Another disappointing end to a Patriots season for me. Maybe next year they can lose a playoff game on the road so I don't have to witness it in person. It's ridiculous that Tom Brady hasn't lost a REGULAR season home game in the last 28 games, yet the Pats have been completely dominated in their last 2 home playoff games.
The playoffs are a different animal, plain and simple.
As for the remaining teams. I want the Steelers to beat the Jets. I don't think I could take 2 weeks of listening to the Jets players and coaches leading up to the Super Bowl. That would be unbearable. The Packers look quite good, but I think the Bears can give them a run for their money. However if the Bears meet the Steelers, I don't think it'll be much of a game. Packers/Steelers would be much more entertaining.
I think they're still in good position going into next year though. They have 3 picks in the top 33. #17 from OAK, #28 (their own) and #33 from CAR. They should be able to get a pass rusher with #17 and an OL help with #28 or a WR with those picks. Looks like a good year for DE/OLB prospects. Not so much for wideouts with speed anyway.
Like CC I'll be rooting for the Packers. Can't stand either of the AFC Championship teams. But if forced I'll root for the Jets. Only because they can pull out a couple more WWE style promos before the Super Bowl.
Anyway, the Titans are interested in hiring Mangini for their vacant Defensive Coordinator spot. It would be a good hire since he has a functioning brain and can make in game adjustments.

why didnt whe get it fixed sooner?
I can actually answer this one since I had sinus problems all my life and I had sinus surgery a few years ago.
Sinus problems are generally annoying but not debilitating. I mean they won't stop you from doing things. They are a general pain in the ass. Usually to stop the pain, you just take sudafed.
I think he just wasn't able to tolerate the pain anymore or it just intensified to the point where he had to have surgery. The bad thing about sinus surgery is that it doesn't always correct the problem as my sinuses have stayed the same or gotten worse after the surgery.

I just saw this movie and the scene in question is intense even if you don't really see anything explicit.
Anyway, this isn't really a ballet film. Ballet just happens to be the setting. It's more a psycholgical thriller. Winona Ryder almost steals the show with her scenes. Great film and better than that mess from Aronofsky known as The Fountain.

I ended up losing because of Ray Rice and his 34 fantasy points or whatever it was that and TO got a big 0. My flex option only had 1 point too.
I have to play the 3rd place game this week which stinks because I was dominating my league. I had racked up like close to 12 wins which was 5 more than the 2nd place guy.

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

Audio link is in the middle of the page.
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.
#1347 Re: The Garden » 2010 Fantasy Football » 829 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.
#1348 Re: The Garden » The 2010-11 NFL Season Thread » 833 weeks ago
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.
#1349 Re: Guns N' Roses » Axl's net worth... » 833 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.

Seriously, if you saw that game, there was zero chance that Kerry Collins with a hand problem is better than Vince Young (who moved around well). At some point these guys just have to get away from one another period. I'm betting Fisher goes first.
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?
