A honors. During his junior season of 1999, he passed for 1,400 yards and 10 touchdowns with just five interceptions while completing 78 of 136 passes. He also rushed 60 times for 600 yards and six touchdowns and had ten tackles during the 1999 season. Parrish redshirted at Miami in 2001 and took over punt return duties the following year. He gained 336 yards on 25 returns (13.4 avg) and started two games on offense, catching 14 passes for 270 yards and a touchdown. He bruised his lungs in a violent collision during the second quarter of the 2003 Florida State game and was forced to sit out the Temple and Syracuse contests as a result. He finished the 2003 season with 24 catches for 322 yards (13.4 avg) and two touchdowns. Parrish also totaled 240 yards with a score on 23 punt returns (10.4 avg). The 2004 season saw Parrish become the offense's primary target. He started eight games and caught a career-high 43 passes for 693 yards (16.1 avg) and eight touchdowns. His eight scoring grabs rank eighth on the school's single-season record list. He also gained 324 yards on 20 punt returns (16.2 avg) with two touchdowns and carried eight times for 52 yards (6.5 avg). Parrish closed out his career with 81 receptions for 1,285 yards (15.9 avg) and eleven touchdowns in 35 games. His eleven scoring grabs are tied for tenth on Miami's all-time record list. He returned 68 punts for 900 yards (13.2 avg) and three scores. Only Santana Moss (six, 1997-2000) returned more punts for touchdowns in school history. His 900 yards rank fourth on the Hurricanes' career record list behind Kevin Williams (939, 1990-92), Eddie Dunn (1153, 1936-38) and Moss (1196). Parrish also carried 18 times for 178 yards (9.9 avg) and a touchdown. Analysis: Positives...Has outstanding agility, balance, flexibility and acceleration...Smooth off the line, with the sudden moves needed to get vertically up field... Shows quickness running routes and the ability to separate in the open...Quick to see and adjust to the secondary coverage...Utilizes his sudden explosion to avoid the jam at the line of scrimmage...Able to make defenders miss as he accelerates past them...Has a good feel for the sticks and works back to the ball efficiently...Has the second gear to quickly uncover and separate... Has soft hands, elusiveness and good hip wiggle on punt returns, showing the shake and burst to gain yardage after securing the ball...His flexibility allows him to easily turn and adjust to off target throws...Once he gets into the open, the foot race with the defender is quickly over. Negatives...Has a small frame with no room for growth...Struggles to get into his routes when facing physical press coverage and needs to use his initial explosion to break free... Needs to refine his route running, as he is not precise or clean in his release...Tends to body catch, resulting in dropped passes...Has the leaping ability to compete for the ball in the air, but lacks the size and strength to beat the more physical defenders...Will give an effort, but does not have the bulk or size to be effective as a blocker...It is not like he gets scared in traffic, but he tends to short arm going for the ball in a crowd. Agility tests: 4.43 in the 40-yard dash...2.6 20-yard dash...1.58 10-yard dash...29 -inch arm length... 8 5/8-inch hands...
  22. Very nice job here....thank you
  23. My least favorite catch phrase is "poor man's" as in David Pollock is a poor man's Dwight Freeney.
