That John Adams always had a gift for pissing people off.

I asked around. Couldn't come up with an exact number more than zero.

Just a little interesting pattern for fans of Peyton Manning such as myself. Over the past couple of years, Peyton Mannings first 3-5 games have told what he was going to do for the year, unlike other QB's who go up and down as the season rolls along. For example: In 2003, in Peyton Mannings first 4 games he had 914 yards, 9 TD's and 3 INT's. This works out to 3,656 yards, 36 TD's and 12 INT's ... Peyton ended up having 4,267 yards, 29 TD's and 10 INT's. Some what close right? In 2004, in Peyton Mannings first 3 games he had 9 TD's and 1 INT. This works out to 4.816 yards, 48 TD's and 6 INT's ... Peyton ended up having 4,557 yards, 49 TD's and 10 INT's. Pretty darn close huh? In 2005, in Peyton Mannings first 5 games he had 6 TD's and 2 INT's. This works out to 3,593 yards 24 TD's and 12.8 INT's ... Peyton ended up having 3,747 yards, 28 TD's and 10 INT's. Once again. Pretty darn close. Now so far in 2006, he is on pace for 5,408 yards, 32 TD's, and 8 INT. Not really important or anything, just thought you guys would think it was interesting.

That Jax game is the exception to the rule. He's not a big play guy. He has 2 30 yard runs this season. That's it. And 4 running TDs. He's averaged more than 4 yards a carry 2 games this year. All that dancing doesn't get him much.

If that's his thinking, then he's an idiot as evidenced by his lack of big plays. All that dancing rarely gets him anywhere.

The way Willis ran in his first 8 games--the stiff arms, the power, the aggressive leveling of tacklers is not the Willis who plays now. He was supposed to be a great pass catcher--he's never in the passing game. He's not a great running back. He'll want tons of cash next year, no doubt. In 2007, he's gone and I won't miss him. A-Train isn't the answer either so it will be interesting to see who the Bills pickup.

I've rarely seen such a concise and damning portrait of the state of the law on this issue. Well done.

I demand a recount. Eff Jefferson. All he did was pen the Declaration. I gave him the outline. Not only that, he didn't live the ideal and was a total nutcase.

Wrestlers are the most effed up group of athletes. No shock that the coach is a mess.

Who. Give. A. Spit.

Suite reference. That's when you can get the Fireball.

When will the mint come out with the President Franklin coin?

No. Racists are a favorite straw-man argument of the left. The last true racists are either dead or so close to death that they are inconsequential. We're just living in their shadow to even still discuss it.

I don't know about you but I am against child rapists.

Countdown to blaming the Democrats for sitting on this until 5 weeks before the election in 3, 2, 1...Wacka? Wacka? Here boy.

Are we projecting 12 interference-with-ability-to-make-a-catch calls over the course of the season (combining for and against)? I can multiply.

What does that project to?

Good front page article exposing some of the dark side of Murtha. Just saying. Murtha

You have trouble making up your own mind? Identify the objective newspaper and I'll give you a cookie. Until then, get over it. The "liberal bias" whiners are ust that: whiners. I read a both a liberal and conservative biased paper. And somehow I can make it through the day and make up my own mind. If you can't do that--make up your own mind--pick the paper with the bias you prefer and read it. That paper will make up your mind for you and you'll be happy.

I read the NYT and WSJ the most. I'd say both have certain bias from time to time. So what? I am a big boy. I can make up my own mind. Can you? Is that why you can't go 5 seconds without talking about the liberal media? Jesus H.

It was an editorial. You realize that right?

Definitely law school for you. I hear you have to pay a sir charge when you pay tuition though.

Please, Oh all-knowing oracle, give us your definition. Elighten the masses. Come down from the mountain or at least shout it down to us. Note: I don't care that you're 19. Maybe you're 19 and know more than every person here like you assume. But get real: your know-it-all attitude shows you to be an unlikable prick. Next time you post a topic like this, imagine mommy told you she loved you when you were a kid and try to interact with your fellow humans with some respect.

Shrewd.

Not really, except for INTs. This one is a little closer but INTs are about 50% off. Try again. This one is a little better. Of course, you picked at random the number of games to project the season over--different in every case: 4 games in 2003, 3 in 2004, and 5 in 2005. Further, it's hardly a shock that how someone plays in their first 4 (or so) games actually projects to how they might play over 16 games. What's the impressive study here? So here you use a 2 game sample to project a 15 game season? The Chargers have scored 67 points in 2 games. They are going to score almost 500 points this season. Ryan Denney is on pace for 32 sacks and the NFL sack record. Losman won't throw an INT this season. See how silly this is.
