The grocery marts in this area - SW Ohio - have noticed the times, and have greatly expanded their prepared, take-it-home offerings. Kroger - this is their headquarters - have modified several stores to this end. Their competitors here are following suit. The idea being - if you don't cook at home, buy here, Don't pay the high restaurant prices.

Really...the CFL field dimensions, those wide, wide hash marks....

Yep. Also considering the wipe-out of their running back corps...

I believe he tied his own record.

What did you think of the contest? That Sun reporter wrote like he was suffering from Argo Angst, IMO.

I watched the game. on VERSUS (via TSN feed), which recently showed up on my TW cable. It's been years since I've seen CFL ball - old Ti-Cat fan here. Excellent, entertaining game, despite this Toronto Star wags' opinion... http://www.thestar.com/Sports/Football/article/542273 Idiot. CFL ball, it's field, its' rules are different that NFL, but it's great to view. Anyone that thinks that the players aren't talented, competitive athletes playing a fine brand of football would be in error. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianp...GQHjO2r9CgSXgJg Aside: The fans at Olympic Stadium were a sight to see themselves - great costumes and enthusiasm. I'll add that the sideline sports newsbunny was stunning!

I wouldn't call Reid a moron...PHI has been competitive for several years. Benching an ineffective QB is what should happen. I don't worry about damage to their egos - earning millions of dollars soothe most folks. I think... True, they got blasted by BAL...but PHI does have a formidable defense - and even the best ones look like crap when facing an onslaught of turnovers. Looks like the end of the line for McNabb. He's a class act; played for many years and got hit hard countless times.

They must be pleased, these days. Economy depressed, the manufacture of consumer goods on a downturn, Feds, States, municipalites reeling because of lessened gasoline tax receipts, people out of work, high home heat costs on the horizon this winter, and so on.

Perhaps. But he's been with the NE* club 4 years. I give him credit for learning, paying attention to their offense style during his bench time. We know his story...sitting at USC behind Palmer then Leinart...

Filled up my cosmetically-flawed '98 S-10 for $1.61 in SW Ohio this AM. Added a bottle of isopropanol tank/gas line water drier, too. (Never add the 50-cent cheaper methanol drier, folks...MeOH can damage fuel system seals, especially on older models).

Your move.

Long before? Nice "ducking for cover" topic after your one of praise for McNabb before he laid the egg against CIN. Have you considered entering politics, RL?

Reed: 1 int, 108 yd., TD. Tied his already-owned NFL record. 1 int, 43 yd. 2 tackles 4 PDs McKelvin: 1 int 64 yd., TD 1 int, 0 yd. 2 tackles 2 PDs Great performance by McKelvin, but advantage Reed...

Quite a game. That hit on Pitt QB Stull was a doozy - reminded me of Hines Ward's one on Keith Rivers. Some reporter on the Cincy Enquirer on Sat. opined that UC might have 6 or more players drafted this coming April. Connor Barwin's xfer from TE to DE...who knew?

bump.

Perhaps his post-traumatic stress syndrome has cleared up?

Bad juju. Bad for your player's health...

Must be one of those post -concussion things folks were yammering on about last week.

Montreal vs. Calgary. http://www.cfl.ca/article/grey-cup-to-air-...rsus-in-the-u-s

I guess she was just...misunderstood. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081120/ap_on_...plumber_records

Yet another of your ilk's well-known attack side step deflections hoping that nobody notices the diversion...

MLBs on every team rack up large tackle numbers, if they are in for enough snaps. That's their job - they stop what leaks by the DL or missed by OLBs...most always a few yards downfield. The better ones become very decent pass defenders covering a lot of the field. Players like Ray Lewis, Brian Urlacher, Butkus, Huff, Lanier, Bergey, Nitchke, Curtis, etc. are rarities. Fletcher is a h*ll of a good player IMO.

I recall merchants taking a pencil and adding up one's purchases on the paper bag that they were put in. All cash. You put your payment on the counter; your change was also put on the counter, so you could inspect it. That was still the norm in Europe, last time I was there (1988....cash on the counter, not the scribbling on kraft paper). Charge cards used to be called charge plates. They were made of aluminum, of the same dimensions as today's cards. They were issued to customers of the old-line department stores, as a matter of convenience. There were no carrying charges, because they were not credit accounts. When the bill arrived, the bill was paid in full. Few folks would get themselves in debt if they could avoid it then. You would incur interest for furniture, a vehicle, a house, large repair bills, but that was pretty much it. How things have changed. In Buffalo, shopping downtown used to be THE thing. You would usually take the bus (car ownership was less, plus why bother hunting for parking?). You would transact, and your goods were delivered. Some might recall the brown delivery trucks of the Downtown Merchant's Association. Some might recall the ads in the Buffalo Evening News and the Courier-Express, the illustrations of goods for sale by graphic artists. Those were jobs. The graphic drawings, the deliveries, etc. employed folks. People wring their hands about this or that Administration. The march of technology has cut more livelihoods than any governmental regime could ever do. Of course, their appetite for taxation stuck in the final knife...

Steely Dan reels in the years because he certainly never reels in a date.
