^^And I don't know about there but here in Florida you have to pay like $100 in shelter fees.
Some friends of mine from near Chicago said it was closer to 300 or so. That's why they just went ahead and bought a pure-bred lab.

Too many teams in the NFL for one.
Totally agree with that. I think they should go back to the 28 team NFL that a lot of us old guys (early 30's) grew up with. I think we could see some great things with that and the parity rules.
It'll never happen because it means less revenue coming in, and we're more apt to have to subscribe to NFL Network just to see a game than we are to see them start getting rid of teams.

It's gonna be cold as balls tomorrow at the Steelers/Ravens game.
That's what you call HITTIN' WEATHER.
I'm a guy that loves a good defensive game, and I can't wait for that one.

^ That one caught me off guard. If it hadn't happened yet, Why now?

This plagued Soundgarden their entire career. They pretty much became known only for their string of hits(Outshined, Rusty Cage, Black Hole Sun, Fell on Black Days), and in reality each album had better songs than the hits used to represent the album, especially in the case of Black Hole Sun.
When Soundgarden first started to break with Outshined I really didn't like it, and didn't understand how some of my friends were as into them as they were at the time. Then someone had me listen to the whole album and I got it.
Black Hole Sun is so funny with the popularity it got though. People just picture that video and pay no attention whatsoever to the lyrics behind the sorta poppy melody.
A killer record. Its a bit hard to find, so if you guys are interested in hearing it, I'll upload it sometime this week.
If you have the time, I'd definitely be interested in that.
#678 Re: The Sunset Strip » Warner Acts Go Covers Crazy For Compilation » 930 weeks ago
I disagree. FNM put their own stamp on songs like War Pigs & Easy.
Seriously??? They're basically note for note. I'm a huge fan, and I enjoy those covers, but with FNM the variety came from the genre of songs they decided to cover not the way they played them.
Now Flaming Lips doing a Madonna song, that could be interesting.

It's true McNabb's olny Super Bowl appearance came the year TO played with the Eagles but the Eagles actually got to the Super Bowl without TO. He missed the last two regular season games with a sprained ankle and fractured leg. He also missed their first two playoff games before coming back in the Super Bowl. So McNabb made it there without a top WR to go to in the playoffs.
Yeah, I actually meant that as more of a compliment to McNabb, but after reading what I wrote it didn't come out that way.
I'm not a huge you have to win the big game guy, the Eagles have consistently been in the NFC title hunt picture even without any big-play receivers. Imagine what they/he could have done with Holt/Bruce or Boldin/Fitzgerald.
#680 Re: The Garden » 2008 NFL season » 930 weeks ago
Yeah I agree. I think right now, at best, it is border line. For a couple of years he played out of this world, then the concussion issues started and was never the same in St Louis, or his short stint with the Giants. This year he really played at a high level. So if they win the Super Bowl, he gets strong consideration.
That's true, but he has two great receivers now, which he also had in St Louis. A guy like McNabb wouldn't be up in the air at all if he had spent any time with weapons like that. The year that he had one they went to the Super Bowl.
All those years in between he didn't have that, and he didn't look as good. That's why I think he doesn't necessarily deserve it, he's only as good as the people around him, instead of elevating the people around him with his own play.
