  1. Joe Montana came to Fort Bragg while I was still on active duty. He seemed like a pretty good guy. But keep in mind he was there selling autographed merchandise. So don't feel bad if you don't get a free one.
  2. I don't fault MM for the Moulds situation. He was hung out to dry and Ralph had to come in and deal with it. Hopefully that was one of the things they ironed out over the last few days.
  3. I made it through the triple OT but I paid for it today.
  4. I thought Ralph talked to the players before making his decision.
  5. Thank you for posting at TBD. You know our motto, never post 1 thread when 10 will do.
  6. "I just upped it to 140 millimeters"
  7. The storm isn't over yet.
  8. Rejoice... are we getting babe of the day twice a day now.
  9. Ralph knows better than to call the fans of Buffalo "jerks". He also showed he reads the editorials and is somewhat in touch with how pissed everyone is.
  10. Why does he have to be the son, why not a cousin?
  11. 1:09pm - The "eat crow" crowd will start in.
  12. We want bisexual college cheerleaders!
  13. 1:00pm - Press Conference 1:07pm - All these rumors which turned out to be false will start to magically disappear from the board.
  14. Right out of MM pilot's mouth!
  15. from News.com.au A UNIVERSITY has issued its annual list of annoying phrases and words that should be banned from the English language, with "person of interest" and "97 per cent fat-free" among this year's winners.The 2006 List of Words and Phrases Banished from the Queen's English for Mis-Use, Over-Use and General Uselessness was released at the weekend by Lake Superior State University. A university committee selected the 17-word list, which was whittled down from almost 2000 nominations. The university in northern Michigan has been compiling the list since 1976 as a way to attract publicity. Among the nearly 800 words banned so far are "metrosexual" (2004), "baby boomers" (1989) and "detente" (1976). Heading into 2006, the committee targeted such linguistic gems as "hunker down", which it noted is used by media "in reports about everything from politics to hurricanes". Also frequently heard on the news is "person of interest", a favourite of law enforcement agencies. Such a person is "seldom encountered at cocktail parties", the list's authors noted. Not all the words came from the evening news, however. "Community of learners" is a phrase from the field of education. "Not to be confused with 'school'," Indiana critic Jim Howard wrote. Politics offered plenty of fodder for the list. The committee cited "up-or-down vote", a phrase uttered often in 2005 by Republicans eager to see US President George W. Bush's judicial nominees move quickly through the Senate, without the threat of a Democratic filibuster - a technique used to stall debate on an issue. The committee also banished "FEMA", the acronym for the Federal Emergency Management Agency, of which the operations in the aftermath of hurricane Katrina were widely criticised as ineffective. "If they don't do anything, we don't need their acronym," wrote Arizona resident Josh Hamilton. Many of the phrases banned this year are not new, but simply got under enough people's skin to finally deserve the dubious honour. Florida man Miguel McCormick, was fed up with "first-time caller", a designation heard on talk radio. "I am serious in asking: Who in any universe gives a care?" he asked. The list of the banned words and phrases for 2006: Surreal hunker down person of interest community of learners up-or-down vote breaking news designer breed FEMA first-time caller pass the savings on to you 97 per cent fat-free an accident that didn't have to happen junk science dawg talking points holiday tree
  16. Two things that had to happen for us to have a successful 2005 season. 1) The defense had to continue to play at a championship level. 2) Willis McGahee had to carry the offense. Neither happened. As for Bledsoe, he can have the starting QB job back when he can beat Pittsburgh's 3rd string.
  17. And here we go to triple OT!
  18. I was thinking Ms. Potato Head myself.
  19. I've seen guys come home from deployment to find their wife knocked up. Not cool...
  20. Was there a game? I tuned in and got the Laura Quinn show.
  21. It's the perfect time to throw Losman in. Holcomb has had 10 years to proof he is starting QB material. We were all but mathematically eliminated from the playoffs by the middle of the season. It was the ideal time to throw Losman in and see if he is the future of this franchise.
  22. No conditioning will fix lack of heart.
  23. Mods.... it's time to bring back the thread.
