I still say we swap out Major Dad with Jon Gruden. That was some pi$$-poor play calling at the end. Surely, he must know that? Surely? :confused2: LMAO @ Brett Favre. Not even looking at the FG attempt, and has to ask T-Jack if the kicker made it. :D We can only hope that Childress can succeed in s...

did the Ravens miss a FG or something?

I was watching until WCBS had to filfill their "contractual obligation" to play the Jets/Bills game.

Interesting start to the season. We saw some initial stumbling in the more severe fashion. But a nice effort regrouping last night. Hopefully the tough schedule will give the boys more opportunities to improve. I'd rather have these learning curves occur during October than any other time in the sea...

Nice intro into the season Cardinal. It definitely got me further into hockey mode.

Best luck and a swift recovery HJ!

Happy Birthday Armadillo and TXJ100! Isn't July 26th the greatest day in the history of civilization?

Thanks again STG. We're chillin in the Catskill mountain region of NY on our honeymoon. Life's good.

It's tiny man. Before you know it, you've passed through Rhode Island.

Not entirely sure about the tumultuous past part.

At least Jeff Goldblum is okay so he can make more movies where he plays nerdy guys who discover somekind of startling secret.

Huge animal lover here, Have 2 Border collies I compete with in dog agility. But PETA, this is going overboard.. http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,527001,00.html Seriously, they must have better things to do than worry about flies.

20 days of rain here in the Northeast. Still 20 days and 20 nights short of the Noah's requirement to go drunken boating with animals.

Texas is the only placed I've visited where you can have a big aluminum garage, put a few beer taps and call it a bar. Or, as they like to call them, an "Ice House."

I have a fair and just team name that will save Sioux fans money UND Crusaders Since half there D-bag fans already own the jerseys and shirts. And for our blowing up the arena tailgate party we should make shirts that say... Arenas 1 > 0 hahahaha This is a valid point. They could change their te...

I went to the game with my future brother-in-law who's a die hard Yankee fan. Him and many other Yankee fans and people in the media have dubbed this series as "three amazing remarkable comeback wins" and as three "amazing games." I look at him and other Yankee fans with extreme ...

Arrgh! Lack of consistent hitting up and down the lineup to put up a decent threat against the Yankees. Typical crap.

I was at the game today. Man, we were missing Crede's bat. I think Blackburn pitched a solid game with the exception with his luck with Teixiera. Yankees manager Joe Girardi is kind of a doofus. He pulled Chamberlain in favor of his mediocre bullpen. The Twins capitalized and got back into the lead,...

Awesome. And as an excellent leader this will be a great chance for Grant to get his feet wet in the coaching ranks.

Flickertails?

Back to headline news... Is this the end for Brookdale? I was there a couple months ago for the first time ever. What a depressing mall. Reusse had a good idea this morning. He thinks it would be a perfect spot to put a new Vikings stadium. That's a great idea! Every so often Reusse makes a valid p...

What's going on here? Nobody normally talks about politics on this thread.

Thanks for providing the levity that will keep me from violating all kinds of board rules with the responses I was considering...seriously, thanks.

Hey anytime!

Here's a chance for the Wild to get serious and build a stronger contender. That's all I can say.

Steve Cannon passes away from cancer at 81 http://www.museumofbroadcasting.org/images/cannon_med.jpg Who doesn't remember this? I got the money What years was he the Gopher hockey announcer? I can remember Cannon announcing a few Gopher hockey games in the mid-80s but I think he was...

Not a chance Kangas is a better goalie in the long run than Kangas. Ummm....what??? Even if you swap Stalock in for Kangas at the end of the sentence it makes little sense. :D Is DHG actually Denny Green? :D :lol: I think the problem is that Kangas is who we thought he was and we let him off the ho...

Happy Birthday GPL! Thanks Jup for launching and maintaining this great site though the outages and high-bandwidth demands. Definately my favorite site.

I won't have a chance to watch the game live. I'm TiVo'ing it. However, I have my Blackberry. Is anybody posting the score on the scoreboard tonight?

Set your TiVo's

BU and Miami in the finals.

What I don't get is why the Vermont coach has a headset. Does he have assistant coaches and defensive coordinators in the booth or something? Is he trying to keep track of his investments from behind the bench? Chatting with his friends?

whoops. BU up 5-4.

Man. Vermont's got a good shot tonight.

Leading 4-3, 9:57 to go.

BU ties 3-3.

:40 seconds to go.

Wow! Three unanswered goals by Vermont!!

3-2 Vermont in the 2nd period 6:20 to go.

I had an aunt and uncle who lived down in Houston (they've both passed on). But I remember taking a trip to some of the wonderful fisheries down by Galveston. Really amazing seafood coming out of that area! I recall days down there playing golf in December and March. It was very nice! San Antonio wa...

I don't have any insight as to where you should have your wedding reception. But one important thing to keep in mind. If you choose a privately-owned facility, make sure they're gonna stay in business by the time you have the wedding reception AND you can get your deposit back in a timely manner if ...

Hey Dog fans, your team came out to play and made it really exciting. Glad to see them play so well. Sorry that path didn't find itself going to DC.

Congrats on a great season!

Am I the only person that has UND losing first round to UNH?? Isn't this a home game for UNH? I haven't signed up for this, but you're not the only one who thinks that might happen. UND needs to have a good week of practice to build off of to beat UNH as they dont' exactly have a lot of momentum fr...

The comment sections in the on-line Strib and Pioneer Press. I swear there could be a story about a child finding their lost puppy and people would find a way to blame Republicans/Democrats. It's the same way here with the SA Express-News . Four to five people post something relevant to the story o...

There's a story in San Antonio that has all of the folks buzzing at work and the gym. A woman was murdered in the parking lot of a vet clinic about two miles north of my house last month. OK...murder in a parking lot...bad, but not that unexpected in the nation's eighth largest city. Then it came o...

This year I think it'll be a higher win-total team. BU's looking pretty solid this year and Jack Parker's due for another title.

I think UMD and BU will be an awesome final if that happens.

My reasons: 1. They've got the right colors. 2. They're a University of Minnesota team, just a different campus. 3. They're NOT Becky or Sue. 4. I almost went there. 5. There's more of a friendly rivalry between the two campuses. Much more so than the insipid red to the east and the horror to the We...

If everything stays intact this will be one of our most veteran lineups in quite a few years.

I wasn't trying to accuse you of being a Texan if it came off that way, I was just hoping to get your displaced Minnesotan living in Texas perspective. Frankly, I was dumbfounded that a "patriot" would ever say something like that. Either way, that link and STG's comments confirmed some T...

Hey! Happy birthday buddy! Have a great one!

This happened once before. I seem to recall a "where's Hammy?" thread. Many theories were tossed out, juggled, wrapped into Pilsbury dough and eaten with mustard.
