I usually feel the same way, but the lone exception is the film Adaptation. Cage plays both Charlie Kaufman (the movie's actual screenwriter) and Kaufman's fictional twin brother. It really is a great performance. He is crap in most of his other stuff, though.

Close, but no cigar. Or should I say "close, but no pickle juice."

Bad move for the Jets, I think. With their cap situation, they're going to have to cut so many players that they'll need all the picks they can get to restock on the cheap. And as has been mentioned, they're already all-but-guaranteed one of the top three QBs if they want one.

I'm neither defending nor denouncing the argument presented the original poster. I simply restated it for billsoverdue, who seemed to understand its basic concepts.

Who cares who's a "star" anyway? Players can be very good and lead their teams to great successes without being "stars." I think the original poster's point was that the Pats drafted along the lines, and as a result, won three of four Super Bowls with the help of the top-shelf linemen they drafted. Whether or not the lineman they drafted became media darlings is irrelevant.

So much for reading comprehension.

Klemm was a 2nd round pick, for what it's worth. Of course, we didn't have a 1st that year (gave it to the Jets for Belichick), so Klemm was the team's first pick.

Thanks!

I just discovered MF Doom through his contribution on Gorillaz' Demon Days and his collaboration with Danger Mouse. I haven't had a chance to check out his older stuff, though. If I like DangerDoom, will I like MF Doom's solo stuff just as good?

ESCHEWING PUNCTUATION FOR CAPITALIZATION AS A MEANS OF INDICATING ABBREVIATION DOESN'T WORK WHEN YOU TYPE IN ALL CAPS GET IT NOW?

The "ing" is "came." "thought-came" = "f*ck-ing" The "th" sound in "thought" is what makes it sound like an "F" sound. An "L" sound in "looking" would not be mistakable for an F bomb.

Seattle tackled just fine. The problem was that they got penalized 15 yards for a tackle.

I've listened many times. The quote is unequivocally correct as I printed it.

That's not an F bomb. The quote is "Ben Roethlisberger, I thought, came very close to going across the line of scrimmage."

Yep. What a joke of a Super Bowl. I feel pretty bad for Seahawk fans right now.

Just make sure you start watching in time to hear Stuart Scott host a 12-part special on why LeBron James is straight-up off the hook.

Nope, but I feel like I am sometimes as well. Must because they're way up there in the northwest, but nobody is giving Seattle near enough credit.

How ironic that this thread's title, a question, contains no punctuation.

Isn't it usually March 1st? Don't take that as gospel, though.

I think that, regardless of the past, it is ALWAYS wrong to allow skin color to affect any aspect of the hiring process, in any field. That such practices are now sanctioned by the league doesn't make them any less abhorrent.

You know how many were "being considered?" How, pray tell, did you come across this information? Do you have the ability to read the minds of NFL team owners and executives?

You said in an earlier post that it's impossible to tell the size of the pool of qualified African-American HC candidates. How, then, can the number of African-American HC hirings have "lagged far behind" a numeric entity that has no known value?

Exactly.

As of 2002, African-Americans made up roughly 13% of the U.S. population. Today, African-Americans make up roughly 19% of NFL head coaches. Enough said. These quotas are both unnecessary and racist in their very nature.

You win. 41 and 20 are the same numbers, and can be swapped interchangeably in any statistical analysis. Marc Bulger's three pass attempts over 41+ yards in '04 were inexplicably more than Donovan McNabb's 25 pass attempts over 41+ yards in '04. Daunte Culpepper routinely attempts 80 to 96 passes travelling 41+ yards through the air per season, even though his career high in a season is 22 such pass attempts, and he's averaged only 12.3 such pass attempts per season over his career. You win. We live in the bizarro world now. Every absurd claim you've ever made is now - however indescribable it may seem - true. Are you happy now?
