Half getting this (novel) off my chest, half seeing if anybody out there would have succumbed to road rage (100-times worse than I did). The back-story: My oldest daughter is "blossoming into womanhood," and is scared, grumpy, cramping, et al while having her first menstrual cycle. On top of...

Been thinking for the past year or two...what if the various accounts of creation and/or the visits/acts/commands of "gods" from written accounts in different world histories/religions all got a portion of the story correct? What if Christianity, Judaism, Islam, the Mayan/Aztec accounts from...

What happens in dynasty leagues to older veteran player value (player leaving or past their fantasy prime) if negotiations between owners and the NFLPA break-down and the possibility of a shortened or lost 2011 season looks more and more likely as we roll into the Spring and Summer? I think the...

This might draw a few of those responses that others get for posting things like "Chris Johnson had a TERRIBLE stat line on Sunday...minus those two 50-yard TD runs." :confused: That said, I wanted to get something out there and off my chest. When watching replays of NFL games, slow motion...

25 pinned threads today (SO FAR). Really? That is honestly one thing I've always disliked about The Shark Pool around FBGs....having to scroll down to see any threads that forum participants decide is important via participation in said threads (versus whatever threads the mods decide are most...

Just curious. The stuff I'll be watching for in particular: 1. How the three QBs look. 2. Percy Harvin...and if the "wildcat" makes an appearance. 3. Jaymar Johnson. Aundrae Allison wasn't worth keeping ahead of him, apparently, so I'm anxious to see him live and in-person. Anybody else...

Good news for all us Vikings fans out there: http://blogs.startribune.com/vikingsblog/?p=3061 Five year extension, $36 million, including $16.1 in guarantees.

Okay, I know there used to be a thread for this somewhere, but I'm not seeing anything after pages of searching through the FFA, so I thought I'd start a new thread and face the FFA's wrath. :lmao: Our house is haunted. I mean HAUNTED. Built in 1913 and 1914, our house seems to be a...

My family and I are having a rotten Thanksgiving week with my oldest daughter (6) undergoing a five-hour surgery to improve her kidney function yesterday. She feels horrible post-op (nausea, pain from the surgical incisions, pain from the stuff they had to put inside her, etc.), which makes my...

Seriously. I get two "breaking news" submissions hitting my email box this afternoon with "FBGs cost me my league because they got the wrong kicker projected for the Giants this week" (when everybody and their brother who spends five minutes following the NFL had probably heard that Coughlin...

From the Footballguys.com News Blogger: The Oakland Raiders have agreed to terms with first-round draft pick, RB Darren McFadden. Terms of the agreement were not disclosed, though a press conference has been scheduled for Friday, June 6 at 2:00pm Eastern Time. Link...

I was working the News Blogger tonight, when I came across the Redskins signing free agents offensive lineman Andrew Crummey and tight end Jason Goode to contracts. "Crummey" and "Goode." Just one of the funnier headlines I've come across when working the News Blogger over the past 3+ years...

Not a complaint per-se, but over the past several days, I've just been continually reminded that I have to scroll vertically before I can see any of the active threads in the Shark Pool. Kind of annoying, especially when a few of the pinned threads are probably not worth a pin and/or are...

Okay, assuming we can quickly get the "Who cares?" or "Williamson SUCKS" comments out of the way, I wanted to see if anyone else out there who watched the Vikings/Broncos game today (or saw highlights of Williamson's drop) paid much attention to what Williamson did AFTER the drop. If you did...

From the Footballguys.com News Blogger: According to the local CBS affiliate in Denver and current Denver Broncos starting quarterback Jay Cutler, quarterback Jake Plummer is seriously considering retirement. "I think anybody close to Jake, who knows him on a personal level, if he came in one...

Uh oh. :confused: Per the Footballguys News Blogger: Miami Dolphins wide receiver Marcus Vick had a lawsuit filed against him on Wednesday, in which a 17-year old girl accused him of sexual battery, fraud and other charges. The girl claims to have had a sexual relationship with Vick since...

Thought this one was interesting, on the heels of Ricky Williams and Onterrio Smith. From the Footballguys.com News Blogger Canadian Football League commissioner Tom Wright announced on Thursday that the league would bar suspended NFL players from participating in the CFL beginning in 2007...

From the Footballguys.com News Blogger: Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green said on Thursday that cornerback David Macklin would start for the team ahead of cornerback Eric Green, due to recent poor play by Green. http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/index.php...;dest=STY-79062

Is it just me, or was that attempted lateral by Chris Gamble of the Panthers yesterday just about the dumbest play in the history of football? The Panthers are up by seven in the fourth quarter, their defense (Peppers, in particular) is DOMINATING the Vikings offense, and they're going to be...

From the Footballguys News Blogger: Mike Ornstein, the marketing agent for New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush, said recently that his client is unlikely to agree to terms with the team prior to the opening of Training Camp on July 27. "Do we feel like he'll be there at the start (of...
