  1. does anyone even know if Law is ok? His injury has only been beaten by 2 players and like I posted before, they were both under 25. He is good, but he may not be well enough to actually play. Last time I checked he was just barely out of a wheelchair and still on crutches. Do you really see him lining up against even a 2nd tier receiver and "crutching" his way to a defensive stop?

  2. Thank tipster, yeah it made me feel a lot better too. I think TD experienced some growing pains in his first few years here, but we seem to be on the right track. Don't forget if it werent for a couple bad plays last year we would have been a playoff team. Hopefully we can keep the careless plays from JP to a minimum, cut out the big plays on D and I think we will be ok. Like everyone here says, don't expect a ton from JP, but then again, don't expect him to fumble around and be useless, he WILL step up next year and I expect him to go to be big for us.

  3. The movie will be studied in film schools for years. Really amazing. However, if you dont have a STRONG stomach for violence, gore and graphic language DO NOT watch it. There is no way you will ike it if you are sensitive at all. Mickey Rourke did a great job btw. My favorite character in the movie. Who was yours?

  4. One of the coolest things is the conclave, which is the papl election proceeding. All the electors are sealed into a room and vote until a 2/3 +1 majority is reached. They communicate the results of every vote to the outside world through smoke signals, black smoke meaning a vote was inconclusive and white smoke annoucing the election of the new pope. http://www.answers.com/topic/papal-election is a good site giving some general knowledge about the process. http://www.cnn.com/SPECIALS/1999/pope/selection/ is also good. Interestingly enough the new pope may continue the rarity of a non-Italian pope and may actually be from outside of Europe. Cardinals from Africa and Latin America, the 2 biggest concentrations of Catholics in the world are among the favorites. However, as the famous saying goes "he who enters the conclave as pope, leaves as cardinal", meaning that politics often proves to knock off the favorites.

  5. am I the only one that thinks upgrading our run blocking more important this year than pass protection? Once McGahee has the defense on its heels, Losman will have a much easier time passing. Even if his pass blocking isnt that great, Mularkey uses a different blocking scheme than other coaches were run blocking is much more important even on pass plays and has running backs and even receivers chip block players on the edges.

  6. what a remarkably ignorant post. Why didnt we do what, cut people till we had room to sign one EXHORBITANTLY priced tackle? Yeah that makes sense. We're gonna have Anderson at LG, Teague at LT and draft a C. If the trade goes through teague can stay put and Shelton is LT. The line is fine. Im sure youre also upset we didnt trade half our defense for Randy Moss cause our offense would have been great if we had him and moulds and evans. Come on. This move allowed us to take a non OL in the 2nd and pickup a backup in the 3rd.
