I agree with you there, the animation is useless because it would be way too easy doctor. I've often wondered if sports should revisit the FOX-puck tech from the 90s. I certainly don't want the on-screen stuff, but being able to track the ball/puck may be really useful for reviews.

The passer's arm was stuck out (up-field) over whatever yard line that was, and the receiver caught the ball fairly close to the line. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPhONc6xC48 1:15 or so has the best look at it. Maybe it's parallel, but as the video says, as long as it's not forward it's OK.

That's funny, it looks like a lateral to me every time I see it.

My 95 wasn't that bad. 108 thousand nearly trouble-free miles. Yes, I know I'm the only one that can say that. So this will be post #991 for me. I have to think of something reasonably epic for #1000. :)

I'm on my second Subaru, the first had 194k I only had to replace the O2 sensor ($200) and one brake caliper ($60) other than wear and tear items. Absolutely loved that car. The new one only has 15k on it, so it doesn't count (but I love it too).

Awesome CDX, you're putting me to shame. Almost two years ago I was 295, today I'm 230 (and have been for a year or so) thru mostly diet. I guess I'm actually going to have to continue working out to catch up (although I'd be exactly Miller-skinny at 173).

It was carny college, Dept. of guess your age and weight.

I'm not sure if wasting perfectly good sponge candy is worth the trouble. :)

I did that for the cold I had on New Years Eve, and it worked fantastically. Adding Daytime cold medicine and shots helps too. Complaint: kinda sorta dating girl is now friend girl. Knew it was coming for the entire relationship, but doesn't make it suck that much less. Shrader, where does that chick hang out? ;)

Is your return key broken? :) :) (Just a tip, makes the posts more readable) On topic: Since I'm out of town, anyone want to summarize any changes the Bills have made since the end of the season? Fire or waive anyone?

Week before Xmas, same thing. Bummed one or two from a friend up at a vacation house, so I don't know what they were. Sweet though, which would fit in with that friends tastes. Cold outside though on Cayuga that night.

Grapefruit, what a great name. The goods: Planning a cross-country bike trip this summer via Montana and Oregon. It'll be my longest trip on the bike *by far*. I've completed most of the Buffalo Cuisine Tour including: Seneca Texas Hots vs. Louie's Texas Red Hots challenge, Buffalo-style pizza, and beef on weck from Bar Bill. Need to complete the wings and fish fry objectives tonight. I'm not *that* sick.

I drank with her a bunch of years ago, just as nice to look at in person as on the tube. Agreed. I've lucked out as far as that goes, I've dated girls with big blue eyes, expressive brown eyes, emerald green eyes, and cool gray eyes.

A year or two I left a couple bottles in the fridge for over a year and it was fine. Not sure about actually cellaring it though. If any of the Buffalo locals haven't tried it, go check out the Pizza Plant over on Main St in Williamsville (first light off the 90/290 exit). Good food (Buffalo pizza shop style) and 10-12 taps of interesting and fairly obscure beers. Bear Double Rocket, Dogfish Chicory Stout, and a couple others a few nights ago. I want to give a shout out to a nice little beer app, untappd. A friend coaxed me into trying it and it's mildly fun to catalog various beers as I drink them. I usually only manage to record the first couple of the night though. :) http://untappd.com, or via the Android or iPhone market.

Alex is very proficient, but doesn't much 'soul' or 'heart' in his playing. I guess it depends on how you rate things. Errrr, Alex is #98 in the above link.

Oddly addictive:

Going out for drinks and dancing tonight. Tis the season for merriment.

And we'd be crying about how Howard had to fight his own battle and no one came to pound the Vancouver player into the ice. Lindstrom just stood there and watched and doesn't touch anyone! Trade that soft bum.

Agreed, some times the editor preserves whitespace, sometimes it mashes everything together. Haven't figured out the rhyme nor reason yet.

Exactly what I going to write. I wonder what the Islanders' Team Stormcloud (Team Nor'easter?) is saying.

That's certainly *not* the way it's going. On the plus side, it's all for a good reason and I want her to be happy. Ideally involving me somehow.

Wow, that's exactly like the song: Complaint: It's a complicated story, but girl I'm kinda dating is evaluating whether we're still kinda dating.

I've been to a few in a bunch of different kinds of venues, always put on a good show. Venues: bar, concert hall, outdoor rock show, outdoor kids show, and (I kid you not) a Barnes and Noble bookstore. They were touring to support the kids' books they wrote/recorded.

Missed most of the Pietasters last night, but the Slackers were F'N Fantastic. Plus, I lost a little weight, I need to do the drink and dance like an idiot workout more often.

Speaking of which the undead hand is awesome, even if it's sadly apropos.
