i don't see howard doing much besides striking out in clutch situations

He will have to get back into the lineup to achieve that. This lineup struggles without the Big Boy.

The innocent lives lost that you mention were collateral damage to stop a much more menacing evil. No different than soldiers fighting and dying to end evil regimes.
- JoeRussomanno

so you're saying the civilians and contractor's lives are worthless?
at least the empire brought stability to regions of the galaxy before the rebels started going all jihad and blow up stuff

Do they yell at the pizza man when he brings them what they ordered, but they know pizza gives them heartburn?

*wonders*

(if he should have pizza tonight)

- Flyskippy


Philly sports fan isn't capable of thinking that far ahead.

*answers*

(yes, I had some last night and it was good. No heartburn)

I actually had a pizza delivery driver yell at me because he thought my house was too far away from the pizza place. It takes approximately 8 minutes to drive there from my house. I appropriately said "there goes the 5 dollar tip you were about to get expletive expletive" and slammed the door

Better be on the lookout for him on October 30.

ok

the phillies are putting out a product in the short term and long term
short term it sucks but the long term hasn't been determined yet
i can show short term disgust while enjoying the team for the long term

That's how I felt about Simmonds back in November.

I loved ROTJ! The song at the end gives me goosebumps... and I actually liked that they put Anakin from the prequels in ending...

And without ROTJ there would be no Warwick Davis.. The best little person actor ever...

I know its not popular, but I like what I like... BTW.. Have you ever heard of the "Machete" way to watch star wars to make it exciting again, or the best way to intorduce it to new people....

First IV A new Hope (almost a must)
Second V Empire Strike Back (ends with Vader dropping the bomb)
Third II Clone Wars
Fourth III Revenge of the Sith (Skip I. This acts as a flashback, and introduces the emperor's real threat and makes the trilogy more about Anakins redemption)
Fifth VI Return of the Jedi (wraps everything up nicely, and it makes more sense when viewing CW and ROTS as flashback/backstory of vader)

It makes for an interesting arch... With a new hope your left with that positive feeling, then ESB, CW, and ROTS things spiral out of control and the bad guys are winning, then ROTJ for the ultimate "UP".

Yes, we all learned that Flyer fans are human after all. Seriously, it was a very classy gesture, just as they gave him a standing "O" when he came back from cancer. I still get choked up a bit when I think about that night.

An aside: Is that a young Al Morganti I see going over to interview Mario at the end of the Clip?

- Emperor Filonius


yes, it is. i saw some mid 90s tv footage the other day of a local sports talk show. al was on the panel in full mullet mode.

Saints appeals are denied. Wow, that was some pretty heavy penalties handed out there by Goodell. He has been pretty consistent though.
- rockychocbill


Did you hear the clips from Williams' meetings before the 49ers game? No way any of the penalties were being lessened after that came out. WAY over the line. Sickening really. Dude should never coach again at any level.
