Bud Shootout
I never ever want to hear Harvick complain about someone lagging back at a plate track again. He didn't even keep up with the pack until the last 15 laps. Labonte in a Ford does seem odd. Resident Labonte fan at work did confirm that he drove a ford once before when he drove the Maxwell House car around 93ish.

High school basketball officials
There's really not much difference to be honest. Im not going to be an advocate for anything they do since I don't call bball. I know theres some that suck something fierce. There's also some that aren't that bad that take a lot of flack. NET is just the same. Everyone is basically the same, and when someone does come along that better than average, they generally move up to the college ranks. Heck, if I could drop a few pounds and change my work schedule, you probably won't see me running the field on Friday nights in a couple of years.

P-Line
Two thumbs down. I bought some last year. 10 pound test if I am not mistaken. What I had snapped rather easily.

It must have improved over there then. The Arby's used to be the worst called games I ever saw. Maybe it has improved. RC played North last year and RC's girls coach asked for a time out after an RC steal. The official said he couldn't have it, then asked after RC threw the ball out of bounds if he wanted that time out now. I got called for a flagrant against Volunteer because a guy tried hurdling me and landed on my shoulders. :

Camera / Photo Junkies....Help please!!
Was that with a 18-55mm lens? I am a Nikon fan as well. May get a DSLR in the near future. If anyone has older Konika Minolta lenses, and look to get a DSLR you can go with Sony. They bought KM DSLR to start into that line of the industry. Really Canon and Nikon both make great lenses and products. I have a friend who bought the Sony A300 and loves it too though. For more affordable lenses, try a Tamron as well. They are nice for the price.

A Remarkable Achievement: #1000
Gotta throw in Bob Knight too with the great coaches with great graduation rates. I believe Bob was 100% as well. I enjoy wathing the Lady Vols. They are very young this year though and with Baugh being lost for the year the other night, they will be lucky to make it to the Elite Eight. Here's hoping to another Final Four though.

Way to go Steelers!!!!
Sorry Stripe but your credibility on this one is running low for me. In your first post, you doubted the pick six was a touchdown, and i think that that was obviously a touchdown. Seems as though we can't agree on anything........ ;D b From a goalpost angle that they showed the play it appeared to me Harrisons left elbow/wrist was down with a small amount of green between his elbow and the goal line. I hated hearing Michaels say it never looked like his knee was down, but on Fitzgerald. That doesnt matter. Elbows count just like knees. Heck, feet and hands are the only thing that doesn't count as being down if they make contact with the ground (while being forced/touched in the NFL). Game speed, theres no other call the official can make but a TD though because they couldnt get down the field in time because of all the traffic on the sideline and thats the only official who could have been able to see anything that close to the sideline. Was there enough video evidence to overturn? No, it was very close, and you would have just about had to have been parallel to the goal line and up on it to get the call 100% accurate. I can say that I can make just as good an arguement that that wasn't a TD as you can make that that was an incomplete pass. Heck, the Cards should have had better field position to start that last drive. By NFL rule, Holmes should have been assessed a US and the kickoff should have happened from the 15.

Way to go Steelers!!!!
The ball was not in Warners control when it started going forward. It was put in forward motion by the defender as much as it was the QB. I would liked to have seen the Cards pull it off, but that was a fumble.
-
Way to go Steelers!!!!
The Cards did not deserve another play. Warner lost control the of the ball before his arm went forward. I would argue that the pick 6 to ent the half was down before the ball crossed the goal line though.

Way to go Steelers!!!!
Amen to that. All I needed to see was 50" of old man midsection during halftime.

Way to go Steelers!!!!
I hope the aim is good. Maybe take out a few more idiots. Wanted the Cards to win, but glad a local boy got another ring too.

Will I be getting a promotion?
Well, Ben may just get thema TD.

Will I be getting a promotion?
As for the game itself, execution hasn't been great. With all the talk of how accurate Reed has been for the Steelers, I have a feeling he misses and the Cards win the SB.

Menu For Sunday!
The only thing better about Thanksgiving is that its guaranteed the Cowboys will be playing, although that should be guaranteed for the Super Bowl as well.

Another reason why California SUCKS!!!! Episode #2
This will be great for business. Most vendors are working on the power consumption issues anyway, especially on plasmas.
