PG, I just don't understand your long-time contention that a rookie MLB can't have the smarts to play the position. These days, the pro game is chock full of coaches that make a gazillion decisions and issue orders during a game. Players aren't on an island. Unfortunately there are many (most) Offensive coordinators that lift their leg on a decent run game and decide that passing is the way to go, d*mn the consequences. And defensive coordinators that chronically ignore what's worked most of the game, then panic and play prevent in the waning moments, result often being the opponent marching downfield with short gains to kick a winning FG. See NE's SB wins. Collegian LBs have played the game for some time...they do recognize things. They have instincts. And there is help..vets on the DL, other LB's, DBs. The rookie MLB isn't out there by his lonesome. No doubt experience helps, knowing a tram's tendencies, their players over time. But the offense owns the snap. Even the most astute defensive playcaller is in trouble when an offense shifts things about 5 seconds or so before the snap. And if he starts shouting out changes then, good luck. If my rookie MLB shows better athletic skills than whatever else I have at that position, I'm going to work hard to get him in the starting lineup.

And free Valtrex, if ever needed.

Centers, and MLB's, too.

Lackawanna.

And probably half of the folks attending an NFL game could be arrested, what with the pogrom against most any alcohol consumption, the low BAC limits that exist everywhere...

Janikowski is a place kicker. Perhaps you are thinking of Ray Guy...a remarkable player. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_Guy

Yes, it is in IMO. It seems a decent draft for stocking up DE talent, Matt. There are several "tweeners" out there too, a catagory with a renewed popularity with teams. Day 2 may get some gems that show well in a few seasons.

I wanted to evoke a raging reply, and you offered me a dougnut? Sheese...we need a headslap smilie...

Your penance: You have to watch two and three line passes resulting in goals. Like I saw on Sunday. You have to watch a high stick that poked nobody result in a penalty. You have to watch folks milling about the crease with nary a goalie stick whack, or a heavens-to-betsy shove by a defender clearing out an opposing player. Forecheck, backcheck...what's that? Politically correct hockey, cash register hockey...the Jim Schoenfelds, the Gordie Howes, the Gump Worselys, must be embarrassed..

I'd say 3 years, before hospice...

PG...what is your level of confidence in McGee at cornerback, who in IMO is a safety? That the NFL promotes and changes rules to promote the pass game is established. I believe that if CB talent presents itself in the draft, you must take it these days. Surely, they have become pricey in the market. One must assume there is reason for that, regardless of scheme.

I recorded 4 of them, and viewed them. I'm not being quick. Nature productions have been part and parcel of programming for decades and decades...and decades. Old hat... Attenbourough is an old hand at such... http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/programmes/who...enborough.shtml

Another iteration of many shows, through the years. Been there, seen it. I'm guessing the makers figured they can make an advertising revenue bonanza what with today's global warming propaganda that people and politicos and grant-seeking scientists looking for loot and/or election foist hither and yon (still waiting for Gore et al to tell me why long before the industrial society, today's icy Greenland was named such because it was green then in Viking times, or why planets Jupiter and Mars are also currently warming...uh?...could it be solar activity? ). I've little doubt that after it has it's commercial, profit-garnering run, the series will be utilized to indoctrinate that captive audience....school children.

No. 1) Busted collarbone. 2) Picking a flash-name RB at #12 - and such a pick fills the stands - makes me think of an old saying... "polishing the pig"...prepping something for sale. 3) If Hall drops to #12, I would take him. Cover 2 doesn't make up for lack of speed or talent. And the opposition knows how to attack it and get you out of it. The offense owns the snap. The NFL has a noted bias for the pass game. 4) When I read player profiles, I'm not pleased when I read "a good player for C2" or some such. Zone pass defense works, but I prefer the defensive player who has mano-on-mano skills.

I hope they are. I'm not a fan of either.

Oregon State's Joe Newton is worth a good look... http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/newton_joe

I think that if you lived in Cincinnati from 1990 to 2001, or anywhere in Arizona in the same time span or more, you would learn that resistance is futile.

Turkey (it went into the oven at 11:00AM), Bob Evans' mashed potatoes, shredded green beans, asparagus tips, corn, biscuits, gravy, some chunks of cheap 2% cheddar, and Stouffer's microwave cinnamoned Harvest Apples. Never had those apples before...they cost a buck.

Eat at Joe's?

Well, sometimes... http://resnet.osu.edu/article.asp?id=8

Do you think he ...dare I say it?...steals copyrighted music off of the internet?

The words, concerns, of good posters and of good men like you are never forgotten, Rubes. Happy to hear that the fountain flows well.

Yes...the fountain. When we last spoke of it in the TBD consumer section, you were in the Garden of Gethsemane re: do the wiring yourself or paying an electrician? I recommended the latter because given your statements about house current electric wiring skill, I was concerned about an electrocuted Rubes. Remember?
