would be great if AD was able to continue there.
New series (maybe just miniseries?) on showtime called "Sleeper Cell" about infiltrating muslim terrorist cell in LA seems pretty good.

from this article:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/10271314/
Meantime, the island's two presumptive holy men — Locke and Eko — finally hunkered down. Locke played the Dharma orientation film for Michael and Eko.
The film unsettled Eko, who later revealed to Locke what was hidden inside the Bible found in the tail-enders' Dharma station: some of the film's missing footage of Dr. Marvin Candle.
Demonstrating that he could run enigmatic circles around Locke, Eko prefaced this revelation by recounting the biblical tale of Josiah (the Judaic king who purged the Jerusalem temple of idols and repaired it), drawing a parallel between Josiah's rediscovery of God's laws and his own discovery of the Bible.
When Locke marveled at the coincidence of it all, Eko replied, "Don't mistake coincidence for fate."
The Josiah thing is admittedly puzzling, and how fortunate there's six weeks to hash it all out. For one thing, Josiah later fatally led his forces into Megiddo, the valley where Armageddon supposedly will take place. There's Kate's black horse, which also has apocalyptic overtones. Add that to last week's curious moment with Locke filling "Gilgamesh" into his crossword puzzle, responding to the clue, "Enkidu's friend." Is Locke Gilgamesh? Is Eko Enkidu? (Totally confused?) Nothing like a Christmas-vacation research project.

He is just doing his job.....
Your comparisons don't make sense...It is like saying a home builder should
not make the big money and it should be the carpenter because he is the
one who is doing the actual framing.....Company CEOs should not be the
highest paid, it should be the s/w programer who actually writes the software...
He is doing what he is supposed to do....be the agent.....I don't think he has
done anything wrong....May be you are jealous of his riches.
Also calling him narcissistic poison seems stupid...Just last summer the same
guy saved a kid from drowing in a pool in florida....
I am not defending this guy....He has done things to provoke something inside
his players...Some players have listened to him and ignored his advice...Others
have adhered to it and paid the penalty.....But for TO, I think it is neither....
TO plays the game all by himself.....
Lots of Agents hold their players from coming to camp....This guy gets the
players to camp and then fights a battle....
Why can't a narcissist know CPR? In the end the incident gained him some adulation and fed his ego.
You are right, he was just being an agent for TO and doing his job. Agents are slimebags in general. He just epitomizes the profession.

at about 12 minutes into that interview rosenhaus tries to turn it into a little promotion about himself. the guy is narcissistic poison with a purple tie. and probably a multimillionaire too. how many times did he say "next question" rather than even attempt a lame answer....it is relatively harder to criticize mike williams for being lazy & greedy when rosenhaus makes so much money by being nothing but an absolute scum.

Rome is the 1st HBO show that I find unwatchable. It's horrible.
Here's my review of Sideways: So, some genius in Hollywood decided to make a male version of Thelma & Louise, well the original sucked, so why do a remake. I just wish the characters had met the same fate as Thelma & Louise.
How can anyone like these characters or their antics. They had more crimes on their resumes than the guys on my busted board. (I don't even remember half their names)
Did anyone ever hear of the crime called drunk driving? I'm surprised MADD didn't condemn this movie, but when did MADD ever do or say anything useful anyway. These characters love to drink a lot of wine & get behind the wheel-how lovely!
Sandra Oh, hey ever hear of felonious assault & battery. They arrest women who beat up guys just because they lied to get sex. Never saw the police anywhere in this movie. And speaking of lying for sex, how can anyone like a character who will **** any woman that breathes the week of his wedding, and then wreck his friend's car to cover up an assault that messes up his face. While we're on crimes-besides the drunk driving stuff & battery, what about public lewdness, running around naked to get back to the motel?
Hey Giamatti, biggest drunk offender-breaking and entering ain't exactly law abiding either. Overall, his character is a downer, man. Doesn't have the guts to go to a wedding reception just because his ex is pregnant.
Only good scene was when he takes the bottle of wine & runs in the fields to drink it all before the actor can stop him. Speaking of scenes, if there's going to be nudity, please make it a hot babe and not 2 whales doing it and the guy running out fully naked. They couldn't even get the nudity right!
Sideways- thumbs down!
Thanks for the review Michael Medved.

i think we should leave bofriends out of this

we should still throw in the towel and draft the QB from USC and then engineer a trade for Shaub- we could throw in a 4th round pick and a year's supply of anchor bar wing sauce. I think vabills has vouched for the shaub guy, so we're good.

Of course, no one who criticises a team should EVER be a fan. We should all be "rooting robots". I'm going to coin that term, I think.
I'm not sure anyone is really disappointed in KH. I know that I'm not. My contention is that this team, even with Steve Young, is going nowhere. They simply are not good enough. And the bill of goods the fans were sold concerning that issue is upsetting.
you're right, they're not great. we know that. maybe we were misled a couple months ago. life sucks. but at this point, what can you do. why not just feel good when they happen to win - especially against a division rival. if nothing else, they contributed to a melancholy afternoon for a few dolphin fans who had started to develop unrealistic expectations about their team. and if you can't feel pleasure about the misfortunes of miami fans, really what else is there?

My blog is done for this episode. I will clean it up tomorrow. There is some interesting stuff I noticed myself and some other stuff I read a Lost fansite about this episode. I took the time to watch this episode very slowly and tried to keep my comments to stuff that is confirmed or widely accepted. Well, for every part except the part where I think Desmond was in Michael's flashback. I'm pretty sure it was him though.

maybe i don't have an eye for detail, but I wouldn't call that Desmond in Michael's flashback, I'd call that an extra.

some of you guys must be killing labillz w/ all of your resign-ations

Didn't they need an illegal handball to beat us last time in the final 8? And wasn't that after the U.S. beat Mexico AGAIN?
I confess to being an anti-soccer person, but I do beccome a quasi-fan in international play just because it's so amusing to beat these countries who despise the U.S. so deeply and whose entire lives revolve around the game while we're playing our country's 4th rate athletes (no offence to anybody who plays). I mean really - it's hilarious.
excellent point BuffOrange. David Wells and Sam Adams would be running circles around those guys. Big fat guys in America sometimes = 1st rate athletes. Just think how right you'd be if you were an anti-sumo wrestling person.

yeah, this topic is ridiculous nonsense. but can't you come up with anything more witty than DOOOOOOOOOOOOMED - really, try to make something of yourself. the other posters to this thread tried to contribute something with a little creativity and humor. you can do it, show everyone some personality. Did the madbuffalodisease rob you of originality?

there is little less original and more annoying than the omnipresent doooooooooooooooomed post whenever anyone dare predict less than super bowl victory. but if it continues to make you laugh in a three stooges kind of way when you see it (maybe it is simply a contest to see who can post it first?), good for you.

NFL salary figures can be skewed many ways and there might be a formula in which Owens doesn’t make the top 10. But in 2005 salary alone, here are the top five according to the Players Association list:
Randy Moss, Oakland, $8.630 million.
Marvin Harrison, Indianapolis, $8.08 million.
Isaac Bruce, St. Louis, $7.64 million.
Eric Moulds, Buffalo $7.245 million.
Terrell Owens, Philadelphia, $7.243 million.

Nice post.
Note: BlueFire did NOT try to make this a political debate about the Dems
Really nice Sabres article

the narrow goal differential mentioned in the article could be helped out a bit after tonight
