Sec. 114 row 20 seat 8 and 9 for me tonite...ready to lose my voice, braincells, and whatever else I don't need.
Litsch now 1-6 in last 7...sorry kid but the book is out on you.
YF,
our season tix are 114 row 20 and i believe seats 22-26 or thereabouts.
i take back EVERYTHING i said about danny dichio. EVERYTHING. had no idea finishing was so feeble without him.
Careful GBVH, he's security there after all - don't want to end up on his radar. HA!
Yeah, YF, we're 20-24 in row 20 as I think you already know. Not there tonight, unfortunately.
I quit BMO lightyears ago. Something about them catching me for the 2nd time taking bribes but they didn't know who did it. So they decided to hold a meeting. I just lost interest and said fuck it.
I really think the Favre to the Bucs rumour is pure speculation. Garcia was very good for us last season, and we have 3 competent QBs fighting for the #2 spot, and a possible QB of the future in Josh Johnson.
Favre to Old man Galloway would be pretty awesome though.
I think TB is a natural candidate. After all, Chuckie has never met a QB he didn't have a chub over.
I don't know if I'd really be against it, though i've always disliked Favre. He'd be an upgrade, but people tend to forget that Grudens offense has the most complicated verbage in the league. With TC basically about to begin I think it's pretty much to late to add a new starter. Especially when someone who knows the offense as well as Garcia is still present...
Also Favre and his gunslinger style is hardly a typical fit into a westcoast offense...
frickin' embarassing for TFC, 5 mins left.
Not sure I really like the comments on the main page but it might be good for awhile if people don't realize they can comment.
It changed back. Must have been temp.
re: Jacobs...
SO so tired of the "disrespect" thingy. Speaking of tired...
SO so tired of Brett Favre.
