It Mabry Our Year

Absolutely. They are a live band. The studio recordings take away everything great about the band and are only a shell of what the band is. I'd be curious to know how many of the people that have voted for the Pumpkins have actually seen DMB live and/or know that there is so much beyond the surface of their radio hits. Seems like lots of people here dislike DMB based on their opinion of other people that are fans of the band instead of making up their mind after actually listening to them theirselves. I can repsect different tastes in music but to vehemently hate DMB is just unbelieveable to me. I mean, I don't like Crash (Into Me) that much but I am aware that it isn't their only song! Too each their own though. 8) I think it's quite snobbish of you to insinuate that those who voted for the Pumpkins just aren't informed enough about DMB's greatness. :shock: was just curious is all. not insinuating anything. Record labels tend to not like that. :wink:

I concur. Part of my faith in fellow Cub fans having good taste has died. I can only assume this has something to do with the tour bus incedent! :shock: Regardless of the poll results I still consider this a slam dunk win for DMB. :lol: Don't wait any longer, you are only hurting yourself and I don't feel good about just sitting here and letting you do that to yourself. You wont regret it if you liked the bonus disc. Minarets, Warehouse and Halloween are brilliant from that double disc.

delete, double post. :oops:

8) My favorite CD ever. Timmy is an amazing guitarist. I am a Dave-head though. Anyone that hasn't ever seen them play live should not be allowed to vote but that just wouldn't be fair to the poor Pumpkins. Robert Randolph on stage with DMB & their regular tour buddies = musical glory! :lol: Check out John Mayer Trio's album. Great trio in the mold of Cream, Jimi Hendrix Experiment and Stevie Ray Vaughn. John gets props in my book for trying to keep blues-rock alive. It's not the "Your Body Is A Wonderland" type of stuff you typically hear on the radio from him. I feel it's a safe bet that it would change anyone's opinion about him.

I disagree. The Rams played poorly last year but much has changed and the '05 season has little bearing on what happens in '06. Given the cirumstances of the team last year it wasn't a suprise. When your Head Coach has to leave the team due to a serious illness things can go downhill quickly (perhaps that wouldn't apply to our Cubs and Dusty though :lol: ). Power struggle in the F.O. causing uncertainty with players and staff, Bulger out for the year, rookies thrusted into starting roles, converting a WR to FS in a pinch.. I am just scratching the surface - it was a very difficult season. Not your typical 'dealing with injuries' type of thing. Despite everything that happened I think they could have won at least 2 more games and broke even at 8-8. Good? No. Respectable? Yes. We shall see where we are on Dec. 11th. 8)

uugh.. Clown-x route... appropriately named too. Stupid Jason Sehorn! Stupid Martz! he should have never let your guys have the OT. We had your Panthers backpedaling and all the momentum was rollign with the Rams. Martz went for the tie at the end of regulation because he got burned in a similar scenario against the Chargers the year before during pre-season when going for the win. arrrghhh That was a great game though and the Panthers played better for 3 1/2 quarters than the Rams, they deserved the win. Ok, fair enough. Those are both very good and athletic linebackers. I like both of them and agree that they don't fit the description of 'plodding'. Urlacher ended up chasing Faulk down the field towards the end zone he was defending more times than stuffing him at the line much less for a loss. Urlacher is a stud, no doubt - would love him on my team - but it doesn't change what has happened. Are you aware of what happened from 1999-2001? - NFL record for total offensive yards in 2000, with 7,335. - 5,492 of those were passing yards, also a new NFL team record. - The only team in NFL history to score 500+ points in 3 consecutive seasons. - 1,569 points were the most points scored by any team over any three-year stretch. *above info taken from Wikipedia They set just about every team offense record. They set mutiple individual records. What else would they have to do to earn it? Sure, a few teams have had seasons similar the Rams did over those three years, '90 Bills, '98 Vikings and Broncos, '92 Cowboys, the 49ers in '89 but no team has ever maintained that level for 3 years... other than the Rams. Love them or hate them it doesn't change what happened.

Well, the first time will be just that - the first time a Bear drilled any Ram. We usually just juke the Bears plodding linebackers and watch them tumble like Jenga blocks. It's good times. :D I gotta admit, the Rams under Martz were soft, but they were the greatest offense ever assembled - so it worked for them. Two trips to the Super Bowl in three years says something. Football is not all brute force of course, strategy wins. The Colts are softer though - hands down. Besides, the Rams are entering a new era and the dive to the turf to avoid the hit Rams are history now. Steven Jackson make it so. BTW, I hope I am not being viewed as trolling here, that's not my intentions. If I were I would just say Faulk > Payton but I am not that dumb. :wink:

Awww c'mon! :lol: That's just a blatant disregard to common sense. :wink: The 9ers? The 9ers? No :!: I'd understand Bears fans laughing and making jokes at the Rams if the Bears would actually beat them for the first time since 1997 (preseason games not withstanding) 8-[ Ready for the season! 8)

Fixed. Ouch, low blow. It's cool. He probably deserved it.

Monday Night Football, December 11th: The Saint Louis Rams play host to the Chicago Bears. Rams DLE Leonard Little picks up Lovie Smith by his feet and beats the bearcrap out of the rest of the Bears' team with him. Rams win 47-13. Rex Tucker shrugs aloofly about it all. Jeff Smoker stands on the sidelines just happy to be there. Go Rams! Go Cubs!

We can't even count on him to pitch every other season much less every other night. :?

Bump for this.
