Dr. Tyler; Captain America

If you're eligible to get USAA, you get awesome interest rates and a rather high starting limit. If not, well, I get awesome interest rates and a high limit.

I'm thrilled that Carl Krauser is coming back this year for Pitt.

Pitt

I hate you.

There's nothing you can do. The tracker is probably down.

Try copying it straight from DVD Shrink. If that doesn't work (Sopranos S2, for example, should; it's old enough that Shrink should have the encryption codes for it), I'd wonder if it's a problem with your drive itself.

That's the point. He DID barf in my room.

Hahaha, the thing is, it was already a given that he was gonna do the bulk of the clean up. We had to soak up the excess puke off the ground (since it reeked, and I had to sleep in the room), but he did the majority of the cleaning himself, including the TP and duct tape (yes, we duct taped him to the bed; I don't know if that showed up real well). The bald guy in the blue shorts is our neighbor, JR. He was at the party, drank just as much, and didn't puke. He was actively humping him as the picture was being taken, so yes, it was as gay as it looked.

WHOA! That Mountain Dew prize thing is COOL! I'm gonna go buy a case now, I think. ...

I really can't see Pitt winning this weekend. That being said, I think they'll be a real contender next year. With the recruiting class they've got lined up, and the fact that Tyler Palko (and, by extention, Greg Lee) won't have NFL draft prospects after this stinker of a season will mean that next year, we'll have two budding stars on the team who are more experienced and more dangerous. I'm convinced the team has quite a bit of talent at the skill positions (including the freshman runningback who won the job in the preseason), they just need to shore up the lines.

Ehh... he might surprise you, in the "Troy Brown" on defense way.

I would stay away from Davis in NE. Even if New England has LB problems, that'll hurt their pass defense worse than their run D. Their defensive line is still scary good, and Deshaun Foster will steal carries from Davis. Add that to the fact that the Patriots OWN power rushers, and it spells a mediocre day for Davis. That being said, ARE isn't necessarily a safe bet, either. As for the QB question before, Brees, definitely. Denver's secondary is vastly overrated, and the Bolts have Antonio Gates coming back. I'd choose Leftwich against Indy, also, because Indy's pass D was subsidized by Kyle BOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLER lewis ed ray moving defense.

That's a hideous injury. I don't wish that on anyone.

Granted, turf toe hurts a LOT... but Billick wants to give Wright a shot without hurting Boller's feelings.

2004, the Ravens. He was their 3rd quarterback, which is why they brought him back this year when Kyle Boller went down with a hurt little piggy toe.

The Ravens fixed their quarterback troubles today. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2161244 SLASH~

smith, mccardell, mason. and probably vick.

McGahee vs. Tampa, I'd say. Dunn is inconsistent, especially since he splits carries with Duckett (and Vick). Tampa's D is decent, but Buffalo will commit to the run and he'll probably get his yards.

Damn.

I approve.

Each has a significant risk. I'd say Kennison and Mason are the safer two bets, given KC's fairly consistent O-side and Mason being the only competent option for Tony Wright. On the other hand, Randle El is the recipient of Big Ben's deep throws, and the Texan D is nothing special. The problem is that: a) Kennison isn't really a number one option (Green throws to TE's and RB's, mostly) b) Mason plays in a horrific offense c) El might not get a single pass in the game if Willie Parker runs wild on the Texans Based on that, I'd say Mason and El. Kennison probably has less of a chance to lay an egg than El, but El has much higher upside.

My assumption on Simon was that he's a lardass who plugs the middle and stops the run. Apparently, that assumption was wrong (I was going on Ripper's statement). The observation is probably still valid, though. They need someone like that to let their LBs run free. Kearse sure as hell isn't going to free up any blockers, especially if he can be singled by a TE. Looking at the Steelers, if a team tried to put a TE on Aaron Smith, for example, he'd make soft serve on the guy's chin en route to putting their quarterback out for the year. For the Eagles? Not so much. You've got a pair of smallish pass rushers on the outside, two reasonably stout (but more Sapp-ish) tackles, and a scheme that looks to compensate for a lack of size with relentless blitzing. We saw what happened last year against the Steelers, didn't we? Trotter helps, because he's stout in run defense. However, he NEEDS those fatasses in front, and even had Trotter been in the lineup last night, that's not to say the Eagles wouldn't have still gotten beat up in the trenches.

...ah, the dangers of assuming someone characterizes a player right.
