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

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!

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.

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.

Here's a crazy idea that would add even more interest to the Super Bowl and to the Pro Bowl and give the average fan to maybe see a Super Bowl live once in their lives.
Make the Pro Bowl count. Put real bullets in the gun for the Pro Bowl. Winning Conference gets home field advantage for the Super Bowl the following year AND the game is played at the HOME Stadium of whatever team makes it to the Super Bowl. Rotate the Pro Bowl among the warm weather cities. (New Orleans, Miami, LA, ect.)
For example-
The Pro Bowl for the 2004 season was won by the NFC. That would have given the NFC Home Field for this seasons Super Bowl which would have ended up obviously as Pittsburgh at Seattle.
That gives the fans in Seattle a chance to go to a Super Bowl and would still give the rich folk a chance to get wasted for a week in a warm weather city (the following week at the Pro Bowl) It would also be twice as much hype for the NFL and that means more ad dollars in Jerry Jones & Dan Snyders wallets. There would still be the two weeks of buildup for the SB and there would still be the 12 hour Super Bowl pregame show and everything else that goes with it- the SB would just be a home game for one of the teams.
Just imagine what it would be like in WNY if the Bills ever get back to the playoffs and have a shot to play the Super Bowl at Home in RWS. Talk about insanity.
I don't think this could ever work, as security, transportation issues, etc., would need to be handled much more in advance. If the SuperBowl Committee selects two cities for the upcoming year, meaning that Phoenix and San Diego were the cities up, AFC Wins the 2006 game, then San Diego gets the game, vica vers, etc.

One reason why the Chargers are proud to select...
Maurice Drew - RB - UCLA
Special Teams
Yes. His size is questioned, but the Chargers Special Teams were one of it's weakest links in 2005. Drew will immediately upgrade the position. And if a late touchdown is needed, and you have Reggie Bush and Maurice Drew deep, just the mere presence of Bush will open up lanes for Drew. Not to mention that Drew will be able to spell Bush at RB.
He will surprise a lot of people.

Ok.
I know that this might appear to be a LAMP, and 99% will read the following and say, "BullS*%t!!!" Yet the following is 100% completely true.
1988. I'm working at Waterbeds and Stuff. They're sponsoring a charity event at the Amherst Marriot. The event is, "Come watch Monday Night Football with the Bills".
I get there early. Bruce is sitting at the bar, drinking Diet Pepsi. Talley comes in, then Nate Odoms. Thurman comes in. A co-worker (who was extremely hot) Kelly comes in, with her friend, Patty. Patty is like, "did you go to Iroquois?" She graduated 2 years behind me. Anyhoo, at halftime, if you got 3 footballs through the tire toss thing, you would win tickets. I got 2 out of 3, and got a sweet pair of RayBan Sunglasses.
As the 3rd quarter is starting, Kelly, Patty, Thurman and I are sitting at a booth. I get up to get drinks. I come back, and Thurman is wearing my RayBans. I'm like, "Hey man. Those are my glasses". Thurman smiles and says, "They were your glasses".
Thurman then slips his number to Patty, by putting it directly in her jean skirt, and keeps his hand there for like 5 minutes. And if your thinking, well yep. That Patty is now Mrs. Patty Thomas.
What does this mean to this thread? Thurman had his moments, no question. But when it comes right down to it, Thurman is not only a Hall of Fame player, but he is also a Hall of Fame person, for the simple fact that he loves to have fun, and his personality is very infectious!

I would love to have a SuperBowl back in the Bay Area! What, it's gonna be in the high 60's, low 70's here tomorrow? Cancel Stanford (Take off that Red shirt) Stadium. Won't happen in Oakland. If the new 49ers stadium ever gets built, that's probably the best bet. Cal Memorial Stadium just isn't accessable enough for a SuperBowl (although Tightwad Hill would be an experience watching a Superbowl).

None that I found in SF. Ricky's Sports Bar probably has the best wings I've had since I've moved out here. (If you can deal with all Raiders, all the time). McCovey's in Walnut Creek also has not only really good wings, but just about everything on their menu is top notch (if you can deal with all Giants, all the time).

Chicken Wings made the REAL Buffalo way. (Only 2 places that I've found in the Bay Area make chicken wings worthy of the name).
Pillsbury biscuits, with Ham and Cheese and Sausage and Cheese stuffed in before baking.
Little Smokies with BBQ Sauce in a crock pot.
Friends are bringing various other dishes.
Hodge podge of various beers, but the "main course" of beers contains:
and for those who are not as bold, Blanche de Chambly
Say what you want about drinking all Quebec beers, they're really, really, damn good!!!

I'm subscribed with a small cable company. They don't offer NHL Centre Ice. We have internet with this company, but I'm seeing Comcast offering live webcasts of NHL Games, and I've been seeing some Sabres games offered.
Anyone have this? Good quality? etc.

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.
