  1. I feel like these DS's have been even better than in years past, and we have an awesome Price-Lee matchup in an elimination game still to come! I hope the Giants can keep their momentum going and we see a Yankees-Giants WS.
  2. Yeah, that was totally boneheaded. It probably would have been a close play even if Gonzalez had kept running, but you've got to at least put pressure on Renteria to make the throw. This has been a great game.
  3. Too late! Might as well pick up the Knicks for the sports mediocrity sweep!
  4. It's funny, when the 2 NY NL teams moved in 1958, people in SF must have thought, "Great, we're getting the much better team! The Giants have 4 titles and 15 pennants!" ~50 years later, no title in SF, 5 in LA.
  5. I'm pulling for the Giants in the NL– I think it'd be cool to have a Yankees-Giants Series, renew that rivalry from the 20's and 30's. Plus, if the Yankees are going to lose to anybody, I'd like to see the Giants finally get one after 50+ years.
  6. Got to go QB, especially in this year's draft, where it looks like up to 4 quality QB's will be available. :lol: /Levy'd
  7. That list shows Heyward at #14 overall.... I'd love to have him in the 2nd, but I don't think it's going to happen.
  8. If we're lucky. There are so many holes on this team it's unreal. I think they're going to have a hard time attracting any halfway decent free agent, so if they're going to turn this around, it's gotta be through the draft (which I doubt they can do successfully, btw).
  9. I made a visit to a few Jacksonville Jaguars Buffalo Bills message boards. Many of the posters think they really have found something in Trent Edwards Brian Brohm. Even to the point of calling for Garrards Edwards's Fitzpatrick's benching. They obviously don't follow the Bills Packers. If they did they'd know better. Funny how hope springs eternal.
  10. Plus, after cutting Trent, you got to believe that they are targeting a Round 1 QB. Frankly, if they don't get either of these guys, there might be a riot in Buffalo.
  11. I don't buy that argument because the SEC has only 4 NFL starting QB's by my count (Cutler, the 2 Mannings, and Stafford). The PAC-10, for the sake of argument, has 5 (Palmer, Sanchez, Cassel, Anderson, and Rodgers). Hell, even the ACC has 4 starters. While a prospect's college opponents are a factor, I don't think it's an overly important one. You can find quality starters who didn't play in a top conference (Warner, Favre, Romo, Flacco, Roethlisberger, et al). Personally, I prefer Luck right now, if only because Mallett choked away the Alabama game. That being said, I prefer either (and Locker too, for that matter) than any QB other than Bradford in last year's draft, so I'm glad we waited and didn't pick some dud QB this year just because it was a need, knowing there are much better prospects in 2011.
  12. I'll probably wait until Xmas, when I have some time off and won't feel as guilty about not leaving my computer/not sleeping for 2 weeks straight. Hell, I'm still trying to beat Beyond the Sword on Monarch.
  13. I've been doing Crossfit since May and it's fantastic. I've lost ~15 lbs. but have put on some in muscle. I don't go to a special Crossfit gym (or "box") or have a trainer– I use the workouts as dictated by the website and just do them at my regular gym. The only problem is that sometimes the workouts are just unrealistic to do in a regular gym, or my gym just doesn't have the proper equipment (eg, rings and kettlebells), so when that happens, I'll either substitute something else for that portion of the day's workout or just find another workout altogether (there are a ton of workouts in the archives and you can always find something similar to the day's workout). Faustus is right though in that you only get out of crossfit what you put in, so having a trainer or a partner is better if it makes you work harder. Anyway, I definitely recommend crossfit, and know nothing about P90X. Sorry for the mini-hijack.
  14. At least they're sending someone to clear all this poor officiating up.
  15. After living in Boston, I want the Patriots to lose every game they play for the rest of their existence, regardless of opponent. They are my most hated team in sports.
  16. I would add that no one should purchase, let alone wear, the jersey of a rookie. It's a jinx, and also it's a huge risk that you will waste your money- I remember people wearing James Hardy jerseys his rookie year . I don't have a problem with it, like I would with someone wearing a Dolphins jersey at the Ralph, but I don't think it's a good idea and discourage it. Also, don't wear the jersey/apparel of a team not playing in the game! For example, I went to a game a couple years ago with some friends and friends of friends, one of which was wearing an Eagles jersey and an Eagles hat (it was Bills-Jets). I find this even more obnoxious than wearing the opposing team's jersey in the stadium- at least the person has an investment in the game. If you're such a huge Eagles, or Giants, or whatever, fan, then stay home and watch that game. No one gives a **** about your team here today.
  17. Colonel Vogel: What does the diary tell you that it does not tell us? Henry Jones: It tells me that goose-stepping morons like yourself should try reading books instead of burning them!
  18. I see it too– in fact, SDS, your avatar is now a "No Permission" sign. And now mine, too! I only had a picture of Thurman Thomas...
  19. And Marcus Thames switched genes with Albert Pujols for the last two weeks.
  20. Haha! I love that clip. It's good to check yourself sometimes...
  21. At least the actor nominations lost to the guys from Breaking Bad, the show which has now replaced my Lost obsession...
  22. You could plug any other position into that sentence and it would be true. There are good players throughout the draft at every position, but it's hard to tell who will succeed in the NFL; that's why they are late round draft picks. Just go with who you think is the best.
  23. I do too, but planes need to start having outlets available for every seat on cross-country for us to get internet for the full flight. I'm not going to pay $10 for internet if my battery is going to give up halfway through the flight anyway. I know Continental has outlets at some coach seats, but that's the only airline that does so, as far as I know.
