This guy is really starting to make me nervous. I'm starting to think he should not be coaching in the city with the most intense media coverage in the country.

They start off 3-0, and everywhere you turn you see...AND HEAR...the guy, and he's acting like he reinvented the game. Then you hear players like Bart Scott chiming in, with how great the defense is as well. Note to Bart...in New York you need to actually WIN something before you can tell us how great you are. You didn't hear a peep out of the Yankees all the way through the playoffs, and they did actually win.

Things head south, and even though he lost the anchor of his defense, Kris Jenkins, and the team stops winning, the guy doesn't relent with the bravado. It sounded odd but funny at 3-0. When you're losing it sounds odd and pathetic.

Regarding his rookie QB, Cryan reminds me of the dad on the soccer sidelines whose six year old shows some skills, and his team wins a few games, and he starts talking and acting like the kid's team is the greatest team on the planet. The last thing Sanchez needs is the pressure Cryan is putting on him, he needs to grow into the position and learn from his mistakes. I think with proper handling the kid can be good. Not sure if he's getting the proper handling, though.

So now we have Sanchez reading from a list before the reporters after the game and not taking questions. Uh, Mark, this is New York, not LA where everyone fawns all over USC even when they lose. You do not want to turn the media against you here, they are giving you every opportunity to succeed...but will turn on you if you act as condescendingly as the coach does.

And incidentally, when did Sanchez make that list anyway...while he was taking a shower? Or did he already have it prepared before the game?

And Cryan Crying. Oh my goodness, I don't know what to make of that. He can bring a box of Kleenex to the next press conference to try to make light, but it's still odd and disturbing.

A head coach needs to maintain an even keel when nobody else does. He is getting way too high during the wins, and way too low during the losses. I've been commenting all along about his weight, I hope he's a healthy man. Now I have to hope he's mentally healthy enough to coach an NFL team in New York as well.

She wants Rex Ryan to learn on the job and start acting like a real coach.

OK, this week's coaching bluster is about the Patriots throwing deep to Randy Moss in the dying minutes of a game where the Patriots are up 31-14. Earth to Rex...even though you don't act professional, this is professional football. Everything is fair game. If you don't want to see your team humiliated...COACH THEM BETTER.

Never has so much been said by someone who has accomplished so little.

I'm starting to think the 'Drama of the Week' show is an attempt to deflect attention from the real matter at hand, the fact that his team is not very good. The funny thing is, with all of the mitigating circumstances...new coach, rookie QB, the loss of Leon Washington and Kris Jenkins, etc., Jet fans would be quick to write this off as a rebuilding year and look positively upon a 4-6 record.

At least Mangini is gone.

But no, Rex and his guys had to tell us over and over and over again how great they are, so now they're being held to their own higher standard.

And Ryan has got to reel in his California Boy at QB. Sanchez's act is not going to work in New York. The hot dogs on the sidelines, the condescending way he treats the press, the GQ cover, the way he acts like they're undefeated when he's a big part of the reason why they're not...

Time to start building toward 2010, and that starts with benching Sanchez now, at least for a game or two. It's not about wins the rest of this year, it's irrelevant whether Clemens leads them to victory or defeat...Sanchez is still the QB in 2010...if he handles it properly.

But Sanchez has got to stop getting everything handed to him on a platter...he has to earn it for a change. Pete Carroll said he did not think Sanchez was ready for the NFL. At the time it sounded selfish. Now it sounds prescient.

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....

Has anyone noticed an FF stutter with 713? I used to be able to hit FF a few times and skip smoothly. After 713 (maybe 712), when I skip forward, there is a definite stutter for as many times as I have pressed FF.

Can anyone check on this and report back? Recorded programs and then press skip forward a few times to see if it's smooth? Normally, it just jumps to the right place after the skips.

My wife mentioned that her remote is acting strange this morning. She hit FF and it went to 15x FF.

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.

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.

Season 2 order already in hand:

'Star Trek: Starfleet Academy' Renewed for Season 2, Tatiana Maslany to Guest Star in Season 1

I've not been optimistic about this show based on what I've read so far. Seems to be aimed at a younger audience. Interesting though that Tatiana Maslany will have some sort of role.

Yeah, the foot stuff was just nasty. I kept thinking of how dirty her feet would get traipsing around shoe-less. Funny, I love being shoe less at home and never wear shoes indoors in my home for long, but seeing her laying on all her furniture with her bare feet hanging out just kind of grossed me out.

There would still be dirt ,dust in the future I am sure. So walking around the station like she did she would get stuff on her feet. I am sure the robot vacuum is still going to miss stuff, with all those different alien species running around there.

Why do you think cleaning technology won't improve in the next few hundred years? HEPA filtration was invented as part of the Manhattan Project.

I don't know, but I still don't like her walking through the station or the academy with out her shoes. It looks unprofessional and very "hippy like" for someone of her status and I personally don't get off to feet, so there is that. ;)
