You are correct, sir.

Dammit. If only Peters had reported to camp on time, none of this would be happening.

:thumbsup: Loved that.

I'm surprised most of the Raiders team and staff were not fired before overtime.

WHY DO COACHES STILL DO THIS TIMEOUT CRAP??!?!?!?!

Oh don't be silly. It was a great movie.

Brady has second surgery to clear infection in knee This is the kind of stuff I see all the time. Not good for him. Some athletes have had serious problems when their surgically repaired knees became infected afterward. These types of infections can be nothing, or they can be seriously difficult to treat. The fact that he needed a second surgery to clean out the infection speaks strongly to it being more than just a simple post-surgical infection, though...

If we actually do pick 29th (and not because of a trade), I'll be happy enough to not care who they pick.

Why don't you make like a tree, and get out of here.

Just be careful what you wish for. I don't care how bad Fowler is, if Preston is put in at center we're in some serious trouble.

Hehe...I just hang around this place far too much.

Come on, seriously?

DiCesare isn't the worst columnist, but he sure didn't help his cause with this one. Seriously, he refers to the trade that brought an aging star (Bledsoe) here -- giving up future draft picks and setting the team back by a few years -- and he's using that as an argument to do the same with Gonzales? You're kidding me, right? Then later, as dave points out, he fesses up that he doesn't really know what happened, despite his insistence that the Bills "froze". Meanwhile, a little internet surfing by GG tells me more than DiCesare could ever hope to. Good grief.

If we don't figure out a way to get a pass rush on Rivers, I think we'll be in trouble.

The most important thing about the Browns-Giants game is that it should put the Bills-Cardinals game in some perspective. The [bills/Giants] are a good team -- maybe not quite as good as their record or stats indicate, but still good. The [Cardinals/Browns] are nowhere near as bad as their record or stats indicate. The [Cardinals/Browns] actually do have a pretty good offense, and generally play much better at home than on the road. The [bills/Giants] don't suck because they got creamed on the road by the [Cardinals/Browns]. Sometimes good teams don't match up well against other teams, or those other teams draw up really good game plans. Anybody think the Giants completely suck because they got hammered by a team that was previously 1-3 and looking as bad as that sounds?

That's hilarious, considering they were following that with the cameras on TV. Anybody who was watching the game at that point would be an eyewitness. Was Silver actually watching the game? If so, he wouldn't have had to say "according to an eyewitness." Some credibility issues, there...

Perfect...absolutely perfect. I think I'll always remember that now.

I love reading threads like this after the fact.

Should we change your name to 'Baghdad Boomer'?

The ticker tape at the bottom of the NFL Network last night said the Chiefs were asking for a 3rd.

Well...you COULD postulate that he was thrown in along with a draft pick in exchang for Gonzales. I'm not exactly sure why they would want him, though.

Nothing about KC on his Wikipedia page...although it does say it was edited today. So maybe it was removed.

That was freaking hilarous.

For some reason that made me think of Gene Wilder in "Blazing Saddles".

I always thought I was pretty good at eyeballing spacial things, like the midpoint of a line or the center of a circle. Now somebody made a simple game where you're put to the test. You have to run through the series of seven tests three times, and your average score over all 21 tests is your final score, with lower being better (more accurate). Pretty fun for a short distraction. And oh yeah, I kicked butt: I crushed the very last test with a perfect score (0) and got the top spot with 2.05. Of course, before I finished this post two other people already beat that, but hey.
