I know how this is gonna sound, but what the hell! My wife and I go to Callistoga, CA about twice a year. A small village on the Northern End of the Napa Valley. We're walking down the main road, and we see a place that is offering massages. So we think, what the hell. We go in, and I pay for a 45 minute Sports/Deep Tissue massage. Who comes in? This 250lb guy (with the hairy knuckles) with his hair looking eerly similar to Bozo The Clown. The best part, was his stated name was "SunBear" It was one of the better massages I've ever had! Anyhoo, what to expect, what to do, etc. When they are working on your shoulder, and they tell you to relax, and let yourself go, do it! Do your absolute best to totally relax. It does make a big difference. You know it's a good massage, if the time is up, and you swear that it's only been 10 minutes. As for tipping, it's pretty much like everything else. Good service gets good tips. Some places will have a tip jar, while some others will have tip envelopes, where after you get dressed, you drop your tip though a mail type door slot in the room where your massage took place.

In the summer of 1996, I worked with the Sabres on an indefinate temp basis. With regards to Nolan, there were one main issue I knew of in regards to Nolan. - Hasek during the 96-97 offeseason, grew his hair. Only thing is when Hasek grows his hair, it grows up. Not down. I walked down to the front desk to drop off a memo, went to the recptionist, and asked, "Who's the Kramer guy sitting on the couch? She laughed silently and said, "That's Dominik! He looked exactly liked Cosmo Kramer. Everyone teased him about it, but they knew when to stop. There was only one person who kept calling Hasek, Kramer. Ted Nolan. Hasek got really pissed about this, and confronted Nolan. Nolan wouldn't stop though. That led to many, many problems between Hasek and Nolan. Rumors also abounded that Nolan was "with" Jennifer Muckler. For obvious reason, that didn't sit too well with John Muckler. Yet like I said, that was just a rumor, and was not as obvious as the Nolan "Kramer" comments. Ted Nolan can be confirmed to offically close the old Aud Club, by walking out at 3am (after the final game) with two mixed drinks in his hands. Actually, he didn't exactly walk out. He kinda stumbled. That was also one of my most special life moments, sitting with Tom Shue in the Upper Golds for about 30 minutes, talking about the best Sabre moments we've seen to date. Finally, to confirm that this is on the up-and-up, here's a link of a picture of me (eerly looking like a B word ass poor Ron Burgandy) at Centre Ice of the Aud, after the final game. http://www.rushmessageboard.com/images/aud.jpg

Yeah. It was taken at opening day for the new Skateboard park there.

2 possible picks. At #43, LB Thomas Davis - UTEP - is listed as drafted (listed by 2003 on the first page). However, there is no Thomas Davis who played at UTEP. Thomas Howard however, is a UTEP LB (link) who appears to be available. If Thomas Howard is available, that is who I will select. If Thomas Howard is not available, I'll draft Kai Parham, LB - Univ. of Virgina.

Does JP need anything else really? I think not!

But Drew was drafted for Special teams purposes. Can understand about the "RB" label, but it was a totally different thought process than just RB that Drew was drafted.

Very Nice!!! Congrats!!!

Already done!

My step son Clinton (named after Eastwood, not Bill ) called yesterday saying that he was on the cover of some magazine. I asked him what one, and he said something for the town. When I got home, it was really more than just some magazine. It's the Spring 2006 Rec. Division Brochure, and it's a damn good shot! http://www.walnutcreekrec.org Pretty sweet, and very proud of him!

NOW you understand the Maurice Drew pick! You're a smart man!

Kinda looks like his head smacked the road when he landed. Safe to say that dude was dead and the car that hit him made sure.

Didn't Jim Kelly go to Miami? Yeah. That guy was an idiot with a long police record.

Thanks!

Last time I was in Vegas was 2002. Went to see Rush at the MGM (Big surprise, I know...). Anyhoo, we stayed at The Mirage. Opposite ends of the strip. 9 of us were gonna try to get 2 cabs to the MGM, when I noticed 4 stretch limo's sitting there, with the drivers standing outside talking with each other. I went to the Consierge to enquire about the limo's, and he told me to walk up to one of them to see if they're available. So I did, and the driver of the first car in line asks how many in my party. Said 9, and he said that he had a 10 person limo, go get them! We piled in, and he took us to the MGM. Right to the front door. Took the back street. Best thing about this? Flat $55 rate to anywhere on the strip! Might be more now, but it was a great deal! On the way back from the show to the Mirage, yep! Got a limo to The Mirage, this one was $60, but it was a 12 personn limo. Everyone chiped in $20 each way. Not only did the drivers get a really nice tip, but I had some really nice gambling money too boot!

Don and Mike?

How many drummers does it take to change a light bulb? 10. 1 to change it, 9 others to comment how much better Neil Peart would have changed the light bulb.

What's wrong with Mike Patrick? He is a great announcer! I'm not a fan of Thiesmann either, but Patrick, Thiesmann, and MacGuire worked and complimented each other very well.

John Gurtler. (Remember him?) I too, thought he was a drool drone, until I heard him play drums at a party in Amherst in '98. I must say, Mr. Gurtler is a very, very, solid drummer.

I've heard this person mention their wants to be NFL Commissioner before. I heard this person on the ESPN Pre-Game yesterday. They have some excellent football knowledge. They would really shake up the NFL, and provide a no-nonsense direction for the NFL. And, I'm a liberal, but I would think that... Condeliza Rice, Secretary of State, would be an excellent NFL Commissioner! Discuss.

I'll spell it out clearly for you. I - T I - S C - A - L - L - E - D A J - O - K - E If you notice something like a or a or even possibly a with a slight chance of a after a post, that means that you can review the post as a humorous statement, and you should not withdrawl stock or fill up on your heart medication because of said post. Follow these suggestions, and there will be happy, shinny people from endzone to endzone!

Say what you want about the refs, etc. Althought valid, this game turned on one play. Willie Parker should have gotten the MVP one one play.

Back up RB, but primarly used on special teams. Difference makers get drafted early.

He had a couple of good returns, but he is very inconsistant. Especially at catching the ball off of punts/kickoffs.

[believe everything you read on the internet]Those photos say they're from Wednesday. Probably his last night of partying. He'll be fine.[/believe everything you read on the internet]
