  1. Penn St.'s football program has fallen. Ever since they where ranked #1. and lost at home to the Gophers in 2000 they haven't been the same team. Even before that their stay in the Big 10 was considered by many to be disapointing. Only 1 Rose Bowl, and 1 Big 10 championship.
  2. The home plate umpire blew the game for the Twins against Seattle. First Koskie was safe in the 9th.Than Winn was out at home in the 16th. Than that Friday. The home plate umpire had a strike zone the size of a dime. It was bad for both Oakland and Minnesota.
  3. Thankfully the game was against the Braves so I watched it on TBS. ESPN didn't even leave the 3rd quarter of the NBA game too show the last 3 outs.
  4. Not under potential attack? Every country is at risk. Terrorists just threatened Canada and Kofi Anan. Not exactly two die hard allies of the U.S. Terrorists don't care about public opinion. If they can pull of some huge attack at Athens don't think for a second they won't do it.
  5. All these songs are dull and predictable. Someone needs to come out to something like "I did it my way" by Sinatra.
  6. Is that really the right attitude to be taking here? The comment wasn't really meant to has some kind of attitude. Just pointing, I don't think the public is upset about the photos. More how they can hurt the United States interests.
  7. John Stamos is such a horrid actor, that no way this show lasts.
  8. They still find land mines...sometimes filled with mustard gas in old WWI battlefields.
  9. I don't think the public is upset about the photos, more they know it will hurt the image of U.S. forces in Iraq and the rest of the world.
  10. I used to watch this show all the time on USA. When does Press Your Luck start?
  11. Runs to dock...sees boat in distance...shakes fists in anger...yep missed that one.
  12. Twins win 4-1. Take a 3 game lead over the Sox in the Central.
  13. 1.Stalag 17 2.The Killing 3.Double Indemnity 4.Rear Window 5.Duck Soup 6.Horse Feathers 7. The General 8. Psycho 9. Raiders of the Lost Ark 10.Caddyshack 11.Citizen Kane 12.Blazing Saddles 13.Dirty Dozen 14.Monkey Business 15.It's a Wonderful Life 16.Resevoir Dogs 17.Rio Bravo 18.High Noon 19.Predator 20.Jaws 21.Star Wars 22.North by Northwest 23.Some like it Hot 24.The Killers 25.The Sting 26.Bringing up Baby 27.The Wizard of Oz 28.The Longest Yard 29.Dracula (1931 version) 30.The Invisible Man (Claude Raines) 31.Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (not just a kids movie) 32.Boyz in the Hood.
  14. I've read a few times Boston doesn't want to increase their payroll dramatically after this season. While the trade would help Boston, like HQ says it would to much of a financial strain in the future.
  15. Len Bias had used coke before the night he overdosed. That's a conversations for a different time though. For the Vikings the missed Drew Pearson pushoff in the 1975 NFC championship game.
  16. Just read that the city of Portland has $340 million in place for a new stadium.
  17. It's not James Baldwin.
  18. Impossible for Andy Kaufman to stay hidden for 20 years. No way at least one person wouldn't leak information to the media. How about this scenario? Tony Clifton comes out, but Bob Zmuda is in clear view. Seems like a good way to continue the great hoax. Something, I'm guessing Andy would of wanted to the hoax to continue.
  19. Stolen from Page 2. Minnesota Twins-Page 2 said the offer by Pohlad to contract the team. Off the field that wins. On the field is a little tougher. The collapse of 2001. Still in the contention in September of 1984, the young Twins blow a 9-0 lead over the Indians. Ron Davis in all his glory does what he does allowing the winning runs in. Falling short in 1967. Games 4 and 5 of the 2002 ALCS. Houston Nolan Ryan unable to hold a 5-2 8th inning lead in Game 5 over the Phillies at the Astrodome. The 16 inning loss to the Mets in Game 6 of the NLCS. The extra inning loss to the Braves in Game 3 of the 1999 NLDS.
  20. Guys the discussion was supposed to stay on topic. Johnny Damon's hair is not on topic.
  21. Twins win 3-2. Two game lead in the Central. Astros lose to the Mets at home. Fall into 1st place tie with Cubs.
  22. Frasier as a Private Investigator...I'd definitely watch that That's actually not a bad idea. I just using Rockford Files has an example of an hour long show that wasn't a serious drama, or just an action show.
  23. I was drawing a blank until the Herschel Walker trade was mentioned. This market sees trades, but usually it's a veteran player being dumped for prospects, or low salary players.
  24. True. But in all honesty who in the American League is really that good? New York, Boston, and Anaheim are the only ones I'd consider elite teams.
  25. I wouldn't mind an attempt at a hour long show centered around Frasier. Nothing real serious, more along the lines of the Rockford Files.
