QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 02:11 PM) Oh come on, you're saying that the A-Team one was better than the Stewie Episode this weekend? Not even close. That last one was amazing. Go Check Knight's Avatar if you want to know one of the many reasons why. "You know, somewhere in this state right now Jeb Bush is eating a live puppy" -Stewie Not sure yet, haven't watched this past weekends yet. I'm about 2 weeks behind on my shows that are Dvr'd. I finally watched the family guy I was talking about today during my lunch break.

QUOTE(AddisonStSox @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 02:08 PM) Wasn't that perfect? That whole episode had me laughing my ass off. How about the handicap ramp in the van? They were all pumped to go out and then had to wait for Joe to get in the van. You're right, man. Family Guy is back on top. That had to be my favorite new episdoe by far. Ya, I loved the handicap ramp. That was great. Plus when they show up and shoot down the tree and it falls on the house. THe guys like get off my property and Peter's like, we should probably leave. Oh man I was rolling and when It started I immediately thought of the Vanagon.

QUOTE(Balance @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 02:25 PM) It saddens me to say that I probably won't buy it. I just don't play the Xbox I have very much now. I think this means I'm getting old. I will be prebuying a PS3, simply to resell. I've learned my lesson and I know they always undersell this. The thing with the Xbox release is it was probably more profitable for resellers because its right near Xmas.

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 02:21 PM) 10 times the purchase price? My parents have been in their house for 20 years and the value has probably doubled. Maybe a little bit more. That's like buying a house for $60,000 and selling it for $650,000... That type of style has happened out here over the past 5-6 years. Hell, 10 years ago a house that was than worth 200,000 in my area is now worth well over a million. Were talking about a 3000-4000 sq ft house on the hills. I think the best thing about real estate is that if you make the right investment you can profit a whole lot on it (obviously certain states and cities have real estate that appreciates more so than others) while not having to worry much about the tax burden (you don't pay taxes on the 1st 500,000 profit you make assuming you lived in the house for 2 years and are married). Heck the past 3 years in a lot of areas the real estate market has grown at 35-30% a year. Thats obviously not going to happen every year, but it definately happens. Its also why a lot of the richest people in the US are land owners and real estate moguls.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:54 PM) The last two games Iowa finally looks like how I expected them to look this season. They still haven't cracked the top 25, and are easily one of the most underrated teams in the country now. I can name only a handful of teams who I don't think they could beat. USC Texas Ohio State Texas Tech (just a bad matchup. They could outscore them though) Notre Dame (if they don't pressure Quinn, he'd tear them up) Virginia Tech I'd love to see them get a match up against a top 15 team in whatever bowl they're in. Head in being touchdown underdogs, and win going away. Ya, they really looked good last week and got some pressure on a Minnesota QB that was sacked something like 3 times all season. They also did a stellar job shutting down the run and offensively they are a very well balanced attack (plus that was the best Tate has looked all season, imo). Its too bad, this team was capable but it took some time for there young defensive line to get things together. The way they are playing right now is like a top 10 team and quite frankly aside from the OSU game, they should only have 1 loss and be on line for a BCS game. Unfortunately that didn't happen. Tate got hurt in the ISU game, they freaking totally blew the NU game and blew the Michigan game. Luckily they will have there QB and RB back next year (both of which are talented) and will have most of there oline back and there entire Dline back. The key will be the losses of Hinkel, Solomon and Hodges/Greenway. Those will be 4 key losses and Iowa is going to need to find some WR's and we all know they won't be able ot replace Hodges and Greenway.

What day are the new years bowls going to be played? New Years eve or will it be done on January 2nd (I'm asking that since the NFL is gonna be playing its games on New Years).

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:28 PM) Iowa played the top rated non-BCS bowl last year. What a game it was too. I'm still in semi shock at how we won. Its a good thing we beat LSU too, because the Hawks dominated that game start to finish (although they damn near blew it).

Ownership has two years remaining on the stadium lease and will like to move when the lease ends. They'd like to move to New Jersey (Jayson Stark said that wouldn't happen) and if that doesn't work they like the idea of moving to Vegas (personally I think we all know Selig would never let this happen).

QUOTE(hammerhead johnson @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 01:16 PM) They'd be a super bowl contender if their secondary wasn't so damn raw. I watched Bollinger of the NY Jets come in and do his best Dan Marino imitation against them. When the Chargers go up against a prolific passing team in the playoffs, they gone. Teams that I see beating, if not killing the Chargers: Indianapolis Cincinatti Chargers will beat the Colts once this year (whether its the regular season game or the playoff game).

Cripes...kicking myself http://cgi.ebay.com/Xbox-360-PREMIUM-In-Ha...1QQcmdZViewItem

That sounds sweet Addy. You may have sold me on adding this to my xmas wish list.

Minus the Bear...check em out.

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 12:38 PM) I thought that the idea of winning or losing a sig bet was that it had to be a sig that you wouldn't like. Oh we'll get him good.

The one where they do the spoof on the Ateam? I think its the new episode that has now led me to believe Family Guy is just as great as ever. I mean Brian going to college and the cripples husband hitting his crippled wife by running into her cart and the makeup sex. The episode had it all

Glad to see it was evened out

We all know a certain admin has to do everything he can to make his choice sound cooler.

QUOTE(southsider2k5 @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 06:06 AM) Bingo. The summer in Arlington effect. 60 days of 90+ degree temps just saps that team every year. Look at their seasons, they ALWAYS fall apart in August and September. It will be interesting to see what Blalock would do in a moderate climate. Is Florida really that much more moderate. I mean its humid and hot there or thats what I always here. I've never been there, but I'm guessing its pretty miserable there during the summer as well.

QUOTE(YASNY @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 11:56 PM) Doesn't Boston still have David Wells under contract? Wells will be in San Diego via trade. Wells has asked for it, the Pads and Red Sox both are working on it and it will happen. It will be Dave Roberts and probably a prospect or something along those lines.

QUOTE(sircaffey @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 07:54 AM) Yep, he gone...But I would think Rowand goes to Philly for Thome. Then Marte for Pierre. That's really the only sensible thing I see out of this cluster of rumors. Thats what I see happening as well.

Moving this to the trade winds forum

QUOTE(knightni @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 11:58 PM) HEY JAS, Can I made Heads' sig for the bet when you win? Sure, but lets wait till I win the bet for sure

QUOTE(Iwritecode @ Nov 22, 2005 -> 09:57 AM) These things are now on Ebay for upwards of $2,000+ That was the sole reason I was going to buy one. I never got around to doing it though and now I'm kicking myself. I did make a good deal when I sold my PS2 upon release way back when.

Or Adrian Beltre. Mediocre and than bam, had what I have dubbed as the greatest single season by a 3rd baseman ever (he was awesome offensively and defensively in a total pitchers park). Of course he came back to earth this year, but I expect big things out of him next year.

QUOTE(Palehosefan @ Nov 21, 2005 -> 07:27 PM) Yeah, what a crappy webmaster. The designer has limited skills as well. I mean what the hell is that whole 4sportspage thing

I still wanted GB to win this game. A GB win would have put the Bears in an awesome spot for the division. Minny has life (just look at there schedule).
