Did they get Dallas' 1st rd pick straght up, or are they swapping 1st rounders next year? Either way it benefits Dallas but I hope they don't have two first rounders!! Not a Herschel Walker trade all over again!!

And the NFC doesnt suck. They are no different than the AFC, with the exception of having the ELITE teams. The AFC has New England and Indy. The NFC doesnt have an elite team like them. Doesnt mean they suck.
True there, that myth went out the window. Ariz beat Pitt, Seattle beat Cinci. The whole league is in parody, which is what the NFL wants. Only NE & Indy are in another echelon, and even they could go down in the playoffs. The rest is fair & square. Chicago plays Eagles this week, loser of that game has slim chance to make the playoffs at 2-4.

Yeah, but I can understand. The NFL has taken alot of heat for players & concussions recently. Buckle up!
#6874 Re: Guns N' Roses » Comparing Axl Rose to the greats » 935 weeks ago
If length of productivity is the basis of comparison...then Axl isn't on the top 100. If you want to talk about quality, not quantity...then Axl is at the top 5.
yeah, it's a mix between the two. Buzzsaw was right to a point in my opinion, longevity does count for something. That's why Brett Favre is considered one of the greatest QB's, longevity. However, Steve Young was only very good for 7-8 years, but he's also up there as well.
It's a mix, with no exact formula. Bands like U2, Metallica & Aerosmith deserve to be up there for being around 20+, and they are. But that doesn't mean bands like The Beatles, The Who & Zeppelin weren't great, same with AIC, Nirvana & Soundgarden. Regardless, it's all opinion. But I think Axl could justifiably be put in some people's Top 10. I don't think I'd call that being blind or biased.

Yeah, I think GB is decent, has as good as a chance as anyone in the NFC to getting to the SB. The next 4 weeks will make or break ALOT of teams. Oct/Nov is great football. & college gets good too! Man I love football season. And chicken wings!
As for GB & Dallas, while over hyped, right now they are among the better teams (myb not the best) in the NFC. After all, as Bill Parcells always says "You are what your record says you are."
#6876 Re: The Sunset Strip » Lindsey Lohan broke » 935 weeks ago
It's all fake to keep them in the headlines. Lindsay, Paris & Britney have the best publicists in town. There's no such thing as bad publicity, so anything to keep these girls in the headlines generates revenue on some level (photo shoots for mag covers, TMZ exclusives, parties etc). Whatever happened to the girls from American Pie, or Clueless, or Jessica & Ashlee Simpson, they're close to B-list celebreties now because they've been out of the headlines & movies for so long. These girls (Lohan, Britney, Paris) can get paid $20,000+ to make appearances at clubs in LA & Vegas. They ain't broke.
#6877 Re: The Garden » MLB » 935 weeks ago
Yeah, even though it's 2 small market teams I'd prefer to see this over the Red Sox. I'm sick of them & their 86 years or whatever. Shut up, they won it already. It's a clean slate. Glad to see Cleveland whooping 'em.
This WS might be good, with 2 high powered offenses going at it. Colorado is on fire!!

I think it's going to be up & down all year James. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon.
#6879 Re: Dust N' Bones & Cyborg Slunks » VR - Why the Sophomore Slump? » 935 weeks ago
Here's what I think happened Intercourse. Their target audience is too small as far as cd--buying. High School kids buy rap & hip-hop albums, college kids listen to indie music, find bands on myspace, and download singles onto their iPod. So already, they're aiming for the 25-40 crowd. Mostly men too, so slice off another half of the cd buying audience. This age group probably buys a significantly less amount of albums than the younger crowd. I think back to high school, it wouldn't surprise me if out of all the kids I knew well, I was the only one who bought Libertad. Back in the day, we all owned AFD.
As Neemo said, people spend their money in other ways, rent, mortgage, cars, kids, nights out, vacations etc.. Money becomes tighter even though you make alot more. Wierd I guess, but that's the way it is. Anyway, mkt'g & promo was poor for this, no radio interviews/jams when they were in my city. I'm not positive but I don't recall any big RS coverage. Poor choice in fist single.

Yeah I heard about that SB overseas on the radio. Horrible idea. A. screws over American fans who'd like to go support their team, B. The time difference, they'd have to start at like 10pm there to be 6pm on the East Coast. C. It's just stupid, keep it in America.
I've have heard about the 17th game idea (not sure anyone posted it). The NFL would take away 1 pre-season game, then teams would play 1 game overseas (8 home, 8 away, 1 overseas/nuetral). I think after that game they have their bye week. I like that idea better than the SB overseas. It'd be cool if each team was designated it's country (England, Germany, Italy, Poland, Russia, Japan etc).
