  1. Ol' Marshawn loves his Momma. We shall give him a check mark in the character book for that.
  2. It's a conspiracy, I tell ya. They want to keep us down! It's those damn Arabs and the Russkies and A.J. Smith and a Labrador Retriever Cyborg Puppy from Iceland that is fluent in International Relations and Salary Cap Machinations.
  3. What is this "Are texting" you speak of?
  4. *Peak Perspective Achieved* /PPP Forum
  5. I want it to be later because I am seeing The Decemberists in concert tonight. Any fans out there?
  6. Therein lies the mystery, n'est ce-pas?
  7. Bledsoe will realize that he won't start anywhere and he will retire because his ego is too huge to take being a backup to anybody. /thread
  8. I don't own a gun, let alone many guns to necessitate a gun rack.... What am I going to do....with a gun rack?
  9. No one should be surprised if we pick Hall in the 1st, imo. One of our starting CB's is coming off a year where he by all accounts took a step back (perhaps just getting acclimated to a new system, however, but maybe not), whereas our other starting CB.....has yet to be determined.....and the most likely candidate is a promising second year player who is pretty much a rookie considering the time he missed in training camp, preseason etc. If I had to bet, I do not think we will take Hall because we are high on Youboty and want to give him a fair shot, but I would not be surprised if Hall is our pick. I think it all depends on how we judge the LB value at our spot in the 1st. But, it could also be a situation where we want to start Youboty and Hall and make McGee a nickle corner for good, so, lots of possible scenarios could see a pick of Hall, imo....
  10. That about covers this thread.
  11. Alanis looks like she could either meditate for hours in silent concentration without faltering or eat my soul if she wanted to like a rabid demoness and that internal juxtaposition is kinda hot, imo
  12. I think many people here don't get the humor behind this because they're not familiar with what it is satirizing. It's spot on, imo. And Alanis is hot. And So is Tori Amos, who everyone and their mother knows has more talent than Alanis but then again Tori Amos has an unusual amount of talent. Does that about cover everything?
  13. LMFAO Welcome to the future, ladies and gentlemen. Government by nature always has your best interests at heart!
  14. Ahmadinejad is a crafty fellow. It will be interesting to see how much political capital he thinks he can win out of this "goodwill" gesture....
  15. I think the anti-Turner people have a problem with two things, basically: 1) The amount and/or high round of draft picks that will most likely be needed to give up to get him (i.e. a 1st round, or a combo of a 1st and later pick, or just more than one pick, in general). Why give up a 1st or more than one pick when a RB can be taken with only one pick or without sacrificing a 1st? 2) The amount of money that he will have to be paid through a new contact extension: this line of reasoning goes, "Why pay 30 million for Turner when you could draft a rookie for relative chump change and develop him? Both are relative unknown quantities (one with limited NFL experience and the other with none) so why take on an undue financial risk? /devil's advocate I can see the logic in both of these objections. I count myself as neither a pro nor anti Turner person. If Marv and Co. through their evaluations think he is the real deal and is the guy that will fit what we want to do on offense, then I would support a trade and extension for Turner, as I don't see Marv and Co. giving up the farm in terms of draft picks for any one player, knowing how much Marv values building through the draft. I will not, however, lose any sleep whatsoever if we pass on Turner and the Titans, for example, mortgage the farm to get him and we instead draft a rookie RB somewhere in the draft. If you think about it, with the idea that Marv values draft picks and is not going to throw a bunch of them to a team to trade for any one player, then we have the situation pretty much under control, as our hand is not forced to move any one way and we can spend our picks and our money where we deem fit.
  16. Yes, that's how I heard it about Little Steven. Chase wrote Syl for him after he auditioned for Tony (which how absurd would that have been). The only major character that I have a slight problem with is Meadow. She is hot as shiit but she is really limited as an actress. Now, granted, she has gotten better over the seasons (if you look at season one compared to season 5 or the first half of six, for example), but she has a tendency to fall into the trap of whining instead of emoting, which limited actresses often do because well....they just don't have the talent necessary to pull off portraying complex emotion on screen. But she does at least look the part, however, and did I say she was hot as hell?
  17. We currently have one backup safety for both safety positions. That it not enough. We need to carry four safeties on the team. One more is needed, from somewhere, to fill out depth.
  18. Of course, he is the ST captain, but he is also a backup LB in a pinch and that's really the only position he can play in a Cover-2 D, as he does not cover enough ground or play well enough in the open field to play SS, imo.
  19. That's good to know. Thanks for the heads up
  20. His nickname is "Turner the Burner"....
  21. i didn't read your yellow text until now. interesting.
  22. This is what I heard as well, that the delay on this last batch of episodes was due to Gandolfini's injury.
