As we prepare to elect a new president, and after a very interesting weekend of football, time for my umpteenth version of 'Random Thoughts!'

1. HD MM, how confident are you in the idea that your Browns will take advantage of Denver's porous defense?

2. Oakland's offensive numbers will be burned in my mind forever. I am sorry if this hurts Salsa's feelings, but they are hard to ignore.

3. I think Bill may be jumping the gun by saying Miami will make the playoffs. IMO, they will make the playoffs next year.

4. I can't help but wonder have the good people of Kansas City donw to deserve the fate that has befallen their Chiefs. Where have you gone, Neil Smith?

5. The Arizona/Philadelphia game on Thanksgiving, IMO, will be a better game than last year's Colts/Falcons turkey

6. If Jacksonville loses to Detroit, will SandraC finally post a picture/pictures of herself?

7. 10 yards passing for Oakland and 14 rushing yards for Denver?

8. If the Vikings had chosen Gus Frerotte as their starting QB before the season, they would be fighting for home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs

9. The Wild-Card game I would love to see more than any other is New Orleans vs. Arizona. If Philly/Washington continue to knock each other off, the Saints could get in.

10. What happened to lancemccaffrey? His Redskins are playing phenomenal football, yet I haven't heard from him in about three months.

11. The Nuggets/Pistons blockbuster trade, given the timing and earliness of the season, reminds me of the 1987 Eric Dickerson trade.

12. What are the chances Clinton Portis rushes for over 2,000 yards? Does he have a realistic chance?

13. In light of Denver's 14 passing yards yesterday, you think the Broncos regret having traded the man of many costumes?

14. This is a 'Revenge of the Nerds' style sports year- Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Falcons, Northwestern football (BEWARE of the Cats, tOSU fans. They are hungry!)... in the words of Lombardi, WHAT THE HEL'S GOING ON OUT HERE?!

15. Anyone want to make a bold prediction? I would like to have someone else make a big, risky predicton and have it come true?

16. Bruce Smith should be elected into the NFL Hall of Fame in 2009.

17. Who do you consider the most overrated running back in NFL history?

18. I know HD, Jimbo, Sandra, and Wozniak will disagree, but Michigan/Ohio State may not be the most important Big 10 game that day. IMO, it'll take a back seat to Michigan State/Penn State!

19. Does San Francisco have ANY CHANCE of beating Arizona next Monday Night?

20. Now that Kyle Orton is out for four games, will the Bears have the same difficulties at QB Dallas has had?

21. Who's the early favorite for NFL Defensive Player of the Year? I say Joey Porter, given his ridiculous number of sacks at this point in the season.

22. Percentage-wise, what are the chances C.C. Sabathia is still a Brewer in 2009?

23. I don't care if Albert Pujols had better percentage numbers than Ryan Howard; Howard was better at bashing the baseball and driving runs home. Howard should win another MVP award.

24. I heard that the Bengals have lost only once in the last five years when they wear the alternate 'all-orange' uniform. Maybe they should wear them on a permanent basis.

25. *************

You realize that the hit LT had on Montana in the NFC CG knocked Joe out for nearly 2 years and led to him being traded to the Chiefs? Now that's a big time hit!

Leonard Marshall delivered that big hit on Montana, not L.T.

IMO, that 49ers team, even had they survived the Giants, would not have beaten Buffalo in the Super Bowl. San Fran had an awful running game that year (this was before they got Ricky Watters) and Steve Young woud have been in way over his head.

What??? The 49ers would have beaten Buffalo so bad it would have made SB XXVII (Dal 56-Buf 17) look competitive. Remember the Niners thrashed the Broncos 55-10 in SB XXIV the year before. The only reason Buffalo had a shot in SB XXV was that they were playing the Giants. Steve Young in over his head? :haha I think Young would have racked up more fantasy points against the Bills than he did against the Chargers in SB XXIX.

I agree

5. The Arizona/Philadelphia game on Thanksgiving, IMO, will be a better game than last year's Colts/Falcons turkey
I'm not sold on the Cardinals yet. They are this year's New Orleans (a lot of hype that will fold when push comes to shove)

8. If the Vikings had chosen Gus Frerotte as their starting QB before the season, they would be fighting for home-field advantage in the NFC playoffs
Agree and disagree. T-Jack was/is horrible but I'm not sure Frerotte is quite good enough either.

12. What are the chances Clinton Portis rushes for over 2,000 yards? Does he have a realistic chance?
No.

14. This is a 'Revenge of the Nerds' style sports year- Arizona Cardinals, Tampa Bay Rays, Atlanta Falcons, Northwestern football (BEWARE of the Cats, tOSU fans. They are hungry!)... in the words of Lombardi, WHAT THE HEL'S GOING ON OUT HERE?!
LOL you're right.

17. Who do you consider the most overrated running back in NFL history?
Emmitt Smith. He was good to be sure but he played for a great team with a great quarterback, great receiver and great offensive line. Many of his runs were untouched into the secondary.

18. I know HD, Jimbo, Sandra, and Wozniak will disagree, but Michigan/Ohio State may not be the most important Big 10 game that day. IMO, it'll take a back seat to Michigan State/Penn State!
I totally agree and I like it! Let Mich/OSU play second fiddle for once.

19. Does San Francisco have ANY CHANCE of beating Arizona next Monday Night?
Yes.

25. Finally, who do you want to see elected president?
George Carlin, but he's dead.

22. Percentage-wise, what are the chances C.C. Sabathia is still a Brewer in 2009?

.01% Even if Sabathia likes Milwaukee enough to stay, The money he will get from the Yankees will make it impossible for Milwaukee to get close enough to make the union happy. He'll be gone. Also, I don't want to get my hopes up.

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....

I'm getting fabulous picture on Ch. 148 4k, but zero audio with H713. This is with a recorded show (Notre Dame game). Anyone else have this? Audio is fine on every other channel.

It's a known issue.
For a temporary fix, go into the menu, Audio, and turn Dolby Audio "OFF". You will have PCM stereo audio.

I was able to give the tech ops team some data logs so they could diagnose the problem, and they rolled me back to H708 temporarily. It fixed that issue.

They let me know that they understand what caused the issue, and it will be fixed within a few weeks in a new update.

I guess they will be busy when lots of people start asking for rollbacks to H708 now that you mention that downgrades of software does exist because it will likely fix the OTA Single Tuner and the IR Remote problems in H710-H713.

Stargate SG-1 cancelled, Atlantis renewed

Monday - August 21, 2006 | by Darren Sumner

The future of Stargate is in question today, as SCI FI Channel has cancelled the long-running Stargate SG-1, Multichannel News reported today and a GateWorld source has confirmed. The news regrettably follows the airing of the show's milestone two-hundredth episode on Friday.

Stargate Atlantis, meanwhile, has been renewed for a fourth season, with the network hoping to see that the spin-off series can stand alone, according to a source.

I have gotten back into watching SG-1 and I have recorded most of the episodes to binge watch. What episodes are about the Antarctic or was this a movie? Also where could I watch the SG-1 movies?

Well, there are a couple involving the Antarctic. "Solitudes", S1 E17 (one of my favorites), Then, "Lost City', S7 E21 and E22. Then, in the SGA pilot, "Rising", S1 E1 and E2, it starts out in the Antarctic for about the first 20 minutes or so.

Which one has O'Neil being Ancients? I am at the end of Season 8 now.

If I understand your question, O'Neill had the Ancient's knowledge in the "Lost City" two-part episode. That was when Anubis attacked Earth and there was a big battle over Antarctica.
