Any Pats homers want to guess whether or not this is actually Randy Moss?

I think it is and find this story hilarious. There is NO FUCKING WAY Fisher is coaching the Titans given all the negative stuff that's come out the last month or so.
#1322 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 804 weeks ago
Ugh. I have the same problem. I have Rodgers as my starter but he's out and I'm stuck with either Garrard or Kerry F Collins. I'm going to roll with Kerry Collins only because I know he'll get some attempts vs the Texans. I can't be too sure about either Garrard or Campbell because they both play in run heavy offenses (especially Garrard) and Campbell is inconsistent. Collins last game was pretty good and he scored like 27.76 yahoo points in my league. MIA defense is suddenly good and that probably limits Fitzpatrick upside. Orton has leveled off the last two weeks and is no longer a must start.
On the WR note--I'd go with Marshall only because he might get a cheap td or two. I have no clue who Joe Webb is and they'll probably feature Adrian Peterson and lean on the running game.
Fantasy D question--got both DAL and MIA. Do I roll the dice on DAL vs Rex Grossman or go with MIA vs Buffalo? I currently got MIA starting but could be swayed.
Gates is out for the rest of the regular season. So I'm stuck starting Marcedes Lewis at TE this week and in the future.

The big question is who beats them at least in AFC. I don't see the winner in the South posing a big challenge. The teams are all average or shitty. And Manning can't play savior every time. The recievers and RB and LBs are banged up for the Colts. Jags beat up on shit teams. Texans have no D and choke in the last minute. The Titans are in full blown crisis mode (see MIN for NFC equivalent) and are going in the tank.
PIT and BAL are the other challengers. The two caveats there are that both teams can't defend the pass very well and NE can just use the short passing game and mix in some running.
SD could be interesting but they have Norv coaching and that is one negative. The Jets could pose a challenge as I think they have enough to match up with NE and they can grind it out with their power run game and play keep away from Brady. The only thing is that Sanchez has to play well and have zero stupid plays.
Too bad TEN doesn't play MIN next week as I would actually pay to watch that game. Fantasy tip--start whichever TE the TEN d is facing that particular week. They've been godawful at defending the TE the last month.
#1324 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's net worth... » 807 weeks ago
Doesn't AFD sell at least 10,00+ copies every year? I seem to recall seeing something like that a few years ago. Add on that Axl seems to have invested well and gets the publishing stuff and I could see how he has a large net worth. I think that number (277 million is the number I got) was a bit high though.

Yeah, VY walks out again. I've said it before, Fisher has no respect for Young and doesn't trust him. And I agree.
Seymour popping Big Ben in the mouth, kncoking him on his ass was AWESOME!!! Loved it. There's no telling the dirty shit Ben has got away with. This proves Karma can catch up with you in the form of a haymaker.
And making Bush a game time decision really screwed me on fantasy.
Both of them will be gone I suspect. Fisher can go coach in SF, Chicago or whatever. Young can hit the unemployment line. Unless they totally go in the tank they'll probably be looking at Ryan Mallet, Jake Locker, Christian Ponder in the draft. I can't say I'm that thrilled with those possible selections.
Who would have thought that TEN would be a bigger clusterfuck than MIN for Randy Moss?

VAN HALEN Spokesperson Shoots Down Reports Of New Album And Tour In 2011 - Nov. 18, 2010
Larry Solters, the spokesman for VAN HALEN, has dismissed as "untrue" a report the MelodicRock.com web site that indicated that work on the first VAN HALEN album in more than 25 years with David Lee Roth on vocals was moving forward. The site reported earlier in the week that the band had tapped producer Ross Hogarth (MÖTLEY CRÜE, COAL CHAMBER, FASTER PUSSYCAT, DEVILDRIVER) for the record, which was tentatively due out sometime in 2011. The report also stated that Roth was recording his vocal tracks at a different location than guitarist Eddie Van Halen's "5150" studio, adding that Eddie is "receiving various vocal tracks from the singer, but not always to the guitarist's satisfaction...it's a work in progress between Eddie and Dave."The report also stated that Eddie had recorded most of the bass parts for the album. The band's touring bassist is his son, Wolfgang, who replaced founding member Michael Anthony.
Solters told MelodicRock.com that there is "no tour on the books" right now and "no new album on the books." He did, however, concede that the guys hung out together "working on stuff," but as of right now — there will be no album or tour in 2011.
Music publishing company Warner/Chappell Music announced in August that it had extended its publishing administration contract with guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen, noting that the band "is currently in the studio recording an album with (singer David Lee) Roth that is due for release in 2011."
Meanwhile, according to Billboard.com, VAN HALEN manager Irving Azoff, who is also the executive chairman of Live Nation, mentioned on two separate conference calls that VAN HALEN was expected to hit the road next year, presumably in support of a new record.
Word of a new VAN HALEN album, the band's first with David Lee Roth on the mic since 1983, first began circulating in late June when MelodicRock.com reported from an unnamed source that the project was halfway completed.
VAN HALEN spokesperson Janie Van Halen, Eddie's wife, denied the rumors, telling Rolling Stone, "I don't have any updates at this time."
Eddie himself told Rolling Stone last year that he was working on material for a new record, but was waiting for his hand to heal from surgery and for Wolfgang to graduate from high school.
A new VAN HALEN record would be the band's first full studio effort since 1998's "Van Halen III", which featured Gary Cherone on lead vocals.
VAN HALEN's 2008 reunion tour with Roth grossed more than $93 million and drew nearly one million fans to 74 shows.
Anybody else get a GNR vibe (cd era) from this press release? Right down to the family member becoming a spokesperson for the group. I think that this will come out too because Eddie has had some serious health problems and Azoff sees a money tour later on. So if they even have anything resembling a record, Azoff will make sure it'll get released to coincide with a tour.

I gotta be honest, I never really reached deep into the Megadeth catalog, outside of the singles.
I'd really like to
Can any of you fans recommend some songs and or albums I should check out?
Thx in advance
Rust in Peace, Peace Sells, Countdown to Extinction for albums. I'd listen to Mechanix off the 1st album only to hear the Four Horsemen sans slow section but the production is very crappy.
#1328 Re: The Garden » The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread » 808 weeks ago
Good for them, seriously they've been playing better than the Panthers (who have been awful the past month) and really should have won one of those games. Panthers are clearly the worst at this point.
Ok who had DAL rising up and hanging 33 on the Giants and winning that game. Or DEN putting up 49 on KC. This reminds me of the 2006-2007 years where half the teams will still be mathematically alive for the playoffs.
And the Titans blow a game at MIA. VY vs Jeff Fisher rises up again.

#1329 Re: Guns N' Roses » BUMBLEFOOT: Don't Hold Your Breath For New GUNS N' ROSES Album - Nov. » 809 weeks ago
Two things here--those songs Bumblefoot wrote were for his own solo album. He already released one when the band was on "hiatus."
I guess Axl was wrong when he said he had 60 songs or whatever ready to release.
Sorry, I'm not believing DJ Ashba's claim over Bumblefoot. The guy who has been in the band for a longer time and is a straight shooter wins out over the new guy.
The Chinese Democracy saga continues again.

Neemo wrote:hardly fair to pin the season on the coaches ... they have been decimated by injuries
No they haven't. Romo got hurt two weeks ago when the team was already 1-5. That's the only substantial injury Dallas has. It's on coaching dude. They've created a terrible carefree culture in Dallas. When things don't go right what'ya see? The fucking coaches moping around the sidelines like lost puppies. That shit would never happen with a guy like Cowher or Gruden on the sidelines. Dallas is fucked because there's this culture of self entitlement. They believed thier own hype and that falls on the coaches..... even though the players are playing like pussies. You can't change 53 players. It's pathetic that pro athletes need to be motivated but in this day and age that's the sad fucking truth and when you've got a coahc who looks as lost as the player that's a BIG FUCKING PROBLEM. Guys I'd like to see them make offers to
1. Cowher
2. Gruden
3. Dungy(he won't come out of retirement)
4. Fisher(I think his contract is up at the end of this year?)
5. Rob Ryan(DC for the Browns)the sad thing is Rob Ryan is a DC and may just take the job to get the HC position and who knows if he'll be another Yes man to jerry. the other guys wouldn't be but Jerry's not likely to give up that control. the dude needs to fire himself as General manager.
Also in my opinion Ware, Dez, Romo & Austin are the only guys you don't considering moving in the off season. Everyone else is expendable.
Fisher's contract is up after the 2011 season although I'm not sure whether or not he could handle the big media market of Dallas and the specter of Jerry Jones sticking his head in personnel decisions.
I think the talent on that team is overrated once you get past the four guys you mention in the last point. I'd keep Jay Ratliff too. They need to clean house and just rebuild their team. The OL has been shit for the past few years. Marion Barber got far too much money a few years ago. He's a short yardage back. They could probably just go with Felix Jones/Tashard Choice as an running back by committee. Outside of Newman, the DB's are suspect.
They could grab LSU CB Patrick Peterson if they have the chance. Solves a CB need and a returner.
Jerry's ego would never want to relinquish power though. He might hire a name guy and promise not to interfere but in the end he'll probably make a few major personnel moves just because he owns the team. See how the Bill Parcells era ended as an example.
