  1. That's flawed reasoning. Look at the last inning- Tigers made another stupid error
  2. I bet Slapnuts is turning into a big block of ice just thinking about it.
  3. It's a reference to a comic book
  4. Yea, that only worked once. Sorry alf
  5. Anyone know how long a torn mensicus usually leaves you out for? This really sucks, b/c it looks like they were going to do something with Regal.

  7. There wasn't one. For the rest of the season, NBC picks one game to make it its primetime game

  9. Chandler isn't giving up the 'Friday Night' game By William Keck, USA TODAY LOS ANGELES — In the pilot episode of NBC's Friday Night Lights, a retired coach of a winning high school football team warns his young replacement: "With expectations like this, the only place you can go is down. That's the problem with being this good." It is a line of dialogue that has proved haunting to the show's star, Kyle Chandler, who plays that inexperienced coach. After celebrating across-the-board positive reviews, Chandler has had to fight to keep up his spirits in the face of disappointing ratings. Although the show's numbers were up last week — 6.6 million viewers from 5.9 million the week before — it still got brutally tackled by CBS' NCIS (15.9 million) and ABC's Dancing With the Stars (21.3 million). Lights' fourth episode (of nine filmed so far) airs tonight (8 ET/PT). Chandler, using a football metaphor, is hopeful. "I know we got a damn good team and can make it through the season," he says in a native Georgian drawl that has become more pronounced while shooting Lights in Austin. "We're slowly moving the ball down the field. That's why I'll do anything to keep this show on the air." Chandler, over breakfast after spending a rare night with his L.A.-based family, says that if ratings rise enough, he'll relocate wife Katherine and daughters Sydney, 10, and Sawyer, 5, to a house in Austin, where he now shares an apartment with some exotic fish. This morning, with his scruffy hair, unshaven face and solid 6-foot-1 frame, there is no trace of the roly-poly 5-foot-5, 125-pound kid who once played football at George Walton Academy in Monroe, Ga. But he still displays a hint of the boyish all-American actor audiences first came to know on the short-lived, early '90s war dramas Tour of Duty and Homefront. Then, from 1996 to 2000, he enjoyed a run as the star of Early Edition, playing a do-gooder who righted wrongs after an orange cat delivered him an advance copy of the newspaper. Last season, he took an Emmy-nominated guest turn on Grey's Anatomy as an ill-fated explosives expert. His experiences are paying off. At 41, he is now comfortable playing the mature role of a team leader, both on and off screen. Last week, he gathered together his cast of mostly unknown young men at co-star Connie Britton's apartment for a much-needed script read-through/pep talk. But like a real coach, Chandler was proud when young Zach Gilford, who plays the show's struggling quarterback, spoke up first. Recalls Chandler, "He said, 'It doesn't matter what we're up against, we just do what we do and not worry about what we can't control.' " What they can't control is Dancing With the Stars, the reality competition powerhouse that inspires Chandler to connect to a line of dialogue his character spoke in last week's episode: "We oughta be beating these bums by 40 points!" He believes the 8 o'clock hour — when dinner is being served — is more suited to an easy-to-digest show like Dancing, as opposed to Lights, a drama focusing on a financially strapped community, a quadriplegic athlete, racism and a grandmother with dementia. A switch to 9 p.m., he says, might be "more appropriate." NBC seemingly agrees. Next week, Lights will get a special tryout Monday at 10 p.m. (ET/PT) after NBC's biggest new hit, Heroes, in the time slot normally filled by the declining Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The same Lights episode will air the next day in its regular slot. Last week, the network announced plans to fill the 8 to 9 p.m. hours entirely with less costly reality and competition shows. If Lights survives beyond November sweeps, it will likely be moved. NBC Entertainment president Kevin Reilly says: "We plan to stick with Friday Night Lights. I know we're striking a chord with the viewers who have found it." Says Chandler: "Everyone's rooting for us, and things are changing."

  18. Prestige won't be a best picture contender. Only has a 66 metacritic rating.

  22. It's so cute when Jerk gets in one of his moods. I wonder if the next morning he'll edit all his posts. I think Jerk just refuted history with that quote.
  23. Yes, because I couldn't have possibly been able to read about the trial or seen any of the countless news specials. Uh-oh, I think Jerk has a file on me that dates back years
