NFL 2006 Season
Well, if Russell playes half as well as Young, he'd make the team selecting him look like geniuses. The thing about Quinn is that he has never really won a big game, his teams generally have always come up short. It will be interesting if that comes into play on draft day.

KotoR 3: Ideas, Suggestions, Discussion
No it shouldn't. Give me one good reason why it should. Canon is irrelevant when it comes to the video games. The genders and alignments of Revan and the Exile (if they are needed to be known) should be decided by the player, end of story. Isn't it obvious why it should be that way, or do I have to explain it to some people? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Plus star wars canon is superlame

Wisdom Teeth
I've heard having an impacted bowel hurts alot. For the last two years I've sat next to an emergency room nurse in my spanish class and she has the craziest stories. The worse involves a man who wanted to experience birth pains and a balloon and paper mache

I've heard alot about the Michigan St. QB lately, but I've never seen him play. Supposively if the LSU QB comes out earily he would give Quinn a run for the #1 pick

Movies You Have Seen Lately
I saw about 20 or 30mins, of Blood Diamond. My friend Robert and I were asked by the Metroplex employees to go and see a different movie after we "disrupted" the movie by laughing uncontrollably everytime Leo would talk in his (South African?) accent. Things really took a turn for the worse after the employee didn't get Robert's Cape Fear reference and suggested we go see the dancing penguin movie. I'm now convinced that off-duty cops have absolutely no power.

NFL 2006 Season
I put T.O. just below Reggie Wayne, so what number 6 in the league isn't bad, I just included Williams and Johnson because I think they are both really close to cracking the top five next year. I think T.O is an incrediable player and none of you have mentioned the fact that he is one of the best downfield blockers of any of the recievers in the league. But to ignore that he is equally as harmful to a team is pretty short sighted. NFL football is the ultimate team game, teams generally win by executing a good game plan and then player excede coach's expectations by making plays with in the game plan. Turning what is expected to be a five yard run into a 50 yrd. run, and T.O. is as good as anyone at doing so. But when a player routinely takes a team out of its gameplan by demanding the ball and generally disrupting the team chemistry it becomes very difficult to win as it has for Dallas in resent weeks. Because a competent NFL defense can take any one player out of the game, and often times does, it is generally practiced that a player will keep drawing double teams and allow his team to take advantage of the open spots created by the doubleteams. The player then celebrates, knowing that even though he didn't put up big numbers he was equally important in his team's success. T.O. has shown time and time that he is incapable of this. Remember when the Eagles went to the Superbowl they won ever game while T.O. was out with an injury, they only lost after he made it back. This offseason only two teams, the Broncos and the Cowboys were interested in T.O. and it took Jerry Jones offering him a contract that no other owner would to sign him. I'm not sure if you know much about Jones, but he hasn't made too many good decisions since firing Jimmy Johnson. Don't be surprised this year when Parcells says that its either T.O. or him and its T.O.'s butt that gets kicked out the door.

What offense a player is in largely determines how good they are. On T.O., he was the best WR in football when he was with the Eagles, because the offense played to his strengths. Throwing five yard slants and letting T.O. over power his man and getting the Holy Grail of the West Coast Offense ~ Yards After Catch. Watching Dallas play, its atleast arguable that Terry Glenn is actually much more suited for their play-action offense. A couple of years ago Randy Moss was the best reciever in football because Minnesota let him do what he did best, run deep routes and go up for "jump balls" against smaller defenders. The top recievers go something like this: Chad Johnson Torry Holt Steve Smith Marvin Harrison Reggie Wayne *Roy Williams *Andre Johnson (*Up and comers) I think I should also include Hines Ward as he is a player who both is in a system that uses his talents effectively and also works to get the most out of what he has.

Favorite Quotations
Oh yeah, and this by a McDonalds rep: Grimace is a big, loving, fuzzy purple fellow who is Ronald McDonald's best friend. He's sure Ronald is the world's ultimate authority on everything. While Grimace loves all McDonald's foods, he's absolutely crazy about milkshakes. Grimace is very enthusiastic and eager to try new things. His joyous spirit helps everyone overlook the fact he's a little slow and clumsy sometimes.

NHL
Another win tonight as the 'Hawks slowly build towards respectability. I still kind of grimace every time I hear Bondra's name gets called, but I might be getting over it. Lasse Kukkonen is some kind of mechanized penalty golem.

NFL 2006 Season
I have to admit to being dumbstruck that you know football at all. Goes to show you can't judge a grimoire by its exterior. Well, my Iggles made the playoffs, and on the way beat T.O. and the Cowboys twice on the way, so this season is basically a great already. I'd like to pick them for the Superbowl, but missing the franchise's alltime best offense player, and arguably one of its two best defensive player (Jevon Kearse) will probaly end up being too much. They have enough to beat Elisa Manning and the G-men, but thats as far as things get. Seattle will lose another superbowl, this time to the Chargers, who are lead by Texas product and greatest football player ever: LaDamian Tomlinson. Alas, if only things worked as they should and L.T. and Vince Young occupied the Texan's backfield together, infinite championships would be ours.

A few I have on hand: You ever notice how people who believe in creationism look really unevolved? People come up to me and say, "What's wrong?" "Nothing." "Well, it takes more energy to frown than it does to smile." "Yeah, you know it takes more energy to point that out than it does to leave me alone?" I am a comedian and poet, so anything that doesn't get a laugh

I can't believe Slapshot isn't your #1 pick, and none of the Mighty Ducks movies can make your hockey top three? Not even the one where they beat the mean, bad Icelanders? Notes On A Scandal Kate Blanchett is a smoking hot lesbian, Kriea comes in, messes everything up. Good movie all and all, got me a second date.
