do you know they put an O in Plum Boro? sacrilege to try to bring it out to the burbs that way.

I only recently found out about that. I might have to try it out, as it's closer to me and they probably have parking.

you must be a pointyhead having gone to CMU ; )

Guilty as charged.

Watch a game on ESPN classic from the 80's and it's shocking how much better the quality of play was then compared with today's game.

The game will be over by halftime when the Pats are up 21-3. People who want to sleep will be able to go to bed early.

Oh yeah, they can actually shoot, they have a concept of what it means to pass the ball, there's defense (of course with the shooting percentage in today's game I can see why nobody bothers to play defense). The NBA needs a lot of help.

If Philly falls behind early I can see them start to panic and begin to turn the ball over. If that happens the game will get away from Philly very quickly.

I remember back then it was considered a great defensive accomplishment to hold a team under 100 points.

The former. Mike Brady was the only architect I'd ever heard of, and what kind of role model is that? He designed his own house and he has 6 kids sharing one bathroom?

He was rehearsing "Hey Jude" yesterday, so don't be surprised if you hear it.

They do, but it's brutal. 5 years of hell if you don't get weeded out before that.

'Why can't they just give us Toby Keith, George Strait, and Dolly Parton for the Superbowl and dispense with all the Pop crap?! That's real Americana.'

And better music.
