It's been a while for me...
1. Joe Torre bringing the Dodgers to the playoffs has to be salt in the wounds for the Yankee braintrust. That he's doing it in a terrible division doesn't soften the blow much, if at all.
2. If Joe Girardi hadn't already had a good season managing the Marlins, I would question his ability to right this ship. Even factoring that in, I'm not 100% convinced.
3. The Yankees have never recovered from October 2004, when the Red Sox were humiliated in the first three games, then dished out their own humiliation in the next four. The teams have since headed in opposite directions, with the Red Sox doing so many things right, and the Yankees so many things wrong since then.
4. The Rays story is not getting enough publicity. Just an amazing season.
5. The Mets are doing everything they can to miss the playoffs, but the Brewers are not co-operating.
6. Did the Rockies start their 22 game winning streak yet?
7. Lots of pressure on Lou Piniella in the playoffs. His post game press conferences are going to be interesting to say the least.
8. The football Giants are playing every weak team there is the next few weeks, except Ohio State.
9. On behalf of all Buckeye fans I'd like to apologize for my team wasting about 11 hours of your time in the last three big out of conference games they've played. Neither you or I will ever get that time back.
10. Another one of my teams that hasn't recovered from a big loss, this one being the first blowout against Florida. The team has played scared, and Tressel has coached scared in big games, ever since.
11. One more triathlon, this Saturday in Virginia. It's Olympic distance, swim a mile, bike 25 miles, run 6.2 miles. I am currently in the best shape of my life, with a resting pulse of 50.
12. So far I've completed two sprint triathlons, one in May and one four weeks ago on the Jersey shore. An Olympic is twice as long, but a lot more than twice as difficult.
13. Anyone familiar with Tony Horton's P90x workout DVD's? I think I may try that after a week rest from triathlon training.
14. So psyched Entourage is back. The Shield, Weeds and Mad Men too.
15. I watched an old Woody Allen/Diane Keaton movie last night, Love and Death. It was hysterical...check it out.
16. Why am I the only one who knows the Rangers will be absolutely terrible this year, unless Henrik does something he hasn't done yet...dominated an entire season. Every writer and every message poster I've seen thinks we're going to be good at least, perhaps great. You don't lose a Sean Avery and a Martin Straka and improve. You just don't.
17. Hank Moody is one of the great characters on television.
18. I feel bad for Ed Hochiuli. If I were Norv Turner I wouldn't pick a fight with Hochiuli if I meet him in an alley. That referee has some huge arms.
19. Tom who?
20. I really enjoyed the final between Jankovic and Serena Williams. Great tennis, and Serena is one athlete I'd really like to meet...she seems so genuine. Henrik Lundqvist is the other, for a whole different reason.
21. John McEnroe is one of the best announcers on television...in any sport.
22. This is my first year with NFL Sunday Ticket. Oh my, it's beyond amazing. The Red Zone channel alone is worth the price of admission.
23. How come the NFL game mix channel has the games in HD and the MLB game mix channel doesn't?
24. I really hope Hockey Night in Canada games are in HD this year.
25. A funny line from Jimmy Kimmel...he said Sarah Palin looks like one of those teachers in a Van Halen video who takes off her glasses, undoes her hair, and all of a sudden she's in a bikini and high heels.
26. Southside Johnny is on Conan tonight with LaBamba. I guess you have to be a Jersey Shore girl (or boy) to appreciate that, but you should watch anyway. Love the South.
27. Mike is better without the Mad Dog. I'm sick of getting screamed at by him and Craig Carton. I don't even listen to FAN in the morning anymore, I'm strictly Mike and Mike, with some Angelo Cataldi from 610 WIP Philly thrown in. I can only take Angelo in small doses too, though...too much 'guy' humor, that isn't as funny as he thinks it is.
28. Is there anything better than buying a whole new wardrobe because all of your jeans are way too big?
29. Peter Nedved. No offer for Brendan Shanahan, but Nedved is coming in for a tryout. The Edmonton Genius strikes again. Unbelievable.
30. Can someone please tell Henrik Lundqvist all my jeans are way too big?

It's fashionable right now to kick the Buckeyes while they're down, and as a disgusted fan I'm leading the parade. But let's look at some facts before we declare Ohio State dead forever.
In all three games in which they were blown out they did score first, and threatened to make it a game each time. I said they played scared against USC, because as soon as something went wrong, the team folded. Don't forget, the OSU offense took it to the vaunted USC defense on their first possession, then drove the field once again the second time they had the ball. That's where things started to unravel, with penalties and mistakes totally taking them out of their game. You could see the 'Here we go again' looks on their faces, and that includes Jim Tressel.
But don't forget, aside from the last two championship games Ohio State has acquitted themselves well over the years in bowl games, incluing winning a championship game in 2003. And the Big Ten as a whole didn't do too badly last year, including 'cream puff' Michigan beating Florida on New Years Day. And you want to talk about scheduling creampuffs? USC plays Notre Dame every year!
Ohio State did play a home and home with Texas when they had Vince Young and the year after, and of course they traveled to USC this year. Let's see if you're going to post how USC is out of Ohio State's league in two years, when they come to the Horseshoe. Terrell Pryor will be a junior, both teams will likely have a couple of more top ten recruiting classes under their belts, and the outcome could be very different.

I still think Ohio State could make one of the other four BCS games.
They won't play an SEC team- they'll play Texas Tech/Missouri... and give up 60.
BTW, have you noticed Visitor's Lighthouse-landers avatar?
I haven't heard an Icelander joke in months.

Sandra, I defended our Buckeye's in this post...
http://www.satelliteguys.us/1517704-post20.html
If you haven't read it yet, it breaks down all of the Buckeye's key wins in big games and all of their Bowl game results since 2002. OSU is and has been a top tier program for years. It's a shame, 3 games are overshadowing everything else they've accomplished in the Tressel led regime.
Because Oklahoma will be in the title game.
I believe you. I am betting it will be USC vs. Oklahoma. It should be a great (and close) game.Because Oklahoma will be in the title game.

The situation w/ the Titans and Jordan Elliott is scary.

Makes me think of the Javon Belcher murder suicide.
Titans' Jordan Elliott was released after reportedly going to retrieve a gun after dispute at practice
Jordan Elliott lasted just five games with the Titans.
Makes me think of the Javon Belcher murder suicide.

Just finished S2. Watching Gary Oldman as deshvilved, dejected MI-6 agent, Jackson Lamb, is one of the best things streaming right now. Already 2 more seasons in the works. HIGHLY recommended. And yes, Mick Jagger sings the theme.

On Tuesday, I recorded the first episodes of the new season's NCIS shows on CBS (Dish provided, not OTA). The new New York series and Origins will both do Auto Skip, but the original, now season 24 does not. What's stranger, when I do a search for NCIS, Origins and New York show the current recording and the next episode it will record, but the original show only shows the current recording and some other channel showing the very first episode of season one. It makes no sense. When I set up the timers, I was able to use search for Origins and New York, but for the original, I had to scroll ahead in the guide until last Tuesday when the show was airing. Then set the timer from there. You can see its timer type is DVR where the other two are Seek. What am I missing?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sometimes a thread gets so many posts in it that is can cause issues for the server so that why today we introduce The Song Name Game Part 3!
So let the game continue!
The last song was added by Bobby who posted...
One Meat Ball - Andrews Sisters
CONTINUE ON AND HAVE FUN! WELCOME HOME TO SATELLITEGUYS.US!
Here are the original rules for the game as posted by WebbyDude back in 2006. http://www.satelliteguys.us/threads/68645-Song-Name-Game
Just name a song title and the band who performed it. The next person does the same thing, but needs to list a song title or band name which includes a word from the previous entry. Pick songs from any genre.
Example:
Long Live Rock and Roll -- Rainbow
Rainbow in the Dark -- Dio
Another example:
Ride the Lightning -- Metallica
Lightning Strikes -- Ozzy Osbourne
Get it?
An additional note: we all know that song titles, sometimes, use profane words. Because this is a family friendly website it is advised that you clean up that title up a bit. This is accomplished by using something like sh!t instead of the real word. Thanks....

Much better than the critics would want you to believe. Only problem, the last guy was pretty obvious a couple of episodes in.
