We still don't know what the left side of the line will look like, with no LG and a possible LT holdout, to go along with no TE and a possible missing Lynch. With a strong NE pass rush, we could be looking at Fitzpatrick taking over for a banged up Edwards by the 4th quarter as a likely scenario.

You can't have teams from the same city in the same division or conference. The networks that bid on the broadcast rights want to maximize their viewership, which relates to how much they'll pay, therefore it makes more sense to keep Jets/Giants, Oakland/SF, and Baltimore/Washington in seperate conferences. A more reasonable realignment: AFC East: Baltimore, Miami, NE, NYJ North : Buffalo, Cincy, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, South : Houston, Indianapolis, Tennessee, Jacksonville West : Denver, KC, Oakland, SD NFC East: Carolina, NYG, Philly, Washington North : Chicago, Detroit, GB, Minn South : Atlanta, NO, TB, St Louis West : Arizona, Dallas, SF, Seattle

Heard a story today that someone leaked that the fix is in and the final 4 have already been decided on. You know that the Goth guy is going to win, he's the most marketable.

The team lacks veteran leadership and grit. Who would have thought that their best players in the past month would be the backup goalies. Tallinder has been bad since he came back, and he takes Lydman down with him. He should have been traded, and make Butler and Numminen regulars. Resigning Connolly just insures two more years of soft backchecking. They should have brought in a couple of veterans like Bill Guerin to bring back some leadership they lost when Drury left. Look how Guerin has helped turn Crosby and the Penguins around. Even Sean Avery would have been a spark to show some life in the forwards. Instead they brought in a young guy from Toronto who is hardly noticed in the games. At this point, missing the playoffs would be the type of message that would hopefully signal to ownership that more significant changes are needed. Squeeking into the playoffs would perpetuate the same old, same old next season.

Quick, cut T.O. and sign Holt.

I don't consider hiring at Walmart while laying off at United Technologies "job growth". Apples and oranges.

Is this necessary, I thought President Chuck Norris of Texas was going to secede and rearm the Alamo.

Or he could just follow the conservative way and not bother with the woman by using a wide stance in bathrooms or chasing after pages at work.

Fortunately, the U.S. built up a surplus of jobs during the Bush years due to the tax cuts for the wealthy who graciously didn't move any jobs out of the U.S. and created a plethora of new jobs. I mean, that's how trickle down economics worked, right?

The difference is that NE had Brady to step in, the Bills have nobody to step in at LT or LG yet. Get some adequate replacements first and then make the trade if necessary. Or get a couple of high draft picks to address the need.

Here's a Q&A interview of him from October. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/20/v...e_n_135928.html

Under present law, employees can form a union by signing a card expressing their desire to unionize. If 30% or more sign the cards, the cards are submitted to the National Labor relations Board (NLRB) who will organize a secret ballot election to determine the outcome of the employee desires to form a union. If more that 50% of the employees sign the cards then the union is presumed to exist by virtue of this card check process. However, an employer can request a secret ballot election that would challenge the card check process and therefore cause a formal secret ballot election to take place to determine the final outcome of the unionization process. Unionization advocates want the current employer right to call for an election to be eliminated if more than 50% of employees vote to form a union based solely on the card check process. No secret ballot election would be necessary. The reason is there is concern that employers will use the pre-election process to layoff or harass pro-union employees and to threaten other employees in a bid to defeat union authorization.

My one issue with the safe room they were in was, don't you think that there would be some communication system in there to talk to some off-site security location? The president wouldn't be cut off from the outside world. If they were able to do that, then the VP would have approved the assault right away. I think Renee will eventually leave her FBI job and become part of Jack's team, taking Bill's role.

Cincinnati was founded in 1788 by John Cleves Symmes and Colonel Robert Patterson. Surveyor John Filson (also the author of The Adventures of Colonel Daniel Boone) named it "Losantiville" from four terms, each of a different language, meaning "the city opposite the mouth of the Licking River." Ville is French for "city," anti is Greek for "opposite", os is Latin for "mouth", and "L" was all that was included of "Licking River". In 1790, Arthur St. Clair, the governor of the Northwest Territory, changed the name of the settlement to "Cincinnati" in honor of the Society of the Cincinnati, of which he was a member. The society honored General George Washington, who was considered a latter day Cincinnatus, the Roman who was called to serve Rome as dictator, an office which he immediately resigned after completing his task of defeating the Aequians.

Maybe T.O. will embrace the Buffalo nightlife; dinner of hot dogs and Loganberry at Ted's, an exciting night of bingo at the neighborhood church, and pick up some donuts at Tim Horton's on the way home.

This is huge! Much bigger than Dick Cheney meeting behind closed doors with energy executives to formulate energy policies. Impeach, impeach!

Ooh, you're scary tough. So embrace his heritage and address him by his proper first name; Piyush.

Why don't you and the conservative taking heads call him Piyush, his real name, since you're so quick to call Obama by his full name? Afraid Jindal will be thought of as "un-American"? Hypocrite.

I look forward to conservatives being fair and balanced, and referring to one of their hopes for the future by his proper name of Piyush Jindal, and not his nickname of Bobby, which he said he calls himself because he was a fan of Bobby Brady on the Brady Bunch.

I thought the answer was going to be that they all played too long and ended their careers with a wimper on teams that they're not remembered for. Rice - Oakland Reed - Washington Owens - Buffalo?

Even if they improve their talent, given their coaching, schedule, and strength of AFC teams, I don't expect them to make the playoffs. There are at least 8 teams better than them; NE, Mia, Pitt, Bal, Indy, Tenn, Jax, SD. Then throw in NYJ, Hou, Den, and it will be tough to be in the top 6.

Current home, but with the white pants. I just wish they would put their logo on the shoulder/sleeve like many other teams do.

In 2008 China and Russia proposed a treaty to ban space-based weapons, but it was the U.S. that opposed the treaty. So if China is thinking of deploying, it's in reaction to the U.S. decision. Hopefully a treaty now can be reached. http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/02...a-china-pr.html

b.harami98's middle name is Hussain.

This is Moore's 5th team in 4 years (NYR,Pitt,Min,Tor,Buf). Makes you wonder why he can't stick. I wasn't expecting a top talent, but at least get a solid vet like Bill Guerin or a power forward like Eric Cole, both of whom were moved for reasonable costs.
