Sleeping.

You do know those don't count?

Is it possible he was playing up for the cameras?

Theisman was also like 37 when he suffered that injury. I don't know if he would of been able to comeback if he was 10 years younger.

Since Lou Rawls died last week. I'm picturing famous black singers like Little Richard, Chuck Berry, Smokey Robinson, and James Brown kicking the bucket this year.

No it was actually what he said about Adrian Peterson and Jason White on MNF. I've been touting LenDale White as someone I would want to draft and he went to USC. So you're wrong. Thanks though. Why would he use a scale of 1-3? Seems odd. Why not say "On a scale of 1-10 I'd rate it an 11!!!!" just to increase the impact. What did he say about Peterson and White?

That, and Carter went down to a John Denny vulcan death grip during a Mets and Reds brawl.

What's so bad about Palmer? Oh, that's right he went to U-S-C.

I thought maybe the veterans selections make it once they make it to the list of finalist.

Michigan should be begging to get like a 16th or 17th ratings. It would probably motivate those dogs to play up to their potential.

I hope you're right about Raines. I just don't trust the voters. Unless your name is Gwynn, or Henderson it still seems likes you have to work your way up the ballot. Also, how big of an influence does the sabermetric crowd have in the voting at this point? AL. Of the current canidates, and the players set to be eligible who do you see making the HOF?

Bengals and Palmer both need to take their time coming back. Kitna if he resigns is a solid backup, who can start the first couple games if need be next year.

Vince can always bring him back. He did it with Jamal and Haas.

Read Bill James' Whatever Happened To the Hall of Fame? A great read until the last chapter where he goes off on a tangent and bitches that the writers shouldn't be the only ones who vote. It covers the history of the Hall and the voting quite nicely.

This is going to help your chances Goose.

Even though they finished a dreadful 7-5. I could see Michigan cracking the pre-season Top 10.

I don't see it happening. Aikman, White, Madden, and Wright...I think end up making it.

You should know I don't read any of that stuff.

What's going to end up being the standard for starting pitching in the next 20-30 years? 300 wins seems like a longshot, with any pitcher under the age of 30. Jim Rice needs to pick 11% over three years. Given that 2/3 of the players who reached 60% have made it. Sorry AL. Rice is going to be in the HOF.

You don't tell me that before, hippie?

I just wish the local team wouldn't suck so much. Dan Monson's gotta be one of the worst coaches. He can't get his team ready to play, he doesn't make the necessary chances in the game. He can't recruit worth a shit.

Bush can also give you 5-10 catches per game, plus he can return kicks and punts. It's also likely he'll add muscle to his frame. Making him a more durable back.
