QUOTE(fathom @ Dec 2, 2007 -> 04:08 PM) I'm telling you, that Hester play took the wind out of the team. Bad luck there with that ball just missing R.W. Yeah, they looked lost after that play. A delay of game penalty and they haven't done anything after that.

They are blitzing Grossman almost every play.

Anyone watching Adrian Peterson (the good one) tearing apart the Lions?

QUOTE(Shadows @ Nov 30, 2007 -> 03:05 PM) I don't need to back anything up.. its all there in front of you the best TEAM of all time is the only one that went undefeated.. TEAM is the key word here, it doesn't matter if the 85 Bears individually had better players.. The 72' Dolphins TEAM went undefeated.. The 72' Dolphins don't make their own schedule, they don't decided to play 14 regular games, they don't have control over time -- sorry years pass and 85 came around nothing they could have done about it thats just life.. The greatest TEAM of all time went undefeated.. don't try to tell me teams haven't had the same luxury of getting an easy schedule.. last time I checked football was played before 72' As soon as another team goes undefeated, the '72 Dolphins will be a footnote. The '85 Bears will always be in the discussion.

You gotta love Lockport...home of dumb criminals and fire-bombings.

QUOTE(jackie hayes @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 09:32 PM) How well does that work? The NFL is streaming the game live for free (go to nfl.com/live) -- but, like I said, the video is worthless for me. Maybe if someone has a great connection, I dunno. It was a little choppy, but watchable. I had it on as background noise mostly. It'd be irritating to watch for 3 hours, though.

QUOTE(DBAH0 @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 08:52 PM) So can any of you actually watch tonight's game? I watched part of it via SOPcast (it was actually the Armed Forces Network feed).

"Hey! We got all this money over here. We'll just use that!" "Uh, boss, that's money's already being used for..." "Shut up! It's brilliant! Budget gap fixed!" Why does this state's government seem like its run by junior college drop-outs?

QUOTE(mr_genius @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 12:06 PM) The issue is how it was handled. CNN knew who this guy was, that is why the gave him this big production during the debate. Not only did he get his video question on air, they gave him a microphone after the candidates answered so he could give a big long winded speech. Wtf? I want to see candidates answer tough questions, but I don't want those questions to be part of political operations for their opponents. CNN really messed up big time on this one.

I've had the new Queens of the Stone Age in my car's CD player (6-disc) since it came out in June. I was disappointed by Wilco's, Ryan Adam's, and the Foo Fighter's releases this year.

QUOTE(29andPoplar @ Nov 29, 2007 -> 08:07 AM) I guess I have to explain this again, the know it all profane college kid doesn't comprehend. I said he had a declining K rate and, follow me closely now because I'm not sure you have the ability to understand this ... He used to be over a strikeout per inning guy and he's not any more. Get it? To be fair, there's a difference between being down from levels 5-6 years ago and declining. One implies lower-but-stable production while the other implies continuing degredation.

I came away from this really, really disliking Romney. Just seems like a slicked-up politician with canned responses that don't actually say anything. I liked Rudy's, McCain's, and Huckabee's responses on some issues.

QUOTE(Rex Kicka** @ Nov 27, 2007 -> 11:11 AM) And it was just a routine burglary gone horribly awry, no? This story is really sad, regardless. That's the story given by Taylor's friends and family. The police haven't confirmed it, AFAIK.

QUOTE(Chet Lemon @ Nov 27, 2007 -> 07:44 AM) I run more miles per week than I drive and I do not own lawn to cut. In all seriousness, any Presidential candidate to make the statement, "U.S. will be independent of foreign oil in 10 yrs." or similar commands my respect. They'll get my respect if they have a solid, workable plan to acheive it. It's easy to make a statement.

QUOTE(Gene Honda Civic @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 05:55 PM) The #1 team in the country just gave up 50 points to an unranked opponent.... They'll still probably win Nope! A lot of those points came in OT, though. And the announcers are just dead silent on the air after the INT.

Great throw for the TD. If that CB turns around, though, he could have easily swatted it away.

My brother witnessed a fist-fight at Meijer over 20" TVs.

QUOTE(RME JICO @ Nov 22, 2007 -> 11:49 AM) Why? Garland was gone after 2008 anyway. Cabrera is a nice upgrade on offense, has better range on defense with less of a gun compared to Uribe. The savings also allowed the Sox to sign Linebrink without increasing the payroll. VORP: Cabrera 31.7 Garland 26.6 WinShares: Cabrera 25 Garland 13 So is Cabrera.

QUOTE(Kid Gleason @ Nov 23, 2007 -> 11:12 AM) I'm not sure. My wife went out this morning for it all and is on her way back now. One of the main things we were after was the $80 Zune at Toys R Us. It's the 30GB one. That's a heck of a price for one of those things. I think she's pretty loaded down now though. If she didn't get one, keep an eye on woot.com. They've been having the 30GB Zunes on there for $79.99 + $5 shipping several times in the last month. I didn't see anything worth running out for. Office Max has some good deals on a few things, but the sale lasts all weekend.

QUOTE(RockRaines @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 06:28 PM) Ya. I have a g35 coupe and its pushing about 300hp in the rear tires. My regular tires are bridgestone potenzas and I have 19 inch rims. Not exactly a good combo in the snow. So I trade them out for 17inch wheels with blizzaks. Rides totally different and I already notice improved traction in the rain. Good tires can make or break a car.

QUOTE(mreye @ Nov 21, 2007 -> 08:09 AM) People still use snow tires? Wow! That'd be a real pain, but I think it'd be easier than switching my mower deck for the plw on my John Deere every fall and spring. It takes a couple hours and you have to guess the weather patterns - I've mowed as late as Dec 7 and as early as mid Feb. At least if you put the snow tires on a bit early you can still drive. You just look like a dork is all. Why would you look like a dork? They're just like any other tire, but with different tread patterns and rubber compounds.

QUOTE(Texsox @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 09:37 PM) As do I and all the Mexican nationals I know. But how much do we want to punish innocent Americans? Shall we seriously harm our agriculture industry? And it is also a misstatement to say all of Mexico believes a certain way. Most I know respect our laws, which is why they are puzzled that we are making it harder and harder for them to come across and visit family and friends like they have for generations. How long do we want our important industries propped up by cheap, illegal labor? If they have always respected our laws, then they've been crossing legally at border checkpoints. Are we making that harder than before?

QUOTE(NorthSideSox72 @ Nov 19, 2007 -> 09:52 PM) And around and around we go... Step 1... Collect underpants! Step 2... ... *pause* Step 3... Profit! Illinois Government. Working for You!
