  1. Tough luck...good for him that he signed a franchise tag, albeit for 1 year, this season. http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=7408 Poor B'gals - Andrews will be their 24th player put on IR, and after having to start 2 rookies in the OL for the past 5 games, they will have a former NO and CIN PS player at RT in the lineup @KC. With LT Levi Jones' chronic injuries and many missed games the past two years, and LG Andrew Whitworth gone for weeks with a high ankle sprain, I suspect most draftniks will pencil in CIN for an OL pick.
  2. Mmmm....that was a personal shot. Not so good.
  3. ..."It got so ugly fans mockingly chanted "Jo-ey! Jo-ey!" in the half-empty stadium in reference to New Orleans' third-string quarterback Joey Harrington, who was the first of many first-round busts Detroit drafted during an eight-season stretch (31-95) that is the NFL's worst since 1950. Since the Lions traded Harrington, their No. 3 pick in 2002, they are 10-36 and have won only one of their past 23 games. "Who would have believed that I was here in the heyday?" Harrington joked. "Things have changed. When I was here, the fans brought 'Fire Millen' signs, but still cheered for the team. Now, the ones that do show up bring 'Hire Millen' signs and that doesn't help. "No one deserves to go through this."."... http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/gamecenter/r...20081221_NO@DET
  4. :worthy: Best post of the day! Take tomorrow off from work - you deserve it!
  5. For me, on-line editions leave a lot to be desired. One - I find the ads, the dancing bits of "bling" to be a distraction. Two - often, I refer to different parts of an article. I find this easier with print media. Three - the on-line editions do not carry all the articles - be it National, State, or local, that the print edition does. Four - and most importantly to me, the on-line editions often presents a truncated, condensed version when compared to print. I also find printed material much more amenable to contemplating and digesting what I've read. With reductions in print media staff, there has been a reduction in local coverage of things that matter - government hanky-panky gets less ink, school boards and zoning boards meet with little or no exposure of their dealings to the general public and so forth. The elimination of the written word, replacing it with audio/visual has long been a favorite theme of authors who write about future societies - Fahrenheit 451 is one example. You might not like that 21st century. Even today, one could make a strong case how the internet, how audio/visual packaging of information has turned Presidential elections into something in the neighborhood of "American Idol".
  6. Go Bills! DEN wins the toss - no word on deferring yet.
  7. The announcers are probably drunk by now. Can't blame 'em...
  8. bump for the 4th interception..this one, LB Brandon Johnson off of CLE's Gradkowski.
  9. This happens all the time. The combinations of orange, black, dark brown and white that the Browns and B'gals wear, along with the orange helmets, virtually guarantees interceptions. It's not just Dorsey - qb's for either club, good or bad through the years, have thrown perfect strikes to the opposing db's. They should get together, and have CIN wear their goofy orange popsicle unis - helmet, jersey, pants all orange.
  10. For dev, who posts topics and then never adds a stitch of text - only a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UeypOvsY91Q
  11. Paul Brown. He's in good shape...he's been spinning in his grave since 1991 when his sonny boy took over the B'gals.
  12. Merry Christmas, my Friend.
  13. Oh well...it was an exciting season. As of Monday afternoon the University of Maryland says it's sold about 16 tickets to the game. The University of Nevada says it's sold 8 so far. http://ncaafootball.fanhouse.com/2008/12/1...-in-the-dozens/ BTW, for the bowl games, the value of unsold tickets is deducted from a team's appearance fee. Ouch.
  14. He still flies to the ball.
  15. Gee - they've recovered that many times over by selling your name and address to others
  16. 3) They are largely healthy, the Bills being well in the bottom third of players sent to IR through the season. That helps - it's a big, big problem for teams with a bunch of injuries...will the injured come back?, what positions should be drafted? I agree - nice job overall by the D.
  17. It's a 2005 deja-vu-all-over again, like the Jerome Bettis Victory Tour. PGH is this seasons' chosen darling, replacing NE*. Did you see that 1st down during the game, clearly short of the mark that the BAL coach challenged yet awarded to the Steelers?
  18. Seriously...are you thick? Barkley gets a pass because of the color of his skin. The default is that he can chirp racism, but never can be accused of racism. Please...haven't you figured that out?
  19. Look in the mirror and blame yourself about such nonsense...
