Happy Birthday!

I was goofing off but I really do like that song. A lot.

I listen to Trepak over and over.

I'd love to know the logic behind that over turn. I did not see anything that would have been a reason to over turn the call on the field no matter whether it had been a TD or not a TD. And yet someone saw something that they could justify over turning the call. The ref told Harbaugh the ball spot review wasn't over turned because they didn't have any angles that conclusively showed the runner down before the spot. So they were being extra careful and not over turning it. Where was the same carefulness at the end of the game. I do think the refs were awful (I also think the Ravens dbs got away with a lot of contact) especially on the reviewed plays, I just dont think they necessarily cost the Ravens the game.

So do I. And we played them tough both times so that makes me feel good. I dont think the Ravens are that level yet, but they may not be far off.

The same fucking one you were. What leads you to fucking think the Ravens could score any more points that day before the Steelers could? Especially after watching the Steelers drive 90 yards up the field. Do I think the Ravens should have had the opportunity to win in OT? Yes, do I think it was automatic they would win? No. So therefore I dont think it cost them the game. Sorry if thats not fucking good enough for you.

If it would have been called a TD on the field I would have been OK with it. I cannot see anything that would lead them to overturn the call on the field. I am not sure it cost them the game though, I have no confidence that if the Steelers kick the FG that even if the Ravens get the ball first they could have done anything with it.

I will be interested to hear Artie Donovan, he is one of the best Indianapolis Colts ever.

I think its too late for that now. They have been in Indy almost as long as they were in Baltimore. That's awful. Yes, football is a game. Entertainment. Dungy is involved because he is the current coach of the team, it would have been odd for him to not be. In an era where so many current players and coaches do not know the history of the game at all, what Dungy said is a respectful nice thing. I think most 15-16 year olds are smarter than that. And I doubt too many 15-16 year old give a rats ass about the Baltimore Colts.

But still, should they? Dont misunderstand me, if another year or even two are the difference between what we offer and what he takes then I agree the Orioles should have gone for that. But what if someone offers a 10 year 280 million deal? Should the Orioles match or try to beat that? No real right or wrong answer, just an opinion question. Some feel that no matter what the Orioles offer, if Tex goes elsewhere then the Orioles failed. Others feel it is understandable not to try to match what are viewed as contracts that are too high.

The Orioles are in the running, one of the final 4 teams in the hunt of Tex. Should they pay him whatever he wants no matter what?

I guess they shouldnt even try to sign him. Bring back Raffy.

Which is a huge offer so the team shouldn't be labeled as being cheap. However if they go that far, whats another year?

I like the blocking from Neal too. I see no reason he cannot continue to play a couple more years.

That's nothing. My dog protects me and my house from UPS and garbage trucks all the time. If he wasn't here....I don't want to think what would happen... *shudder*

But you know what, I was out of line and shouldn't have posted that.

How was it? From the talk I heard it was pretty one sided.

I cannot wait, I have a good feeling about this game. That may not be a good thing though, I might be a jinx!

I have only noticed your condescending attitude toward anyone that disagrees with you for a year or so. I know you are not stupid so I assume you want to act that way for some reason. I am still waiting for an answer for your reasons why you would be in favor of a national prohibition law. Thats kid stuff. No one I know does that, that would just be embarrassing. Those people are being jerks. There are jerks on both sides of the drinking argument. Why should someone care or think less of you if you do or don't drink. It doesn't make sense to me, but a lot of people do one way or another. I should have clarified that when I think in the next ten years there will be a law outlawing alcohol, I am not sure anything will be passed but I do think there will be big push for a national law.

Has your goal for the last year or so been to look like an ass? if so well done.

Are you like serious? Please tell me you can do better than that. Dont dodge questions and tell me why you would be in favor of a national prohibition law which you stated you would be.

Why would you want that to happen? If you want to have a drink then drink, if you don't then don't. Why would anyone want a law stopping everyone else from doing something? I remember reading about that, they made some good arguments. I would still be amazed if it ever got lowered again. I am not sure whether I think it should be, but I have never really thought about it. Well, since I turned 21 I haven't.

I expect another law outlawing drinking in the next 10 years or so.

Oh Frank, everyone should have a friend like you.

I am not sure Lewis is a success as a head coach. Perhaps if you take into account the recent history of the Bengals then he could be. Even with their injuries I think the Bengals have underperformed in 2006 and 2007. I think Marvin could get (and will) another job and be very successful, I just do not think he has done a great overall job in Cincy.
