    ChicagoBears.com had a story about how Clark isn't as fat or slow anymore. Almost in those words, too...and it was the main story. From what I saw when I was down there, it looks to be true. He looks great---and he caught everything thrown his way. I was impressed. Manning Jr. also impressed me. He laid a smack on Benson that sent chills up my spine. All reports since say the guy is looking great. My least impressive guys? Griese and Orton. And Currie. I suppose we shouldn't expect much from Currie. He last until what? The 5th round? Scouts know what they're doing for the most part. And Orton---I think he's just losing his focus because he's been demoted to 3rd string.

    For me it's because they no longer have anything to offer, but they still keep digging for gold. Hey----more power to 'em. I'm not blasting them, believe me. But I don't have to continue to like them. Voted Who, with a bullet.

    The only thing incredible about Queen was their incredible lack of incredibleness. That's a meaningless comment, no offense. Lots of people would say the same thing about Floyd.

    Ouch. The next guy who gets assigned to the Sky better look out :lol:

    wikipedia.com Think about that...Philadelphia organization went from 1883-1979 without winning a TITLE. Then in 1980....BOOM, World Series titles, after 97 years. The Cubs last won the title in 1908. This is 2006. After the year, the Cubs would have gone 98 years without a title, and they will set the record for the longest drought in sports history. Phildelphia was at 97 years without a title. Chicago NL will be at 98 and counting. Doesn't that give you SUCH a confidence that this org knows what the heck they are doing? :evil: (Did you know theme plays) Indeed. However, an organization must also be judged on things like profitability, marketability, fan interest, market share. The Cubs do very well in these categories. I'll stick with an organization who not only loses, but has no fan support as my WORST franchise. #of years since the last championship is only one factor. And that franchise? It is the Blackhawks.

    What more? I ask for production when the games count for one. I think you're right though, with all the gaping holes on this club, Pierre comes back.

    Clayton also posted an internet article on the Bears where he was basically gushing over the team. He was quite impressed, calling the Bears the obvious favorite in the division and mentioning how impressive Benson and Berrian looked. I was suprised ESPN even sent someone to Bourbonnais. They've had their entire crew in Dallas since TC started.

    Seriously, Queen? That's just silly. Floyd eeks out in front. Still though, why should it be silly for Queen to give Floyd a run? Queen was incredible, as was Floyd.

    "Breakfast with the Beatles" was (is?) a 3 or 4 hour weekly radio program that was dedicated to their songs, their outtakes and alternate takes, other musicians covering their songs, etc. I wouldn't doubt if there were other shows like that throughout the country. Not to mention events such as Beatlefest which celebrate the Beatles. Metallica was my favorite band for several years, I had every album until St. Anger, Master of Puppets and Fade To Black are two of my favorite songs, and I still enjoy listening to them. That said, in my opinion The Beatles are hands-down the better band. Obviously, though, the two bands are quite different and likely attract quite a different fanbase. Fair enough. And most will undoubedtly agree with you. I remember when the Beatles broke up it was like when JFK was shot. Their impact is unquestioned; their body of work undeniable.

    I believe Grossman would have broken out last year. Just some of the stuff I saw from him the year before, like the Minnesota game before he got hurt, and the Green Bay game at the beginning of the season. He may not be tall, but he seems like a fighter. Hopefully he'll stay healthy so we can find out what he's really all about in a 16 game schedule. You never know what the grind will do to a player...

    True. They did do some great rock though. I always loved Helter Skelter and Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds. The whole Sgt. Pepper album was on my turnstyle as a kid quite a bit (yeah------we played music on little plastic platters called "records" back then). Metallica is clearly dead. Oh well. Took the Beatles to kill 'em 8)

    I have a feeling this whole thing is coming down to Zep vs. Beatles. That will be a hell of a battle if it happens.

    How old are you? Why should that matter? I like Metallica more than the Beatles. It's my opinion. How old are you? No offense intended. I'm not questioning which band you like more. I just wondered which generation you were referring to. I figure if there is any generation that would call Metallica "the great band" of its time, it would be mine (I'm 28). But I figure most people in my generation would consider U2 *THE* great band of my generation, even though they've sucked pretty bad for a while, imo. Understood. I'm in my 30's.....that's as much as you'll get from me :) U2 was a big band, but I don't recall their concerts being the mass events that Metallica's were. I also don't recall any radio stations doing 2 hours of "Mandatory U2." Hundreds of them across the country did shows where the only thing they played was Metallica. Come to think of it, I don't recall any stations doing that even for the Beatles. I'm a U2 fan, but I just never saw them as inspiring the kind of rabid following that Metallica did for a long, long time. Maybe I just never walked in those circles.

    Whoops, you've got the Beatles roundup instead of Floyd, Der. Voted Queen. Difficult though, I love Pink Floyd too.

    Sounds precautionary. I hope. This is why you keep TJ for one more season. Say what you want folks. We still don't know what we really have in Benson. Not until he puts in a full, solid season. I'd trade TJ for some bigtime draft picks, but if that's not possible, I'm all for keeping him. I'm still not convinced Peterson would be a great #2. I think he's good for a game or two a year, but not much else. I agree on Peterson. And I just want one more year with TJ on the team to satisfy any remaining doubts about Benson.

    Then the world does, indeed, suck.

    Haha. I went with Satan. God doesn't care about baseball.

    *whew* Sorry, I just couldn't do it. Yes, I know the Beatles are widely regarded as the greatest rock band ever. Yes, I know many other bands would not have existed without them. Yes, I know they are going to dominate this matchup. Couldn't vote for them. I voted Metallica. I didn't grow up on the Beatles......I grew up on Metallica. The early stuff. The great stuff. Metallica was *THE* great band of my generation. I thought I would vote Beatles, but then I just couldn't do it. I'm not passionate about the Beatles, just very very respectful.

    Can you imagine the hell that's gonna break loose if ARam opts out? Wow. All kinds of crap is going to explode if that happens. Talk about no offense.

    Poor babies, they have to get up like the rest of the world and be at work. Awwww :roll:
