  1. They have Wegmans in Virginia???? Why, oh, why no Wegmans in NYC??? They would own this city.
  2. Jon Jansen is a tackle. He rarely runs. Bad comparison. I think (*hope*) he will come back and be the player he was. Its a very difficult injury to come back from, especially for an outside linebacker. The quick cuts, lateral movement, back and forth speed etc. that the position requires makes it even more difficult. I'm not a doctor, and unlike LA I don't play one online, but I'm concerned that he will be even close to the same player. He was the best OLB in football when he went down. Thats a tough standard to live up to.
  3. My understanding of this is that it started way back during the Reagan years. The prices of oil and gas were low and the companies did not have the extra profits to exploration and building of new fields and rigs. The incentive was to promote reducing our dependency on foreign oil by finding new domestic sources. The companies were allowed an offset (royalties) as long as the profits were used for exploration and building new facilities. Some of those facilities are just now coming on line. Sadly, refineries were not included in the bill.
  4. Lucky bastard!! Sunny, 85 degrees and bikinis....tough life.
  5. Steve Walsh was the QB I remember being picked in the supplemental draft. Funny, because Dallas took Aikman #1 in the regular draft, then took Walsh in the supplemental, with their #1, thereby leading to Dallas not having a #1 in the 1990 draft. I guess they figured they would play the odds on QB until they found one. Here's a good article on the supplemental draft... http://www.nfl.com/news/story/6452668
  6. Congrats Nick. Enjoy your sleep now. Take this from someone who has a 3 month old.
  7. No question, the perfect vehicle. Great in the snow, convertible in the summer, goes anywhere.
  8. U2...overrated??? I think they're the best act going right now. Best concert and best music. If anything, I think the band is underrated.
  9. I wonder if we could get Staois for Mika, or would we have to give up Marty? After all the Oilers trades Staois may be the odd man out. As for the East, we matchup very well against the slower Rangers or Flyers, who we should meet in the 1st round. Tampa, Montreal, Toronto or Boston don't really scare me. Ottawa will be tough, same with NJ. Carolina is a bit weak in net, but strong elsewhere. I think this team could make the conference finals. Winning the Cup will be tough this year. The good news is that we will be very good for a long time with a bunch of young players.
  10. 23" in Brooklyn. I live right next to a park, Owl's Head Park for those who know the area. So I go to get my Jeep out of the parking space after the plows go past all nite. Nice waist-high snow pack next to my sturdy Jeep. Do I shovel...no. Get in the Jeep, start her up, engage 4wd, 1st gear and she sliced through the bank like a hot knife through butter. So now being that I live next to a park that has some great hills for sledding, I decide lets have some fun. Late last nite, park is lit up by the lights, only a few folks around....yep, drove my Jeep thru the park. The wrangler was rockin through the snow, eating it alive. Up one hill, down another, snow flying in every direction...man that was a lot of fun!! I had just pulled out of the park, onto my street, parking my Jeep, when NYPD drives by. They see my Jeep, the tire tracks behind me in the park, I smiled and shrugged...the cops just keep on driving. Fun storm.
  11. Sorry USMC, I tried to add an attachment but I think JSP is the only one who has the power!! Either that or I have no idea how to do it.
  12. Here's 8 pages of pics http://www.celebritypicturesarchive.com/pg...ra-pictures.htm
  13. As Jimmy Griffin said when a Courier Express reporter questioned him about the hiring of his family and friends for key administrative posts "Who'd you expect me to hire....my enemies?"
  14. Fantastic post and I agree with every word. The question could end up being Ngata or Mario Williams, however. Then you really have a dilemma.
  15. Actually U Miami QBs would have been the best example. Since Testeverde they have all flopped in the pros. Steve Walsh, Craig Erickson, Gino Toretta, Ken Dorsey were all great college QBs, but none did squat in the pros. Walsh and Erickson were actually supposed to be good.
  16. Johnson was a 7th round pick and Weinke went in the 2nd or 3rd round (I believe). None of those guys were 1st round picks. Johnson has had a great career for a 7th rounder. So, I'm really not sure who you are talking about with regards to FSU QBs.
  17. Believe it or not, they are actually pretty good.
  18. OMFG LMAO....do not drink anything when you watch this, it will end up on your monitor.... http://www.ifilm.com/ifilmdetail/2665141
  19. Brad Johnson has been fine and Weinke is a decent backup. Ward played hoops. Who exactly has FSU produced that was touted so heavily and bombed?
  20. They just hired Martz as OC and already had Donnie Henderson as DC. This Rod Marinelli guy seems to be able to attract good coaches. The more I hear from Marinelli, the more he seems like he's going to be a very good coach.
  21. Now that sounds like a good time. I've done the Ironman thing here in NYC, in Buffalo and in Hoboken, NJ. Its a lot of fun.
  22. PTR- Use of the pool is not reserved (at least it wasn't 3-4 years ago). You can go there, hang out, have drinks and use it all day. The talent on a nice day there is the best in Vegas during the day. Reserve a cabana if you're out there with a few friends. Enjoy. http://www.vegas.com/resorts/pools/hardrockpool.html
  23. Packer is an idiot. Plain and simple. He has made a career of bashing a successful (in terms of wins AND scholarship) program and a great coach. Wonderful. Loser. We will and we do. You guys have owned us lately. You need the win bad, I think the ACC is going to get 6 in (Duke, NCSt., UNC, BC, Miami and Maryland). But you guys need a little winning streak.
  24. Damn Dolphin fans.
  25. The pool at the Hard Rock Hotel is an absolute must.
