Dan Reeves is using my big strategy
 | He's got the very expendable, yet talented, Woody Dantlzer running the option |
 | extreme losing? |
| I wanted to do the same thing with Eric Crouch, who was worthless at any other position |
| The option works in the NFL when used in key situations with fantastically talented QBs who are expendable. |
| like roberson? |
| Aye. It should be noted the only touchdown the Falcons scored today, and the only one allowed by TB thus far this season, was an option play, which everyone knew was coming since Dantzler lined up under center |
Carson Palmer will be a total dud
| And lo, it was recorded |
| your chances of success are high |
| lotsa first round duds lately |
| His work ethic will be his downfall, and the Cincinatti organization doesn't help much |
| and the fact that aside from a couple games, he sucked ass at USC |
| Did you see the ESPN bit about Palmer being unable to stretch and hating all the fundamentals drills? It was a few weeks ago... but man, he showed no intention of putting in any work |
| He's no Joey Harrington |
| the lions have some athletic QBs |
| Btw, who'll be better in 5 years: Harrington or Carr? |
| on one hand, harrington has a proven coach and system that he is well tuned for |
| on the other hand, carr has a hot wife |
 | they will be equally good |
| Whats Harrington's marital status? |
| single, I think |
| What if he procures a more hot wife than Carr? |
| she will be so hot, she will be too bright to look at, and hence useless. CARR WINS |
| fundamentally they're two hard working, good kids |
Morrowind makes 25 most overrated games
| Unfortunately, this did not prevent the game's freeform gameplay from eventually devolving into one samey errand after another, given by townspeople that all read from the same script. |
| The reviewer must be a simpleton |
| What I saw was an overwhelmingly large world sorely lacking any sense of cohesiveness with some pretty nasty character models. |
| This is so subjective, its worthless. |
| I'm not going to spend effort to explain what absolute bunk this is. |
| Bottom line: Morrowind is one of the most beautiful, immersive and enjoyable gameworlds I have ever experienced. And the story is the best story ever told in a video game. |
| and I liked the movie "Hudson Hawk" |
 | Hudson Hawk was awesome |
| yes. yes it was. |
I swear someone at yahoo is playing the caption game
| I couldn't come up with a funnier one if I tried |
| That guy doesn't look Turkish.... mmm anonymous asian repairmen |
| yes, that adds to the hilarity |
I'd love to see another michigan player beat a manning for the heisman
| Woodson over Peyton was one of the most memorable TV moments for me |
| Perry over Eli wouldn't be as great, but still very worthwhile |
| yes. the heisman show that year was like 1/2 peyton manning, and the rest of the time was spent between the rest of the candidates |
| and when they were announcing, he was GETTING UP OUT OF HIS CHAIR to accept the award |
| I wish I had it on tape |
who's the ugliest player in the nfl?
| my vote goes to plaxico |
| jay fiedler is up there |
| Kordell. |
| he has scars or something on his face |
| edgerrin james is top 10 |
| peyton manning... |
| Oh god, Manning is a monstrosity |
| Jon Kitna is not a handsome man |
| he has the military look going, at least |
| Jake Plummer |
| Kelly Holcomb |
| shannon sharpe |
|  |
|  |
| THE SAME! |
who would you rather on your team?

| Google hates Grammaticas too |
The NFL lines are all screwed up
| Ravens favored by 3 over Browns |
| Rams favored by 3 over 49ers |
| Jets by 4 over Dolphins |
| don't forget the O/U of 48 on KC/Pitt |
| Good questions, though: Chiefs by 3 over Steelers? Falcons by 3 over Redskins? |
| Despite the fact thats the highest O/U for this weekend, its still too low |
| yes, considering both teams will likely eclipse that mark |
| Packers by 6.5 over Lions is ludicrous as well, Lions have a great chance to win |
| Bills will win by more than 3 over the Jags |
| that will be an interesting game |
| TB/CAR is the game I have my eye on |
| I think that game will be a lot closer than 9.5 |
| so many good games |
| none of which are on national tv |
| Whoa: weird one: Colts are favored by 2.5 over Titans |
| Thats a ridiculous line |
| titans suck ass |
| Didn't they beat Oakland last week? Or am I an idiot |
| sometimes bad teams win |
| Assuming neither the fragile Kearse, George, or McNair get hurt, thats a much better team than the colts |
| The Colts could only put up 3 field goals against that all-powerful Browns defense :P |
| I think vanderjagt put a voodoo curse on manning |
| the colts will ONLY score field goals all season |
| That would be the best thing to happen in the history of mankind. |
| better than the invention of sex? |
| Yes. The hatred of Manning is more important. |
| Frankly, you can't convince me that animals didn't invent it |
| I want one of manning's own teammates to tackle him in frustration |
| A Manning suicide would be a nice touch |
| Or a whole family triocide |
| like, they make a circle, reservoir dogs style? |
| Indeed. But knowing that family, they'd probably miss a bunch, then try and audible.... |
| is there a manning below eli? |
| Not to my knowledge |
Brock Berlin looks and acts like David Putty
| Oh... |
| Man thats crappy |
| it does have a lot of cities listed |
thoughts on Nebraska/PSU?
| Nebraska favored by 10 |
| Where's it at? |
| in the corn |
| Nebraska wins, no doubt, then |
| I'd say by less than 10 though, if I had to speculate on the line |
| Nebraska O looks pretty bad |
| that Mills is a trooper |
| I think PSU is a safe bet |
| Nevetheless, Penn State remains Le' Suck, and Cornhusker Stadium confers a significant advantages |
| Final Score: NEB 18, PSU 10: As I brilliantly predicted, Nebraska won, but by less than the line. |
Awesome! Shining force on GBA!
what is with these gimmick football players?

Whats up with the crappy national NFL games this weekend?
| Bears/Vikings on Sunday, Dallas/NYG on Monday.... CRAP GAMES |

Soundless Music Shown to Produce Weird Sensations
| What an strange name headline |
| "Mysteriously snuffed out candles, weird sensations and shivers down the spine may not be due to the presence of ghosts in haunted houses but to very low frequency sound that is inaudible to humans" |
| "British scientists have shown in a controlled experiment that the extreme bass sound known as infrasound produces a range of bizarre effects in people including anxiety, extreme sorrow and chills -- supporting popular suggestions of a link between infrasound and strange sensations." |
| isn't the word music generally defined as being "audible"? |
| The British care not. |
| I guess "Sound at inaudible frequencies..." doesn't have the same punch |
| No, no it does not. |
| "Naked Sound at Inaudible Frequencies" sure does |
how much you think the madden coverboy makes?
| my guess is less than 1 million |
| i'd say $2 mil max |
| hmmm.. how many copies of madden you think they sell? |
| 5 million? |
| 750,000 |
| its like the best selling game |
| too much interference in google for me to find it |
| games don't go 1 mil+ in sales very often, to my knowledge, but I could be a fool |
| http://biz.yahoo.com/rc/030902/media_electronicarts_1.html |
| news release from 5 days ago, they are 2 million + units sold |
| "EA also said the game was tracking ahead of 2002's performance, a record year for the title." |
| "Deutsche Bank's Patel said sales of "Madden" were tracking to account for 18 percent to 20 percent of the industry's entire sales, on a unit-sold basis, for the month of August, versus 11 percent last year. |
| thats a lotsa football |
| whats Madden 2004 sell for on the shelf? |
| $50 |
| so lets say EA sells it to the retailers for $30 |
| thats $75 mil revenue |
| in 3 weeks |
| "In the last twenty years, over 160 million Mario games have been sold. Topping the list, more than 40 million copies of Super Mario Bros. were sold on the NES and 20.6 million copies of Super Mario World on SNES. However, because these games were bundled with console hardware, their sales may not be fairly compared to other games. To this day Super Mario Bros. 3 remains the best-selling video game of all time never bundled with console ha |
| it'll sell pretty well for a few more weeks |
| OK, so $100 milion |
| at least... |
| Giving Vick 2% of profits isn't much |
| considering what he brings to the brand |
| EA has a tremendous marketing budget |
| they could just print madden 2004 on a white box and sell the heck out of it |
| this list is awesome |
| has the lowest selling games |
| some game only sold 11 copies. 11! |
| the developer's moms |
| I guarantee I could make a game that sells more that 11 copies |
| they sold it for $30 each, though |
| I feel like going out and buying a copy... might be worth something someday |
| you should get "Magic Pengel" instead, it only got $113 in revenue |
| there are more numbers after the 113, warren |
| I know, i just don't know what a "pengel" is... and a magic one sounds dirty |
How about them Lions
| 42-24! |
| Need another game or three to judge the situation |

Super Bowl Pick Time
| OK, I don't particularly feel confident about my picks |
| And haven't had any chance to follow the preseason the last 2 weeks |
| But here goes: |
| Tampa Bay Buccanneers vs. Miami Dolphins |
| Runners Up: AFC: Bills, Raiders, Broncos, Colts. Dark Horse: Ravens |
| Runners Up: NFC: Falcons. Dark Horse: Panthers |
| I pick.... the BRONCOS over the RAMS |
| NFC Champions (by division): Lions, Rams, Eagles, Bucs |
| AFC: Pats, Ravens, Titans, Raiders |
| I concur on the dark horses. I think the JAGS are another Dark Horse |
| Predict the following four team's records: CIN, DAL, ARI, DET |
| 4-12, 5-11, 2-14, 9-7 |
| CIN: 5-12, ARI: 2-14, DAL: 3-13, DET: 7-9 |
| I went in your order |
| You like ARI more than I do, otherwise about the same |
| I like ARI the same |
| I went with your INITIAL order |
| oh d-doh |
| <--- fool |
| you like DAL more than I do, then |
| but not by much |
| Dallas is aided by playing the Giants and the Redskins |
| and how can a team go 5-12? |
| Losing to the Cardinals counts as two losses |
| nothing beats going to Austin to see an awesome New Pornographers concert only to drive back hungover on Labor Day and getting stuck in road construction gridlock outside of Dallas and getting so frustrated that you start collecting data from your trip odometer and cell phone clock to prove your hypothesis that you're actually going slower and slower. |
| and my hypothesis was correct. |

OMG, Dorsey made the niners roster
| Doman, a fifth-round draft pick last season, lost his battle for the 49ers' third quarterback job to rookie Ken Dorsey |
| The 49ers considered keeping four quarterbacks, but Dorsey's preseason play and strong training camp trumped Doman's experience as the third quarterback last season. Doman had an outstanding training camp while posting better statistics than Dorsey, a seventh-round pick who has exceeded expectations. |
my fantasy football team, 2003
| QBs: Vick, Holcomb, Testaverte |
| WRs: TO, L. Coles, Chambers, Andre Johnson |
| RBs: S. Davis, Mack, Alstott, O. Gary |
| TE: Becht |
| DL: R. Lewis, Colvin, M. Peterson, Hugh Douglas |
| DBs: Al Harris, Lawyer Milloy |
| K: Matt Stover |
| my analysis: weak at the RB spot |
| but in my defense, I was the 6th pick. Top 5 picks.. all RBs |
| Vick was good value in the 5th round. I think Chambers can have a heckuva year, assuming he stays healthy |
| I am looking forward to seeing Hugh Douglas and Mike Peterson in a Jack Del Rio defense |

| when I set up another TV in the living room, bigger than the one that was there before, so I can play F-Zero while I'm watching Food Network and Star Trek reruns |
| and my biggest problem is that they're both RCAs and the universal remote controls them both. |
| The man below is living too easily. |

Tony, I need to make my picks for this weekend by tomorrow night (Wednesday)
| Lemme know if there's a web tool I use to do this |
| Otherwise I will just pull down the lines myself, pick, and email it to you |
| do it by hand. I'll make my picks also |
| espn has 2 weeks on their page. this messes up my script |
| you can use this to aid your predictions |
Odd. Look at Number 6
| Ever hear of Todd Heap, the real best young tight end in the NFL? |
| Last time I checked... Todd Heap played for an East Coast Team |
| Or maybe Baltimore is too far west |
Foiba, you heard anything about Final Fantasy Tactics Advance?
| a link |
| I'm hoping its like Shining Force III |
| isn't this just a port of the PSX FFT? I'm sure it'll be really solid but I'm not sure what stuff they're adding for the GBA version. |
| the Final Fantasy I'm looking forward to is Crystal Chronicles, though. I've got two GBAs, my friend has two GBAs, we have no problem hooking four up at a time. |
"The man below is living too easily"
| Such a great line... quite possibly a decent pick-up line |
| Also a great way to refer to one's genitals "The Man Below" |
| I actually comment constantly about how me and my friends are living too easily. |
| But how about your "man below" ? |
| "Living too easily" is the best crime ever |

| "Man that helmet really messed up my hair" |
| "Jeez this orange is bright" |
| I ain't feeling this one |
| ok here's another (too big to in-line) |
| "Despite the heartbreak of not being a number one NFL pick, seneca wallace takes pride in being Todd's number one pick in the celebrity date auction" |
| "The un-deniable on-the-field smoothness of Seneca Wallace is offset by Todd's horrible ugliness and man-titties off-the-field." |
| "Nothing says "Its time to head to the NFL" like a fat hick with his arm around you." |
| "Uh hey Seneca, I can fit whole football in ma mouth, uh huh." |
| "During a recent photo shoot, Seneca Wallace was glad we replaced his gatorade with whiskey." |
| "After harsh criticism of their bright red/yellow jerseys, last year's MVP models last year's jersey next to a model wearing one of the proposed new jerseys." |

Wow, this monkey has a 2005 mock draft already
| Poorly done as well |
| Believe it or not, this guy believes the New York Jets will draft Batman in the first roudn |
| watch.. this will actually be the first round in 2005. won't you look like a fool then |
| He copied the draft order from this year, including the Patriot's two first round picks |
| I doubt that will be the situation in 2005, let alone the order |
| seems like it could happen |
| Although, it would not surprise me to discover that Mel Kiper Jr. has the 2026 Mock Draft ready, starting to talk about the upsides of newly conceived fetuses |

Poll Results
Total votes: 2
| and yes, 0 was left off, because you'd have to be an idiot to think none of them are |
| hmm, ward and randle-el, obviously.. |
| plaxico |
| jay riemersma was a former QB |
| other QBs they have besides Maddox is Batch and St. Pierre, both would be better, but they're not "position players" I suppose |
| I bet Kendrell Bell could play some mean QB |
| kimo van olhoffen! |
| And I'm sure someone on their kicking crew could as well... so gimme 4-5 |
| now the question remains, how many NFL QBs could be Dallas' running back |
| The list is very long |
| Starting QBs? |
| not necessarily. which QB would be the best RB? |
| Vick could be a starting RB for any team in the league... |
| He'd last 0.5 games, but whatever |
| McNabb, McMahon, Plummer... |
| McNair |
| Boller is pretty quick too. |
| I say Doug Flutie is a better RB than anyone that Dallas has at that position |
| if dallas has the first draft pick, they take mini-sproles? |
| They take Marlin Jackson |
| They love DBs for first round |
| they should take roy williams |
| just for the fun of confusion |
Marlin Jackson out for Michigan opener
| Oh well, its just Central Michigan |
| gotta love that power schedule |
why are people so down on power runners?
| seems like Steven Davis and James Stewart get no respect |
| and Bettis got benched too |
| i'm all about a good power runner. larry johnson was my heisman choice last year |
| yeah, smith is more of a big, slow warrick dunn style back |
