Now I know you're messing with me. Tripping over a prone defensive lineman has never ended anyone's career.

A guy behind him blocked him to the ground. You're delusional.

I had forgotten about that bit. But whatever the case, there is no way any rational person can claim that the Wilfork roughing penalty was anything but a travesty.

No. That's not what happened at all. No. I am not.

Homerism is an ugly thing. Wilfork was blocked in the back into the vicinity of Harrington's leg, and then Harrington tripped over him with no movement whatsoever from Wilfork. But as said, it makes little difference. The Pats would have lost that game even without the poor officiating.

Copied and pasted from the other, equally-as-ill-informed thread: Per Randy Cross, an illegal forward pass only results in a loss of down if its past the LOS.

True. But what is your opinion of the two BS roughing penalties from which the Dolphins benefited? Or does that information get in the way of your asinine rant?

Per Randy Cross, an illegal forward pass only results in a loss of down if its past the LOS. If you want to complain about the "stinkin' refs," complain about them calling roughing the passer after Harrington tripped over a Patriots' DL who was lying on the field. In any event, the Patriots played like such crap today that they wouldn't have won even if the refs gave them unlimited downs.

Yeah, the Jon Lovitz era had some funny moments, but was mostly . NewsRadio with Hartman, though, was (in my opinion) one of the top sitcoms ever. Just an awesome ensemble cast who worked great together.

No, it couldn't. Every AFC team plays every other AFC team once EVERY THREE YEARS. Here's how it works: 2002: AFC East plays AFC West 2003: AFC East plays AFC South 2004: AFC East plays AFC North 2005: AFC East plays AFC West Thus, in any given three year span, an AFC team will have played its own division opponents six times each and every other AFC team at least once (or more in the case of some teams, depending on how the standings shake out). An AFC team will play every NFC team ONCE every FOUR years, without fail. Yeah.

I'm not sure what you're saying. Currently, any given AFC team faces every other AFC team at least once every three years.

That's pretty much how things work now, only instead of playing an additional interconference division, teams play one team from each of the two other divisions within the conference. In 2006, for example: AFCE plays NFCN (4 games), H&A AFCE rivals (6 games), AFCS (4 Games), corresponding AFCN team (1 game), corresponding AFCW team (1 game).

He was hilarious on NewsRadio.

10.4.8 and Safari 2.0.4. Just checked, it's much snappier in Firefox. Hmm...

Wow, you're right. I hadn't noticed that. I was going to switch to AOL, but the "click on a program to see its description" action brings up the dreaded "spinning beach ball" in OS X for me (only for a moment, but it's still annoying), so that looks like a deal-breaker. Why, Yahoo!, why?!

Yeah, I switched to Zap2it. I just checked AOL's upon your mentioning it, though and it looks like a good option as well. Why the hell did Yahoo! change theirs?!

Are you guys beginning to understand the meaning behind my name now? Most. Over-publicized. GM. Ever.

Nah, it was well before that (I stopped watching the new episodes after the awful episode where Meg gets a makeover). The South Park episode was good, but it didn't really sum me up. The South Park position was that the Family Guy formula is inherently unfunny. I don't believe that. I just think that what they've done with it recently hasn't been funny.

I think it's tainted for me now. The new episodes have made me so aware of the blatant flaws in the Family Guy formula that I don't even look at the season 1-3 episodes the same way anymore.

I don't know which ones are which anymore, since I stopped watching them new and only see them on Adult Swim. All I know is that every time an episode is on that I don't recognize as being from season 3 or earlier, I end up groaning far more often than I laugh.

I've no scientific numbers regarding this, but the proportion of the show that's "flashbacks" seems to have gone WAY up, since it came back. Also, the "really, really, really, really, really, really long joke with minimal payoff" frequency has increased as well. Recurring characters (greased-up deaf guy, Vaudeville guys) are overused and awkwardly shoehorned into the proceedings. The pop culture jokes have gone away from esoteric nostalgia and towards dated jokes about celebrities. It's just got every indication of bad, lazy writing. And it is PAINFULLY unfunny. Well, that's upsetting to know. People, evidently, are getting dumber.

God the new Family Guy episodes suck. It was a solid show before cancelation. Since it came back, it's been embarrassingly bad.

you should really use proper punctuation and capitalization when you type. further you should not bunch everything into one big paragraph you should break it up into lots of little smaller paragraphs. then it would be easier to read. you may not think of these things when you type your thoughts but you should consider the people who are going to read your post. typing it the way you do makes it really hard to read. people could hurt their eyes trying to read your posts. do you want that? do you want to be responsible for someone having hurt eyes? or maybe people just might read your post at all because its typed so poorly. did you even consider that? you spent so much time typing out a big long post and it just goes to wast because no ones going to read it because you didnt take the time to type it in a fashion so that that its readable. you just wasted a whole bunch of time. and you know thats tie you will never get back. someday youll be on your deathbed and someone will ask if you have any regrets and youll have to say that you regret that one time when you wasted a bunch of time typing a message on a message board that no one even read because you didn't bother to type it right. youll say that you wish you could get that time back to do something worthwhile but you wont be able to because that time is gone now. its over and done with and you cant get it back. ah! but there is something you can do in the future. you can make a pledge to start typing properly form this day forward. it may be tough at first. finding that return key to separate paragraphs from one another is a real doozy. and figuring out how to hold down shift when typing a letter so that it becomes a capital letter has taken even the smartest people on earth years to master. but just think about the positives that will come from it. people will actually bother to read the crap that you think up in your noggin! well actually maybe they still wont but you get the idea. anyway the real good that will come of it is that you wont have to live with unending regret that you wasted a bunch of time writing grammatically improper crap that no one will ever read anymore.

Just did a search...you're right! My view of the situation has now changed. Johnny Five's Fathead order no doubt order consisted of one of these, one of these (With the "1" crossed out and a "2" added), and he surely hung them up on the same wall as his life-sized poster of the Ally Sheedy look-alike.
