  1. I kinda like Gary Coleman this week. Give the edge to Leftwich.
  2. Duly noted. I'll take care to keep that in mind!
  3. Sorry. It's just that soooo many people don't know the difference. Like at the resaturant when I order a glass of Zin and the 20 year old waitress looks at me and sez: "now, you know that it's RED zin?"
  4. Outstanding vino! Reasonably priced and always consistant! Next time you're at a liquor store, try a bottle of Zinfandel (NOT white, just Zin) that comes from the Dry Creek Valley region of California. Most of the winemakers up there do a nice job with that grape and if you like the Ducale, you may find some nice "value" wines.
  5. Please, please, please: Try a nice cabernet next time you have that ribeye. Cool, not cold. Please. You should be able to get a nice one in Temecula. Try Baily or one of the other locals down there. Don't take offense but (IMHO) calling white zin wine is like calling Odoul's a stout lager I know it's personal taste but...
  6. Willie Parker, Steelers RB - He'll be the starter for a couple of weeks at least due to injuries. Good luck!
  7. Need to start 3 of these 4: (50% ydg & 50% TD's) LT, Willis, Julius Jones or Willie Parker. Normally, this would be a no-brainer and I'd start the 1st three but Parker, the kid who looked great against the Bills last year, had a strong preseason and had a great week one and is still the stater for the Steelers. This time, I don't think that I'm over thinking this... I'm thinking that WP & LT are for sure starters this week and my choice is between Willis and JJ. Thanks!!!
  8. Coles & Williams, IMHO. Good luck!
  9. LT is THE man so I think that you got the better of that trade for sure. Bettis will be back in a couple of weeks so you'll have a great group of backs to choose from. Is Willie Parker available for a FA pick-up? if so, I think that he'd be a great acquisition until The Bus returns. Good luck!
  10. Agree 100% and having Smith back is a key as was mentioned. Good luck!
  11. I think you have a very good team for picking 11th. I like your starters this week as well and imagine that will be a pretty consistent line-up for you throughout the season. Good luck!
  12. Just an FYI: Winners is the Canadian division of TJX Cos. which also owns Marshalls, TJ Max and Home Goods as well as several other off-price retailers throughout North America and Europe.
  13. Yep, carry mints with you all the time and when your speaking with her, put one in your mouth and offer her one as well. Should sink in about the 3rd or 4th time.
  14. I work with the retailing industry and have for my entire career. The IKEA phenomenon has been going on for years. Whenever they open a new store, the area experiences tremendous traffic issues during their first few days. There’s always a lot of fanfare when they open. What you’re seeing, in addition to the desire to get a good deal, is the “shopping as entertainment” trend that Americans have always been drawn to. People think it’s fun to shop at and IKEA and go just to walk around and see stuff. That’s not necessarily who I am but it is true of a surprisingly vast number of folks.
  15. Yep. Global/MSNBC reporting 291 on board many injuries but no reported fatalities. Also that most of air operations were shut down due to weather and that the lightning detection equipment at Pearson was not operating properly. The airport is now closed with flights being diverted to Ottawa and Buffalo. Belief is that the flight was possibly at the proverbial “point of no return” on approach and may have encountered a down draft or possibly lightning.
  16. So long ago, I had to think hard to remember. Rebel Stoner Jock Geek
  17. I just love reports like this morning's Buffalo News' on Milloy's offseason. I read stuff like this and I can't wait for the season to start!!! Milloy on Losman: ..."I just tell him, "Hey, realize you inherited a very good team. You don't have to go out there and beat everybody by yourself.' " Can the Bills win this year with Losman? "Yes," Milloy said. "We have no choice. That's the thing. It's not just him. Everybody wants to focus on him, and quarterback's a big position. But the faster he can learn how to just not make mistakes, the better off our team will be. We're not going to let him fail. "We want to win a championship." Man, "We're not going to let him fail"... Gives me goosebumps! Bring it on!!!!

  19. Heck, if he can throw ANY type of screen pass or something out into the flat and not have the ball rocket into the turf at 90 mph, I'll be thrilled!
  20. Thanks, nice link. Take a good look at the first photo, his eyes have that weird look... ya know? Not only will he hurt someone but I think he's gonna really enjoy doing it!
