    I'll go back in time. As tempting as that might be, I'm still going to save the lives.

    DK can have Alba.

    The Whole Nine Yards (with Bruce Willis and Amanda Peet)

    ftr, I want reviews even if you haven't seen them
    My Fair Lady - Sounds like a chick flick, therefore it must be atrociously bad.

    The Oddesey - It's an epic poem, therefore it must be horrible because I hate poetry.

    Phonebooth - Kind of stale at points, but overall it was a decent movie. I didn't see it all but I watched it from the middle on. A bit too predictable IIRC, though.

    The Whole 9 Yards - This movie was pretty damn funny. Twists left and right and good comedy. Plus Amanda Peet naked.

    Probably wouldn't mind turning it on and muting it just because Kirsten Dunst is in it, but I don't really care for the movie in and of itself.

    I'll probably wear a sweater in the winter time, but I'll usually end up taking it off after I start drinking.

    It bothers me to a degree, but in the end I really have no control over it.

    Jerry Seinfeld put it best. I root for the laundry, not the players. If they're still using and get caught I'll end up rooting for some other defensive players.

    The fact that that possibility exists is the part that bothers me.

    Same as my stance in baseball.

    You can't go back and change the past, so anyone who wants to talk about asterisks and erasing records in the record books, yadda yadda yadda is making a stupid suggestion IMHO, but you can control the future and if the player is caught breaking the rules then, by all means, he should be punished.

    Like any rule, if he shows no regards for the punishment by continuing to do it then you make it more severe.

We're logically assuming neither Manning or Rivers have been to or won a super bowl in this alternate reality.
    I'll take Peyton and Addai simply because Peyton opens up the offense so much that he really only needs a good RB (like Addai) to complete the offensive game.

    Torry Holt, Brian Urlacher, and Peyton. (I like Rivers, but imagine Peyton and LT on the same team...)

    This year? Or for the future?

    This year there really aren't that many realistic options on the table to make a quick fix.

    I'd bring up Chase Headley, sign Kenny Lofton if he's healthy, and hope for the best.

    For the near future (2009) they mainly need some speed, so I'd get someone who's fast, can run the bases, and can get on base. Not knowing who's available next year off hand I can't be specific as to who.

    I'd also consider moving the fences in some, but not as much as some other fans would like. The home/away splits of some of the players is crazy.

    The Prior idea is not a bad idea, not sure if I'd do it but I'd certainly take it into consideration.

    Just looking at my play list I guess I'll have to say US just because most of them originate there.

    But that could have a lot to do with who I'm exposed to.

    There certainly are a lot of great artists who originated from the UK.

    Popeye's Chicken and Biscuits.

    It wasn't a bad job for a first job just fresh out of high school, but it was minimum wage and definitely not my career path of choice.

    I did enjoy taking free chicken and mac&cheese home every night, though.

    My boss was pretty cool for the most part, but she got caught embezzling from the store a few years after I quit to join the Navy.

    I always wore these cheap shades to baseball practice that looked kinda like Hollywood Hulk Hogan's



    Except his were 100 dollar Oakley's while mine were 10 dollar cheapies you can find at the grocery store.

    Any rate, WCW was popular at my school back then and it was when the nWo storyline was big and they all started calling me Hollywood.

    I started using it as an internet tag after high school, but nobody really calls me that offline anymore.

    The multitudes of different aspects to the game, statistical analysis, the relaxing atmosphere of a baseball game, the fact that you don't have to be a physical behemoth to succeed, the rich history, if your team loses a game it's not as detrimental to their season as other sports...

    I can go on for a long time with this question.
