It was never funny to wear me thin. I think he's a pretentious little prick who writes like he still belongs in college somewhere.

Oh my god... Watch the end, and you realize just how bad it's getting to him. That's horrible.

I don't think I'd be in the minority here if I asked: who?

I've never been to Owings Mills in my life. :lol:

The team says that buses will be arriving at Owings Mills Mall, directly in front of Boscov's, between 12:30 and 1AM the night after the game. Of course, there will be weather issues, so no one knows for sure how accurate that will actually end up being.

Meanwhile, my company is busy adding employees rapidly. ;)

Some stories you might not have heard about the supposedly innocent Marvin Harrison. ;) By these accounts, he sounds like a pretty bad guy. http://sports.espn.go.com/espnmag/story?id=3827402

Except that now there's a job open in Tampa. :lol:

They will still be accepted.

Simmons is a flaming moron. He spends every waking minute slobbing on Boston knob, and trashing the places that are easy to trash (Clippers, Lions, etc.). The only thing on that site worse than him is the guy who writes music reviews (ON ESPN. seriously.). Not to mention that he absolutely sucks at making picks. I'm consoled by the fact that (as evidenced by his podcasts) he has the absolute whiniest voice I've ever heard.

Saw this coming long before Shanahan. I'm surprised it didn't happen earlier.

Woodson said on NFLN the other day that, if the Hall of Fame made him pick, he'd go in as a Steeler. So that doesn't surprise me.

That is huge, huge news.

Honestly, I think most places usually only carry the replicas. I know Shenk and Tittle in White Marsh Mall has authentics, but I don't know how many or of which player; there's more of those around town anyway. It wouldn't hurt to call around though. Grab a phonebook and call your local Dick's, Sports Authority, Shenk & Tittle, etc.

Yes, most of Maryland's stores were eliminated in the November bankruptcy, but now Circuit City no longer exists. Shame. http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=206...&refer=home

Your explanation couldn't be more wrong. Just by your definition, every position is a "need." The only understandable way to define drafting by need is when a team intentionally drafts to fill the one or two most glaring holes early in the order. Heap wasn't a "need," but we knew that Sharpe was leaving/that we couldn't resign him after the season. You could call Reed a need in 2002, but we needed to restock a lot of defensive positions (a lot of folks then had Dwight Freeney becoming a Raven). You can't call wanting Leftwich drafting for need, because we grabbed the best player at the spot we were in then, too. Boller is borderline drafting for need, because Billick was so enamored with him as an overall player. You can say that we targeted Clayton, Ngata, and Grubbs in successive years, too, but that doesn't mean we drafted any of them based purely on need. I don't think there's much merit in you denouncing the BPA philosophy, because the teams that tend to use it the most--and use it most effectively--tend to walk away with the best looking picks and best looking roster.

According to AccuWeather.com: 27F at kickoff (6:30 PM). Snowfall persistent throughout the game, but tapering off late. No accumulation expected. Winds WSW at 5-10 MPH. Wind won't be a factor, but moisture, temperature, and visibility definitely will. Oh boy.

Damn, we got them up at the exact same minute. :lol: This could be interesting.

If you want to keep thinking about worst case scenarios, feel free. I'm trying to hope for the best, and think that Washington doing his job will do well to get us there.

No, Walker will most likely cover Ward and the Washington twins will be split out with one another. The play of one corner only helps the play of another; don't be so ridiculous. If Washington does his job, the QB has to force passes in one direction or another, etc. I think Washington keeping pace with his excellent play lately (excluding last week) is the key for the secondary.

His stock has dropped because other excellent players have entered into the mix. You know as well as I do that WR is a hit or miss position, and DHB/Harvin are two very iffy players. Whether or not you consider the offense he played around, DHB didn't put up the numbers a first rounder usually does, and (as Cleet mentioned a few days ago) Harvin reminds me too much of Peter Warrick, only faster and less shifty.
