Spen

I was more worried by the almost interception Joe threw.

I never was, I just thought it was nice of you to make the offer. I am happy enough with the one I have. After this long I finally have all the settings the way I like so I no longer fool with it every time we watch a movie and irritate my wife!

Oh I thought this was a masturbation euphemism.

They really played well today. The Browns had periods of time where they just could not stop the run. If Cundiff would have been better the game would have been over a lot earlier.

Yes, thats what I meant. I could have been clearer. Sorry if you thought it was a dig Cravn.

Its always a compliment. I was being serious.

You're a nice guy Cravn. It's nice to "know" you.

I wanted a system for the same reasons you listed. Not being a huge audiophile I wanted ease so I bought a "Home Theater in a Box" from Sony for around $250. I liked it much more than I expected. I think surround sound adds a lot to DVDs and HD movies. I never expected to like it as much as I do. My wife had big doubts but she likes it a lot as well. Sometimes I use it for sports, but mainly I use it for movies both On Demand and DVDs. Because of how much I like the surround sound I'd be wary of the sound bars. I know it simulates sounds from different areas, and some do it well, but I wonder how it compares to actual speakers spread out. Mine is about 5 years old now and I havent had a problem with it and it has been able to do everything I wanted. Again, I am not a huge audiophile but I like the way mine sounds and I have been happy with it for years now.

I never liked the show enough to listen but I heard decent amounts when sitting in traffic jams waiting for traffic reports. I respected him and liked that he could disagree with others and do so civilly. I also liked how his viewpoints were his own and he didn't completely toe a party line.

I hated the flying shield and the font for the numbers especially.

Man I hated the old uniforms....

I understand where he got control of the ball and I understand that per the rule the correct call was made. I just don't like the rule. I can only think of a few times where this rule has come up so if they changed it I hardly think it would dramatically change the game. If that exact same play happened against us and we lost there would be posters here posting conspiracy theories and stating how the league hates us.,

In my opinion the Gresham TD (and the Johnson one from last year) should both have been catches and TDs. I know by rule they are not but that rule needs to be changed. They both had control, two feet in bounds in the end zone - the play should be over right then. Just like it is over for RBs and QBs who extend the ball over the goal line then fumble. Its a nonsensical rule IMO, one that is taking a catch - and in both instances the vast majority of talking heads believe its a catch except for this rule - and taking it away from the player. It hurts the game. Imagine how pissed off we all would be to have a key TD taken away like that.

I got no complaints. If I was nit-picking I'd say that if the offense was better the game would have been 'over' sooner. But with the way the defense played - who cares? The defense was all over Smith. The O-line was good protecting Flacco. He was sharp when he needed to be. Very good win.

Have a great day everyone. I lucked out and will be going to the game too. I go to a couple a year with a friend who takes a few of us to 2 games each, thinking this matchup was going to suck no one wanted it and this game fell to me. Lucky me!

I dont often watch his show but I like him too. Funny, nice guy.

Huge win. I think everyone played well, not flawless but well. Tory Smith was a difference maker as was Rice. Man that hair pull had to hurt! The defense was up and down. Tough loss for Cinncinatti, I'd be pissed if we lost that way. The touchdown they took back, I understand that according to the rules they were correct to do so; but to me thats a catch. Same with the Calvin Johnson one from last year. I do not like that rule.

I see no reason to expect that the Bengals defense will confuse and give Top 5 trouble the way it mostly has for the last few seasons so I have a hard time predicting a win.

My question and point was why not replace a QB when he is having a bad game and its pretty obvious its not going to get better? For example this week, if Joe continues his struggles against the Bengals why not let Tyrod start the second half? Other than it doesn't happen in the NFL. If winning the game is the bottom line and Joe plays like he normally does against the Bengals wouldnt it make sense to make a change?

From what I can find online the OS is probably FroYo. The Nook Color itself "helpfully" tells me it has software version 1.3. You can download and buy apps.

The best of that bunch does not mean that he is necessarily a good QB. I would like the Ravens to have a good QB, and I think a team needs a good QB to be successful and I do not think Top 5 is as of yet and I see no reason to think he will be at this point. BTW Vinny may have been better than Flacco at the time he was here but thats nothing I will argue. And I partially disagree - a better QB may have made a difference in a number of our losses this season.

Its only like that because it would be a big deal. In some other sports when stars are having a bad game they get replaced and its no big deal. But I do agree that the way things are the move might create a big headache. At some point though...... I also bring it up because I'd like to see another QB get some real snaps with this team, we haven't for most of 4 years now.

I did not mean put Tyrod in for the rest of the year, I meant for the rest of the game Sunday.

It just gets better and better.

I guess I do not know the difference. When we were on vacation my wife was using her Nook Color to check restaurant menus online, watch videos, listen to music, and surf the web. I do not know what else it could do that it did not do already, though I am sure there are things. I am not doubting you, I am just curious.
