well now...who is gonna take a chance on this guy
Actually it wouldn't be a bad pickup for alot of teams.. Not necesarily as a starter, but as a backup with a chance to compete for the #1 spot in training camp. Teams like the Jets, SF, Miami, ATL, STL, KC, Balt and probably 1 or 2 others need a starting QB, and a decent backup QB as well. I'd possibly trade a 4th rd pick for him. Nothing higher, but it never hurts to have some competition. This guys crazy though if he thinks he's good enough to be GIVEN a starting job, I'd look at it like the Browns of this year, Charlie Frye & Derek Anderson 1 & 2, but Anderson beat him out & won in the end. That's the best JP can hope for, a #2 spot with a chance. Although, that's kinda what he had in Buffalo isn't it??

all true but in regards to the bolded part....yes it was put out to recoup the costs of CD, but in reality they could have released GH and CD and been that much farter ahead...i was saying from a buisness point of veiw that the CD money is still a lost expense untill CD is actually released, cuz that money was spent on CD ... not on GH, as you can plainly see from the packaging of the peice of shit
I think Neemo's right on this one. The label would have made that much money anyway. So it wasn't worth them investing $13 mil into the project, they already had roughly 3 million GH sales coming to them. Nowadays they probably wouldn't have sold that many but nobody would have predicted that back then, plus it probably would have sold a good amount. It's like ordering a seafood sampler at a resturant that comes with Shrimp, scallops, fish, mussels and king crab legs, and the waiter coming over and telling you there are no more king crab legs left. When you ask for a discount or something he tells you "Why, we're giving you Shrimp, scallops, fish, & mussels aren't we??".

^^ You have a good point about Minn & Detroit, but maybe they could play in college stadiums or something. Could you imagine the Red Wings at Michigan?!
Philly's too warm to try it on New Years. The last few years it's been about 60 or so, this year was colder, 40's maybe. But it wouldn't surprise me if they jump on the bandwagon next year & have a game or two outside in February. I think all northern teams should try it out. The southern state fans would probably enjoy watching it. Only problem is the Eagles owners an ass & thinks he owns his stadium even though taxes paid for 60% of it. They might have to play in the baseball stadium, which is just as nice. Anyway, I think the NHL will continue this & northern teams should try 2-4 outside games/year.

Honestly, I know this sounds crazy, but I think Colt Brennan will be the best pro QB of this year. And the last few. He might even fall into the 2nd round, since all playoff teams have a good QB (possibly except TB since Garcia is old, Seattle might look at him as the future). Anyway, I know he looked awful against Georgia but they were sacking him with a 3 man rush?! I don't care if it's Reggie White, Bruce Smith & Warren Sapp on the D-Line you shouldn't get blitzed off a 3 man rush. O-Line was high school caliber.
#6635 Re: The Garden » Iowa Caucus. Lets hear your predictions! » 984 weeks ago
Hilary > Obama > Edwards
Romney > Huckabee > Whoever
Not saying my faorite, just my predictions. I do think Hilary will slide & someone else will rise up for the Dems. I'm not ruling Obama out, but James I think you might be right, Edwards has that Presidential vibe, although I feel Obama would make a better Prez. Also, keep in mind Edwards hasn't been Senator for very long either, only like 6 or 8 years. And used to file multi-million dollar malpractice lawsuits against Insurance companies, hence raising rates making them unaffordable. People forget JFK was only Senator for a few years also, and didn't particularly like the job either. He was in 3rd place at one point in the Presidential election, and came up to win it.
Overall, I think Michael Bloomburg (current mayor of NYC) will announce his candidacy in the summertime & make a good run at it like Perot did in 92, might even win it.
#6636 Re: The Garden » Driver Charged With, Killing Mom and 4 Kids » 984 weeks ago
I did some stupid shit when I was younger, and feel bleesed it never ended this way. I have a cousin who's younger (about 24) & occasionally she'll stay over at my place. She goes to bars & parties it up etc etc with friends. On one hand, I feel like mentioning to her that myb she shouldn't be doing this & using my place anymore... but on the other I realize how responsible she is for her age because she never drives. Ever since she was 21 she'd always take a cab with her friends. So it's like they ARE doing the right thing. I couldn't live with myself if she got a DUI or worse. So I let it slide. Just sucks getting woken up at 4:30 am to them eating my Ice Cream Sandwich Sundae Ice Cream..
Although it's payback time when I wake up at 8am and start brewing my Starbucks!!

^^ They also have Scott Baio is 45 & pregnant. Because he's now married & his wife is preggo's.
Anyway, we haven't seen the worst of reality TV. With the writers strike going on, most written shows are not coming back. Therefore, the networks have to fill them with crap, last second reality shows. Buckle up!!

I wish I saw it, that wouldve been funny to see someone's classmate on a TV show. Especially one like "Wife-Swap"
#6639 Re: The Garden » What Other Sites Do You Post At? » 984 weeks ago
I used to post at HTGTH until just over a year ago. Now I mainly post here, sometimes I check out a Philly related site (Phillyblog.com). Also I sometimes post & read Craigslist Rants & Raves section, but due to company blocking I cannot access it while at work. Also occasionally I'll goto Yahoo Answers.

I agree with you about Martz & not running. For Millen, CJ is a good player but IMHO Detroit should NOT get a WR, RB, or QB in the first round. They always draft them (Harrington, Kevin Jones, Too many WR's to list). Defense wins championships. Plus QB's are so hit or miss early on, JaMarcus Russel looks like crap so far, Alex Smith has 1 more year before giving up on him, Eli & Rivers are hanging in there. Odds of them suceeding are about as good in the 2nd or 3rd rd anyway. Look are Romo, Warner, Derek Anderson etc
