QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 09:55 AM) He was practicing for several weeks before the Steelers game. I read an article that the coach indicated he was ready to start if needed by the Steelers game but Orton was the starting QB by then and it was his to lose. From that point on Orton still started 3 of the last 4 regular season games, although not the playoff game. You have no concept of time and how it applies to healing, gamespeed, timing, gameplay and many other things that come along with being an NFL QB coming off of a broken ankle. thats pretty much all.

You must be talking about this Sure looks like he handed the job over to Orton to me. :headshake

QUOTE(crazyman26 @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 09:40 AM) I know he was injured but even when he was ready after several weeks of practice and reps to be starter again, he only started 2 of 5 games including his playoff start. Orton started 2, with Rex coming in on 1 of them, then Rex 1, then Orton 1, then the playoff game Rex started. So he started the minority of the games even when he was ready to start again according to the coaches. Plus he only got to start since Orton lost the job with a horrable game and a half. Plus the GM has basicaly gauranteed Orton is the starting QB next year in a recent interview, so the writing is on the wall. Rex has never been a starting QB in the NFL and never will be, his stock is high enough right now he should bite the bullet and become a starting regular in another top league like the CFL or NFL Europe rather than drop to a #3 or #4 QB in a few years in the NFL, wishing he had done something else. So you basically thought Rex was healthy enough before the Steelers game because he was practicing, right? Thats pretty piss poor analysis and Im glad guys like you dont determine when players come back. Rex broke his ankle, you dont just jump off the bench to play after it heals. What coaches declared him ready to play yet didnt send him out to play in 3 of the last 5 games? Do you have any proof whatsoever about any of your claims or assertions, or are you just talking outta your ass?

QUOTE(Dick Allen @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 09:37 AM) Kenny Williams referred to Owens as a CF at Soxfest. I heard it with my own 2 ears. It may be that the Sox have determined that Pods is definitely not a CF, therefore Owens may have a crack at the CF job if Anderson where to get hurt or something. KW did mention his bad arm, but claimed it was because of some old injury and that they would be stretching it out this spring. It would be nice to have a CF who could throw, but I would be more concerned with getting one who can run down balls. I have never seen Owens play and have no idea about his jumps, but if its is arm that is keeping him in LF, that shouldn't be that much of a problem. The Sox had a pretty good team when the One Dog was throwing flyballs back to the infield in the early 90s. Thats because it was extremely rare for One Dog to let a ball drop in front of him.

I call bulls***. Do you have a link to this "gaurantee"?

LMAO, out of nowhere with nothing to back it up. This is gonna be a great thread. I call "Thread Locked by 5:00 PM"!

QUOTE(Texsox @ Feb 10, 2006 -> 09:17 AM) I was in a training class with an ex-flight attendant who did the Japan route. Seems that in Japanese culture it is important to die in your homeland. Sometimes their timing is off by just a little bit. In two years she experienced 5 people dying on the flights. Couple of rules they had: If you can move the corpse, do so. Lock them in a lav and place in out of order sign. If you can't move them, cover them and hope it's a family members sitting next to them, or it isn't a sold out flight and you can move the passengers. Fligths were not diverted if they were dead. Also, she claims it is against that airlines rules to break up mile high club encounters. LOL, Im just waiting for one of Juggs patented "I talked to a Japanese father the other day, and we decided that Japanese culture is taking over..." discussions. The Mile High Club seems like a leftist nut-job thing to do, lol.

QUOTE(Kalapse @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:19 PM) The real question is, what kind of person watches a show like that? The same kind that is too lazy to change the channel when the wife has set the channel.

I just watched it with my wife. I thought the same thing, what an evil show. And the parents sit there and talk s*** to the current girlfriend. What girlfriend would want to go through that and still stay with him?

QUOTE(Brian @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 03:02 PM) Two thumbs up for a woman to look like that at the age of 48. Very nice. But this trailer makes it look like it should be a straight to video soft core porn movie. Wasnt that what the first Basic Instinct was?

I had a teacher in 6th, 7th and 8th grade english who would give us detention if we: -Did not write our paper in cursive -Did not write our paper in proper paragraph form -Did not write our paper with black pen -Did not have back-up black pens if our current black pen ran out -Wrote our papers on wide-rule paper as opposed to narrow-rule paper -Did not write a daily essay on what we learned in the class Needless to say, she handed out tons of detentions. She would regularly have 20-30 kids in her detention class after school, it was ridiculous. My brother was two years behind me, and told me she was forced into retirement because she had some crazy accident in which a kid broke his foot when she dropped a bookcase on it(she was holding the other end up, and didnt tell him she was gonna drop it). When I went to my daughters pre-school fathers/child day last month, the teachers told me that they dont even teach uppercase first, because it just confuses kids to tell them that the first letter is uppercase and all the other letters are lowercase. I dont remember it being all that difficult.

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 01:37 PM) Good point on Faulk, but take a look at what Stephen Jackson does next year in St. Louis and you'll see my point. Martz has simply got tired of the running game, he just wants to pass all day now. Yeah, but you have to think that Stephen Jacksons inconsistency plus his injuries factored into his ineffectiveness. Also, once Martz took over HC duties his ego ballooned and thats when he started getting insanely pass-happy. I dont think the new HC in Detroit(is it Marinelli? I cant even remember) is going to let Martz do whatever he wants like that. Detroits offense cant go anywhere but up, which is kind of scary considering that they realistically have a great offense on paper, they just havent had any sort of coaching consistency and cohesion that could make them better. If Martz decides to start throwing 40-50 times a game again, I dont think he is going to hold on to his job long.

QUOTE(Balta1701 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 02:41 PM) Nobody beats him. Not even Zito

Has he leveraged all of his assets for this 270 million dollar loan?

QUOTE(whitesoxfan101 @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 12:33 PM) Kevin Jones has gotta be pissed, his career is officially heading down the toilet. you think so? Martz did nothing but help Marshall Faulk until Faulks knees started to give. Kevin Jones is already pretty good at catching passes out of the backfield, he will just have to improve his blocking and stay healthy. But I think Kevin Jones would only benefit from this, he is the type of back that martz likes to work with

this has to be the worst year in Gretzkys life. He has had some other issues this year about his coaching and didnt he leave the team for a short period of time? i havent seen many good things about Gretzky on ESPN this year, I know that.

http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2323226 Mike Martz finally came to terms with his ego and reluctantly accepted the position of Offensive Coordinator with the Lions. I wonder how Lovie feels his defense matches up against his old boss.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:50 AM) If you see the team slip from the outset of the season this year. I have a feelings there will be a sizeable dip in attendance. oh definitely. I think most Cubs fans that I know are quite pissed at the franchise

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Feb 9, 2006 -> 10:41 AM) Why are we so harsh on people gambling on events like the super bowl and march madness? LOL, because the government doesnt like when people are making tons of money and they arent getting a cut.

I didnt really think that something that involved everyone around him wouldnt have his fingerprints on it somewhere. The Great one is now The Great bet.

That was a beautiful little girl's life wasted by a senseless act. If the father indeed killed these two, he shouldnt be given the death penalty, he should be forced to perform Hari Kari on himself and die a slow death. How can you shoot a baby in the stomach?

When I read the Bulls notes after the game recap today, boy was I glad to see this: Just say no to K-Mart! His skills arent worth his injuries.

QUOTE(AirScott @ Feb 8, 2006 -> 05:02 PM) he's capable, but he's usually plagued by injuries. people have said the Yankees gave up on him too early because his hand was messed up. not playing the field makes those numbers more likely than before. I dont even think Rondell White is capable of driving in 100 runs anymore. Even when he was young and healthy in 1997 (151 games) he only drove in 82 runs, and in 2003 he came the closest to his highwater mark when he played in 137 games. But he just cannot stay healthy, and that reason alone would make me think he isnt capable of driving in 100, besides the fact that he could never do it before.
