Whew! What a win by the Giants! Over 300 yards rushing! Unbelievable, helluva a game. I was a little worried about our D in the 1st half, but they stepped up in the 2nd half and made stops when they had to.
What the hell happened to the Eagles? For the life of me, I'll never understand why they dont ride Westbrook into the ground. They win every time they do that. Terrible way to lose, being stopped at the half yard line. Goes back to what I say about NFC East games... they are ALWAYS dog fights.

I bought 1 cd and 2 on vinyl (one to play and one to frame).

Not sure off the top of my head of any questions I have for Ron...
...But he certainly has my vote of confidence!

No doubt that it was Axl and/or managements decision to release this through BB, so ultimately sales issues goes back to them (along with Axl not doing promo for it). That I agree with, but it doesnt change the fact that going through Wal Mart would have made a nice increase in its sales. Obviously they were more interested in the up front guarentee. Nothing wrong with that, if that was the goal. But it does effect sales.

Thanks Neemo. I love this kind of stuff. His interpretations of these songs are great.

I'll give em credit. The Cowboys defense looked very good. They have really looked better since Phillips took over the play calling. But to be fair, the Giants defense was winning the battle against Dallas' offense for most of the game as well, until Choice scored on that running play in the 4th I believe. That was kinda the nail in the coffin at that point... And any division game is ALWAYS a dog fight, especially in the NFC East. PASnow will tell you that as well. (Well except maybe the Washington games!:haha:)
I'm not making excuses, but the Giants just faced two teams that were desperate and fighting for their playoff lives. Granted the Giants need to play better, but you tend to get teams 'A' game when they are faced with an almost do or die situation.
Giants arent losing this weekend.

Too bad the Cowboys choked against the Steelers otherwise they'd have ended up catching the Giants and winning the divsion. Giants are in tough. I think Carolina is gonna beat them. Boys are in tough too but I think they got the agme againts the Ravens. Eagles in Philly is gonna be nasty though. We'll see. Cowboys need to learn how not to choke. They've become experts at it so.....
I wouldnt be so sure about all that. The Giants are still the most complete team. And the cracks are still there in the Dallas team, even though they may have been masked for a week. If they lose to Baltimore this weekend, they're back to where they were a week ago.

Sorry, Best Buy DID hurt sales in my opinion. Sure the hardcore fans would buy it online but most people (like myself) don't put themselves particularly out just to buy an album. It's like buying chips for some people, if it is there in front of them and looks good they will pick some up while shopping for other things they need. That's why Wally-World would have been so much better. If some of the people who like GNR but aren't like most of us saw the cd they may pick it up while doing other shopping. Many of the people who are AC/DC fans could give a shit less about ordering online or driving an hour out of their way to get to a Best Buy. I guess we'll never know for sure but I FIRMLY believe album sales would have been around twice as strong. That doesn't make it an ENORMOUS success of course, but doing much better than it has.
Exactly! I dont know why that is so hard to understand for some people. I mean, I'm not going out of my way to get the new, say, Buckcherry cd if it was a BB exclusive.

I dont know how many more it would have sold, but I am sure it would have done much better at Wal Mart. And I dont care how many times people say "Well even though there is not a Best Buy within 100 miles of you, you could have ordered it online". Many, many people will not order things online for privacy reasons. I dont know whats so hard to understand about that.
