  1. Going no-huddle doesn't mean we're switching to a constant two-minute drill. They can still use the entire clock if that's the cadence they go for on any particular play/drive. The highlight reels don't show our offense taking 30 seconds to set up a Jamie Mueller draw play. The pace of our offense ended up faster, no doubt, but it doesn't have to be run faster than any other offense. When you've got guys(Lofton, Thurman...) picking up 30 yard chunks, drives tend to go pretty fast as well.
  2. Nice post. I'd bet Schouman's going to be planted off Langston Walker's shoulder this season, at least a good chunk of the time, with Fine being our 'glamour' tight end. Walker and Schouman can knock Joey Porter on his butt- and hopefully we call some shotgun runs off the left edge to make that point stick. Walker and Chambers/Levitre need to work out who gets their RDE, though. Who is the RDE for the pink & teal, btw?
  3. Ahhh, the old two-headed gadget play. IIRC, the original 'Lucky Pierre on 3' was drawn up like this: Graham»Beerball>Schrager
  4. Did you really need to include an allusion to which positions the writers have, in the grand scheme of things. In other news- according to the article, both Shawn Crable and Pierre Woods have been champing at the bit for more playing time, and it looks like they may get some. Lucky Pierre.
  5. I work on both every day. Apple has always had a better conceived operating system- from a user standpoint. The Mac is exponentially more reliable, and frankly a more elegant interface. Over the course of their lifetimes, the Macs will probably come out costing a few cents more an hour. Also, I was starting to develop carpal tunnel from working on PC's so much- I have still never found a PC mouse that works for me. Now that I'm back primarily on Macs, the condition has actually reversed to the point where it's a non-issue. No brainer- The Macintosh is far superior and well worth the extra money. My only complaint is the lack of separators on the F-key portion of the MacPro keyboard. All my keys are mapped and I find I have to look down at the keyboard too much, as they're not split into groups of 4.
  6. Get a female dauxhund. Cross it with a Malamute and I'd buy one of those. Don't forget the pound dogs- they're usually the coolest.
  7. If Buddy Rich were a farmer... let alone the beloved Neil Peart- What would they do with this song?
  8. Crap! Now I'm having fantasies about Kristy McNichol again.
  9. That game made me a Bills fan for life. Drat you Joe Ferguson and your ballsy performance! :shakesfist:
  10. To be fair, they did have several years of technology on their side. If UWP hadn't disbanded before the '90 season, who knows what they could have pulled off. Oh man, if Up With People could have flown... or shot fireballs out of various orifices, or both, that could've been the greatest halftime show ever! Thanks for the blast from the past- let the nightmares begin!
  11. Keith Moon. His fills were all over the place but totally sublime(when your ear could keep up). No doubt he lacked structure, but he always made it back in time to keep that band driving hard. For me it's about as close between Moon and the rest as it is between the Bills and the rest of the NFL.
  12. I don't know if they were overrated or just got in over their heads, but I'd have to say- even by Super Bowl standards- The Mighty Bombjacks were a pretty weak act: I mean, it's the biggest game of the year for cryin' out loud.
  13. This last week, on my way to work, I almost made someone flip their car. That was kind of freaky. Some guy in a gigantic, somewhat battered, 80's Oldsmobile was weaving traffic and being a general jackass. I was in the fast lane and spotted him barreling down on me. When he started tailgating, I did a quick hit on the brakes to get him to back off. Instead of backing off, or continuing to tailgate, he decides to swerve- hard. We were probably doing about 75, going down a pretty steep, curvy stretch of the freeway. His car had absolutely no firmness in the suspension, and I could see the right(uphill) side of his car lifting off the pavement (as he was cutting directly across 3 lanes of traffic). He was able to pull left and regain control without hitting anyone- thank god. About 30 seconds later he caught up to me again and I looked over. He didn't notice I existed, as he was busy yelling at somebody on his cel phone. He got through some nearby traffic and continued wobbling around the various lanes, off to whatever hell he was off to. I think I'll stick to spraying tailgaters with my windshield washers in the future- it's usually good for a laugh if they've got their windows down.
  14. Perhaps they can rename themselves the Los Angeles Angels of San Francisco while they're up in the bay area- to make your decision easier. Heck, they used to just call themselves the California Angels so any wanker in the state could adopt them... Anyway, I applaud your willingness to dump the Halos, though. I'm living in SF and have always had a great time at the Giants games. I even cheer 'em on for the most part, but I'll ALWAYS be a Dodgers fan. (I moved here the day the Giants lost the World Series to the LAAoA, btw- SF was a little less gay on that day.) On the original topic, I don't think it's right to switch teams- with a few exceptions: Your team moves, You're an Angels fan who's finally seen the light, heheheh, or you move on from a team that labels itself 'America's Team'. I don't know if the Braves still call themself America's Team, but I know they used to, so I don't see anything wrong with switching from the Braves to the Phillies BUT, imo, your friend has used up his one technicality bandwagon jump, and is stuck with the Phils no matter how bad they suck, or even if he moves to some foreign land. .02
  15. Oh my. Are you claiming to be a member of the Bills organization? If so, has it crossed your mind that your advocacy of Mr. Mexico might be better directed at someone like, uh, Russ Brandon? Yes, I would love to see Michael Vick at the Ralph, btw... in pink and teal.
  16. dolphins fan? I hope JP Losman does well in this league.
  17. It's not like they've never brought in another prospect before.
  18. 'F-Bomb'. Nice! I'm tossing out 'Squirt-Gun', in honor of headmaster Dick and our big fellers up front.
  19. I hear ya. I'm still kinda miffed they stole Herb Alpert's thunder, too. Someone mentioned the Screaming Trees- they were probably my favorite of the pop grunge bands. If anyone's interested in catching some genuine, Raineer Beer soaked, grunge, Mudhoney is still alive and doing DANG well. I cought 'em a few months ago and they were 100% fantastic. I don't think they ever sold a drop of their soul- and they still strut their stuff, beautifugly. Hey, while we're mixing genres, anyone know the Brian Jonestown Massacre?
  20. Well, I meant old !@#$s with nothing if not respect... stones fan. It is a gru(ndg)e thread, afterall. The hippie music thread is down the hall, to the left.
  21. Well, it's pretty obvious this guy doesn't know what he's talking about... as Pearl Jam IS the defenition of grunge. ... Good call on tad and mudhoney,btw- those are the two bands that actually drove that entire movement- and they were SWEET. No offense intended to the old !@#$s, but where in the title of this thread did you see an invitation to argue about the rolling stones?
  22. Mudhoney. I was living in the NW when it exploded. Beyond a doubt, Mudhoney is as close to the base of that whole movement as you can get. Check out Superfuzz Bigmuff sometime. It's dang good rock by any standard, and it gave rise to the more 'radio-friendly' Nirvanas and Soungardens of the world. Speaking of underrated guitarists, Steve Turner definitely deserves a huge nod.
