And the play ends when the whistle blows. Assuming for the sake of argument that he was never down, wouldn't a review just give them the ball at whatever point he was at when the whistle blew? I think it was the Dallas game last week where a play was ruled dead as an incomplete pass, but it had actually hit Whitten in the foot and bounced into the Giant DB's hands. He started to run it back, then the whistle blew. It was challenged and the Giants were awarded the ball at the spot where the whistle was blown (screwed out of a TD, but still got the ball). Is it different there since it was either an interception as opposed to a tackle?

I don't like throwing this label around, but that just might be the worst call I have ever seen in professional sports. How does every single ref on the field miss that?

Falling back on a guy who just put up 40 goals in an injury shortened season does make it a bit easier though. I can't help but come back to Suter and Coburn though. I don't remember what the draft board looked like back in 2003, but if the team had decided to go D instead, it doesn't seem all that likely that they would've taken Phaneuf. Suter and Coburn seem to fit the mold of defensemen this team was drafting at that time.

Just because Williams was interested in Brees doesn't mean Donahoe and the rest of the team was interested in Brees.

The follow up to breaking out of prison is so ridiculously obvious though. That show was guaranteed to have material for a second season if it caught on.

I have no problem with the Vanek pick. Really, every pick in front of Phaneuf has had a good career so far. It's not like we're talking about taking a guy like Kryukov with that pick. The big question I always come up with from that draft is how Suter and Coburn went immediately before Phaneuf, especially knowing that Atlanta has since traded Coburn for Alexi Zhitnik. By the way, I absolutely love the first round of that draft.

Ravens? Were the starter jackets even around anymore when they moved to Baltimore?

Actually it was the NCAA and I believe the name has officially been removed. As for college jerseys, Maine probably has the best.

I don't think those numbers mean all that much since they include special teams guys like Corto, Wendling and Jenkins who never actually see the field on O or D.

I worked at track meets when I was in college. One of the things I had to do was set the bar for the pole vault. My god the legs and asses on those pole vault girls were amazing.

Refresh my memory here. Is the song in all 4 movies?

Remember, Whitner's was the first ever house in the world to be robbed.

Someone really needs to make this.

You never can tell with people around here.

It looked to me like he planned to run out of bounds on that big hit, then realized the DB was a lot closer than he thought. He pretty much had no choice at that point.

Wrong song. The one I was talking about was Chris Cornell for Casino Royale. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pWaB4ISFnbg...feature=related Edit: I don't know if it's the speakers in my laptop or not, but the sound quality on that link just doesn't do the song justice.

Yeah, that's a possibility that so many people seem to be ignoring. Jackson has been great, but what if Lynch goes out there and is even better? I sure would love to have that "problem".

Absolutely. Does any other Bond theme even come close to this one? "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale was really good but probably gets no attention. Nothing comes close though.

There was a point in that game where the refs called a 5 yard penalty against the Buffalo defense. I don't remember the exact moment, but it was 1st and 10 and the ref announced the call and stated that it was an automatic 1st down. On the next play, the ESPN graphics said 1st and 5 and the yellow line was 5 yards down the field. So yeah, that yellow line is always completely accurate.

I'm not sure if it qualifies as a "song" but is there anything more iconic than 2001?

It's obviously an eye opening number, but we have to remember that Brady did throw 53 passes compared to Trent's 25.

Scored to go up 11 and then the next time they touched the ball, they were down 1. These are the moments that remind me never to celebrate any TD anymore. Really though, when it happened, my immediate reaction was to praise Hangartner for rolling out so perfectly to set that up.

This plus the stuffed buffalo head hat that I got back in 86.

Maybe they view Levitre as a better long term option? It's not just about the first game after the draft.

I saw a stack of these cds at 7-11 today. They're even selling them there?
