We'll keep this one around for others to contribute, if they want.

Give me a RB, FB and 9 OL, we'd direct snap each play.

A minor league baseball team tried it this year...it was an unmitigated disaster. The players & coaches hated it. Good luck trying to attract free agents.

I smell another stats thread coming!

A Perreault would be pretty cool. Drury just b/c he's my fav player on the team. No other reason. Yep. Do you like the home jersey or the logo? Difference there.

Story?

You have that system now, especially in public schools. Take a look at the property taxes in the areas with nationally recognized public school systems (see Great Neck, NY, as an example) and home prices in those same areas. Add into that its almost impossible to find a legal rental apartment in the area and what do you have. The voucher system is the way to level the playing field a bit. You can't compare elite private schools, they will always be about who can afford to attend versus who should attend based on aptitude (with some notable exceptions, such as Regis). Anyway, they are private schools for a reason. I was more talking about more efficient and better public schools.

Yes, and God, to them, sends his message thru folks like Falwell and Robertson. Hence, the support by Robertson is crucial.

If I had to do a current one (no sluggo, ever), it would probably be Drury. I think both Drury and Briere will be back next year, both on new deals.

I actually have two old jerseys. One LaFontaine white home and one road blue with #7 Tucker on the back.

But they fear the possibility of a Hillary election. They know Giuliani is the best NATIONAL candidate. Combining that fear with the the national security question (Ask yourself, who would you want leading you through a time of crisis?) and Rudy is far ahead of anyone save McCain. So, the primary voters get a McCain/Rudy choice. I don't think they like McCain down south. Pat Robertson despises him, yet respects Giuliani immensely. Even called him a "friend." Falwell has not come out one way or another yet. We're going to find out, but a strong Hillary is the best thing for a Rudy candidacy.

Good point, I agree completely.

All three have looked much better since the bye. Are we doing anything different? Have they just figured out the scheme? Are they reacting more and thinking less, because they better understand what is expected of them? The same things can be said of Nate & McGee. Maybe it just took a little while for them to become comfortable in the Cover 2 scheme. If so, thats a great thing and we should expect more very good performances from the D in the future. As for Spikes, true he is nowhere near the explosive playmaker that he was. The injury does take a lot of time to come back from, well over a year. I think you will truly see what he has left next season.

?? From Texas. Rumor is he'll be #1 overall to Arizona.

U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday

Tell that to Jonathon Ogden, Walter Jones and Orlando Pace. And I'm not even sure Quinn is the best QB in the draft, that might just be Brohm from Louisville.

Except he had a wonderful ability to connect to the average joe and jane and make them feel important.

Actually, he's not anti-gun. Rudy is the most libertarian candidate out there...smaller gov't, lower taxes, won't legislate how you live social policies. That will play very well out West and with independants and moderates. He may even be able to take NYS in a national election, something not done since Reagan 84. The trick will be getting him thru the Christian coalition in the Southern primaries. The best thing that can happen is that Hillary remains strong. If Hillary remains strong, he may have a real shot. The Christian coalition is no fan of McCain and they respect Rudy as an individual. They just don't agree with all his policies. If Hillary remains strong, I can see a situation where they vote for Rudy just to defeat Hillary. C'mon you think Bill Frist has a shot at beating Hillary? The chances would be 50/50. And there is nothing the Christian coalition wants less than to see the Clintons back in the White house.

And here's another one... http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20061113/ap_on_el_pr/giuliani2008 Ladies and gentleman...the 43rd POTUS! Rudy's sites... http://www.solutionsamerica.com/ http://www.draftrudygiuliani.com/index.php

Thats really a great point. But I guess the results truely boil down to Super Bowls. NE has 3, Polian 0 (with Buf, Car, Indy). This is despite Polian having some of the best talent in the league for a long period of time. Our Bills SB teams could have as many as eight (8) HOFers. Yet, we were always a Ted Washington short on D.

BoondckCL, I'm feeling your taste in music, all great songs you've thrown out there. But, you mean "A Pirate Looks at Forty," thats the song's name. For my next song... Deep Purple "Smoke on the Water"

Was that before or after the keg stands and belly shots?

Imagine John Lennon Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today... Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will be as one Imagine no possessions I wonder if you can No need for greed or hunger A brotherhood of man Imagine all the people Sharing all the world... You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you'll join us And the world will live as one

Obama is well spoken the same way Mario Cuomo is well spoken. Obama is one of the few folks alive, I'd pay to watch a speech live.

Nice
