If it happens, it'll be real interesting watching essentially a rookie QB trying to keep Owens in line. Since I got ST, I've typically avoided Dallas games like the plague. I might have to check out a couple this year waiting for the meltdown.

Yeah, the van ride back to Staten Island should be pleasant for him. Not sure if they'll make him ride on top with the luggage or underneath the van looking for potholes. Either one might be safer than riding with his teammates.

No suggestions of the sort. Just an observation that it was a REALLY bad way to lose a game. My money says that kid never walks off a base again.

The Staten Island team was down 1 - 0 in the bottom of the 6th with 1 out and 1 on 1st. A kid hit the ball into the outfield and the kid on 1st gets tagged out at 3rd. The kid that hit the ball made it to 2nd. But when the kid on 3rd started to walk back to the dugout, the kid that made it to 2nd must have thought that was the 3rd out and started walking back to the dugout as well. They tagged him out near 1st. What a lousy way to lose a ball game.

King was pretty explicit to say that it was his own take on the QB situation - that nobody working for Jerry Jones has intimated a switch was imminent, but King definitely made it sound like he believes Drew will be demoted very soon. One of the other guys (Collinsworth, maybe) said that he thought the switch would happen this year, but made it sound like he thought it would happen during the season. King ended the bit by questioning whether Drew would accept being a backup. I don't know how much Drew is making, but I'd be surprised to see him just walk away. It's all speculation now, but as mentioned previously, I was curious how realistic this might be. Interesting.

Watching the SNF game, at the half they had Peter King on. He was saying he thinks that due to Dallas' line being bad that the Cowboys would probably go with the mobile Romo rather than the statuesque Bledsoe. That would be an interesting turn of events. If it does happen, I can't wait to see the circus that can turn into, especially when you throw 1 addional clown (Owens)into the ring. Any thoughts on how Drew would handle the demotion if it happens? Also, any thoughts on whether King has his head up his nether regions on this one?

I would have thought that as well, but the initial posts in this thread seem to contradict that assumption.

OK, let me rephrase it to the following. I doubt he would ever WILLINGLY allow someone to buy the right to put their name or their company's name on the marquee because he HATED the fact that the naming rights to the stadium were sold when it was built. I was just looking at it from the aspect of the lease with Erie County. I have no idea how the NFL's CBA works and will readily defer to others far more knowledgable on that issue.

Ralph would get the $'s from selling the naming rights to the stadium. I doubt he would ever allow someone to buy the right to put their name or their company's name on the marquee because he HATED the fact that the naming rights to the stadium were sold when it was built.

How could you forget a 400 ft tall moth? BTW, IIRC Mothra was the good guy, so I guess you want Ed to be Godzilla.

Absolutely. Because it obviously is due to something you did, or more likely DIDN'T do, that caused him to spend the night with another woman. Besides, I'm sure he's just TALKING with her. Why, what did you expect him to be doing?

"Ran him out of town like a common pygmy."

Considering that the question of whether these wiretaps are legal in large measure is a question of whether they fall under Congressional or Executive authority (or which portions fall under whose authority), it seems that the SCOTUS is where the question needs to be answered. It'll be interesting to see after the appeals are heard whether the SCOTUS decides to hear the case, and possibly create new gray areas, or let it remain in the gray area that it will still be in after the appelate courts have ruled.

So what, now that some guy name Eye-gore took Abbie Normal's gray matter from his collection, he wants to use yours as a replacement? Glad to hear the test results show everything's well.

Well, they always have lived in the fire swamp. Looks like they're vacationing in Maine now as well.

While I hope you are right (boy, do I hope you're right) there are a few other differences between last year's Sabres and this year's Bills. The Sabres had one of the best records in the league in the 2nd half of the '03-'04 season, the Bills were not as successful in the latter stages of '05. With the lockout, the Sabres had an opportunity for many of their prospects (Miller, Roy, Pominville, Gaustad, and Vanek spring to mind immediately) to get significant action and responsibility on a very good minor league team in '04-'05. The combination of playing time and level of competition being stronger than in a normal AHL season would not have been possible in a non-lockout / strike year, and IMHO sped their development. The coach and GM got a chance to spend more time than normal watching their prospects and had a very good idea of what they would bring to the table. The Bills didn't have a chance to put their rooks - 3rd year players in staring roles working together in NFL Europe or the CFL. The Sabres coaching and front office staffs had been in place since 1997. The Bills have a totally new organization and the players and coaches are currently learning what each other can do and what to expect from each other. As I said, I hope you are right. I don't think the Bills will be dregs of the league this year, but I am not saving up for playoff tickets either.

Alex's sister had the hots for this guy that KG77 seems pretty high on too? Cool.

It definitely has become one of the more interesting theories I've read over here. I am still interested in reading Mr. Arm's responses. I wouldn't say this thread rivals clowns balancing on boards yet, but it is getting there.

A few comments / questions. 1. I wouldn't go praising Mensa's screening process too highly when morons like Mike D'ohopp made it through the process. ("No, no, I'm smart! I have a piece of paper that tells you I'm smart!") 2. What is your basis for assuming that measuring aptitude for carpentry (or any other useful skill) is "impractical"? And what does your aside about social skills have to do with your "theory"? 3. Why would your policies, necessarily, "increase the proportion of whites"?

Who the heck cooks pop-tarts? You're supposed to eat the darn things raw.

I would expect that rather than using them as detonators, they are using them as "single use" phones so that no one phone is used often enough for authorities to zero in on a particular phone, or more accurately, network of phones.

If you had seen the game, you would understand why everyone is on the "slam Holcomb bandwagon". In the entire 1st quarter, he never attempted to throw more than 5 yards downfield. His 2nd incompletion was a bounce pass about 5 yards down the middle of the field (so Kelly was about 8 yards away from his intended receiver) on a 3rd down. And the sack he took on 3rd and 3 (1st or 2nd "drive"), he HAD time to throw the ball but neither got the ball off (could have been due to coverage, I doubt it, but it's possible) nor did he attempt to move from the pocket at all (very Bledsoe-esque). The interception was a throw that only 1 player on the field had ANY chance of catching and he hit the man right in the hands, unfortunately the man was wearing a stylized black cat on his hat. It cut against what Kelly's strengths supposedly are - good decision making and accurate throws on short routes. It was by far the worst that I have seen Kelly look since coming to the Bills. And while the coaches did him no favors by making him go against Carolina's starters, they did give him the short plays that he normally can do well with.

Quality-wise they are comparable. They are both hilarious. But I look at AD as more of an updated "SOAP" and IASiP as what "Seinfeld" would have been if it didn't attempt to give the protagonists ANY redeeming qualities and it wasn't on network television.

Other than all the characters being flawed a-holes, not much. Oh, yeah. It's set in Filly as well.
