AFC North 2010

Football season is just around the corner! At last!

The AFC North has quite a few bulletin points heading into the 2010 season...

-Steelers: Roethlisberger suspended the first 6 games, OT Willie Colon out for the season with injury, WR Limas Sweed out for the season with injury, lost Santonio Holmes to the Jets, lost Willie Parker to free agency. By all accounts, this looks like a down year for the Steelers.

-Ravens: Finally added a premier WR in Anquan Boldin. They also signed Donte Stallworth. These move should only help the growth of Joe Flacco and help to further spread out the offense to favor breakout RB sensation, Ray Rice.

-Browns: Added a veteran QB in Jake Delhomme & Seneca Wallace, got rid of the QB controversy in Brady Quinn and Derek Anderson and drafted Colt McCoy. Other notable additions include LB Scott Fujita, CB Sheldon Brown and TE Ben Watson. The Browns look to build on the 4 straight wins they closed out last year with.

-Bengals: The most notable acquisition by the Bengals were the signing of WR's Antonio Bryant, Matt Jones and Return Specialist Pacman Jones. They should fit right in with the rest of the "me-first" mentalities on this team.

9 . . . 8 . . . 7 . . . 6 ?

Pittsburgh Post Gazette on the Steelers....

They were a 9-win team a year ago, with the quarterback generally upright and relatively upstanding. They were probably an 8-win team with the departure of Santonio Tweeter-dumb Holmes, probably a 7-win team in light of the formerly-upstanding quarterback's four- to six-week suspension. They look like maybe a 6-win team with Colon's Achilles unstrung.

Steelers HOPING to be a 6 win team this year? Ouch!

This came from the Post Gazette ?

Steelers will win at LEAST 9 games this year, probably more.

I don't think that statement was that far off base. Especially considering all the obstacles the Steelers are dealing with that I listed in the original post.

6 games ?

I wouldn't be surprised to see the Steeler's at 6-6 at the 12 game mark.
Hopefully better.

You all think that because Ben's not in there, they don't have a chance .....

They have a few very good guys that have stepped in previously and kept the team rolling.
Batch and Leftwich both know the offense inside and out.
I'd like to see what Dixon can do in game time situations.

I really haven't heard anything one way or the other on him.
However, I haven't looked either.

Your right, he's a HUGE part of what the team is capable of.

If he's healthy, they will be fine this year.

This will be a fascinating division to watch in 2010, for every team has a juicy storyline.

Ravens- Will the Boldin trade pay dividends? Will Baltimore's offense finally match up as well as their vaunted defense?

Bengals- Can Benson run like he did last year? Will Owens work out well in Cinci stripes? How will the chemistry experiment go?

Browns- Can Cleveland build off last year's late surge? Will the new QB's improve the offense? How many touchdown s will the newly-signed Josh Cribbs score?

Steelers- Who'll be the QB early in the season? How will Roethlisberger play after the suspension? Who'll step up to replace Holmes' production? Will Polamalu be healthy?

Steelers edition:
QB early one will be either Leftwitch or Dixon.
Ben will play fine after he gets a few games in.
Replace Holmes, Mike Wallace will do that, he was VERY impressive last year.
Troy will be healthy at the start, hopefully stays that way thru the year...
As we know, NO NFL player is HEALTHY after week one.

Song Name Game Part 3!

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 heard on the radio, after the final pitstop, Turner Motorsport were resigned to second place. 'You're in second. Don't worry about it. First is McLaren, we aren't catching them.'

Caught up to the 500... err... k in St. Louis. What a race! Andretti Motorsport were doing very well with Ericsson and Kirkwood, meanwhile Power was moving up the grid. Veekay started cautiously. He was working the tires just right, becoming more lethal later in the stint. Rasmussen was racing likewise, not nearly as insane as he has in the past. Palou was leading the race, in a shocker to all. Caio Collet was having a wonderful ride, making Ferucci potentially sweat a bit. Rain came, rain went, rain came, rain went. Generally mild sprinkles, but enough to pause racing on an oval.

Palou would kind of send Siegel into the wall. Siegel really didn't do much wrong. As he noted, you have to turn at some point. Palou had acres of room below and Siegel might have had his ticket out of Indycar stamped. Dixon was doing the fuel thing and got busted twice by yellows, not pitting before the flag came out. Then the most critical happened... Palou ran out of gas on pit lane, effectively giving Newgarden the race lead and win. Newgarden had a very early pit, so he was able to slide in, get service and go. Meanwhile, everyone else was confused and stuck behind Palou for a bit. Once people figured what was happening, Newgarden had a major advantage of several seconds. Newgarden wouldn't look back and when it went green again, he'd hold the lead for the win.

Massive credit to Juncos Hollinger who bested Penske in getting Veekay out before Malukas in a transition that was oddly bizarre. I haven't had time to check, but I'm wondering if Veekay was about to run out of fuel or cut a tire. He was charging late in a stint, got up to fifth, and then tailed back for a few laps to 10th or 11th. It looked like it was over. Went into the pits, and after the pitting sequence was over, Veekay was well inside the top ten again. It was weird. And he charged, getting up to fourth. He made a late move on Rasmussen, but Rasmussen held his position with some great driving. In fact, there was a ton of incredible racing passing, not passing all race long. Veekay would finish 4th. A podium would have been awesome, but it is a great outcome for a guy who hopefully will get a break with a big team. We saw what Veekay could do with a Honda last season with fuel save, imagine replacing Simpson on Ganassi and having speed to go with fuel saving. His 6th at Indy and 4th at St. Louis get him up to 13th in the points standings and only 5 points outside of the top 10.

Ericsson finished second, resigned to finishing behind the current best in the world guy on a short oval. Rasmussen got the final step on the podium, a nice rebound to what has been an otherwise bad year for him, and a good reward to ECR who just extended his contract.

They raced USAC cars at Daytona once. Once! People died. Aj Foyt said 'f this', and left after the first go around. AJ freaking Foyt thought it was crazy! And cars weren't nearly as fast as they are now.

I think they tried Talladega once too.

Brave Browser for Androud

I have had good experiences with Brave but lately I am frustrated with it.

Now when I launch the app it shows a box at the bottom asking if I want to go back to the last opened page. It is in conveniently located and I would prefer to eliminate it.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Please let's not sidetrack the discussion into an exploration of why I don't care for it or a lecture about all the wonderful aspects of the feature. I just do not care for it.

I don't have an Android phone so I don't know if this will apply to the Brave settings on your android device but it works on the desktop for me.

Change this setting to either startup to a different website or a new tab page. I have mine set to open to google.com instead of where I left off and it doesn't ask me at the next startup if I want to open the last opened page unless it crashed.

Due to security concerns and the fact that the Tapatalk Plugin for Xenforo is no longer being updated we have removed Tapatalk support from SatelliteGuys.

For those who were using it we recommend using our PWA App instead which is faster and does not have all the spam Tapatalk had. Below is a graphic showing how to add SatelliteGuys to your devices home screen. (While iOS is shown the process is mostly the same for Android.)

Thanks for your understanding.

Actually, PWA stands for "Progressive Web Application" and is basically just saving a site's homepage to your desktop where it appears as an "App" with the rest of your smartphone's Apps.

New low power station with CP has been granted. "Albuquerque "

New low power station has been granted by the FCC and the new call leter is K33OB-D on RF ch. 33.

Will run at 15 KW ERP, this one runs from the Westside same location as KWPL-LD a HC2 owned station.

It's going to be aimed at eastern part of Albuquerque, so it's tightly focused beam pattern.
