"I think, therefore I eat chicken wings, distill alcohol, seek out narcotics and stimulants, make devices to blow out my eardrums, favor cooking methods to load up my meat with PAHs, love nitrosoamines for lunch, pile up ice cream, carbonated sugar bombs, stare for hours at electromagnetic wave-emitting devices, for a start."

Well, if he gets the starts, he'll play at least two games against a club with cornerbacks playing 10 yards off the LOS and safties back there protecting the North 40. That should up the completions and aid in moving the sticks. Against that, they will miss Coles, and they have a RB who is currently wetting his diapers and slamming his rattle on his high chair.

Yes - probably worth a shot. The highest supp pick I recall in recent years was CIN taking a LB named Ahmad Brooks at a #3 price in 2006. He showed all that "potential" when he got on the field. Fast, hit hard and so on. CIN thought he was the real deal, but he suffered an early season '07 injury and a recurrence of attitude (which he came in with, hence supplemental draft in his case), so they tossed him into the trash heap. Too bad. When he played in limited spots in '06, you would watch him and say to yourself that this kid might be something really special. Old story, I guess...young fellow, pocket suddenly filled with serious jingle, add in adoration of athletes today...

You are far, far away from proper nutrition.

How silly... You might delve into the situation that there is this oddity - restriction of legal ownership did nothing to abate rising firearm violence. In fact, it increased. Thoughts?

How silly...

Supplemental draft update... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/story/11841794

I read in the morning n'paper that the perp used a .22. Recognizing the current popularity among criminals for a 9mm pistol, I'd hazard a guess that the .22 has killed more through history (other that in war) than any other cartridge. Not assault rifles, the favorite bogyman of the left. Funny - before 1968, when the federal gun control act was passed (often referred to as GCA68) firearms were much more available. I still own a Sears .410 bolt-action shotgun purchased through the mail. You could buy ammo at Mom 'n Pops and drugstores. Society has changed for the worse since the Left won the cultural war in the '60's.

The Bengals serve a useful purpose: ..."The bottom line here is that, like it or not, the Bengals' margin for error in this area is smaller than most teams. Many of their peers are comfortable pointing a finger at the Bengals and taking the heat away from themselves. Many critics are comfortable having a team to represent the character issue, a team to label as the one to watch in this regard. And the Bengals are the choice."... http://www.nfl.com/draft/story?id=09000d5d...mp;confirm=true

660,000 pounds, manufactured by Pilgrim's Pride Corp. The company internally discovered the problem, and stepped up to the plate, so to speak. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31219419/

$6.00 if you obtain a Jimmie Johnson mask and stomp on it.

The NFL is full of very decent men... http://www.bengals.com/news/article-1/pres...9d-835bc35ccc23

True. The basic family unit has been the mother and the children of whom she has been awarded custody, for many years now, rivaled by the unwed mother piling up the checks. The rate now hovers around 40% of all U.S. births. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/30725632/

He an older guy. He should marry her. The tax laws say so. Marry a younger one, put in the estate entail stuff (these days... called pre-nups) and keep your cash out of the hands of the politicos who want to turn that cash, after some skimming, over to society's bums in exchange for votes.

Bikes are not automobiles. Not motorcycles. They are far, far simpler devices. The principles of the operation of their mechanical assemblies are easily understandable. Armed with decent assembly instructions, and this or that specialized tool, I am sure that I could assemble and set up any bike save one of those specialized 10K+ race jobs. I use torque wrenches, I use anti-seize, I use thrust washers where appropriate, I can safety-wire fasteners, chase threads, apply the appropriate grade of thread locking compound, bed in moving assemblies, and so on. Time is money to a seller. I can take a week, a month, to assemble a bicycle. When I went to bars for many years, I always came across many a "pro" transportation mechanic raising a ruckus or bragging about how they were the best that ever lived or watching their skulls drop down to kiss the bar rail.

I'll add some comments. Europeans have used bicycles as a prime mode of transportation for so many years. In any terrain and conditions we could discuss. They've covered all the possible bases years ago, refined bikes for this or that usage. I look at their manufacturer's offerings, see a tremendous variety. Not a niche missed. I tip my hat to them. There is nothing that we here, or the Orientals, can teach them.

My child bride is 4'11", so I've had to factor that into my search. I shy away from those highly arced bars - preferring a flatter profile. The crouch-bar bikes aren't right for us - old backs and spines - a more upright stance is best. Worse with motorcycles - seems the choices are the back-breaking "Ninja" style with stub bars and set-back foot position and controls, or the laid-back "cruisers. The first is so specialized towards racing behavior, and the latter (IMO) reduces control and awareness. The old "standard" seating position, with straight spine, a shallow bend at the elbows, feet below the hip joints, is hard to find.

You have totally misinterpreted the kind of bike I seek for my wife. I hope that economic conditions are such that she will NEVER have to use it. If she does, it will simply be a cargo transport device that is superior to toting goods by foot. 3 speeds are fine, fenders keep the spray away, and a rack is a must - either OEM or as an added accessory. A coaster brake serves well. I am interested in a pack mule for pavement when autos can't get fuel - nothing else. One of those $139 chicom jobs would fit the bill. But I'm aware of their long history of recall due to niceties like frame and handlebar failures on the road. I won't purchase danger, leave her with potential danger. My wife is a pretty fair mechanic - I've taught her to be so through the years by involving her in this or that home and auto repair, but my preference is to leave her with something not dependent on caliper brake adjustment or fiddling with Derailleur gearset complexity.

Thanks. They look like real nice bikes, their euro 8i model is in the 1K price range. That 8i has f&r disc brakes, 8 speeds. Neat. Their Townie 3i looks to be in the $500 or less range, but without fenders and rear rack. The Biria Easy Boarding Comfort Bike EZ Top 3 also in that range, but has the fenders/rack.

When these big-contract squabbles arise, I like to remind people to think about the plight of the poor player when they shove that 4-dollar stadium hot dog past their lips for that first bite.

What was going through their minds when they named their kid...Craphonso? http://www.nfl.com/players/craphonsothorpe...le?id=THO807667

Splat.

Yes - the more speeds the better. But I am seeking reliable braking relatively unaffected by weather, or rim condition. This will be a low-miles device, not a daily rider. The disc brake option cost doesn't warrant such low usage. This bike is meant to be a (hopefully) infrequent means of transportation. I have come across coaster/roller brake models with 7 or 8 speeds, but they are of significantly high cost.
